"Hey Jack wait up! I haven't gotten the chance to talk to you in weeks!" Hope said running up to her friend.
Jack turned around, "Hey Hope, what's up?"
"I heard some rumors about you… I just figured I would ask the source, but it's been so hard to get ahold of you lately! What have you been up to?"
"Uh, nothing much." Jack said nervously thinking about the past two weeks where he had spent each night going farther and farther with Bonnie. If he was lucky he would get to go all the way with him today.
"Hmmm. It's just I heard you were... involved with Bonnie. Thats not true right? I mean him and Freddy only broke up a few weeks ago!" Hope said, desperately hoping that what the Alliance said was a lie.
"What if I am?" Jack said defensively, "Bonnie and Freddy aren't a couple anymore. Freddy threw him away with his crap about having a kid. I would never push that on my Bonnie!"
"Jack it wasn't Freddy's fault! He has medical issue! How could you do that?" Hope said frustrated.
"Whatever his reason is I don't care! Bonnie is mine now! Freddy doesn't deserve someone as great as Bonnie! So leave me alone and go fuck the lesbians in the kitchen or whatever you do in there all the time. Oh yeah I forgot. You 'help' Goldie right? Yeah I'm sure you 'help' him a whole whole lot. Leave me alone and leave Bonnie alone. And I'll leave you alone." Jack said turning and storming off.
Hope stood in the middle of the parking lot staring at Jack as he walked away. She didn't mean to tick him off, but he had no right to act that way. She could feel the anger building up. She closed her eyes and counted to ten, something Goldie had taught her, and walked into the restaurant.
The day was long and mundane for Jack. Well, it wasn't completely fine. The thing with Hope this morning wasn't pleasant. Maybe he was too harsh on her. Though he wasn't all heartbroken about it. Bonnie was his now, right? No way he would leave him and go back to Freddy. But maybe he might…
He pushed the doubt out of his mind when he saw Bonnie coming towards him. The dinner rush had just ended, and there wasn't anyone in need of service. Even if there was, the waiters and waitresses on duty wouldn't mind picking up a few tables.
"Hey there babe." Bonnie said, walking up to Jack, giving him a hug and a peck on the cheek.
"Hey, what's up?" Jack said. Mentally, he was waiting desperately in anticipation for what Bonnie might say. Hopefully it meant what he was longing for.
"Well, I was hoping we could go a little further right now, if you catch my drift."
"Oh! I don't see a problem with it, let's go."
A happy smirk appeared on Bonnie's face, clearly satisfied with the answer. The two quickly joined hands, and in a jog, made it to the Supply Closet. As soon as the door was shut, the two started to kiss fiercely.
Jack paused for a moment and Bonnie was confused.
"Are you ok with doing this?" Bonnie asked. "We don't have to do this if you're not ready."
"No I'm ready!" Jack said, eager to keep things moving. "It's just that… did you bring…"
"Bring what?"
"Protection."
"Oh! That. We're pretty covered on that."
Bonnie then went over to a nearby shelf and moved some boxes around. He pulled out what looked to be a box of cleaning pads.
"That's not what I meant." Jack said.
Bonnie laughed. "Look inside."
Peeking into the box, Jack found exactly what he thought would be in there.
"Alright, let's do this." Jack said, fishing out a packet.
Hope sighed as she got ready to go home after a long day. As she neared the door Carrie and Toni jumped out and said in unison, "You're going to miss the meeting!" Then proceeded to drag her towards the party room.
She fell into a chair when Carrie and Toni let go and she couldn't help but laugh. She had a long, stressful day, and if anything, she knew that the girls could always make her laugh.
"Okay so first order of business. Who wants some Diet Mountain Dew?!" Carrie said handing out bottles of the beverage.
"So Hope…" Mike said seriously.
Toni jumped in, "What is the situation with Goldie!?" She said in a frustrated tone.
"Yeah!" Carrie said excitedly, "He said he loves you! Why haven't you been seeing him?"
"I can make it easier for you to be in the kitchen if that's the problem." Mangle said.
Hope blushed a deep shade of red and sunk lower in her chair as if trying to hide.
"You can't get out of this Honey." Mangle said, "The alliance wants an answer and we will get it."
