The Fazlife

Chapter One: "Freo"

Freddy Fazbear's Pizza;

Leo glanced nervously at the stage. Freddy, Chica, and Bonnie stared back at him, grins plastered to their faces. The lion shivered when his thoughts went to the events of the last four nights. He wished he'd never taken this job.

Leo sat down in his chair, ready for his shift to start. He sighed as the phone started to ring. He knew it would be some kind of mocking message, Phone Guy had died during yesterday's call. Like he predicted, it was just demonic garbling from Freddy Fazbear himself.

"Freddy..." He thought. Once his childhood hero, now his worst nightmare. The bear had yet to leave the stage during his shift, but the lion had run out of power a few times. Luckily, he'd been able to scrape by the bell. But tonight... Leo wasn't so sure he could pull it off.

He quickly pulled himself from his thoughts and checked the cameras. Freddy was the only one left on the stage, and Foxy was still behind the curtains. The lion was glad he'd pulled himself from his daydreaming when he did. If he hadn't, he'd probably already be dead.

Sounds of footsteps alerted Leo that someone was close. He checked the lights, and sure enough, Chica was at the window. He slammed the door.

"Hey there, Flight of Fright." Leo smirked when Chica rolled her eyes at the ridiculous nickname he'd given her. "Did I ever tell you the story of how a chicken tried to eat my foot when I was a cub?" Chica sighed and left, not wanting to live through such a boring story again.

Leo opened the door and checked the cameras again. Nothing had changed, except for the fact that Freddy was staring straight into the camera. Leo's heart skipped a beat while staring at the bear. His blue eyes hypnotized the lion, pulling him back into daydreams. The lion shook his head, trying to get back on track. He jumped when he turned on the light to see Bonnie leaning in.

"Hey! How's the best Bon doing?" Leo asked, closing the door. "You know, I once had some pet rabbits. Their names were-" Leo stopped when he realized the bunny had left. He opened the door, chuckling. "Didn't realize I was that boring..."

He checked the cameras again, hearing faint traces of humming. Obviously, Foxy was singing again. Leo wondered if he'd ever be able to hear Freddy sing again. He used to visit the restaurant just to hear the bear's majestic voice. Many kids had teased him for going to a place for little kids, but he'd always shrugged it off. The place had been worth it.

"Hey Foxy!" Leo shouted. "Your singing is great! Don't stop, please!" Immediately, the fox stopped singing. Leo frowned. "That's the opposite of what I wanted, but whatever."

Checking the cameras again, Leo discovered the fox had actually gotten into his stance to run. The lion quickly closed the door and waited for the fox to rush him. After a few bangs on the door, Leo opened the door and returned his attention to the cameras. He flipped through a few different cameras before noticing he was low on power.

"On no..." He said, pulling down the cameras.

To make matters worse, Bonnie and Chica chose that time to reappear at the doors. The lion closed them both, knowing his luck had finally run out. There was a great whooshing sound as the power ran out, and Leo was plunged into darkness.

The lion sat with bated breath as footsteps announced the arrival of Freddy. The bear's face started to glow as he played his infamous tune. The lion started to breath deeply, unwilling to accept the fact that it was all over.

"Freddy..." Leo said. "There's something I need to tell you before you do this." The lion gulped, regretting his decision already. "I just wanted you to know..."

Freddy tilted his head, waiting for the lion to finish his thought. Leo gulped again, tears rolling down his face.

"I love you..." Freddy's eyes widened, hearing those words. "I want to know how you feel about this, so... If you return these feelings, let me go. If you don't..." He took a second to wipe the tears from his eyes. "Continue..."

There was nothing except silence when Freddy's tune ended. Leo closed his eyes, fearing the worst. Heavy footsteps boomed around the lion. He took a deep breath, ready for the end. Suddenly, Freddy's tune started to play again...

"Is that coming from the kitchen?" Leo asked himself. Then, a chime rang throughout the building. Leo opened his eyes, surprised. He had lived!

The lion jumped out of his chair and sprinted towards the stage. All of the animatronics were back in their places. Bonnie and Chica glared at the lion while Freddy's gaze seemed softer. Leo could even see a hint of blush on his face. Smiling, the lion climbed onto the stage and hugged the bear.

"Thank you..." He said. Then, he leaned up and kissed the bear on the cheek. He smirked when the bear's blush became more evident. "See you tonight, Freddybear." Giggling, Leo jumped off of the stage and left the building.

"What was that?" Bonnie asked the blushing bear, flabbergasted. Freddy touched the spot where Leo's lips had met his skin.

"A kiss..." The bear said, blushing even more when he acknowledged that just happened. Chica giggled.

"It's about time..." She joked.

"That's enough!" Freddy shouted. "The show is going to start soon. We have work to do." The bear adjusted his bow-tie. Chica started chuckling while Bonnie looked away, a secret rage building in his heart...
