Elizabeth ? - William x Male!Reader
A/N: This is split in two Chapters, because it would have been too long otherwise. TvT
WARNING!: Mention of corpse, cursing, mention of possession AND MORE! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED !!!
It had been five months since Penelope Liz Afton and Alex Zero Afton were born. William was mostly in bed, recovering, when he was walking around, M/n stayed around or Mike was written sick from school to keep an eye on his Father.
Evan mostly looked out for his new siblings, still feeling like trash, that he didn’t say anything about Lizzy sooner. M/n told him to keep silent about that to William, because he didn’t want him to stress out. He was recovering, there was no time for him to stress. He had to feed the babies, lose weight and heal.
M/n knew for a long while that William healed best when he slept a lot and ate more than usual, so he told him to stay in bed mostly. While William was recovering and breastfeeding the Babies, M/n, Henry and Mike tried to do his jobs.
Mike took care of the finances, so they all got paid and sometimes took over the Nightshift in Fredbear’s. He offered to also go to Circus Babies Entertainment and Rentals, but M/n refused him. Sometimes, Reina also came over and helped out, by cooking and telling Mike to not overwork himself. M/n was thankful for her. Michael was like William if it depended on it, he was a workaholic. Will would smack Mike over the head and tell him to sleep, if he knew.
Henry took care of both of the restaurants and took over most of Will’s Nightshifts. He took full control of the Restaurant, paying the bills, dealing with the Costumers, doing the paperwork, etc.
M/n helped where he could. He went shopping for food, he helped Henry out by doing a part of the paperwork from Fredbear’s, he took the Nightshifts, he tried to repair the Animatronics, if they broke down, remembering what William taught him and explained to him, just anywhere, where he could, he helped.
Evan was always watching his siblings. When they fuzzed and Will was sleeping, he tried to cheer them up and calm them down. He was afraid of loud noises, yes, but he wanted to be there for his siblings.
They did all they could in those five long months. At the third month William started to exercise a bit, losing the extra weight that stayed after childbirth. As the fifth month was half over, finally, William was fully recovered again.
Henry put him on a strict working and break schedule. He was allowed to work for 20 minutes, with one hour break in between every 20 minutes, so he can feed his Babies and catch a breath. If William won’t keep to the rules, Henry will put him on 4 years of Maternity. William was always bad with breaking habits, the Babies needed feeding until they were at least a year old and they can be very random too and then William has to decide with the Babies, if they want to continue with the breast feeding a bit longer.
Henry will not have William overwork himself for the next 6 years !
As William was working, M/n made Michael responsible for his newborn siblings, telling him that he had something else to do, something important. That was when he finally had enough time to look for Elizabeth.
He put on William’s old Circus Baby’s working clothes, took the old ID, to get inside the elevator, and stole the spare keys from William’s safe, in their Bedroom. Then he left, telling Mike and Evan to not utter a WORD of where he was going or where his stuff went. They promised to be silent. Evan was worried and felt sick, while Michael was confused as to why M/n, his Dad, would go back to that old place.
Not many went there for the Nightshift, nor the Dayshift. That day it was even closed, because of repainting Circus Baby’s Gallery.
So here M/n was now, staring at Circus Baby. He stood a few feet away from it, not wanting to get too close in case. He sighed and stared. He was hoping that he will get Elizabeth back.
“Circus Baby, power on.”, M/n demanded.
The Animatronic reacted.
“Circus Baby.exe.powering on.”, the System informed and not long later the eyes of the machine started to glow.
M/n almost choked in shock as he saw the eye color. William didn’t change it, he knew that.
‘Why are they green, like Elizabeth’s ? They were blue the whole time !’
M/n was VERY cautious. He glared at the machine. It glared back.
“Alright...You are one creepy clown. I really don’t understand what Lizzy saw in you... Let us open your Stomach and see if Evan didn’t dream what happened.”
The Machine didn’t move for a while, then it nodded and stayed still.
“If you stupid thing try to kill me, I will dismember you, PIECE BY PIECE.”, M/n swore darkly.