"Plus i just gave you the best drink ever!" Carrie said as if that was incentive to spill.
"C'mon Hope!" Toni said, Bouncing slightly in her chair. "Do you not love him back?"
"No!" Hope shouted defensively.
"So she does love him!" Mike exclaimed as if he had just made a big scientific breakthrough.
Hope tried her best to hide, but there was no way out of this. How to explain what was happening though? She loved Goldie. She really did, but what Chica said, the kiss, the unexpected surprise of Goldie kissing her, and now the problems with Jack. It had been two weeks since that moment in the kitchen, but she just kept getting more and more nervous about it.
"I...Yeah… I like him I guess." Hope said nervously. She didn't want to say she loved him. The first person who should hear her say that was Goldie himself. Yet, when she had the chance she didn't.
"Why did you run out when he said he loved you then!" Toni asked, exasperated.
Hope flashed back to those moments after the kiss.
"I love you." Goldie said, looking at Hope as if she was the most perfect thing in the world.
Hope could feel the happiness and love blooming in her chest at the sound of those words. She wanted to say it back, but what if she hurt him? Chica had warned her that Goldie was fragile.
Hope looked at Goldie, trying to formulate some response, but try as she might she couldn't. The panic overrode the happiness she was feeling and only got worse as she saw the glow of happiness slip out of Goldie's eyes as she continued to stand silently.
She took one last look at him, mumbled, "I'm sorry," And ran out of the building, tears streaking her face.
"I…. I couldn't." Hope said, tears forming in her eyes again. She looked at her friends in the Alliance and couldn't hold it back anymore. She cried and poured out her feelings for Goldie, and why she couldn't tell him.
"Sweetie…" Mangle said gently resting a hand on her arm.
"It's not as scary to say those words as you think Hope." Mike said gently, trying to calm her down.
"Hey now…" Toni said gently, "Don't get upset. I understand what you feel. Me and Carrie had a beginning too. I honestly wasn't always so outgoing. Little C here broke through a really thick shell. You know how excitable she is, she was ready to say it long before I was."
"Yeah," Carrie said her usually loud voice now much quieter, "I told Toni I loved her after what? A week?" Toni nodded, smiling. "And she looked at me as if I told her I was a four headed chicken. She had a similar reaction to you, and of course I was heart broken at first, but the thing is, with love you gotta be willing to wait. And boy was it worth it! I got the best, most beautiful, sexiest little bunny a girl could ask for!" Carrie finished as she nuzzled into Toni.
Hope smiled. If Carrie and Toni had a similiar problem and they were still perfectly happy, then maybe Goldie and her could make things work. There was still one problem though…
"What about Chica?" Hope said nervously.
"Hope, " Mike said calmly, "Do you think Goldie loves you like he says he does?" Hope nodded quickly. "Then even if you do manage to hurt him it will be okay. Love always comes with risk of getting hurt. And if he loves you enough to say that, even after the things Chica went through in the name of love, then I think he knows that." Mike smiled at Hope, then looked towards Mangle who gave a nod of approval.
"You guys may be really weird, and ridiculous sometimes with your meddling in relationships, but sometimes you know just the right things to say. Hope hugged each of them and smiled, giggling as the conversation moved to the topic of Frank not being a bottom.
"I swear that boy is meant to bottom!" Toni said in exaggerated frustration.
All the alliance members laughed as the conversation went in a lighter direction.
"Wow." Jack said as he walked out of the restaurant. "That was…"
"Amazing? Exhilarating?" Bonnie said.
"All of the above."
"Yeah, the first time I had control, it was a great time."
"Why don't we do it again?"
"What do you mean? We're done for the day."
"Not in the Supply Closet! At my place. We could, you know, change roles. It's been awhile since I've gotten anything."
"Oh! Yeah. Why don't we?"
"Great! Let's go now."
"Wait, what about my car?"
"Follow me."
The two waiters then got into their separate vehicles. Once Bonnie was ready, Jack began to drive off, Bonnie close behind. It wasn't long until the two were back at Jack's apartment complex, and headed up in the elevator, lips locked.
"Wait." Bonnie said. "Don't you have a roommate?"
"Not anymore." Jack stated. "He moved out a week ago to his girlfriend's apartment. They've been talking about doing it for a few months now, and he finally went through with it."
