  "Okay, hand me the sprinkles." I say, not taking my eyes off of the cake in front of me.

"Hmm . . Bad manners won't get you very far in life, darling." Sun states in a matter-of-factly tone. His hand was raised, finger tapping on his faceplate.

I look up from the precise detail I was attempting, and lower my eyelids with annoyance at his stubbornness. Good 'ol Sun was still programmed the same, regardless of there not being a daycare around anymore.

"Fine," I huff, tossing my head back with annoyance. "Please?"

He shrugs innocently, taking a glance down at his fingers as if he had nails. Sun leans against the counter, glancing over at me. "That one didn't sound nice."

I bring a smile to lips and tilt my head ever so softly to the side. Then, I lean forward with the fake smile plastered across my face. "Pretty please?" I ask. "With a cherry on top?"

He chuckles, shaking his head and lowering his hand. "Well, now I think you're just being too formal." 

I narrow my eyes on the animatronic before turning back to the chocolate cake sitting on a plate in front of me. The frosting was smooth, but I was trying to get it even smoother. "Listen, I have about five more minuets to finish this before Gregory gets home from school. I need this cake to be done before then!"

Yes, I'm making a birthday cake. It turned out quite well if I had to be honest.

Sun helped— sort of.

He cleaned while I worked. Still has that OCD bug in him. I didn't mind it, things were easier to manage around here with him cleaning everything for me all the time.

I went to work, -which so happened to be at a university- where I would fix anything broken. I was quoted the best technician in the area, and even offered a job at an institute for robotics. I showed off my hard work on Sunny and Moon, and well, the professors really liked what they saw. We just didn't mention he was stolen property from the largest corporation in the state (Fazbear Entertainment).

"Don't take that tone with me, missy." Sun hands over the container and drops it into my hand. Then, crosses his arms over his chest plate. I smirk over at him.Freddy pops his head out from the living room, and waltzes into the kitchen with a hand on his hip. "Do you need any help with the cake?"

I shake my head. "No, but thanks Freddy!" I catch a glance from the bear. "Did you finish wrapping the presents?" I ask him.

He nods. A smile stretches on the bears face. "Yes, I did! They're sitting on the coffee table." Freddy explains. I peek up from the cake, and glance into the living room. Like Freddy had said, the boxes were stacked on the coffee table in a respectable manner. From biggest to smallest, towered. There were only a couple of boxes, but there was one in particular I was really excited for him to open.

"Oh, good!" I smile.

And just as I was finished with the icing, the front door opens. My eyes widen, and I look up. Gregory walks into our apartment, his book bag slumping off of his shoulder in a tired manner. He looked beat for the day.

"Gah! Sun, go distract him!" I shoo the animatronic off and he nods, spinning around to greet Gregory with a big smile.

"Gregory! My little trouble maker! How's your day been? What did you do in school today?" Sun grabs the boys face, looking him over with viciously fast vision. "Do you need me to go grab you something? Oh! That hair of yours— it's a mess! Here, let me fix that for ya!" With Sun's hands fidgeting all over Gregory, and Gregory becoming quickly annoyed, I finish off the rest of the cake and place the candles on top.

Perfect.

"Sun! Stop!" Gregory rubs at his face, brushing off the celestial duo's hands. Sun retracts, tilting his head. "My day was fine, I'm just tired. Everybody was talking to me today." The boy says, slipping off his shoes.

"Well, well. Somebody's popular." Sun quirks down at him.

"I guess so." Gregory shrugs in response. "Where's Y/N?" He then asks, walking into the foyer. Sun stalls. "Uhh . . busy! Why don'tyou—"

I smile a little at the mention of my name. Walking over, I pop my head from around the corner and grin. "Right here!" My voice beams. "It's okay now, Sun." I wink over at the animatronic. Gregory smiles, and Sun looks back and forth between us with a smiling, curious expression.

"Come on, I've got something to show youuu~!" I grab for the boys hands and he laughs a little. "Oh no, please don't be embarrassing." He says, looking up at me with a nervous smile.

I giggle, and Sun follows us in tow. I cover Gregory's eyes from behind, and guide him into the kitchen. I motion with my hand to Sundrop for the lighter on the countertop. He quickly takes it, and lights the twelve candles.

I uncover the boys eyes and smile. His eyes widen at the double layered chocolate cake on the plate before him. His smile grows.

"Happy birthday!" I say.

Freddy waves at Gregory with a bright grin. "Happy birthday, Superstar."

"Woah . . You got this for me?" Gregory asks, looking around the room at all of us.

"Y/N made it herself, Gregory." Freddy mentions, offering me a little wink. I smile over at the iconic bear, and place my hands behind my back. "I did. Yup, I'm just that cool." I sneer down at him.

