Work Text:
Peter had just moved into Dialtown with his wife, Caroline, and his brother, Jack. Dee, his sister, didn't want to come with them, which Peter understood, it was hard to move out of your hometown. Peter and Caroline bought themselves a house, which Jack also stayed until he found a job to gain money for his own apartment.
After a few months Jack got himself a job and eventually got himself an apartment, at fazbenders.. He was the manager and he had a few employees, one named Harry, but let's not get into detail about Jack's life. Peter also found a job after a month, earlier then his brother, at DT's mechanics plant. The pay wasn't all that much but it was enough that he could afford rent. Peter also met a guy there, Roger, Roger Jones, he was a chatty and happy guy, he'd often talk about bugs, which admittedly, Peter didn't really care about. He and Roger weren't friends, they'd sometimes talk, but the guy would often run off talking to another co-worker he was closer too, that being Rebecca, She was a polite woman, She and the other were good friends, Peter thought. He also met the others, Joe, Fabron, Everett, Walt and the boss, Mr. Barrett.
It was an ordinary day at work, The red phone was in his office, eating his lunch there, as he had no friends there, only acquaintances, obviously as he was just 1 month there. There was sudden knock at the door.
"Come in!" Peter shouted.
The person who entered the office was Roger, with a sandwich in his hand.
"Hey P-Peter! Wanna, yknow, walk around while eating our lunches? Cuz Becca didn't come today so I thought I could come to you." the orange phone rubbed his neck, sensing it was a bit awkward since he and the red phone don't talk much.
"Sure." Peter got up from his seat and started to walk, signaling for Roger to come. Roger quickly started to walk the same pace as Peter, Peter was a fast walker, the orange phone thought.
The two were walking around the plant, before Roger decided to speak.
"uhh.. How have you been? Do you like this job at the plant?" He asked.
"I suppose it's good, the pay is okay, I don't think it's that bad.. Not unlike that Job back at Reno." The other admitted, he wasn't a big fan of Fazbenders.
"Oh, why?" Roger asked yet again, wanting to know why his fellow co-worker seemed to despise that restaurant.
"the pay was bad, the animatronics were garbage and the murders there.. And also it smelled like ass."
Roger seemed to chuckle at that last part.
"ah, I wouldn't want to work there..i think." Roger said, not seeming to sure if his answer.
"nobody would, trust me." the red phone replied, giving Roger a smile.
The other smiled back.
Roger then later talked about bugs, Which Peter was somehow paying attention to, he liked how Roger talked. before they knew it, their break was over, Roger never got to eat his sandwich because of all the talking meanwhile Peter ate it all since he didn't speak much. Maybe he wasn't that bad.
Days passed, The two got closer, Peter also was starting to talk to the others, it was all okay, he could live like this, better then working at that stupid restaurant. He found Roger to actually be more enjoyable to be around with then Peter thought, often listening to his ramblings, even tho they weren't 100% true, Peter didn't mind. The duo became friends, then to best friends. Who knew they could become friends so quickly? It was all good until that day. That changed everything.