No reaction from the machine. M/n went in front of it and opened the stomach cavity. What he found made his heart drop and he felt sick. The smell was horrid and the sight was not better either.
“Oh God...”, M/n muttered.
He carefully pulled out the body. The DEAD body of Elizabeth. It was already rotting and it smelled really horrid, it also was very mangled.
“Fuck, Lizzy...”
He let tears escape his eyes, saddened and struck by grief. Elizabeth was dead and she was for a while now. He didn’t even notice that Baby closed her cavity and came closer. She was also struck by grief, remembering who M/n was.
She needed his help. She wanted to go HOME. She wanted her Daddy, Brothers and him back ! She was so scared and alone... She HATED it ! She should have listened to her Daddy...
“I’m so sorry Lizzy. We tried to find you and there was no trace of your whereabouts. Mike forgot his pills and thought he hallucinated, Evan was too scared to tell us, we didn’t check Baby, because we thought you didn’t go near them anyways, we didn’t see you on the security cameras and the police stopped trying to find you after a while. I am so sorry. I failed you as a Dad...”, M/n babbled in grief.
Circus Baby’s eyes widened in shock. So her Daddy and M/n were serious.
“We planned the wedding a month ago and...and you have two new siblings too. Alex and Penelope. You would have loved them, Lizzy. I bet you would have loved to support your Daddy through that difficult time as he gave birth to them. Evan and Mike were so brave and supported him, they were with him in the same room, comforting him. You would have been so proud.”
At that Baby couldn’t stay silent anymore. It hurt her that M/n thought she was gone. She wanted to go home and meet her new siblings, wanted to know what else she missed out on, wanted to be there when they will marry...
“D-Dad...”, Baby stuttered out.
M/n froze and whipped around, seeing Baby right behind him. He sprung up with Lizzy in his arms, glaring at the machine.
“Stop it ! You are NOT Lizzy ! You are the very machine that KILLED OUR LIZZY !”, M/n yelled outraged.
“Dad, p-please... I-I’m scared. I...I became Baby after I died. I don’t...I don’t know h-how it happened. Papa, please take me home. Please do something ! Help me, please !”, Baby said, scared and broken.
She fell to her knees, oil leaking out of her eyes. She was so scared that M/n will leave and not believe her. M/n was shocked.
“I wanna see Mikey again ! I wanna go back to Daddy a-and Evan ! I wanna go home, Papa ! I don’t wanna stay here ! It’s so dark and quiet in here... Papa, please, help me...”, Elizabeth begged.
M/n stared at Circus Baby.
“Lizzy ? Is that really you ?”
The machine nodded.
“My Daddy is William Afton, you are his Boyfriend, M/n L/n, I have two Brothers, Michael Afton and Evan Afton. Evan is very afraid of the Animatronics, Daddy made, and Mikey bullied Evan, because his friends forced him to do it. I was the youngest of the Family.”
M/n stared in absolute shock at her.
“You are definitely Lizzy... Fuck...How...how will I be able to...”, M/n was thinking hard about what to do.
If he told William three things might happen. A: William will go insane B: William will tell M/n that he has gone crazy and he will put M/n into an asylum C: William will lose his shit and believe M/n, trying to help Lizzy to look normal again and overwork himself again.
“Papa, please don’t leave me...”, Elizabeth begged.
“I am not planning to, but...I don’t know what to tell William. There are too many options that he would NOT understand...”
“Bring me home and then tell him. I am the proof, right ?”
M/n was in deep thought, then shook his head.
“No, we are going to Uncle Henry. He will know what to do and how to trick William into making something, without freaking out. As soon as he made something, Henry asked of him, to make you look normal, we will tell William. I can’t have him overwork himself again.”
Baby nodded. Together they left the Pizzeria and made their way to Henry’s.
-Time skip-
“You have gone crazy, M/n.”, Henry claimed agitated.
“I am not, Henry. Believe me, I thought I was going crazy, but Baby talks like a human, not robotic anymore, not in code and she knew things about the Afton Family, only Lizzy knew. PLEASE help us with her. I don’t know HOW she possessed the very thing that killed her, but I NEED you to convince Will that it would be for a new project. Anything that can make her look less robotic.”, M/n begged.
