AN: Woohoo, another update after a day or two of posting chapter 10. I'm honestly excited to start writing on chapter 12 because it is where I will be introducing another of my favorite Fronnie OTPs, Toy Fronnie. :D
Also, an unnecessary announcement, my birthday is almost coming, 6th of April. Hooray because more responsibilities in life... Rip me.
Bonnie turned around, and there, standing in front of him was the one he dreaded to cross paths, the one that he had "foresaw" to meeting to one day. "I-It's you..." He said, flattening his ears back as if he was trying to look menacing to the taller, black furred rabbit in front of him, but in reality, he was afraid and anxious, he could even feel his heart beginning to pound in his chest as his anxiety slowly skyrocketed.
The taller rabbit chuckled flatly at the purple rabbit's attempt. "Hah, miss me? I figured you'd ran away from home. You sure are a smart rabbit." He remarked, though it was more like of a scoff rather.
Bonnie took a step back, gritting his teeth slightly as he felt his body beginning to shake. But was it out of fear? Or was it because he felt the strong urge to strike the taller rabbit? Despite that, he knew what the black rabbit was capable of and he didn't want to incur his wrath. Not in public. "Fuck you. I ran because you're a good for nothing beating asshole!" He hissed. He immediately flinched as the taller rabbit grabbed him the collar of his sweater and growled. "Watch your language, kid."
The purple rabbit whimpered, his body now visibly shaking in fear this time as he was lifted off from the floor. "M-Mom and dad had fail to see your nature... The moment you arrived, I knew you seemed suspicious." He said, glaring at the black rabbit hard with one eye. "Your so called "discpline"... I-I swear, I will fucking call the police on you soon." He yelped as the black rabbit slapped him on the face with his paw.
"You're really a smart ass, aren't you? Yet, you're weak. You're a coward. Such an easy victim to break also." The taller rabbit chuckled rather darkly. "You're coming back with me. I don't know about your parents whereabouts but you're stuck with me for awhile. And if you run away again, I swear I will-" He was quickly interrupted as he felt something, or someone pushing him away, dropping the purple rabbit.
"Lay your hands off from him!" Freddy growled, his pupils narrowed to slits as he glared menacingly at the taller rabbit. He held Bonnie protectively in his arms as he watched the black rabbit regaining his composure. "You must be that abuser Bonnie keeps talking about."
"And who the fuck are you? His guardian?" The black rabbit asked, his ears flattened back slightly, knowing that the bear seemed to gain the upper hand.
Freddy narrowed his eyes and pulled the purple rabbit closer against him. Luckily, it wasn't a busy day and the store seemed somewhat empty, so they weren't attracting much attention. "Guardian AND caretaker. I can see why Bonnie hates you. The way treat him. I don't understand why scums like you exist in this world." He hissed lowly at the other rabbit who seemed to be backing away. "Lay a paw on him and I won't hesitate to rip your pelt out." He threatened.
Growling lowly, the black furred rabbit glared hard at the bear before fleeing in defeat, not wanting to incur his wrath. Freddy sighed as the taller rabbit left and looked down at Bonnie who was shivering and whimpering in his arms, his face buried against his chest. "Bonnie, baby... Are you alright? Did he hurt you?" He asked softly, gently tilting his chin up to examine his face. He noticed a red paw mark on the right side of his face and growled. "That bastard..." He muttered before calming down.
The bear began to slowly caress his cheek with his paw, his touch gentle and soothing as if "healing" the mark, though it felt sore for the rabbit as he could feel him visibly flinching at the touch but he knew the bear was not harming him, rather, making the temporary "wound" feel better. After awhile, he withdrew his paw and proceeded to rub his cheek against his. "It's alright baby... I'm here, you're safe..." He whispered softly.
Bonnie whimpered and clung onto Freddy tightly, pressing his cheek against his as he continued to rub his cheek softly. "I-I knew it... I knew he would be here..." He muttered weakly. "I knew that I would stumble upon him again..."
Freddy's ears drooped and ran a paw gently through the fur on his head. "Shh... It's okay, Puffbun... You're safe with me." He whispered reassuringly. He hated seeing Bonnie like this. He hated seeing him cower like a lost child in his arms. It was like, he was beginning to break down. Now that he had seen his abuser in person, he figured he would ask the rabbit about what he knows once they return to their home. "Come now, let's take these clothes to the counter so we can proceed to our groceries." He said, keeping the rabbit close to him as they both headed to the cashier.
The bear had finished putting all the shopping bags into the backseat of the car seeing that it wasn't necessary to place them into the trunk. He had told the rabbit to go ahead and enter the vehicle as he noticed that he seemed to have grown tired. Normally, whenever they would go out shopping, Bonnie wouldn't easily become drowsy after they were done but the bear figured it was due to the confrontation with that taller black furred rabbit earlier. It was most likely due to shock and the panic attack.
As things were organized, Freddy entered into the driver seat and found the rabbit asleep. He could hear a few soft mumbles coming from him but they sounded incoherent. He reached over and ran his paw softly through his fur, sighing softly. He started up the vehicle and drove out of the parking lot.
While on their way home, Freddy took his phone out and attached it to a phone stand on top of the air conditioner vents. He dialed a number and enabled it on loudspeaker as it was ringing. He hoped that it wouldn't disturb Bonnie. It took a few moments for the number to be answered, then, a voice from the other end emitted from the device.
"Hello?"
"Hey Tobias." Freddy responded, smiling as he continued to drive, keeping his gaze fixated on the road.
