⚜ 𝓨𝓸𝓾 𝓦𝓸𝓷! ⚜ [William Afton x Reader]

.ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ 13.

I chew my meal. Carefully. Slowly.

Too slowly?

— Y/N! Y/N! — Alya calls out to me which finally makes me snap out of my thoughts.

— Oh? W-what's up, Al? Something the matter?

She puffs her cheeks and looks at me angrily. Seems like I missed something important she was saying...

— I asked you don't mind if I and Michael could go to the park today! You're not listening at all... Is something the matter, sis? You can always tell me! You don't look too well, to be honest...

I blink and look at her a bit confused. I don't look well? Huh?

— Your cheeks are absolutely red. Dream less about me. — William passes behind me and manages to whisper it out to my ear.

W-what. Is he... Teasing me like that now?

I sigh quietly. Yes, we did kiss a few hours ago... But... This still feels surreal. Of course that's everything I can ever think of, it's natural!

I really can't help but wonder... Does he have feelings for me? Is it how it is? And if yes... Then why the hell?

Agh, I have to focus on other things now.

— I am alright, don't worry Lee! — I give her a gentle smile, — And of course you can go. Just don't get in any trouble and return until 8 PM. I wouldn't want you and Michael to miss out the dinner, alright?

she nods enthusiastically.

— It's a deal! MICHAAAAEL, SHE ALLOWED! GET YOUR BUTT READY!

I giggle just a little. They are truly like siblings already.

The kids quickly prepare for their walk and after saying goodbyes Alya runs out with Michael slowly walking behind, like a true calm boy he is. Almost. Every quiet boy has a loud side, I already know that.

I smile at them and watch them leave, as I feel warm breath on my neck and William's hands pull me into an embrace from behind.

— Finally the noise is gone. Finally we're alone.

I can feel my cheeks turn red again. Why is he acting like we're a damn couple, for gods sake?

— You sure are more.... Intimate now, Afton. I wonder if that's a good thing or not.

I can feel his smirk. I just know he's smiling.

— Why would I go against my wishes? Since I saw you in the airport the only thing I ever wanted is to do is this...

— So you're like in love with me or something?

— Ahem... — he coughs a little, a bit surprised by such boldness from me. — Well... I don't know, to be honest. It is... really different from what I felt towards Clara. Absolutely different. I never really believed in "love" in it's meaning. She was important to me and I felt obliged to protect her.

His whole demeanor changes. He sounds just like a.... Normal human? Is that even possible with William Afton?

— So what is the difference?

— The difference is... When she left... I didn't try to make her return. I was mad at you, at her, at your damn father and Gray. At everyone, including myself. I felt like my life is ruined now that she left. But I didn't feel any sorrow. Any regrets. But you... When you flew away to your little big brother... At first I didn't care. Then I started to wonder how are you doing. I started thinking about you often. I even thought about sending you a little present on your 19th birthday. I... Missed you. I felt like a huge part of me is missing. I thought that it because I let you go away alive. But just recently I came to realization...
