????? ?????????

I've been working at Freddy Fazbear's Mega Pizzaplex for about 3 months now as an arcade mechanic. I've only met Music Man, as the arcade is his area, and Freddy in passing on my way to the arcade. At first his size scared me, he's the size of a grizzly bear standing at 8'6", but now its not as scary. I still get jumped scared by him often, it's almost like he does it on purpose. 

I'm looking at my Faz watch, reading the message Melanie just sent me when I feel eyes on me. I look up and almost jump out of my skin when I'm met with DJ's face in mine, he'd been looking over my shoulder. "What's got you all jumpy?" he asks, his deep yet energetic voice booming through the arcade. "I'm just-" I continue venting to him, as I've grown quite comfortable with him. "Mel, the- my manger... said that she needs my help. She wants me to. Um... check on Bonnie's memory chip for the events of the past nights."  Dj, as he lets me call him, hums in response. "Do you feel comfortable with that?" He sounds slightly concerned which makes me a bit worried "No-Not really." He tilts his head slightly, thinking. "Maybe Freddy could join you? I would but I've got to charge in 5." I know he'd go with if he could, he's decently good at making me feel safe, especially when its talking about maybe meeting the others. "I suppose, I mean I'd feel more comfortable with another...being there." He raises an eyebrow, probably confused at how I stated 'being'. "But I also don't like the r-rumors about him..." Dj stares blankly, causing me to continue. "I've heard about what happened with his last night guard. H-He.... malfunctioned and... um.." I start playing with the rings on my fingers while looking up at Music Man, who was now sitting in one of his tunnels in the wall, the ones that allow him to crawl around easier. "Well" He said, sighing "I could see if Sun-" I stop him mid-sentence "O-on second thought, I should be fine with Freddy- H-he's fine" Dj huffs, clearly not convinced by my stuttering mess of words "p-perfectly fine!" I insist, grabbing my tool box and running down the stairs of the arcade. I hear him chuckle from the tunnels, "Good Luck, Songbird ! " He yells the nickname he gave me the other day, causing my cheeks to flush slightly. 

'I had my earbuds in, singing along to the music while cleaning up an arcade game in the storage room. He heard me through one of his tunnels in the walls.'

I smile at the memory while making my way through the arcade doors and to the other side of the third-floor balcony. Stopping in front of the doors that had the big neon sign above it, 'Bonnie's Bowling', I lick my lips, pulling my bottom lip between my teeth and nervously chewing while looking around for Freddy. DJ messages me, I check it, seeing he messaged Freddy and he'll meet me there in 10. I sigh and sit at a bench while waiting. "Sorry I'm late, I was helping a mother with her kids to the main entrance." I heard Freddy say from behind me, "Its quiet alright Freddy, you're doing me a favor so I dont mind" I plaster a fake smile on my face as I turn around to look at him.

'Fuck! He's tall. Like 6'6 maybe 6'8. Damn those blue eyes are pretty. And I thought Dj was hot.'

I shake my head out of my thoughts and look at him again, seeing him smiled made me smile, for real this time. "Shall we?" He gestures to the doors and I simply nod, blushing like an idiot while he walks up to the doors and opens it for me. I walk through, mouthing a 'thank you' to him as I enter the bowling alley. I take my time looking around, all the neon lights and poster are bunny and bowling themed, so much different than the arcade. I spot the ice cream machince and hear Music Man's voice in my head 'My favorite treat has got to be ice cream, chocolate to be exact!' I smile softly and make a mental note to bring him some- if I get out alive. 

'No! Don't think like that! You'll be fine. You have Freddy. Wait. Where is he?'

I turn around to see that he's gone, my Faz watch goes off almost immediately.
Freddy: "Sorry Superstar, My battery is too low. I'll be there to check on you as soon as I can! You can do this! Don't forget to power him off first!
Sighing, I look around once again, not seeing him just yet but hearing the faint sounds of his footsteps.
'Fan-fucking-tastic. Now he gets to kill me! And in the privacy of his domain. Yay. I'm fucked!'

I quickly snap out of my thoughts as I not only hear the footsteps coming closer to me but see his shadow covering me. "Are you new here?" A somewhat deep, Australian accented voice comes from beside me, at a distance. 

'Shit! No excuses now. Just do it, then get the ice cream. And leave!'

I turn around but keep my head down and my eyes on his feet.
"S-Sorry no. I'm the Head Mechanic in the Arcade. I-I came to check o-on your-" He interrupts me. "Memory Chip? Yeah. Freddy told me. But what he didn't tell me was how pretty you'd be" He gently lifts my chin with his index finger, causing me to make eye contact with him.

'What the fuck?! Is he seriously flirting with me!?'
