Chapter Text
Goldie was silently following Freddy, his footstep quietly echoing the halls as he looked at his hands, the floor, anywhere but Freddy. It had just recently hit him what almost happened, he nearly killed Freddy and toy Freddy… With someone he barely knew, was he crazy?! He nearly ended up dying… all because he trusted that-
"Goldie, we're here." A voice snaps him out of his spiral for a moment, Freddy. "Hey, I know I was a bit… angry back there but your hands are shaking. You ok?" He asked like he didn't just call Goldie insane like a few minutes ago. "I'm fine, it's just the adrenaline." Goldie lied, like Freddy would actually care. Goldie was feeling so many things at once. Scared, angry, sad… he felt like he was going to have a breakdown. No. He can't do that. Not in front of everyone. That would be pathetic and he's NOT pathetic.
Soon they reach the party, Freddy and toy Freddy told the situation about shadow to mike, and he decided it would be safer for everyone to stay together. Goldie sat a a distant table, close but still far from the others. Goldie was off in his own world and, as he stared at nothing he began to think again, who was even shadow Freddy? Why did he trust a stranger? Just because they showed a bit of kindness? He was going to kill Freddy and toy Freddy over someone doing that? God he was an idiot.
The others were so happy, partying after that like nothing had happened, yet, Goldie felt tears coming, all because of this one thing. He was not a murderer. He was not a murderer. He was not a murderer-
His breath quickened, his hands shaking again, he remembers shadow whispering in his ear after he backed out of the killing, that chill he had up his spine, shadow said he would do it eventually. He was wrong, right? Was shadow going to kill him if he didn't? Luckily Freddy grabbed his hand in that moment and ran away, like a smart person. If Freddy didn't do that, would he have just standed there? Be frozen in fear?
The tears come out one by one, Goldie tries to hide his face, quiet down his sobs. He wanted to leave the room, go cry in the back rather then in front of everybody, His whole body was shaking at this point, he didn't know if the others were watching, yet it felt as if he had a hundred judging eyes on him, he didn't want to be looked at- no- no! no no no no no no no no no no no! No one can see him like this!
He was acting pathetic, God, he was one. He was a cry baby. Just like those teens had said in the past, maybe they were right for bullying him, maybe he should give up, maybe he should have been scrap-
Then there was a hand one his shoulder "Goldie?" Bonnie's voice asked gently, like Goldie wasn't almost a killer. "You're crying… are you ok? Genuinely." Goldie snaps out of it again, he tries to joke, use sarcasm like normal but… "oh you know me Bonnie! Just peachy." He lied unconvincingly as tears rolled down his face like an ugly tell tale sign. "Are you sure about that?" Bonnie tilted his head, clearly seeing Goldie's tears drip down and hit the table. Drip, drip, drip- "LET'S JUST GO WITH YES." Goldie growled his claws getting stuck in the table cloth as he tried to look away.
"Ok Goldie I can see you're clearly not, hey…" Bonnie sat next to Goldie, Goldie's voice cracked "j-just leave me alone Bonnie, go have fun at the party…" Bonnie puts his hand on Goldie's, and stares with those ruby eyes of his. "i don't think that would be a good idea. you look like you are about to have a breakdown Goldie." Bonnie says firmly. not harshly but definitely firmly. Goldie sniffles "here i have a box of tissues, you look like you need them" Bonnie gives Goldie the tissues, he pulls one out and tries to stop the tears. the tissues are quite soft, they were high quality for sure. Goldie was puzzled why Bonnie had these but was thankful anyways. "thanks but… why are you not in the party like the rest?" Goldie looks up at Bonnie, the purple rabbit towering over him as per usual, despite that Goldie still feels safer now then he did a few minutes ago. Goldie swears Bonnie has some kind of magic. "we have a party like every 2 weeks or so. it gets tiring after like the tenth one. or it does for me." Bonnie replies, looking over to the party then back at Goldie, he gives a gentle smile. "and besides, i couldn't leave you here looking like a sad wet cat."
"oh thanks bon- what!? i don't look like a sad wet cat!" goldie was shocked and a bit flustered for some reason. "i was just- JUST FEELING TOO MANY EMOTIONS! i had it handled!" Bonnie nods and rolls his eyes, before gently rubbing Goldie's hand with his thumb, which makes Goldie more embarrassed. "Goldie you gotta learn how to except help or else you're just going to suffer alone. and who else could it be but you to make our lives in the pizzeria more chaotic? surely not toy Freddy." Goldie looks at Bonnie like he's insane "Bonnie, Freddy and toy Freddy nearly died because of me. i don't think i deserve this help." bonnie replies "sure but it wasn't your intention, you never physically hurt anyone in your evil plans and you didn't today either. you could have left freddy and toy freddy to die but you didn't." goldie didn't know what to say, bonnie was right but… Goldie supposes Bonnie always was the more logical then him.
