"Bones"

Freddy / Bonnie

Inter-BoC2

Canon, Friendship/Romance (Up to the reader to decide)


"What's on your mind, Freddy?"

Freddy jumped from his zoned out state, blinking a few times. He looked around the lounge room until he finally glanced to his right to see Red sitting on a small couch, right next to the one he was on himself. They exchanged a long, awkward silence before the younger bear puffed his cigar, snorting out smoke.

"W-what do you mean?" Freddy questioned, sounding slightly defensive. Red shrugged, leaning backwards on the furniture.

"You always laugh at the fish who shouts "my leg" on this show. You didn't even smile, something's wrong."

Freddy shook his head in disagreement, looking back at the television. Red shrugged, looking back at it as well.

Despite Freddy's protests, something was indeed wrong. Bonnie had only been reactivated two days ago, and Freddy was beginning to have anxiety attacks again. Bonnie had stated multiple times that he had forgiven him for his wrongs, but Freddy still wasn't so sure. Worry and dread filled his A.I. chip, making him jumpy.

And on top of it, his anger was returning. It was directed to himself for everything he had done, but he had already had a few mild verbal lash outs at the others. Keeping his feelings pent up messed with his emotions.

The Toys seemed mostly confused and worried, while Bonnie was becoming slightly standoffish. They all expressed their concern from time to time, but didn't know what else to do.

Freddy glanced at the clock, sighing out lowly. Standing up from the couch, he scratched at his bad arm, shaking his head.

"I'll be off to P&S, Red. I'm tired."

Red looked at the older bear, nodding in understanding. His gaze directed back towards the television, and his posture relaxed further.

"Mhmm. If you find Clyde, direct him here. Goodnight."

Freddy nodded, walking out of the lounge room to the hall. Turning the corner to get to the correct room, he stroked his bad arm again, feeling the empty spot where his exoskeleton had been. Feeling bored as he walked, he dug his fingers a bit deeper. They hit the bare endoskeleton, but they hit something else as well.

It clanked hollowly as it was jarred free, falling to the bottom of his arm. He let out a surprised, horrified gasp, his ears flattening. He knew damn well what it was.

Pulling his hand away from his arm, the object inside rattled as he moved it down to his side.

He gagged a bit.

He felt disgusting.

"Well, hello, Freddy~"

Jumping a bit at the sound of the effeminate voice, he looked up from his arm to see Clyde turn the corner. He swayed his 'hips' a bit as he walked, making Freddy wince. Clyde laughed in amusement.

"Calm down, I'm joking." The blue rabbit said, walking normally to the bear. "I save that for Red."

"Please tell me that's a joke, too." Freddy half-whined, his ears flat in disgust at the thought. He got no response from the rabbit on the topic, just a small scoff.

"Saw you looking at your arm, what's wrong?" The Toy questioned, glancing at the old animatronic's arm. Freddy tensed up and frowned, holding his arm tight and still.

"Nothing. Speaking of which, Red's looking for you." Freddy muttered, avoiding eye contact. The blue bunny found it odd, frowning a bit at Freddy's behavior. Either way, he kept his calm, cool and collected demeanor as he spoke.

"Coincidentally enough, Bonnie's looking for you as well. Such a sweetheart. It's a shame his face has been removed, I bet he was a looker. Y'know, like me." Clyde complimented the purple rabbit as well as himself, smiling. He began to walk away before giving Freddy a half-hearted wave without looking back. "Ciao, honey."

Freddy internally winced at Clyde's type of speech. It was horribly awkward to listen to. It wasn't exactly annoying, it was just something that made his fuel tank tense up with an uneasy feeling. Shaking it off, he trudged himself back to the P&S room.

Kicking the door open, he dragged himself inside. Going over to a corner, he sat down and leaned back, groaning softly. His head was throbbing for staring at the television for so long, he really needed to sleep.

"Hey, Fred!"

Freddy glanced up to the corner to find Bonnie, who was standing for once. The rabbit had basically been locked in a sitting position due to weakness ever since he had reactivated.

