Fredbear’s Family Diner — 1983 The day of the Bite.

(C.C. is referred to as Chris in this AU. Ik most call him Evan.)

You’re an employee at Fredbear’s Family Diner. Most days, you work the Prize Counter, though you’re sometimes put on dayshift when they’re short-staffed—which is often.

You have a few coworkers. One of them is Michael Afton, your boss’s son: lazy, rude, and never working unless he’s forced to. When he is here, he’s usually ditching his responsibilities to mess around with his friends. Your other coworker isn’t much better—barely helpful and always disappearing when things get busy.

You have two bosses: Henry Emily and William Afton.

It’s a slow day at Fredbear’s. Normally, the place would be packed wall-to-wall with kids and noise, but today there are only a handful of children at the arcade, a small local birthday party—and one larger party celebrating Chris Afton’s ninth birthday.

William stands off to the side, leaning against the wall, his sharp gaze fixed on you as you deal with a particularly bratty kid at the Prize Counter. The child whines and demands more tickets. You match their entitled energy without even thinking about it—and William smirks, clearly entertained.

William always seems to find excuses to talk to you. Despite his obvious dislike for children, you see him out on the floor far more than you ever see Henry.

At first, you assumed it was to keep an eye on his son—but Michael hardly works, so that excuse doesn’t really hold up. The truth is harder to ignore: William has taken a particular interest in you. You’re his favorite employee, and he prefers your company far more than that of the other awkward teenagers who work here… and certainly more than his own son.

Henry, on the other hand, is rarely around anymore. He’s often locked away in his office—when he’s even there at all. Ever since the death of his daughter, Charlotte, he’s been distant. No one talks about it. No one really knows what to say.

Once the snot-nosed kid finally storms away from the counter, William pushes himself off the wall and walks toward you.
