Wolf's Mate
Rose's POV
We spent some more time around the mall, talking with each other, depateding each other's veiws on current hot topics of the world, what we wanted to learn and do as we get older, but mostly joked with each other. Not once did I let go of her hand and I noticed how close to walked next to her side. If she noticed she never said anything or even minded.
But I was being careful not to brush against her to much but I did enjoy being close to her none the less. As it got closer to when I have to meet Damin, we left to go back to the car, "That was so fun Rose. We should do this again sometime. Oh! Maybe costume shopping for the dance." Chica exclaimed, making me smile at how joyful she is. "Yeah we can do that. We could get a couple's costume set," I said and instintly regret it but her smile blocked most of it.
"That would be fun. How's about princess and the knight?" she suggested as my heart pittered pattered. "Uh yeah, that's a good costume idea." I tried to mentally calm my heart as Amanda came over to me. I watch her come over and hug me. "I feel that you will make a great knight in shining armor," she stands on her tip toes and gives me a kiss that I noticed was on the corner of my lips rather my cheek. My breath hitched just thinking that if I turned my head at that point I would have kissed her again. I wasn't sure visablly I was but I felt like I was sweating bullets through my shirt as to how nervous I was.
The way she smiled at me, made my knees weak, making me want to lean down and kiss her for real. But my mouth felt dry, I had a hard time breathing. So I smiled back at her and before my mind can catch up to me, I actully leaned in and gave her a kiss on the forehead in return, making her smile that much brighter.
'God I wish I can make her smile like that everyday.' I mentally sighed as she went back to the passanger side and I got in the driver. 'But what can a 2D character like me offer her? I'm not Edision, Tom Franklen, or fictional Tony Stark smart. I'm decent looking at best. I feel like I don't have much personailty other than wolve's blood, football and hockey. I have nothing else interesting about me.' I drove us both to the address that was sent to me as Chica listened to music over the radio.
As my thoughts got darker I mentally slapped myself to get out. 'No. No Rose, bad. You are just being hard on yourself. Who knows, maybe I do have a lot to offer and I just don't know it yet? And technectly I'm still young, I have time to grow and be better, learn, grow more smart or more well rounded. Build on the personility I have to share and grow more with Chica. Just because it looks like I have little doesn't mean what I know is little as well.' I thought before glancing at a singing Chica.
Smiling before quickly focusing on the road before us. We arrived to U-haul storage building and I parked the car in the first empty spot I could find before turning off the car and we both got out. Once through the entrance, Damin met us there. "Rose and her mate," "Not my mate. My friend," I said. "Again, can fool me but glad you are here. I would need help keeping the animatronics up standing as I work on them or pass me tools," Damin explained as I nodded.
They lead the way to the storage box that held the animatonics, along the way we all were quite and I smelt their scents. Carrot cake, autume breeze, mint, old books, citrus and cinnamon. There was other smells but their's is most recent in the halls. 'They must be moving around at night here too,' I thought. We arrived to the unit with the door to it open, lights on. Inside the unit I can see creats, tables, chairs, argade games, a small carsaole, a large blue and purple box, etc and in the center of it all is the animatronics themselves except for the puppet.
For outsiders, them looking back at you is creepy but I knew better, for I see the surprise behind their eyes. Suprised of what could be a number of things such of a near lion person, a wolf girl or their friend Chica. Maybe a mix of all. "So mister mechanic, what shall I the night guard do to help you first?" I annocened dispite how odd it sounded but I wanted the new animatonics to know who is who.
Damin raised a brow at me as Chica knew what I meant by what I said. I felt a chill down my spine as we all walked in, and I knew it well for it was the kid or kids that controlled this group. I looked down and saw Mangle, it looked like she was looking ahead but I saw her, looking at me from the corner of her eye. I give her a soft smile and but I see how she got her name and I really did want to help her. 'Maybe I can talk with her once I get Damin out of here.' I thought to myself as Damin started to examine the animatronics.