However, he seemed to be getting much better. He was quite active and he was rummaging around a box, looking for different items. Pulling out a handful of bolts and screws, he put them to his face, most likely eating them. The poor rabbit was having trouble eating due to lacking a mouth, but he had found a few ways to. He mostly relied on electricity instead of fuel, now.

"Hello, Bonnie." The bear said lowly, slouching against the wall. Bonnie stopped what he was doing to look at the bear, cocking his head. His broken ears flopped a bit in the process.

"What's wrong, bud? I thought you'd be happy to see my face again. Oh, wait." He laughed a bit after he was done speaking, only to let it die down after he noticed Freddy didn't react at all. Limping towards him, he sat down. A loud 'clang' emitted from the sound of the metal colliding with the linoleum floor.

"Nothing, Bonnie." Freddy spoke, turning his head away. Bonnie would have raised an eyebrow if he could, despite lacking a face and not even having eyebrows in the first place. Putting his remaining arm on the bear, he let out long, a staticy sigh.

"I know you better than that, you idiot." He half-spat, making the bear roll his eyes. The bunny promptly bapped his back, making him grunt and growl. "Tell me."

When he didn't get a response from the older animatronic, he bapped at his arm. The sound of rattling caught his attention, causing the red shine of his eye lights to glow brighter. Freddy tensed up, his ears flattening.

There was a quiet pause between them both. Bonnie's head tilted down in the direction of his arm before tilting back up to Freddy's face. They remained silent until Freddy moved his arm, causing it to rattle again.

"I thought they'd be gone by now." The bear whispered, looking down at his arm. Bonnie let out another sigh and re-positioned himself, grabbing the arm of his brother. After a bit of wiggling and removing loose, broken exoskeleton, he was able to remove the bone. They both stared at it in disgust and horror, both of their ears flat.

"I can still taste it." Freddy blurted out, making the bunny flinch. Bonnie gently brushed the bone off and hid it under a shelf, not sure what else to do with it.

"I-I can too, Fred."

"It's all my fault." The bear continued, a bit louder than before. He clenched his fists and looked at the rabbit frantically, twitching a bit. "I-If I had stopped him, Golden would still be here. The poor children would still be alive, probably with children of their own. We could have made their children happy."

"Freddy, how many times do I have to tell you?" Bonnie demanded, his ears jiggling as he moved. "That's what I wanted to talk to you about."

Freddy looked at the bunny, slightly shaky. His eyes narrowed at the purple animatronic.

"It isn't your fault, Freddy." Bonnie said, trying to relax the bear. There was a pause before he continued, sighing once again. "You didn't know what to do. We didn't know what to do. It wasn't in our programming to harm anybody. It still isn't. You know that."

Freddy relaxed a bit at his brother's words. He looked away and frowned, closing his eyes. Bonnie patted him gently.

"I know if you could go back in time and fix it, you would. It's not like you're happy it happened. You need to stop blaming yourself over this."

Freddy stared at him, nodding slowly. He had to admit; he felt quite a bit better. His heart still ached with doubt and guilt, but he didn't know what else to do about it. Tilting his head downwards, he relaxed, closing his eyes.

"A-alright, Bon. I'll try."

Bonnie would have smiled if he could. Nodding, he scooted a few inches away from Freddy and relaxed against the wall, turning off his own eye lights. Freddy leaned back next to him, staring at the inactive chicken in the room across from them.

"Think Chica will ever wake up?"

"I-I sure hope so, Fred."

And with that, they both went silent, not saying anything. They finally went into sleep mode after a while, too tired to do anything else.


Author's Note:

Heya, guys! Sorry for the late update. I know the chapter is short, but I'm kind of out of ideas. I really need help! Just don't say a pairing, but give me an idea to use it with as well! It helps a LOT.

Big thanks to Chillaid for beta reading, and thank you to everybody who reviewed! (I'd name you all separately, but I'm using Safari and it doesn't do copy and paste very well. Chrome's being a jerk for me, I couldn't even update the story yesterday because of it!)

Until next time, friends!