"Okay. I just wanted to make sure so things didn't get… awkward."
"Trust me, all that will be going on in the apartment will be you and me."
With a laugh from Bonnie, they reached fifth floor, where Jack's apartment is located. The two got out and went down the hall. Once they got to Jack's apartment, he unlocked it, and they headed straight for the bedroom.
Hope stood by the door to the kitchen trying to muster up the courage to go in and say something to Goldie. Just as she was about to push the door open it swung open and knocked her down.
"I am so sorry!" Goldie said rushing to her side and checking her over, "Are you okay? Are you hurt? I'm so sorry!" Goldie helped Hope to her feet and led her to a chair in the back of the kitchen.
"I'm okay Goldie," Hope said giggling. She looked up at him and tried to smile, but she faltered a bit when she saw the sadness in his eyes. "I know that I haven't been here in a while…"
"Two weeks…" Goldie whispered quietly.
"I just…" Hope sighed trying to gather her thoughts, "I was scared."
"What?" Goldie said confused.
"I was afraid that I would hurt you, or that I wouldn't be a good girlfriend…" Hope said tears forming in her eyes.
"No. No, no, no. Oh Hope, you silly silly girl." Goldie said kneeling down and wiping away the tears that were starting to run down her cheeks.
"I love you Goldie." Hope whispered quietly.
"I love you too, Hope" Goldie replied wrapping his arms around her and giving her a gentle kiss.
The next day went along more of the same for Jack. The only thing that had made him sad was that he didn't see Bonnie all day, since they were so busy. However, he did run into the last person he wanted to see.
Freddy.
He had waved him over, as the two had made eye contact, but Jack wasn't thrilled. Granted this was the only lull in service they had all day, and the dinner rush was in a few hours, but he didn't want to spend it talking to Freddy.
"Hey Freddy!" Jack said, trying to be as convincing as possible, "What's going on?"
"Well I think I'm going to man up." Freddy said with a sigh. "I've been thinking of what I am going to tell Bonnie, to apologize. I don't expect anything from it, but I would rather explain myself than continue with this… this…"
Freddy began to trail off and Jack could tell that he was biting back tears.
"Whoa." Jack thought. "He's really sad about this. If I knew he was feeling like this, then I wouldn't have even let Bonnie in."
Jack then felt himself fighting back tears of guilt as Freddy had recomposed himself.
"Are you alright?" Freddy said, noticing how Jack's face was.
"Y-yeah." Jack said. "I think it's a good idea, apologizing to Bonnie. He has been pretty sad himself too. Explaining yourself would be a great way to go. Actually, why don't you go to him now? I can cover both of your tables if anyone comes in."
"You think so? I'll go! Thanks for covering the tables Jack."
"No problem."
Though as Freddy began to walk away, Jack couldn't help but feel he said the wrong thing. It was the right thing to say, but Jack wasn't convinced that Bonnie would stay pure. Jack shook his head. Bonnie was furious at Freddy! There's no way that he would go back to him after these weeks so easily, right?
Right?
That was hours ago. Jack was livid. Where the hell could those two be? He had an answer in his mind, but he ignored it. Better get through this part of the shift. Sucks that it is the dinner rush, and it is packed more than usual. There's even waiting going on! Honestly, this place's food isn't even that good, and waiting seems a bit dedicated.
Stressed, Jack was practically flying. He had to cover three sections of tables, and thankfully everyone was nice about it. They were short staffed too. Some of the staff went home early, and Bonnie and Freddy would have been a help.
However, the shift went pretty smoothly. Sighing, Jack headed towards the Supply Closet to get some cleaning supplies to clean up the already bussed tables. As he neared it, he heard rough noises, grunting, and some moaning.
"No." Jack thought to himself. "It can't be. Maybe I'm just imagining it."
But as he got closer, and had his hand inches from the handle he heard Bonnie's voice call out,
"FREDDY!" in complete ecstasy.
His hand froze, and in fact, his whole body froze. His body then started to shake uncontrollably, and his eyes began to water. When he had the strength, he bolted down the hallway at lighting speeds.
