Chapter Text
"I cannot believe that you would disrespect our relationship like this!" Foxy basically yelled.
Freddy rolled his eyes, "I think you're just upset that I'm right and you're not," he said, causing Foxy to gasp and a hand flew to his chest.
This was a debate. A good one too. Foxy loved milk chocolate. Freddy didn't. They were arguing on which on was better and since the both of them were so stupidly stubborn, neither of them wanted to back down.
"You asshole!" Foxy yelled, turning his back to Freddy and crossing his arms. Freddy was unbothered. He knew this little temper tantrum would last a few minutes before foxy caved and they came to an agreement.
"Poor baby," he said, smirking and watching as Foxy struggled to keep himself from laughing but Freddy kept talking, "What will I ever do without my dumb ass strawberry shortcake by my side?"
Foxy whipped around and poked Freddy's chest, trying to sound stern but he was smiling and laughing as he scolded him, "Hey! I am a perfectly average height. You, sir, are just stupidly tall!" he kind of yelled. Freddy laughed as Foxy kept ranting, "You can't bully me for being built short! Not when you are like a tree compared to me!"
Freddy chuckled to himself.
"What's so funny?" Foxy asked, dropping the act of pretending to be offended and now curious as to what Freddy could possibly be laughing at.
"No," Freddy pressed a hand over his mouth to muffle a laugh before he started speaking, "You just sound so stupid right now, it's funny"
Foxy let out a scoff/laugh before he punched Freddy's arm, causing the bear to start laughing harder, "Fucking asshole," Foxy muttered but he couldn't stop himself from chuckling either.
Once Freddy regained his composure, Foxy took his hand and the two smiled before Freddy spoke, "Alright. I don't agree with your stance on milk chocolate, but we can agree that chocolate is good?" he asked, and Foxy nodded.
"Yeah, even if your taste is inferior to mine," Foxy said, earning a pinch to his side. He jerked back and started laughing again.
"Don't be a dick," Freddy said, but he didn't really care about the comment. He just liked seeing Foxy smile
"I agree with Freddy," Circus Baby said, earning an offended scoff from both Foxy and Lolbit, "Dark chocolate is just better. Even if it's bitter. The sweetness of milk chocolate is just too much,"
Lolbit crossed their arms and turned away, "We're not friends anymore," they said dramatically.
Freddy and Baby laughed. Yenndo chuckled from where he stood a few feet away. Everyone agreed Yenndo didn't have a say in this debate because he preferred white chocolate and that wasn't what this argument was about.
"So does that mean we win?" Freddy asked, watching as Lolbit spun around and pointed at him like he said something outrageous, which he had.
"NO! Absolutely not!" They yelled.
Foxy waved a hand, "We just have to ask Ballora and Ennard. Surely they know the right side to pick,"
"Yeah. Dark chocolate," Baby said smirking as Foxy glared at her playfully.
"Sorry dears," Ballora said, "I have to side with Yenndo. I just prefer white chocolate,"
Her statement earned a gasp from everyone but Ennard, who hadn't had chocolate before.
Yenndo smiled and cheered quietly to himself to avoid the glares of everyone else.
"So, Ennard is the tie breaker?" Foxy asked.
Freddy nodded, "Yeah, it's just never had chocolate before."
Ennard stood next to Freddy, nodding up at him.
Foxy huffed and Freddy was about to poke fun at him before Yenndo spoke up, finally, "We could just ask Mike if he would go get some for him to try?"
Everyone nodded at that.
"I'm not buying chocolate for it to try, it doesn't need that amount of sugar," Mike said. Everyone knew Mike had grown pretty fond of Ennard, even if it stared at him until he gave it attention.
Freddy and Foxy chuckled before Ballora said, "Of course dear, we just ask because this debate will go on for months, and you know how stubborn Freddy and Foxy are," she said.
Freddy didn't say anything because he knew she had a point but Foxy gave an offended "Hey!" in return.
Mike thought about that. If Freddy and Foxy kept arguing about this, then everyone would keep arguing about this then he'd be stuck with a bunch of yelling animatronics. He didn't want that. He took a deep breath and sighed, "Fine, but after it makes a choice, no more fighting about chocolate," he said.
Everyone nodded and seemed pleased.
Ennard was the only one who stayed with Mike as everyone left to go do their own thing.
"Is there a reason they asked you?" Mike asked, going back to filing reports.
Ennard shrugged.
Mike sighed and finished the report he was working on before standing, "I gotta go. If Elizabeth drops by looking for her doll, would you give it to her? It's in the cabinet next to the party supplies so the Minireena's don't find it,"
Ennard nodded, taking it's task very seriously.
Mike smiled, but behind the white mask he always wore, no one could see it, "Thanks. I'll be back tomorrow," he said, then he left.
True to his word, Lizzy did drop by looking for her doll. Freddy was happy to help her look but Ennard's help was much appreciated. Lizzy hugged her doll and waved goodbye to Freddy and Ennard before she teleported off to wherever she spent her time. Probably with Mike.
