It was currently 12AM, Sam just having started his shift. His mind was currently wondering elsewhere, however.

"I still can't believe that Mari kissed me yesterday...it happened so fast and I'm still...confused on what to do."

He spun his head around to the door just as he heard footsteps approaching. A second later and Mari was stood at the door, smiling.

"Hey, hun. How's it going?"

Sam just slightly squirmed in his sight, something that she took notice of. He then coughed and started to speak.

"Hi, Mari. I'm alright. How were things here after I left?"

She shrugged and sat on her usual spot at the desk. "Eh, same old same old. Kids had fun and all. Lot of pizza was eaten. Just another day at Freddy Fazbears."

He chuckled. "Yeah, sounds about right."

"Yeah."

There was an awkward silence between the two for a solid minute before...

"Hey..."

"Hi"

They both stared and laughed as they talked at the same time. Sam spoke up before it could happen again. "Look, to cut to the chase and not make it anymore awkward than it already is, I'm confused about yesterday. The kiss and all."

Mari looked down and rubbed her head. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean..."

"I enjoyed it."

This caused her to shoot her head up fast to look at him, looking in wonder at what he just said.

"Wait...what?"

Sam was now smiling, something that Mari really had started to enjoy. "I enjoyed the kiss. Was nice. Haven't kissed anyone since my ex, haha. You were good. Was a little...surprising to say the least, but it was still nice."

Mari blushed, giggling to herself. "You're too sweet, honestly. I haven't kissed anyone before. Was a nice experience."

He kept smiling at her. "Well, it was pretty good for your first kiss, then. How long you felt like that towards me?"

She shrugged. "Honestly, I suppose since you started here, but it got really intense after those idiots tried to rob this place."

He nodded. He remembered that. Strange to think that was weeks ago.

"Ah. I must say, I never expected a robot to like me. Let alone you of all of them. But...I'm glad that you do."

She looked at him, puzzled. "You are? Why?"

He smiled. "Because you've been nothing but lovely to me, even when I was a child. And to be honest, I think I've been slowly gaining some feelings for you as well."

This surprised her, a big smile slowly forming on her face. "You do? Really?"

Sam nodded. "Of course. You're an amazing person."

That last bit nearly made her tear up (well, tear up oil, anyway). She lunged at him, tackiling him off of his chair and onto the floor. She kissed him again, only to pull away after a few seconds. She stared at him with a loving smile.

"You...you really don't know how happy that makes me to hear you say that."

She nuzzled his head with hers, making him smirk. "Oh, I have an idea of how happy it made you with how you just reacted."

Mari chuckled and got off of him, helping him up. Sam sat back down in his chair. However, this time, he noticed that Mari wasn't sitting down on the desk. He looked at her.

"Aren't you going to sit down where you usually do?"

She looked at him, bashfully, a blush slowly forming. "Erm, I was going to ask...is it okay with you if I...sit down on your lap?..."

He looked at her, puzzled. "Erm, what did you say?"

"I said, can I...s-sit on your l-lap?..."

This made him chuckle. "Of course you can, you don't have to ask, silly."

She smiled and sat down on his lap, making him huff for a second. She looked down at him with a concerned expression.

"Are you okay? I can get off if..."

Before she could finish, she suddenly felt a pair of arms wrap themselves around her slender waist, making her blush.

"No, you're staying with me."

She smiled warmly, snuggling up to him. "I'm so lucky to have met you. I really am."

Sam smiled, snuggling her. "Same to you, hun. But for now, I suppose I better actually get back to my work."

Mari giggled and let go, still sitting on his lap, looking at the tablet that he now had in his hands. "Sure, I'll watch with you."

A few hours had passed. Mari and Sam had watched the cameras, checked on everyone and talked quite a bit. It was currently 3AM. Sam looked at the clock in his office, looking startled.

"Jesus, It's already 3AM. Where the hell does the time go?"

Mari giggled, stood at the door. "I know, it's crazy how fast it goes when you're having fun."

He rolled his eyes. "It's only fun because of you guys. Mainly you."

She smiled. "You're so cute~"

Sam chuckled. "Says you. So, what do you want to do?"

Mari tapped her chin in thought, before smiling. "I want to go and talk to Mangle. About us."

Sam looked at her puzzingly. "Why specifically Mangle and not everyone at once?"

She went over to him and kissed him, making him blush. "Because, silly, I trust her more than anyone else here. Don't get me wrong, all of the other animatronics are my friends as well, but Mangle has always been here for me. Even when the others couldn't. The only other being that I trust more in this place than her is you."

Sam smiled at that and hugged her. "I trust you too. Alright. We'll talk to Mangle now, if you want."

Mari smiled, nuzzling him. "Let's go, hun."

They walked down the hallway together and opened the door slightly to Kid's Cove, peering in.

They saw that Mangle was currently sitting in Kid's Cove, looking at all of the drawings that the kids had done of her. She smiled. "So cute."

She then heard the door creak open, causing her to turn her head. To her surprise, it was Mari and Sam. She smiled at them, waving. "Oh, hello you two. What's up?"

Mari and Sam both looked at each other, smiling. Mari was the one to speak up first. "Considering you're one of my closest friends here, Mangle, I wanted to tell you first. But do me a favour and don't tell the others just yet, okay? I want to tell them when we're ready to."

Mangle looked confused, but nodded, telling her to carry on.

Mari took a deep breath, despite not needing to actually breath. "Me and Sam confessed our feelings for one another."

Mangle snapped her head between the two for a few seconds before a giant smile erupted on her face, causing her to hug Mari. "I knew you had it in you to tell him."

Sam looked at the two, feeling slightly awkward. Mangle noticed this and smiled at him. "Congratulations, hun. Mari's a complete sweetheart, but you know that already. Can I have a word with you in private, though?"

Sam looked at Mari. She shrugged. He then turned his attention to Mangle and smiled.

"Sure."

Mangle nodded and told him to follow her. They went outside of Kid's Cove into the hallway, leaving Mari to herself. Mangle closed the door and then glared at Sam, causing him to feel slightly nervous. "I know that you're a really nice guy, Sam. And I like you a lot. All of us do. Mari's like a sister to me and I know you would never hurt her, but let me just tell you what will happen if I'm wrong about you and you do indeed bring harm to her. I will literally hunt you down, rip out your eyes and then stuff you inside one of the many spare animatronic suits that we have here. Are we clear?"

Sam gulped, nodding nervously. "Yeah, sure Mangle. I wouldn't ever dream of hurting her."

Her expression softened, her cheery smile coming back. "I know you wouldn't. But still, she means a lot to me. Take care of her, okay?"

He nodded. "Of course."

She opened the door, letting him go in first. Mari sat up from the chair in the room, looking at them both. "So, what did you two talk about?"

Mangle looked at Sam and then smiled at Mari. "Nothing too important. Just letting him know how glad I am about you two. Right, Sam?"

Sam nodded, smiling. "Yeah."

Mari smiled, hugging both of them. "You two are amazing. Anyway Mangle, me and Sam should be getting back to the office. If you ever want to talk to us, feel free to pop by."

Mangle smiled. "Of course. Now get going, you lovebirds."

Mari rolled her eyes and walked outside. Sam followed behind, taking one last look at Mangle, who was still smiling at him and waving. He waved back. When he closed the door, Mari was staring at him. "What did you actually talk about?"

He gulped. "Just what Mangle said, really. Nothing too important."

She scanned his face with her eyes. She then smiled, walking back to the office. "If you say so, hun."

Sam sighed and walked back into the office with her.

"Remind me never to get on Mangle's bad side..."
