Chereads / The daisy / Chapter 23 - Chapter 21

Chapter 23 - Chapter 21

Bonnie

I've been staring at this picture for... well, I actually can't remember what time Chica gave it to me and I got here to enjoy it. I had never seen Freddy this close, and feeling good instead of having my heart in my throat about to throw it up. How could it be possible that Freddy acted like stripper? I know he can sound serious just like the way he works as well, but in that moment he seemed to be other animatronic; somehow he looked kind of cu... What am I talking about? Why do I say that? Am I really saying this to Freddy? I don't even think about the words, they just come out from my mouth until I realize who I'm talking about. While I'm still wondering, I grabbed the picture with my both hands and, with my index finger; I rubbed Freddy's face and chest.

Freddy... tell me why I feel like this, tell me why you make me feel so many thing in front of you, tell me why I ran away when I hugged you, tell me why I blush, tell me please. I lied down on my bed looking at the ceiling with the picture in my chest. Chica asked me a lot of things when I fled to the kitchen. She asked me if I like Freddy, that question felt like a stake into my heart, making it stops, then I recovered my mind and I said no. But what if I really like Freddy? I don't know whether if it's right or it could be possible; I remember a little advice that Frog told me once, which is 'never lie to myself, if I like something I mustn't hide it, also to respect the features of everybody, including mine'. Am I like that? Do I like Freddy? I wouldn't like anyone to think that I'm a weird male robot that likes other male animatronics, or just to think what Frog and Hippo would think about it.

"Hi, guys!" I said waving to Frog and Hippo while walking in the restaurant.

"Bonnie!" they said joyfully, "it's so great to see you!"

"Bonnie, how have you been? Tell us," Frog said.

"How was your life in Fazbear's?" Hippo said, "Did you bring me something?"

"I'm very happy to see you again, guys!" I said while hugging him. "But actually, I want you to know someone."

"Ohh... So you're introducing us the fortunate girl one, huh?" Hippo said.

"Bonnie, you have a girlfriend?" Frog asked.

"Let's see if this is a good one for our pal" Hippo said.

I went back to the spot they were.

"Guys, this is Freddy," I said blushed.

"Hello, glad to meet you, Freddy!" Frog said.

"What's up, man?" Hippo said while giving him a high five.

A few seconds of silence were all around, until I spoke up.

"He is my boyfriend," I said even more blushed while Freddy smiled to them.

Frog and Hippo made an expression which I never met on them, a rejecting and awful one, like what they were watching was an abomination, not even for seeing their friend happy. Their eyes turned black and cold, like if I saw them, I would die. Why are they doing that?

"Bonnie, what's going on?" Freddy asked.

I feel like I can't breathe, I can't speak, everything is coming down. I'm practically dying. What's happening!?

I think showing myself wouldn't be the right thing, however, despite the fact that I thought what my friends would think if I tell them that I'm gay, I also thought about what Chica would think, and no matter how much I put an angry face of hers, I can't see it, I feel like I only can count with Chica, the fact that she gives me the picture of Freddy makes me think that she's on my side, and well... she probably already knows about my feelings to Freddy, I wasn't so good to hide it from her. I would need to talk more about this with Chica, it seems that she won't judge me for what I did, or I do or I will do. I better hide this picture. As I opened the first drawer to keep it inside, I saw something very important: where is my daisy? I put it in here, where is it? It cannot be, I need it to know if this Freddy is that Freddy, beside that it's such an amazing gift. I was searching under my bed, behind my wardrobe, in the bathroom, underneath the furniture etc. I couldn't find it, I thought I really lost it, the last clue I had to find that cute little bear is lost, now I will never know the truth. I was losing my nerve, but then I decided to calm down and breathe deeply so I won't pass out.

"Bonnie?" Freddy said while knocking on my door, "are you there?"

"Uh, yeah, I'm here," I quickly replied.

"Can I come in?"

"Sure, come in."

Freddy walked in with his fist on his back, closing the door behind him.

"You feel better?" he asked.

"Yeah, sure, everything is ok, why you ask?" I said quickly. Calm down, jerk!

"Well, when we were in the stage you hugged me, and then you ran away to the kitchen," he said frowning.

"Oh, that, that's right... I had already forgotten it," I said faking a laugh.

"So... You ok?" he asked getting closer to me.

Unfortunately I could feel the blush coming up.

"Yeah, I just came here to... rest some time... I guess the rehearsal made me feel tired," I said smirking.

"Oh, well... I think it would've been better if you would've told me, so I would let you go,"

"Yeah, right? Why I didn't think so?" I said closing my eyes and blushing.

"Well... don't worry about that, I understand these are your first days, and you don't know some things."

"Thanks," I said quietly.

We kept silent for a while, until Freddy told me something.

"Hey."

"Huh?"

"Can I talk to you now?" He asked me lower.

"Sure. Wanna sit?" I pointed the bed for us to sit on the edge.

"Thanks," he said while we both sat down.

Freddy put his hands together like he was holding an egg in his palms, while he was looking at it.

"Listen, Bonnie, in this job I'm used to be more serious than the way you've seen me," he was telling, looking at me and sometimes looking back at his hands, "sometimes I leave my body and I start to act weird, but in this case I wanted to be more hilarious so I could prove to you that this place isn't that bad; you must work hardly, but you also have to learn to have fun, and I also wanted you to know the whole crew."

"Yes," I said listening carefully his whole speech.

"And it's not easy for me to keep this restaurant going, since the day I got here, things have quite changed: how the restaurant looks like, the rules, the prices, the children, the employees, etc., everything keeps changing in this place, and... sometimes I wish for a partner who I can share my daily life with."

I started to blush when he talked about a partner.

"Uh-huh?" I said blushed.

"And, look, I haven't thought about whom I want my partner to be, but... what I really wish, is that this animatronic were one animatronic that I knew for years, almost since the day I was born, you know what I mean?"

"I think so," I said easily.

"And that makes me ask you, Bon..." he said getting his fists closer to my thighs.

Oh my Gosh, I feel so red now, that doesn't sound like he's about to ask me to be his partner, he just met me yesterday, and he also called me 'Bon' again! I feel like the air can't reach my lungs, but it's not an uncomfortable feeling, but a pleasant one, oddly pleasant.

"What is it?" I asked weakly while looking at his fists.

"Uhh," He stopped moving his hand and pulled them back to him, while looking at me. "You... Are you ok? Am I bothering you?"

"No, no, no, it's just... it's kind of hot in here," I said quickly.

"Oh, ok." He stretched his arms again, "Bon, I'd like to ask you... Did I was the one who gave you this daisy?"

Freddy opened up his fists and I could see the daisy he gave me when we were kids.
