*buzzing*

*the voice sounds as if through a static fog*

"… like maybe I should just accept it, accept him… It's not like anything will really happen if I say his name…"

*a deep hum, pleased perhaps*

"Mmm… One.. Small.. Step.. Closer…"

*echoed laughter*

*click*

"Alright you guys, I think I'm ready to do this…"

*his voice sounds normal again, as if nothing at all had transpired just a few seconds ago*

"It's been a few days of.. Just mulling over things, and… I feel ready? Gosh I've never felt this much resolve in my life really! Well, as myself at least, he was very set on things, normally.. Anyways, I'm as prepared as I'll ever be, I think.. I guess it's time to… To let him really into my life. Yeah. Allow him the chance…"

*inhale, exhale*

"It's…"

*grumbling*

"… Eggs Benedict!"

"Oh my fucking god, David. You can't do this to me."

*a sudden voice interjected, a voice you'd heard before so eloquent but now was dulled by the filter of his body's rasp*

*squeaking laughter*

"Oh my, o-oh my, my fucking voice, ack, heehee! He was so ready, ahah, but I just was like nope! Oh my goodness, oh, o-oh that was so funny, hokay, wooh!"

*a few more escaped giggles*

"William you don't have to be so stingy- holy fucking shit I actually said his name, wait, I wasn't ready, I wasn't ready!"

*the other voice grumbled, and you could almost feel him rolling his eyes*

"You have to tell them my whole name, you big buffoon."

"W-Well, I will when you get my name right! It's 'Dave' not that other thing with the 'i' and the second 'd', and oh gosh I'm talking to myself again, ughhh… This feels all embarrassing all of a s-sudden..!"

"How the fuck else are we supposed to communicate if not 'talking to yourself', as you put it? We'd like our listeners to know what is going on, right Dave?"

*the other voice dripped with malice, annoyance*

"Ohhhh… I guess… Oh hey, you said my name correctly, nice!"

*a few beats of silence*

"So… Are you going to… Say my name and all that, or must I pry it out of you?"

"That's what you really want huh? Hmm.. … Okay, but we'll do this in a, a formal sort of manner.. You've given me hell, yet when I really needed it you've been there, and.. You creep me out, and you're a horrible person on the inside and I know this for a fact because.. You're just an asshole, man… But I can't stay mad at you forever, and… So..

To whomever is listening, the other version of me, the one living inside of my head for these two years now.. His name is.. William.. Afton…"

*deep exhale, the pattering of fingers, anxious*

*the rate of his breath rose with the thickening silence*

"H-Hey.. William? Are you there, man? I mean obviously you're there, since there's nowhere for you to go…

He's.. He's gone quiet… I guess he.. I guess he got what he wanted… I guess he left! He must have left! Ohohoh, oh my goodness, he actually left, I don't really feel him around anymore!"

*an airy gasp, nearly a shriek*

"Ho-hoh, nope, no no no, definitely still here..!"

"Look in the mirror."

"W-What?"

"Look.. In.. The.. Mirror."

"Okay, okay, I'm going, I'm g-going..!"

*his voice grew more distant*

*suddenly, a scream*

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no! I'm not, you can't, no! Get away from me, go away!"

"Where the hell am I supposed to go? What did you expect to happen, huh? For me to leave?!"

"Yes! That's exactly what I wanted to happen! Because I still fucking hate you, you got that! Now you're like this, what the fuck am I supposed to do? You're going to have to follow me everywhere, oh, I can't even go outside again! Not ever!"

"S-Stop freaking out! You want me gone? Fine! Just fine! Be alone, with no one to guide you, no one to love you! I always fucking hated you just the same!"

*a sharp inhale, disbelief, shock*

"Where'd he, where did he… Well, good! You're gone then, stay that way!"

*strained breathing, rattling in his hollow chest as the first whimpers escaped him*

"G-Gone… Ohh, I feel like shit, faint, lightheaded… Ugh…

How am I gonna, how am I gonna explain this… He.. I guess he got more powerful..? Somehow, someway, he was.. He was real… He was really there, solid, vibrant, but outta the corner of my eye he was transparent.. So, it must've been an illusion? I guess..

And, he just.. Disappeared out of thin air so…

Oh gosh, o-oh gosh I made him hate me, he's actually gone..! He's actually gone… Now what am I going to do? Just, k-keep on living? Without him..? Yeah, yeah, that's what it's going to be… All I wanted, after all…

Why do I feel so fucking horrible then?"

*a small cry, almost like a bark of laughter*

"Why do I feel like sack ah shit then, huh? Huh? I hate him don't I..?

No, no no no, I don't, I can't! That's just like saying that I hate myself and oh gosh I hate myself so much..! M-Maybe I'm the asshole! Haha, how did I even think I was going to survive without him?! What the fuck is wrong with me?! If he's the one that always pulls me through, he's the reason I'm still alive after surviving his failure, trying to make it up to me, he's just trying to help me after he couldn't end himself and made me instead.. I'm just a goddamn accident, I'm the accident! A glitch in the system, he was supposed to die but I happened instead! And now he remains, just as a, a-a g-ghost in the code! In my code, in our code! A mutation in our DNA, but, but even if it may seem unwanted, it is still a part of me…

William.. You're still a part of me…"

*tired, heavy silence*

*a small lurch of static*

"… And you a part of me…"

*sudden click*


Sorry that this is so late! Ya boi William finally gets his name said, and then some arguing happens, and then he leaves but not really? Idk. Their relationship right now is like rubbing two sheets of sandpaper together.
