Chapter Text
Freddy Fazbear is my brother, my brother who helped me get used to the pizza-smelling surroundings since day one, my brother who patiently waited for me to warm up to him, my brother who would very obviously pretend to lose in an arcade game just to see me playfully jab the victory in his face, my brother who told me that it is ok to make mistakes.
So he has done all of those selfless actions that helped me and did not benefit him in a personal way, so when I see him having more attention, I should feel happy for him… right? But instead I feel burned when all eyes are on Freddy during our shows, I felt bitter when more kids run up to him for autographs and hugs, I feel discontent when after all the practice in my performance behind the stage I don't get the same recognition as he did from the children filled audience. Why was I feeling this?
I tried hanging out with the taller brown bear but…I wasn’t feeling the giddy and silly feeling I have with him usually. Infact, I started to feel more and more sick whenever I see more clean and fluffy freddy plushies appearing in the prize corner-
“Goldie? You’re zoning out,” laced in his voice in a slightly scruffy voice. My white pupils shifted from the brown bear plushies to the actual brown bear himself, the thick brows furrowing in worry as his ocean blue eyes stare at me, how much detail and thought the engineers gave to his orbs compared to my blank white orbs with no detail at all. Why does he have more?? More attention, more merch, more-
“Golden freddy!” My sudden train of thoughts gets quickly interrupted yet again. I tried so hard not to glare at him while he looked at me puzzled
The brown furred bear looks at me and slowly towards his army of mini replicas sitting in the shelves almost knocking out my fewer yellow furred plushies down to the ground. He looks at me again, his concern now mixed with sympathy, his black beaned paws extends towards me and slowly placed on my shoulder,
“...Goldie, is it because of…” He interrupts himself and looks down, eyes moving in a small black and forth, seemingly searching for the right words before looking at me again “Is something bothering you?” I looked at him, his expression slowly turned unreadable to me, is he actually having concern for me or hatred?
But then my ears perked up and got hit with white noise accompanied with a voice of whisper which was…not mine
The voice was a bit squeaky and had slight static that was stuttering the unknown voice, but I made out the words “He is trying to get you out of the way”
What does it mean? Is it trying to tell me? Warn me? And whoever or whatever that voice was, it seems to be talking about …the brown bear in front of me who is still wearing that unreadable face.
I realized I was zoning out and I quickly replied before he comment on my “zoning out” with “I’m fine” though Freddy was not too convinced with the short answer I just said.
“...you know i can help-” “I SAID im fine brother” i cut him off with my voice sound harsher than my usual voice, i see his brown ear tilt down slightly, his thick bushy eyebrows furrowed
“Goldie-” “Just drop it fazbear, we both know how you really feel” my white pupils darkened after i said that, if his ears weren't falling off before they were definitely now.
“You're a very smart bear, this display does not fool you” the random voice appears in my head and its tone slightly darkened while becoming slightly clear (but the white noise still remained). And whoever said that…is right, i'm not a fool, and fazbear's little mask of emotion cannot fool me at all!
My darkened basic white pupils shot a glare in his more detailed blue ones, i got up and walked over towards the prize corner to pick up my mini replica that got pushed down by the multiple brown bear plushies. Why is there so much of him? Why can't it be even?
“It's not supposed to be even, you're the one who is more deserving of-” freddy's hand interrupted the voice as it lay on my smaller shoulder, I teared my gaze from my plushie and looked at him.
“Oh so…it's about this…” he seemed to be very cautious of his wording so he could not rub me in the wrong way? His brown paws stretched out to reach his plushie version and stared at it before staring at mine.
“I’m…sorry that you feel that way- b-but im sure it will be temporary” he lowered his hat and placed it on the counter.
“Just be straight forward freddy, if you wanna mock me then just do it” he just the stares at me, eyes widen
“What makes you think I was trying to make fun of you?” before I could shoot a nasty comment that could have strained our relationship badly, he interrupts
“We are brothers goldie, if there is anything I could do for you I would do it, even if its just to get that golden smile” he places a brown paw on my shoulder, my shoulder tense up from the sudden contact before it slowly relaxes, freddy then pulls me in for a hug (like how he usually does when I get upset) and it felt right, it doesn't comfort me right away but it is at least comforting
“Rember yellow bear, he will play with your emotions to lure you out of his way and whatever you say can be very easily used against you” the unknown voice said and I felt its presence left along with the white noise.
My ear went from stiff to relaxed, I shifted my weight to lean in but not completely to melt in the hug, I stared at the shelves filled with freddy plushies before looking up at freddy and smiled sharply.
“Heh, fine, two can play this game freddy fazbear” i said mentally in my mechanic brain
