Sam was currently sat at his office. Two weeks had passed since the robbery incident. He had told Mr Fazbear the next day. While he wasn't too happy with the fact that a bunch of robbers managed to get in, he eventually calmed down and thanked Sam for getting them arrested. They all got a few years in jail, so it was a win for him and the others, really. Thankfully, nothing happened after the incident, so it was all over and done with in his book.

Mari was currently sat on the desk as per, smiling at him. They had spent a lot of time together in the past two weeks. Talking, walking around the pizzeria, talking and spending time with the others. It'd been really fun. He had noticed something strange about Mari in the past few days, though. He noticed that she'd been a lot more...intimate towards him. She had been intimate with him to some degree the entire time he'd been working here, but he felt as if it was just her teasing him. She obviously cared about him a lot before and he knew this from all she had said and done. She protected him from robbers for god's sake. But now, it felt a lot...stronger. Could she like him more than what he thought she did? Nah, he was being crazy. She's just teasing him, that's all. Yeah, totally.

As his thoughts were racing all over the place, she tapped him on the shoulder, waving her other hand in his face. "Hello, Earth to Sam? Are you alright?"

He shook his head and chuckled. "Yeah, sorry. Sorta zoned out for a second there. Anyway, what do you want to do today?"

She smiled and stood up, walking towards the door. "Well, there's some left over pizza that the cook's made but didn't end up serving. Should still be fine to eat. Want some?"

Sam nodded, rubbing his stomach. "Sure. Haven't eaten all day." And as if right on cue, his stomach grumbled.

Mari giggled as she walked towards the kitchen. "I can hear that. I'll be right back."

He checked the cameras as per, seeing the others waving to him, all doing their respective things. After a bit of checking the place, he put the tablet down and sighed, leaning back in his chair. "God, why does my brain have to be so complicated sometimes..."

"What did you say, hun?"

Sam jumped from his chair, noticing Mari in the doorway, holding a pizza box. She looked at him, concerned.

"You okay there?"

He nodded quickly, sitting back down, embarassed at his reaction. "Yeah, yeah, sorry. You just spooked me is all."

She sat down the pizza on the desk, giggling. "Awh, did I make you all scared? Poor baby~"

He blushed hard. "For fuck's sake, I hate it when she teases me like that!"

Shaking his head, he watched as she sat down on the desk next to the pizza, handing him a slice. He gave his thanks and bit into it. Was juicy and very tasty.

Mari watched him eat, smiling at the display. "So, what were you saying to yourself when I came back, sweetheart?"

This nearly caused him to choke on his pizza. Thankfully, he managed to avoid death by pizza and looked at her, blushing.

"Oh, it's nothing, don't worry about it."

She looked concerned. "Are you sure? If it's serious, you can tell me, you know."

Sam waved his hand. "Don't worry about it, honestly."

Before Mari could respond, the door opened, Mangle now standing there. "Hey guys! How's it going?"

Mari looked at her, an annoying expression on her face. "Mangle! Can you knock next time?"

She giggled, shaking her head. "Maybeeee. Just wanted to borrow you for something, Mari. Won't be long."

Mari sighed, nodding. She looked to Sam and smiled. "I won't be long, hun. We can continue our conversation then. Enjoy your pizza."

He nodded in thanks and smiled. "Thanks. Take care you two."

Mangle and Mari both nodded at him before closing the door, making him sigh.

"My brain really needs to shut up."

Mangle and Mari entered kid's cove, closing the door on the way in. Mari sat down and Mangle sat down next to her, holding her hand. "So, have you told him yet?"

She shook her head, sighing. "No, I haven't. I think he's probably noticed by now, but he's no doubt either not interested or too scared. I am still a robot, regardless of my upgrades."

Mangle hugged her, causing Mari to smile and snuggle into the hug. "Hey, don't say that. I know for a fact that he could never be scared of you. Not with how close you two have gotten."

Mari sighed and let go, still holding Mangle's hand. "I hope you're right. I haven't ever liked someone. It feels so...strange."

Mangle nodded, giggling. "I'm sure it does. But you're Mari. You can do it. I know you can. And anyway, you know I'll keep teasing you until you do it~"

Mari rolled her eyes, but smiled none the less. "You, teasing? Would have never guessed."

Mangle giggled, squeezing her hand. "Just be up front with him. I know that you're scared of ruining your friendship with him and hell, maybe that's why he isn't letting himself get too close to you. But you've got to take the risk. Otherwise, it'll eat you up not knowing if he returns the feelings or not. And if he doesn't, yes, it will hurt. But I don't think that'll stop you two from being friends."

Mari took a minute to collect her thoughts, looked up at her friend and smiled. "You're right. I'm going to make sure that I tell him. And regardless if he returns the feelings or not, I'll still love him. He's too precious to me to NOT love him. We've spent a lot of time together in these past few weeks and it's been the best time of my life."

Mangle smiled warmly, standing up and ushering her to the door. "You're too cute sometimes, Mari. Now go spend time with him. YOU decide when to tell him. Just do it when you're ready."

Mari smiled and hugged her. "No one is touching him. He's mine and I'll make sure he eventually realises it~"

Mangle giggled as well. "That's my girl." They let go of each other and said their goodbyes. Mangle smiled to herself.

"They'd make such a cute couple. I really do hope it'll work out in the end."

Sam was currently looking at the tablet, bored. Mari had been with mangle for about an hour, doing god knows what. It was getting close to 6AM. His shift would be over soon. He needed his bed.

More time went by until he finally heard his office door open, revealing Mari in the doorway. He smiled.

"Oh, Mari...it's you. Wondered when you were going to come back."

She smiled and closed the door, walking over to her usual spot on the desk and sitting down. Sam looked at her. "So, what did Mangle want?"

She looked away, blushing slightly. "Oh, nothing too important. Just teasing as usual."

Sam chuckled. "It's all she ever does. What was she teasing you about?"

Mari waved her hand and rolled her eyes. "She teases me because I spend so much time with you."

He smirked. "Ah. She's always doing it with me as well."

Mari giggled before sighing, causing Sam to look at her out of concern. "Sam...can I tell you something?"

He looked at her and nodded. "Sure, you can tell me anything. You know that by now, surely."

She smiled. "Well, I just wanted to say that I..."

Suddenly, his phone alarm went off. 6AM. He slapped his forehead. "Ah shit. I didn't realise it was already 6AM. I gotta go. Mari, I'm sorry, but can we contin..."

Before he could finish, she grabbed him and pinned him to the wall. He gasped in surprise, looking at her, a scared expression on his face. "Mari?! What are you do..."

He suddenly felt a warm sensation on his lips. A kiss.

Mari was kissing him.

Before he could even do anything or say anything, she pulled away, smiling before letting go of him and walking out of the door. She looked back, giggling. "I'll see you tomorrow, hun."

And with that, she disappeared into the hallway. Sam stood there a few moments, before a smile slowly started to creep itself onto his face.

"Damn...well, that happened."