“How did you even know that Elizabeth died by Circus Baby ?”, he asked suspiciously.
“Mike and Evan saw it happen. Mike forgot to take his pills and thought it was just in his head and Evan was too scared to tell us. He only told me recently after the Babies were born. I wanted to investigate sooner, but we were all very busy with replacing Will, until he was better.”
At that Henry grew very concerned and less wary. He started to get the picture. He sighed and massaged his temple, already feeling a headache to arrive soon.
“Fine, I will help you.”, Henry then said.
“Thank you, Henry ! Thank you.”, M/n thanked him relieved.
Then small footsteps were heard and Charlie appeared. She looked around the corner.
“Dad ? Why is CB here ?”, she asked her Father.
“Hi Charlie !”, Baby/Elizabeth greeted.
Charlie stared at the robot and Henry sighed.
“Circus Baby is here, because Elizabeth is with her. Don’t tell Uncle William, okay, Sweetheart ?”, Henry asked.
“Okay !”
“Thank you, now go play.”
Charlie left quickly. As she was out of earshot, Henry turned back to M/n and Circus Baby.
“If this is a trick, I will kick your ass, M/n.”, Henry warned.
“I promise it is not.”, M/n swore with honesty.
Henry sighed and got out a Blueprint from his top shelf, Charlie couldn’t reach. He opened it and let M/n and CB take a look.
“I call it an Illusion Disk. They are supposed to change the appearance of the Animatronics. Recently, some children asked for Animatronics that can change their looks on the stage, like in some Movies, where the Characters suddenly wear different clothes, without ever going away to change into them, you know ? I’ve sat on them for almost 3 years now, without William knowing. Maybe...if I get his help on them and beat a bit around the bush to make him believe that it is only for the Pizzeria, he might find a way to make one of these with way better features. Will is a genius, I don’t doubt him on that.”, Henry explained.
“Henry...You. Are. A. GENIUS ! Thank you ! Oh my Gawd, if this works, Lizzy will look normal again and Willy will be so happy again !”, M/n cheered.
“Wait....Will isn’t happy ? I thought he got over Lizzy.”
“He...he didn’t. He still blames himself and gets frequent Nightmares, I try my best to avoid them to happen.”
“Oh Lord...”, Henry said softly.
M/n looked away, not wanting Henry to see how helpless M/n felt.
Henry went to the phone he had and dialed William’s number. He picked up after two rings.
“Henry ! What do you need, Pal ?”, William asked happily.
“Hey, Buddy. Can I come over in a bit ? I have a new invention, I think you will love, to make with me.”
“Oh, uhm...Sure ! By the way...do you know where M/n went ? Mike and Evan said that they don’t know and he is nowhere in the house and he also didn’t leave any letter behind that told me where he went... I am worried. Mike said he didn’t see M/n in almost two hours.”, William asked worried.
Henry side eyed M/n, who had a face of guilt.
“I think he went to Fredbear’s. He said he wanted to check on everything, just to make sure everything was okay. He might have just forgotten to inform you, I will drive there and pick him up, then come over, okay ?”, Henry lied.
“Yeah...o-okay. Thank you Hen.”
“No problem, Will.”
Then Henry hung up and he glared M/n down.
“You didn’t leave any message to him, so he WON’T worry ?! Are you stupid or are you brain dead ?!”, Henry yelled.
“I’m sorry ! I forgot ! I wanted to figure everything out as quick as possible !”, M/n quickly apologized.
M/n knew ONE thing...Henry was very protective of William. Since William’s wife was such a bitch, he got overprotective. The slightest discomfort William showed and Henry was ready to smack the offender with a bat. Henry was scary when he was like that.
“Next time this happens, I won’t hesitate, to smack you with a frying pan, M/n !”, Henry growled out.
M/n sweat dropped and had a nervous smile on his face. He might be a Killer if it is the only way to keep his Family safe, but even he was scared of Henry and his threats.
