You started your shift as usual. You walked in, past the animatronics and to your office. However, the curtain on Pirate's Cove was completely open. Foxy was missing. You quickly looked around, To the stage, down the hall and to the parts and service door. You hope he was just being repaired and wasn't lurking around earlier than usual. You enter your office and switch on the recorded message. You grab your tablet and, only when you go to sit down do you realise there's a fox in your chair. You jump back. "W- What are you doing in here?!" You manage to blurt out. "Oh, just couldn't help myself. I wanted to see you a little earlier, so we had some alone time~" Foxy often shamelessly flirted with You, but every single time he'd catch You off guard and You'd get all flustered. "Y- You need to go back to Pirate's C- Cove, Foxy. You're not supposed to be active until later." You mumbled, trying to hide your blush. "What, you don't like my company?" He asks, pressuring You into a little panic. "N- No, it's not that, It's just that I don't really like being w- watched while I work..." You made up a lie, picking your words very carefully. "Well, I'll be back tonight. Don't miss me too much~" And with that, He left for Pirate's Cove. You let out a relieved sigh and sit down, watching the bots through the cameras. That's when You notice Freddy is missing. "Oh, come ON!" You think, frantically searching. "He has a thing for you, you know." A deeper, unfortunately familiar voice says. Freddy was leaning against the door frame, preventing You from closing it. "He likes you, (Y/N). It would do you some good to notice that. I've told him time and time again that the boss would dismantle him if he ever found out, but he's persistent. He's never been like this with someone. Put him down gently, if you're planning to ever break the news to him." Freddy sighs before leaving, letting You go free for this night. You guess that the others will have been warned to leave You, as long as Foxy has feelings for You. And You are correct, as not a single bot leaves their place for the rest of the night. Except one.

~·Later·~

Pirate's Cove's curtains once again lay wide open, a sneaky red fox missing from inside. But You don't notice until there was a tap on Your shoulder. You jump in fright, not expecting anyone else to be in Your office. "O- Oh, Foxy. It's just you." You put down your tablet and give him Your attention. "Forget I was coming, or has time been painfully slow since the start of your shift?" He ruffles Your hair. "W- Well, tonight's been uneventful, So I guess things have been a little slower..." You mumble, smiling up at him. "Look, (Y/N). There's been something I want to tell you for a little while now. I love you. I have since you started here. Freddy's told me not to get attached, but I can't help myself. Do... Do you love me?" He admits his love to You and You get a new feeling. A warm, comforting feeling. When Freddy had said it, it didn't really set in. But hearing the words from the fluffy fox himself made You realise. Your crush liked You back for once. "Y- Yes, Foxy, I do!" You say, jumping up from Your chair and holding onto him tightly. He does the same. You notice that he's warm, even for a machine made of cold steel, and there's a ticking sound in his chest, like a mechanical heartbeat. You wanted to hold onto him forever.

A/N: Another One Shot out! I had a spark of creativity with this one, so I managed to get it out in two days.