"Where is the puppet?" he asked and I looked to the box. "In there?" I said gesture to the large gift box. "Check," he said as he opened up Funtime Bonnie. "Ok, I'll open up this box in broad daylight," I called out loud enough for the puppet to possably hear me before I opened his box. To say the least I was startled when I found a stark white mask with purple tears and red lips staring back at me. "Geez puppet, I maybe a big ol' wolf but give a girl some warning," I said with a laugh.
"Alright, I'm just gonna pick you up out here for repairs is all," I said as I slowly reached down into the box. I knew he won't attack me in front of everyone but caution got me. I grabbed him and picked him up out of the box with a little effort. He is skinny but his height makes up for his weight of metal and fabric. I noticed something else, I noticed another animatronic in the box. It was bare metal endo-skeletion with silver eyes and pointed ears that makes me think of a fox. But I wasn't sure since Mangle looked to have her's and Foxy has his so I don't know who this is.
'Only one I know who doesn't have one is Goldie in his aniatronic form,' I thought as I closed the box and place Puppet on top, sitting. I look around to the other animatronics, each of them glacing at me and or Amanda as Damin worked. "Hey, anyone want drinks or snacks? I think I heard a vending machine or 2 nearby," I offered since I was hoping the ghost or ghosts follow me away so that I can make a deal with them. "I can go for a drink. Water if they have it," Damin said from inside Toy Bonnie's chest. "I'll come with you Rose," Amanda said, coming up to me but I held a hand up to stop her.
"It's fine, you say here and help Damin, Amanda. I'll br right back deal?" I said with a wink. Hoping she got what I was trying to do. She smiles and nods to me, "Alright h-Rose. I'll have a water as well." I smile back at her before leaving the unit to other direction we came from. Feeling the cold chill I'm familier with on my back as I left.
Chica's POV
"So, you two aren't mates?" Damin asked suddenly, making me blush. "N-no no. We-we aren't dating. We're just really good friends." I stuttered. 'Friends who has kissed once before and are now sleeping in the same bed till the Pizzeria re-opens.' "Could have fooled me," he said as he closed up Toy Bonnie before moving onto Toy Freddy.
"Hey Damin?" "Yes Amanda?" "Can you tell me more about...I guess I'll say mixed bloods? Like you and Rose?" I asked, un-sure what to call Rose and others like her. "Does this have to do with me mentioning the iron we need or just our features in general?" He asked me from under his arm. "The blood. Rose told me, you all get sick from lake of iron from the lesser and you get aggresstive." I explained what Rose told me to him.
"Well she is right about one being thicker than the other but that depends on how much each person has aswell. With me, I don't need that much iron for I have little of the human. But Rose she needs it much more for its harder to blend and mix the two bloods. Excersie, eating right enough and of course the iron is what helps blend them more and make it easier to live. If you had the blood in you for years its still hard to blend them and make sure you don't get blood clots." "Blood clots?" I got worried.
'Rose could get blood clots? She said sick but not that sick.' "Yes, blood clots. Nasty problem we can get. The thicker blood tries to over take the thinner but the thinner has problem melding with the thicker. You would think there would be no probelm since after years of having the blood but sadly no." Damin shook his head before going back to work. I looked to the entrance of the unit where Rose went through and I grew worried for my beloved Rose.
'Beloved? God I fallen hard for her.' I thought was I helped Damin with repairs till Rose came back. I did learn a little more of mixed bloods but not much since even to themselves they are mysterious. I also learn that they were a hermarodite. A person with both male and female parts. They prefered either pronouns but mostly stuck with male to make things easy for people.
But did like when they use both. As we talked while he worked, she suddenly growled. At first I thought it was their stomach but it from their throut. "Sorry. I'll be right back, tell Rose that I went to my car," he said as he closed up Toy Chica and left to head to his car. "...Animal people...that's new in the world of science," a baratone voice said. "Yeah it sure is Puppt." I said without looking at him.
