Chapter Six

Mike laid on his bed as he watched his younger brother sleep on the sofa. Ever since last night Mike had tried everything to get his brother to stop with the heavy silent treatment. Next to the sofa Mike already had a bag of sour skittles waiting to be devoured, yet his attempt to bribe Koi with food hadn't worked. Neither had the dryer fresh blankets, or even the promise of paying for his comic con ticket.

"I forgot how sensitive he can be." Mike groaned as he stretched across the worn down mattress that was his bed. Looking around the small house Mike wondered if there was something he could get rid of just to make more room. Despite being left the house after their parents death the brothers didn't have much space, to make ends meet they had rented out the house while they stayed in the guest house in the back. It wasn't an idea situation but it payed most of their bills.

For the fifth time Mike tried to adjust himself in his bed, for whatever reason sleep was impossible. Throwing the blankets off of himself Mike walked over to Koi and pushed his brother to the wall. "Scoot-"

"Leave me alone." Koi growled

"No" Mike said smugly as he forced his arms around his brother's sides. "I'm cold and your warm, so good night."

Though Mike couldn't see it, Koi sent him a death glare. "There can only be one." Koi hissed "So get the fuck off my sofa."

"I bought it." Mike said in a playful tone.

Koi grumbled as he tried to get off the sofa only to be pulled back in. "Get off of me."

"Nope."

Mike wasn't often cuddly with his brother. He preferred to show his affection with light punches and the occasional cheeky remark. Yet whenever Koi was angry with him, which oddly enough rarely happened, cuddly seemed the only way that Koi could tolerate him.

For a while Koi tried to struggle out of Mike's grip, but after several futile attempts Koi gave up. It didn't take a genius to figure out which brother was the stronger of the two. While Mike wasn't terribly stocky his body was covered in well defined muscle. Every inch of Mike screamed "come at me bro." Koi on the other hand seemed almost dainty, Mike wasn't sure if it was because Koi had barely hit puberty or if Kio had inherited their mother physique. Down to his very finger tips Koi seemed to have soft features.

Their mother use to say that Mike was her noble little warrior and Koi was her prince.

However, Koi wasn't thinking anything along the lines of nobility at the moment when he thought of his brother. Though there was a ten year age gap between them Koi had always know that he was the more responsible one. Hell, when he was eight years old and their mother was on her death bed her last words to him where "take care of Mike, he needs you."

"Damn straight he needs me." Koi angrily thought to himself. After all it was Koi who made sure all their bill where paid on time, it was also Koi who made sure that the last two remaining Schmidt's didn't just eat fast food. It seemed that most of the brothers troubles hadn't come from their parents sudden death but rather Mike's inability to keep himself out of trouble. From bar fights to the inability to drive according to the speed limits Mike had nearly done it all. His record was really the only reason that Mike couldn't seem to get a job anywhere other than the deadly pizzeria. Yet if it was one thing Mike could count on was Koi clean up his messes.

While Mike had trouble holding his fist back during an argument, Koi always managed to make friends with anyone who wanted to make his life miserable. While Mike wanted to fight a cop, Koi would bargain with the same police officer and would exchange Mike's freedom for doing most of the police department's taxes.

"And how does he thank me?" Koi thought bitterly. "By being an asshole."

As the brothers drove to the pizzeria Mike knew that even if Koi hadn't forgiven him and the animatronics for their prank, Mike needed Foxy to at least not be angry at him. While Mike knew that Koi would never want Foxy to hurt him, Mike wasn't so sure that the animatronic fox would listen to him. There had only been two instances where Mike had witnessed Foxy's temper, once when Bonnie had mentioned the bite of 87, and another when the previous manager had thought of scrapping Foxy. Even then Mike had been terrified of Foxy's rage, but neither time was he the focus of the fox's anger.

"Hey Koi, how about once we get off of work we can go get those tea thingies you like so much." Mike asked hopefully, when silence was his reply he knew he was fairly fucked. "Really, not even boba is gonna work?"

"Not hungry" Koi replied angrily

"You can't eat tea."

Koi only rolled his eyes.

Mike pulled into the pizzeria's parking lot and sighed. After a month and a half of being away Mike really wanted to just get back into his old routine, he was a creature of habit and didn't like most changes. Yet he had always wanted Koi to join him, especially since some of the animatronics could get a little, clingy. At least if there was two of them the fazbear gang could divide their affection. Now Mike wasn't so certain that would be happening any time soon.

"Alright lets go."

"I don't want to." Koi grunted

Mike let out a deep breath before turning to his brother. "I dragged you into the car and I can drag you out." When Koi only sunk further into his seat Mike shrugged before getting out. Koi had attempted to keep his finger on the lock button only to have Mike open the door behind him and slap his hand away from the car lock. In a swift motion Mike swung Koi's door open, grabbed him by his shirt and promptly pulled him out of the car. Mike managed to toss the younger Schmidt over his shoulder with little effort and ignored his brothers weak struggle.

Koi continued to struggle until Mike opened the door of the restaurant, after that Koi knew there was no reason to struggle. However when Mike finally closed the door behind him and placed Koi down the younger Schmidt crumbled to the floor much like a wet rag.

"I will stay here and become one with the floor."

Mike took a long deep breath and squeezed the ridge between his eyes. "You know it's almost 12."

"Ya I know, now you can go have fun with all your ass hole friends." Koi said sarcastically. "I'm going to make friends with the floors, we haven't really acquainted ourselves quite yet."