"No. No. No. No. No." was all he could think. The betrayal and loneliness he began to feel started to prod his thoughts. Bonnie was his lover. No, Freddy's lover. Bonnie was his best friend. Not anymore.
Essentially, he had no one now. Hope seemed mad at him for dating Bonnie for these past few weeks, so what would she think about him now? Laugh in his face. But she has been his best friend for years, so she would be there for him right? Not now it seemed.
There was one person at Freddy's who cared about him enough though. Jeremy. The two have bonded over the past few weeks, and he is all Jack has at the moment.
Dashing into the security office, he threw his arms around Jeremy in the chair.
"Jack, what happened? Why are you crying?" Jeremy asked in concern, noticing Jack's tear streaked face.
All Jack could do was sob. He didn't feel in control. Jeremy's touch was comforting.
Jeremy was going to ask something again, but Jack pressed his lips against his. In a few moments, he backed off, feeling flustered. He regretted doing that. Though Jeremy was the only thing that seemed stable in his life. Did he just blow it?
His received his answer when Jeremy's lips found his again. Wait. What?
When he finished, Jack asked, voice shaky from crying, "Y-you aren't a-angry that I k-kissed you?"
Jeremy smiled. "Why would I be?"
"B-because… i-it would r-ruin our f-friends-ship."
"It wouldn't and it didn't. Actually…"
"What?"
"Actually, I have had a crush on you since you started. Then I got to know you, and even though you have a bit of a rough exterior, once you get close to people, you're very kind and sweet."
Jack then looked Jeremy in the eyes. His face was as red as a beet, and eyes that had the most sincere intentions. Looking at him now, he was in fact, really cute. His smile, those eyes, the hair. Plus, he was putting up with him in this state, and not complaining.
"To be honest," Jack struggled to get out, "I've liked you since day one too. I wasn't sure then, but I got to know you and you're the nicest person I've ever met. Not to mention the cutest too."
Jeremy chuckled. "Honestly?"
"Honestly."
After that, the two sat silently in the embrace. However, Jeremy then started to kiss Jack again, more passionately than before. Things were moving fast, almost a blur. First, Jack had his shirt off. Then Jeremy. Pretty soon the two were down to their underwear, with nothing left to do but strip themselves of that, and go to the point it took Jack weeks to get to with Bonnie.
In an instant, the two had not a lick of clothing on.
Well after closing, Jack was finally leaving. The encounter with Jeremy left him feeling as if he was floating on a cloud. Especially the goodbye kiss, so tender.
Jack hardly noticed that it was indeed after closing, and there wasn't anyone around. Or so he thought. He barely made it to the end of the main hallway when something grabbed his right hand.
Turning around, Jack could tell in the dimly lit hallway that it was Foxy.
"What do you want?" Jack asked, trying to mask his fear.
"Why it be you lad." Foxy said. Jack detected alcohol on his breath after he spoke.
"I don't understand…"
"Don't think I didn't hear you and your 'friend' in the security office not long ago. You performed perfectly. Now I want a turn."
Jack's breath stopped. This couldn't be happening.
"As flattering as that sounds, I don't want to do that again. I've had enough for tonight, plus you aren't my type." Jack said, trying to wriggle himself free.
Foxy tightened his grip, and grabbed Jack's other hand. "Oh, I don't think you get it do you. Cap'n Foxy always gets what he wants."
"If it wasn't clear, I don't want to! No! Let me go!"
Jack flailed around, but to no avail. His strength was nowhere near the entertainer's. All the while, Foxy just laughed.
"You know, I've always liked your type." Foxy said in a husky voice. "The ones who think they are strong enough to break free, and have the guts to say no. Yet, your efforts are useless as you are still stuck in my grasp. You were easy to capture, and it'll be even easier to get on you, as you'll just give up and submit."
Stunned, Jack's mouth went dry. He felt like throwing up.
"You won't get away with this, Jeremy's working the night shift." Jack said. "JER-"
But before Jack could get the first syllable of Jeremy's name out, Foxy clamped a hand over his mouth, readjusting his body so that he still had a firm grasp on Jack.
"Why, that won't be necessary." Foxy replied. "You're with Cap'n Foxy now. There's no need for security to get involved. I'll take care of you real nice."
And with that, Foxy dragged a thrashing Jack into the restrooms.
