Taking a deep breath in, Foxy couldn't help but wonder if it would be one of his last. Of course, it was completely within reason – they had been adrift at sea for days, maybe weeks now – but only now did Foxy take the time to appreciate how far they had come.
The small dingy they rested in rocked back and forth peacefully in the waves, spraying sea salt on their faces. In his sleep, Bonnie twitched. Foxy's eyes flicked downward to watch the fitful expression on his face as he sought out more comfort from the bottom of the boat where he was curled. He had let him sleep; there was no reason to row, now was there. Even if they did spot land, it would be too late, no matter how hard they rowed. They had ran out of the little rations they had managed to pilfer awhile ago; they were too weak.
"Ngh," Bonnie writhed in his sleep again, whining pitifully. Poor lad hadn't had a peaceful night's rest since his eye was taken out. What a disgusting human that was. Foxy had enjoyed cutting their throat.
"Oy," Foxy rasped, reaching out a foot to tap his sleeping form, not having the energy to do much else. Startled from his sleep, Bonnie glanced feverishly around as if he were expecting them to be attacked. "No attack tonight, boy, but I decided I need you sharp in case there is one." It was a lousy excuse to keep him awake, but the bunny seemed to be grateful. Anything to get away from those nightmares, even if it meant being awake to deal with food and water deprivation.
"...I-it's kinda..." Bonnie trailed off, trailing his fingers over the bandages on half of his face as he stared up at the sky with his good eye. Swallowing, he tried again. "It's kinda...uh..."
"'S pretty," Foxy finished for him with a barking laugh, staring up at the moon as well. His friend gave a small chuckle to agree - anything to acknowledge he was still there, he was still alive, before quieting down again. They booth stayed like that for a long time, laying on their side of the boat, heads resting against the wooden edges.
"...W-were gonna die...out here, huh?" Bonnie spoke up again, and Foxy sighed, trying to work up enough saliva to like his lips. Instead, he settled on slapping his long tail on the bottom of the boat.
"...Yeah. Sorry, lad. Guess ya shoulda stayed with Fazbear 'n his crew. Wouldn' have ended up like...t-this just yet," Foxy rasped again, a bitter smile on his face. His voice used to sound so smooth, what had happened?
"N-no. I-i'm glad I came with you," he finally admitted, and although Foxy didn't mention it, he noticed a single tear drop down onto the deck below them. That was all he could manage in his dehydrated state. "...Remember when we stole about half of their ship before they noticed?"
"That was awesome," Foxy laughed, and Bonnie joined in with a few wheezes of his own.
"It was too bad Fred had to come in. We were handling them just fine until that point, huh?"
"Yeah," sighing, the fox and rabbit anthros were quiet again.
"...I'm scared," Bonnie said suddenly, his soft voice mixing well with the soothing waves. Foxy twitched at those words. At any other moment, had his former crew been there especially, he would have thrown him overboard for saying those words. A pirate had to be brave. But, seeing as how they were in the middle of nowhere, with no possible way anyone else could here the two of them, Foxy allowed a small tremor to run through his body as well.
"...Me too..." Lolling his head to the side to look at his crewmate the best he could, Bonnie seemingly got the message, and used the last of his strength to crawl over to his side of the boat, laying next to him. While their combined weight tipped the boat too far one way for comfort, it was fine, for now. It wasn't as if they would be conscious if their dingy did decide to capsize.
Closing their eyes, they let out a shuddered sigh in unison as more water sprayed over them.
This ship's going down.
All on account of the weather
And though we'll drown
There's no need to frown
Cause we're all going together
. . .
A/N: Yeah, pirate thing cuz I was listening to 'pirate music' (aka This ship's going down by voltaire)