"Oh, hey there Freddy! Been awhile since we've talked." The other bear replied from the other end, a chuckling coming from him. "What's up?"
The brown bear couldn't help but stifle a chuckle as well, happy that he was still in contact with his friend. "Indeed it has. Are you free tomorrow?" He asked.
"Yup! I'm guessing you want me to come over to your place?" Tobias asked.
Freddy looked over to Bonnie who was still fast asleep. He noticed his ears twitching slightly and frowned a little, knowing how sensitive the rabbit's ears were and how easily sometimes he could hear from afar. "Yeah, there's someone I want to introduce. He's uh, shy and gets easily nervous around new people." He answered, turning his attention back to the road as they were nearing their place.
"Ah, alright. So a small hangout in your place? Or do you have somewhere else in mind?" The other bear asked again.
"Well, we'll meet in my place and we'll have a small introduction then we can go somewhere else for the rest of the hangout." The brown bear answered.
"Alright, sounds good! I'll be bringing Blue over if you don't mind?" Tobias asked.
Freddy let out a chuckle. "Go ahead! Tomorrow morning, around 10 or 11." He responded, turning left as he was now in the driveway of his and Bonnie's home.
"Sure. I'll see you tomorrow then!"
Both of the males said their goodbyes and ended the call. Freddy looked over to the rabbit and gently shook him awake. "Bonnie, Bonnie baby... We're home." He said in a soft voice. The rabbit groaned and slowly opened his eye, yawning softly. He looked around, his vision adjusting as they had arrived. "H-How long was I asleep?" He asked, rubbing his eye sleepily.
"Through out the trip. I already called my friend and we'll be seeing him and his partner tomorrow morning." Freddy answered before getting out of the driver seat and heading over to the passenger seat to carry Bonnie into the house, knowing that he was still tired to stand.
"Y'know... You should do this more often." The rabbit murmured, nuzzling his face into the bear's chest as he yawned softly. "It's nice when you carry me around like this." He looked up at him.
Freddy chuckled fondly as he looked down at Bonnie, ruffling the fur on his head gently. "Don't worry, I will. Besides, I like carrying you like this." He responded, nuzzling his forehead softly. As the bear stepped inside their home, he settled the rabbit down onto the couch. "I'll go get the shopping bags in the car, I'll be right back." He went back outside and took out all the shopping bag from the backseat of the car and headed back inside the house.
The rabbit laid down on the couch and yawned as he watched the bear putting the groceries away into the kitchen, sorting each of the food, eggs, milk, fruits and vegetables in the refrigerator. As he was finished, he went upstairs and sorted each of their clothes in the wardrobe before heading back downstairs. He found Bonnie laying on the couch, looking at him as if he was silently asking him to come closer. Freddy chuckled and shook his head as he went over to the couch and lifted Bonnie in his arms before he sat down with him on his lap.
The rabbit immediately snuggled up to him as soon he was in the bear's arms and purred softly. He leaned his head into the touch as his partner began to stroke his fur and ears back, his eye slowly falling closed. "Bonnie? I want to ask you something..." He slowly opened his eye and looked up at the bear. "Mm?" He mumbled.
Freddy looked away and sighed a bit before looking back down at the rabbit. "I want to ask anything you know about your abuser." He responded, suddenly feeling guilty as Bonnie's expression shifted. "You... Don't have to answer if you don't want to, y'know..."
The rabbit shook his head. "No. I think it's time I should tell you everything I know about him." He took a deep breath, most likely to keep himself calm and collected. "His name is Shadow and well, you already know... I don't really know what his motives are, I guess just some typical abuser but... I remember hearing from him earlier, "easy to break" or something along that line... I'm not sure what he meant by that but..." He trailed off, shaking his head as he shrugged off the thought of what he was thinking about the quote before continuing.
"I'm not sure why mom and dad hired him to watch me over... I-I guess other caretakers were probably busy or something... In all honesty, I just want him gone... I want him to leave me alone but I know I'm not safe if he's still out there, coming after me... It's like... He's some kind of criminal..." He whimpered and hid his face against Freddy's chest, his body shaking slightly. "I-I just w-want to live peacefully..."
The bear's ears drooped and pulled Bonnie closer in his arms, feeling guilty for asking the question. "Shh... Easy there Bonnie, it's alright..." He whispered, running his paw softly through the fur on his head. "I'm so sorry for asking..."
Bonnie shook his head. "N-No... It's alright, you deserve to know..." He murmured, looking up at him, smiling at him a bit.
Freddy smiled back. "Alright, Puffbun." He murmured, leaning down to nuzzle his forehead softly. Though, he still felt bad because he knew the rabbit was still recovering from the encounter with the black furred rabbit from earlier. He knew his partner was still shaken up from the incident. "I think you should get some rest, I know you're still shaken from your encounter with him."
Bonnie wanted to protest, afraid that he would have nightmares, but knowing Freddy, the bear would never leave his side. Indeed he was still tired, like his energy was still drained from the anxiety attack earlier. Without saying anything else, the rabbit nodded and lay his head against the bear's chest. He grew drowsy as his lover began to hum a lullaby. Not only it soothed him, but it made him sleepy. His eye fluttered closed as he slowly drifted off.
Freddy looked at the rabbit fondly as he was fast asleep. "Rest well, Puffbun..." He whispered softly as he held him close. He knew Bonnie would've protest knowing how stubborn he can be at times, but he found it cute. He continued the petting motion over his head, warding off the nightmares that would disrupt his partner's sleep as he sat still on the couch, not wanting to leave him.