“U-understood, S-Sir !”, he nervously saluted.
-Time skip-
Henry arrived with M/n at the Afton Family’s house. As soon as William saw M/n, after opening the front door, he pulled him into a tight hug.
“Idiot ! Tell me next time !”, William scolded.
“Sorry, Love...I forgot to leave you a message. I won’t forget again.”, M/n said softly.
“Dumbass ! God knows what could have happened to you !”
“I’m sorry, Darling.”
“You better !”
Henry closed the front door behind him as William pulled M/n inside and pushed him into the Living room, forcing him to sit down on the couch. M/n looked at his Bunny in confusion.
“Bunny ? What are you planning to do ?”, M/n asked.
“You have a time out for at least ten minutes ! I don’t want to hear anything from you nor are you allowed to get up until ten minutes are over !”, William scolded.
M/n stared at his Lover with an agape mouth, shock evident. Then he closed it and pouted.
“Fair...”, he admitted and then stayed seated.
William stared at M/n, dumbfounded. He didn’t expect M/n to listen. He expected him to drag him to their Bedroom and to have some rough Love making instead, but nothing... Was it because Henry was here ? William wanted M/n to screw his brains out !
M/n stayed silent, looked at the wall in front of him and didn’t say anything at all. Why was he so...tame today ? Usually he would punish HIM for trying to command him around.
“So Will, I have the Blueprints. I am sure you will LOVE it. I bet you have some awesome ideas to them too.”, Henry pulled William from his thoughts.
“Oh ? Let me see.”, he said and stretched out his hand.
Henry gave William the Blueprint, he took a look at them and was confused.
“Tell me what this is supposed to be, Hen.”
“An Illusion Disk. Some kids are bored of the Animatronics just looking the same all the time and others are scared of them, so I thought about this ! They are supposed to make them look more human like, to change their design, without building anything to it. All that we would need is the Illusion Disk, program it and then we can just put an illusion OVER our Animatronics ! They would still look the same without them, but with them on, they will look different !”, Henry explained in excitement.
William’s eyes sparkled and had small stars in them. He LIKED the idea.
“Oh ? How long have you been planning on this, Hen ?”
“About three years. This is just the ground that I made, maybe you can add a bit more to its features, when we built them.”
“Impressive. They would have to look very real though, do you think we can built something like that ? Such Technology wasn’t used before, Hen.”
“I am VERY sure, Will ! You and me, we are VERY smart and intelligent men, after all ! We both have great ideas and they ALWAYS work out too ! We made Circus Baby’s and Fredbear’s together with ANIMATRONICS, Will ! That Technology wasn’t ever used before, back then, either ! We MADE it happen !”, Henry encouraged with enthusiasm.
William smiled brightly and nodded.
“Okay then ! Let us start in my office ! I can’t wait to start !”, William said with excitement.
Henry smiled and followed William. Henry turned around and made eye contact with M/n, winking at him. The plan was working...for now.
Michael entered the room soon enough, with Evan in tow. They both looked at M/n.
“What did you do in Circus Baby’s ?”, Mike asked.
M/n looked at him and then at Evan, who was looking very ashamed still. M/n smiled.
“Don’t tell your Dad, but I found Lizzy.”, M/n answered.
“What ?! Where is she ?!”, Michael yelled.
M/n shushed him and looked at the hall, waiting for the Basement door to open, but it didn’t. He sighed in relief.
“Something weird happened with Elizabeth. She doesn’t look like herself anymore, boys. Uncle Henry knows and is trying to help me out, by making something, called and Illusion Disk, so Lizzy will look normal again. Until then, do NOT tell your Dad. He will have a heart attack if he sees her the way she looks like right now.”, M/n explained.
“Is...is Lizzy hurt ?”, Evan asked.
M/n looked at Evan with a saddened face.
“Come here Evan, on my lap.”
Evan did as told and Mike stood in front of M/n. The Incubus held Evan so he doesn’t fall off of his lap.
“When Lizzy was ‘eaten’ what did you think happened with her, Ev ?”, M/n asked.