Again Mike sighed, picking up his brother. "Come on, your going to to get to meet everyone, officially."

"Oh Joy"

"Come on Oi-"

"Don't call me that Mikey."

Mike smiled, happy to finally get a few normal words out of his brother. "Alright what do you want? You want to wait in the office or stay out here, I promise it's a lot less claustrophobic out here."

Koi grunted and made his way to the office, momentarily looking at pirates cove before plopping his behind in his favorite swivel seat. Koi spun around in the chair a few times trying to calm his nerves until he noticed something in the corner of his eyes.

"There's a shadow on the wall" Koi whispered to to himself. "stay calm, stay calm" The shadows began to get closer and Koi felt himself shiver, his immediate reaction was to slam his hand on the door button but found it to me missing. "There's a figure in the hall; stay calm, stay calm. Keep my wits and stay alive. " He looked down at the floor for a fraction of a second, only to look up at a large purple bunny.

"Hi there!" Bonnie said with a wide grin.

Koi tried not to jump back at the sight of the bunny but couldn't help himself. "Mr. Hop hop!"

Instantly Bonnie's smile fell off of his face, while Koi remembered that there was no longer a door between them. "It's Bonnie!" Bonnie said trying his best not to sound annoyed. "Come on you can say it with me, Bo-nn-ie."

Koi gave the rabbit a cold look before turning his chair away from the rabbit only to be met by the chicken. He had looked up to glare at her only to somehow find himself wrapped in her surprisingly warm arms. "Oh I'm so happy! We finally get to meet you in person, I thought we'd never get to see you. Now we can bake together, and you can finally have some pizza. You like pizza right?"

"Y-you're-crushing my ribs." Koi wheezed

"Oh sorry." Chica exclaimed "I'm just so happy!"

"Okay Chica, give the boy some air." A familiar voice called out. "I believe proper introductions are in order." Koi watched as Freddy stuck his hand out. "Freddy Fazbear, mascot of Freddy Fazbear's pizza."

Not wanting to possibly anger the bear Koi shook the bear's paw. "Um-Koi"

"I believe you've already meet Foxy, Chica and Bonnie."

Koi nodded, though he didn't see Foxy anywhere as he looked around the room. "Ya"

For what seemed like an eternity the four simply stood silently in the office until Mike popped in. "Hey, anyone want to maybe, leave the office?"

Koi shook his head but Bonnie jumped at the idea "Ya, lets go, this office can be awfully stuffy." He grabbed the swivel chair Koi sat in and rolled him into the dining hall. Koi tried to protest but when he tried it only came out as a strange little squeak, which Chica had found adorable.

"Your just too cute!" She cooed, the chicken animatronic lightly squeezed Koi's shoulders. "Your so tiny."

"Ya" Mike jerred "Little Oi is absolutely adorable.-"

The older Schmidt was cut off suddenly when Freddy put up his paw in front of him defensively. "Foxy" Freddy began suspiciously.

Koi peeked out to greet Foxy, only when he saw him he felt himself frozen in fear. In the middle of the hallway Foxy stood with both arms up, as if he was ready to attack. His eyes glowed red, and Koi knew he could hear growling from the fox animatronic.

"Foxy" Mike called out cautiously, "Buddy?"

"yer no friend o' mine." Foxy growled

"Foxy?" Koi called out nervously. "You okay?"

Foxy looked at Koi, his eyes returning to normal. "I wants ye t' leave th' lad alone. He's had enough o' yer shenanigans"

"I agree with Foxy" Koi said, seemingly forgetting that Foxy had nearly made him wet himself just moments ago. Koi hopped out of the chair and walked over to Foxy only to be grabbed by Bonnie.

"Hey, we're all real sorry about last night-"

"Nobody gives a damn about yer apologies." Foxy sneered, he pulled Koi towards him and began to retreat to his cove. "He wants t' come wit' me, don't ye lad."

Koi looked at the others and then back at Foxy, while he was still pretty angry at the animatronics and his brother, he wasn't sure if he felt all that safe with Foxy. "But he's trying to keep me safe." Koi thought to himself. "I'm going with Foxy." Koi said plainly leaving the rest behind as he entered the cove. He felt a little worried when Foxy slammed the door behind them and wondered if this was a good idea.

Foxy muttered something that Koi couldn't understand then looked up at him. "Sorry about that lad, I jus' didn' wants them t' tease ye anymore."

"It's alright, I was actually hoping I could avoid them for the rest of the night." Koi leaned against a few boxes, thankful that he had cleaned the cove recently. "So what do you want to do? I didn't bring any cards with me, or my phone…" Koi patted his body all over. "My phone"

"The magic music box?"

Koi nodded fairly "I know I had it on me-" He shut his eyes in anger. "I forgot it at the house." Koi wined. "I'm actually going to die here." He said sadly as he sank to the floor." It's death by boredom."

Foxy rolled his eye "thar no needs t' be so dramatic." Despite the fact that Foxy had planned on keeping Koi in his cove from now on Foxy had been expecting Koi to keep them both entertained. It was the nature of their relationship, Koi would bring something interesting and Foxy would just go along with whatever Koi was doing. He watched Koi for a while, noticing an evil grin on his face. "wha' are ye thinkin' lad?"

"Hey Foxy, you've ever gone outside of the pizzeria?"
