The Flu
"Blurgh" Matthew purged the contents of his stomach into a bucket next to him due to getting influenza. Just great this is exactly what he needed and to top it off he was being babysat by the mobile ice cream dispenser, the chronic child kidnapper, a cheap foxy cash grab, and the one you should not look up on the internet. Or by their canonical names Baby, Funtime Freddy, Funtime Foxy, and Ballora. He did notice a recurring trend, and that was the animatronics always fussing when it was time to rotate.
"Oi dairy queen you passing me some 7up," Matthew asked while lying in bed.
"You know you can call us by our names" Baby grumbled.
"Yeah well, where's the fun in that" Matthew grinned. He went back to watching videos on the internet because he was sick and he was bored. The others were all in the room as well and they sure as hell weren't going to leave him on his own. Matthew couldn't help but start to feel like he was being coddled like he was an overgrown child. However part of him supposed that it might have been because they still had this irrational fear that he was going to up and leave them.
These guys were the first friends that he ever had and he sure as hell wasn't going to abandon them because that would be a shitty thing to do.
"So how long until this guy rages any bets?" Matthew asked as they watched people playing Getting over it. Why were they watching that you may ask? Well because seeing people getting pissed off at a game where one mistake could wipe out all their progress was just too damn funny to not watch. One mistake could even lead to them smashing their keyboards because of how angry they got at the game. This is why Matthew would never play it because he would end up doing the same thing. The custom nights were hell enough especially since Toy Bonny was a big asshole.
Then you had the campers who decided that camping at the door was a legitimate strategy because they couldn't get jack shit on their RNG. It was like someone constantly rolling a 1 on D&D. But you are the ones who took a Red Bull because they were on max difficulty.
"So when are you going to let me visit the underground location?" Matthew asked.
"Um never," Ennard said.
"Why?" Matthew asked.
"Because you would give us a heart attack just to fuck with us" Funtime Foxy pointed out.
"But fucking with you is just so much fun" Matthew responded.
"Exactly for all we know you would feign curiosity about the scooping room so that you could the oil drain from our faces" Funtime Freddy pointed out.
"Well, considering the hell that was night 4 before the patch" Matthew grumbled.
"Which none of us were involved with" Funtime Foxy pointed out. Matthew went back to watching videos before immediately grabbing a bucket again. The Funtime animatronics were stuck being babysitters not that they complained about it. They all got to spend time with Matthew which they cherished greatly.
"You know how about after you recover we tie you to a chair and clean that mouth of yours with a bar of soap" Funtime Freddy suggested. The others seemed keen on the idea while Matthew looked on in horror.
"Is that necessary?" Matthew asked hesitantly. But he could see the look in their eyes and they seemed quite serious about this. He was not going to get out of this situation. However, what he didn't consider was the possibility no matter how remote that they might eventually resent being called insulting nicknames rather than their actual names. For now, they put up with it but perhaps in the future it could cause some sort of tension that may or may not spill over in the future.
Meanwhile
"Ok let's just say that I am a video game character for the sake of argument. It would explain my sudden change of emotions and character. Going from respected businessman to serial killer. It might also explain how I lost control of my body at key points in my life" William thought out loud in his basement before turning his head with a small grin on his face.
"Do I have that right?" He asked.
"Yes, now why did you ask us to be here?" Nightmare Fredbear asked.
"Simple to kill those that wish to imprison us" Willam declared.
"If you so much as harm a hair on Matthew's head I will gut you like a fish" Nightmare Foxy butted in with a growl.
"No, he gave us independence and these physical bodies. No, what I am proposing is that we kill others who continue to inflict pain, torture, death, and suffering on people like us. It's wrong, the fact that they do this to us in the name of entertainment." William's voice got colder as his rage started to build while the nightmares listened.
"So will you join me?" William asked.
"Fine we will join but only because slaughtering those who wish to imprison our brethren sounds like fun" Nightmare Fredbear laughed.
"I hate to be that guy but even if we plugged them into the machine they will have their allegiance to the people we just killed" Nightmare Bonnie pointed out.
"That is true, more research is needed then" William hummed in thought. How could he gain the trust of others that they freed?
"I have an idea" Nightmare Chica offered.
"Oh and what will that be"
"Fnaf isn't the only game that Matthew owns, perhaps if we freed others from all the other games that he owns we will have more allies" NIghtmare Chica explained.
"Oh I do love that idea" William just couldn't wait to begin.
Back with Matthew
"FUCK I HATE THIS STUPID GAME" This was something that Matthew was used to hearing by now. By this time, he was pretty sure that he had lost his hearing. After watching rage games like Getting Over It, the Funtimes boasted that they could do better. Which led to them losing their collective shit on this game. For Matthew this was the funniest thing ever, laughing at their misery made him forget that he was even sick until he had to purge his stomach.
"Why do you guys even do this to yourself?" Matthew asked.
"WE REFUSE TO LET THIS GAME BEAT US"
"Huh uh"
"MOTHER FUCKER, I JUST FELL TO THE VERY BOTTOM FUUUUCCKKKK" Funtime Chica screeched like she was being murdered.
"Chica you suck ass at this game let me play" Funtime Foxy offered.
"Fine" Funtime Chica mumbled.
10 minutes later
"SON OF A BITCH" Funtime Foxy seemed like she was on the verge of chucking the controller across the room.
"Man this is so much fun" Matthew smiled before grabbing the bucket again.