Mike looked at Evan in horror. Elizabeth was EATEN ?!
“I...I thought she d-died...”
M/n took a deep breath and looked Mike in the eye.
“The day it happened, Mike, you forgot to take your pills and thought you just hallucinated, as Baby pulled Lizzy into her stomach. It...it did really happen though and Evan was traumatized by it, then he was too scared to tell us anything. He told me after Alex and Penelope were born, what he saw. I went back to investigate.”
Michael stared at M/n in horror.
“Wh-what did you find ?”, he asked.
“What Evan, right now thought. I found her dead body, reeking of death for weeks.”
Michael took a step back, covering his mouth, face fully covered in horror.
“But that was not all of it, Mike. There it starts to get strange, my boys... Lizzy was still around. She...stayed.”, M/n added.
“Wh-what do you mean, Papa ?”, Evan asked.
Mike was just as confused.
“Circus Baby’s eyes changed from blue to green and she started to act like Elizabeth. She knew things about us, only Lizzy knew and she begged me to get her home, that she had no idea how she ended up possessing Circus Baby...she begged me to find a way home for her. I don’t know how something like this is possible, but I believe that Lizzy truly possessed Circus Baby. The very thing, that killed her. She is at Henry’s right now and we are trying to find a way to make her look more like...well...Lizzy again.”, M/n explained.
The boys stared, eyes wide.
“Dad, you do know how insane this all sounds, right ?”, Michael asked.
“I know, but the proof is at Henry’s house. She doesn’t act like a robot anymore, nor is she talking robotic like. She talked like a human being and moved as such too. It convinced me, that she is possessing CB. All we need is time, more proof and something to make her look normal again. When we have all of that, I will tell William and hopefully...he believes me a little bit and...is finally happy again. With everything advancing in technology, we even might modify her Disk over time and she could be a full human again, who knows ? I am praying that I found Lizzy’s soul, but can you blame me ? I want my Love to be happy again. Yes he loves Alex and Penelope, but...he still blames himself and feels empty about Elizabeth’s disappearance.”
Both the boys had pain in their eyes at that. They knew William was still not over Elizabeth’s sudden disappearance and he will NOT take it lightly, when he finds out that she died by his own Machine’s hands.
“Mike.”
“Yes, Dad ?”
“Do me a favor...for all of us, okay ?”
“What is it...?”
“Keep away from the Animatronics and keep Evan, Alex and Penelope away from them too. Protect them with your life, if Will and me aren’t around. What happened to Liz, is exactly the reason he tells everyone to stay away from his Machines. They can malfunction and if that happens, you can lose your life. They are safe from a certain distance, but don’t get too close to them. Stay at least three feet away from them. Can you do that for me ? Watch over your siblings ?”
Michael nodded with determination.
“I will do my best to keep my siblings safe.”, he replied.
“Thank you, Mikey.”
With that Mike sat down next to M/n and they started to watch Movies, not wanting William to hear anything, he wasn’t supposed to hear.
-With William and Henry-
William was already planning more features and what should be the best material to built the Illusion Disks with.
“It has to look and FEEL realistic. When you touch a thin arm, you can’t let it happen that the Illusion breaks and you feel a thick arm instead. That would be a bad green screening. You understand Hen ?”
“I do Will, but how do we make that ?”
“I will ask M/n ! He can program stuff very good, maybe he knows how to make it or he can give me some tips !”
“That is a great Idea, Will ! “
William smiled and noted it down.
‘I hope he won’t find out, that we are only making these now for his daughter, who became a literal Circus Clown...’, Henry thought in nerves.
William would so beat the shit out of them, if he finds out, BEFORE they can show him that CB is possessed by Lizzy....
“Hen, you with me ?”, William asked.
Henry snapped out of his thoughts and nodded.
“Yup, all ears, old friend.”
“Good.”
With that William continued to add and explain why he added more features. Henry listened in all the time, but his nerves never calmed down. He was scared shitless if William will find out...
Hopefully he will not find out too soon. ;)