Monday came faster than they expected. Mike had come back with small amounts of white, milk, and dark chocolate for Ennard to try. Everyone was taking this very seriously. Well, everyone but Freddy, who really didn't care and had to be dragged out of bed. He wanted to sleep and Mike could honestly relate to that.
Everyone sat in a circle on Baby's stage. Ennard inspected the chocolate before trying the milk chocolate first. It was sweet like everyone had said. White chocolate was sweeter. Dark chocolate was bitter and it actually quite liked all of them. It had no clue what to pick.
Everyone, minus Freddy and Mike, were nervous to see what it would pick. Ennard was the tie breaking decision after all.
In the end, it pointed to the white chocolate. Ballora and Yenndo smile while Baby, Foxy and Lolbit, looked at one another before bursting out laughing. This was a silly debate after all. The amount of seriousness they all put into this was ridiculous.
Freddy yawned and rested his chin on Foxy's shoulder, "Should have expected it," he said. Foxy chuckled but didn't respond. He leaned back against Freddy and the two sat there while everyone else spoke.
Mike stood up and went back to the security room, followed by Ennard. Baby and Lolbit were still arguing about chocolate but they were smiling and Ballora and Yenndo were looking for the cards so they could play a game.
"You gonna play with them?" Foxy asked, drawing Freddy's attention to Ballora and Yenndo, who came back with playing cards. It was no secret he was good at card games.
Freddy shook his head, "Nah. I'd rather chill here with you,"
Foxy smiled, "Even if my chocolate love goes against yours?"
Freddy nodded.
The soft chatter of Ballora and Yenndo, mixed with the quiet yelling of Baby and Lolbit blended together. It was easy for Freddy to fall asleep too.
Foxy chuckled to himself but didn't bother to try and keep Freddy awake. He knew it would be useless anyway. Foxy reached over and grabbed the abandoned milk and dark chocolate, wrapped it up, and put it in his hoodie pocket. Snacks for later. He was lucky it was cold in their location or it would be melted by now.
"I still don't understand why you like it so much," Foxy said, watching Freddy read while taking small bites of the dark chocolate he had snatched for him. Foxy had just finished the milk chocolate and was sitting on their charged bed, legs crossed while he stitched up a ripped shirt.
Freddy shrugged, "I'm not a big sugar person. Plus, I like bitter things," he said. He was laying on his stomach where he was and avoiding the needle Foxy was holding. Freddy hated needles so Foxy had to make sure he didn't set the needle and thread down. Plus he didn't want it to get lost in the bed and poke them while they slept.
Foxy hummed but nodded in the end. He knew Freddy didn't like sweet things very much. The guy could drink black coffee no problem, which is BITTER AS FUCK but he really didn't mind.
"What are you reading?" Foxy asked, going back to focusing on sewing.
Freddy hummed, "A book about the French Revolution,"
"You're such a history nerd," Foxy said, smirking when Freddy playfully glared at him.
"I simply enjoy the topic," Freddy said. Foxy noticed how he didn't deny it but he didn't bring that up.
It took Foxy a few more minutes to finish stitching up the shirt but he was proud of himself because it looked good. Freddy glanced over.
"Looks good. Lora's lessons are paying off," he said.
Foxy nodded. Ballora had been teaching him to sew and stuff for the past few months and he was super proud to show her later.
Freddy went back to reading. He was about halfway through his book by now.
Foxy set his stuff away, making sure to put the needle up first and he climbed onto Freddy's back, laying on his back.
Freddy chuckled and closed his book, marking his page with a sticky note.
"Comfy?" he asked before putting another piece of chocolate in his mouth.
Foxy nodded and reached over and snagged a small piece of chocolate and put it in his mouth. He did have to admit that it was good but he didn't really like the lack of sweetness.
"Dark chocolate and strawberries are actually pretty good if you're interested," Freddy said, catching Foxy's attention.
Foxy smiled and said, "We'll have to ask Mike if he wouldn't mind picking some up for us,"
Freddy nodded and put his book in the nightstand drawer like he always did.
Foxy smiled and leaned down, kissing his cheek. He was happy he didn't have any makeup on right now or Freddy would have to wash his face.
"Do you have any shows tomorrow?" Foxy asked, laying his chin on Freddy's head, pushing the hat he always wore onto the floor.
Freddy shook his head, "Nope,"
Foxy smiled, "We should ask mine to see if he can bring us the stuff to MAKE the chocolate covered strawberries!"
Freddy nodded in agreement before he pulled the pillow up to his chest and buried his face into the fabric. Foxy smiled and closed his eyes. After a few minutes, he could hear Freddy's even breathing, letting him know that he was fast asleep and probably wouldn't wake up for the next few hours.
"Night, baby doll," he mumbled, even though it was midday. He didn't care. They could argue about chocolate for hours but these sweet moments where they planned to do things together and hung out made those arguments seem just petty and fun. Even if it was weird.