He laughs, and I giggle back. "It looks awesome!"

Gregory takes a seat up at the counter and sits in front of the cake. Sundrop stands beside me, and Freddy corners the counter, standing beside Gregory. "Make a wish." Freddy tells him.

"Just try not to make a mess." Sun adds, poking the boys cheek. Gregory closes his eyes, briefly, then readies himself to blow out the candles. Finally, he blows out the flames and we all clap.

"Alright! Eat as much as you want." I ruffle his hair with my hand. Sun hands over the large kitchen knife to me, and smiles nervously. "No injuries allowed in the apartment! Make sure to cut at an angle, and watch those fingers!"

I roll my eyes and start to laugh. "Yea, yea. I'll make sure to cut my finger off just for you to clean." I shoot him a smirk from over my shoulder. His face looks like he had just run cold with fear. Recovering from his shock, he says, "Don't make me get Moon." The sun huffs, crossing his arms.

"Oh no~ I'm so scared." I continue to tease. I press the knife into the cake and cut out the perfect slice for Gregory.

"This looks so good." Gregory coos. He takes the fork from beside him and stabs it into the cake, then shoves a too large of a piece into his mouth. "An it taf's goo-d!" His mouth is full when he talks.

I nudge him and narrow an eye. "Birthday or not, don't talk with your mouth full." I tease him.

I stand off in the corner of the hallway with Sun, peeking my head out at Gregory and Freddy who were laughing over one of the new presents he had just opened up.

Wariness is written into my face as Sun looks down at me. His hands rub my shoulders in attempt to calm my shrill nerves. I stay hidden behind the wall, stiff with anticipation at the paper in my hand."It'll be okay, Y/N." Sun keeps his voice lowered, as to not draw any attention over to us. I shake my head with a soft frown. "What if he doesn't want it?" My voice whispers back.

"If he doesn't, well, don't take it personally." Sun turns me to look at him, hands on my shoulders still. "But you know what? I think he'll love the idea. Why wouldn't he? Gregory loves you." Sun tilts his head to the side at me, offering a more sympathetic smile.

I pressure one back up to him, shrugging. "I don't know . . Maybe I'm just not cut out for this." There's a disappointment in my voice.

"This is a big commitment, you know." He says with a slight amount of sternness to his tone. "Taking care of a child is a lot of responsibility, and hard work. If you think that you can handle it, I say go for it."

I nod with hesitance. Tears brim my eyes. "I know," I whisper, "But, what if—"

Sun shakes his head, arms crossed over his chest plate. "Darling, you're already a great care taker. I'd hire you! Don't be so hard on yourself! You can't be thinking about the 'what if's', and make yourself anxious." The animatronic chuckles down at me. His hand intertwines with my own free hand, and I try to smile brighter. "Come on, let's go." Sun gives me a small tug.

I nod again, and suck in a deep breath of air. As I approach Gregory and Freddy, I notice the little gleam of anticipation in the glamrock's eye as he sees me hold the paper in hand.

"Gregory," I say, softly. My voice wobbles but I brighten it up with a smile. He sat on the floor, holding onto the new video game I had gotten for him. His brow raises. Gregory already knew that something was off. "Yeah? What is it?" He asks. "You okay?"

I nod, kneeling down on the floor beside him. Sun smiles, and Freddy gives a look of weary. I glance to both of them before presenting the papers in my hand to the kid before me.

The brunette laughs awkwardly, looking around the room. The tension was thick, and I felt like I couldn't breathe. "What is this?" He asks.

My shoulders shrug innocently. "Open it."

He furrows his brows, and digs into the paper. Upon reading it, his eyes widen. I sit with tense hands folded together. The worry was starting to build up inside of me when I didn't hear him say anything for a while. Then, tears began to brim the boy's eyes. He looks up at me and gives a look of curiosity. "Is this real?"

I nod with hesitance. Did he not want it? Does he think I'm weird now?

I feel Sun's stare over my shoulder, and catch a glimpse of Freddy's deadpan.

"Yeah, Gregory . . It's real."

Gregory throws his arms around me, and I sigh out my anxiety with relief. "Yes, I want you to adopt me, Y/N." He muffles into my shirt. I hug him back and smile. "I was so worried," I laugh, teary eyed at the boy. He shakes his head and lets go of me with a sappy grin. "This is the best birthday I've ever had," Gregory sniffles his nose. "I couldn't imagine living here without you." He lets a laugh escape from him.

Freddy and Sun glance to each other and smile down at us.

"Thank you." He says. I hug the boy tighter and nod. "You're welcome."
