◢ Random Scenarios from the darkest pits of hEck 〈 2023 〉 ◣

ᘛ Drawn faces ᘚ

Then, before Bonnie could decide on walking around them, Mangle swiftly hopped right into a straighter position, ever-joyously uttering the other's name as though they'd found great treasure. The other in return .. well, if he had a face, one would for sure find the emotion of .. puzzlement ...

"We've been searching left and right, up and down; all over for you, and you just now show up-!"

Silence in return. For a couple seconds the rabbit just stared at them odd. And, right when he tilted his head along the act of speaking up, his words were cut off only at an, "Uhh--" as the Mangle wasted no time in gripping at his hand and yanking at that to pull him along, resulting in the male's prior reaction morphing to a slight yelp, even.

"We've something very important to show you!" aand, at hearing that, since his hand was in the trap of the dismantled fox's hold, he couldn't do anything but get dragged along. More so, it just mildly raised his for-the-moment lowered sense of agitation.

The vulpine led him on until reaching one of the bathrooms, with that paper still in their other hand. They'd preferred the place because of the mirrors. Though, the sad part was, the area was currently dark, and Bonnie in darkness grows blind. So, upon entering, when he could see nothing, he grunted a, "You've brought me to see darkness? What's with the mocking on a disability!?"

Hearing so, the amber hue of the fox somewhat brightened in realization, aand, a bit of an embarrassed feeling, before they instantly uttered in response a, "No no- It's not that at all. We forgot you can't see in the dark. We're sorry,"

As the faceless male grumbled a, "Yeah, right," at that, he also tugged at his own arm to free his hand of their hold, which the Mangle swiftly allowed then. After, just before they could find the light switches in there, they took the paper in their front hand, shifted closer to the other a bit to set it on his faceless head. All as they began working on that, they also told the rabbit mascot to not move so much, at least until they announced what they were doing to have been over.

Bonnie, was really not seeming to be quite the fan of this, and his folded arm indicated that. He's been mockingly decorated by the Toy mascots before for Easter purposes, and he hated the thing so much. If this was something similar to that, he'd make sure to slap the white-pink animatronic a time or two. Plus, this involved the other getting a bit too informal in terms of bending his ears here to there to simply slip something over them, aand, he wasn't enjoying.

Pretty soon, this 'torture' was over, and the Mangle's slight chuckle indicated it. After that he only picked their scraping movement around, accompanied by a few eventual clicks, and the bathroom area lighting up shortly after.

As he shook his head to adjust his vision, Bonnie at first found out his sight was covered by a light brown mass wherever he looked, and he could see nothing but just that. That took no time in making him feel a bit off, his tone suggesting it .. "What have you done-?"

Luckily, Mangle took note of it too, and had just mouthed a short, "Oh, we forgot-" before .. well, in short words it was the sound of ripping paper, and two holes were poKed in at where they could see the red pinpricky sensors, in an instant allowing for him to see more than just brown paper again. The second he processed this, he just rushed over to the mirror to check what the other had even done, and .. well, his reaction was ... a pause ...

To think it was just a paper bag .. heh ... Mangle had even bothered to take the time to draw a faCe on that. It sure might not have looked like the most accurate thing he remembered of his face when he'd possessed it, but .. well, couldn't help but appreciate the effort, at least .. wordlessly, anyway. The good part was, luckily, Mangle had gotten it to be the exact size as his head. It wasn't covering the entirety of it from behind or something as well; the paper was just hanging over his faceless side of the head, with the help of his ears.

For a good minute, the male examined the sight on the mirror, and the jumble of parts was left with nothing but quizzically examining him, in wait of any positive response. It was really at the sudden jab of their inner voice speaking that they did anything else, at first reacting with a flinch.

"Why not just tell him how you feel?" the smug lilt of that tone went unacknowledged by them, as the wording was what caught them first, and almost as if they'd figured the rabbit would've heard that too, they snarled at them to shut up. Now, to an outsider, it more appeared to have been directed at nothing, hence when they snapped out of that, they found Bonnie, staring right back at them. At the first second, they presumed he heard their inner voice say what it had, and so ended up returning that stare with much of an anxious feeling creeping up, causing them to even shrink slightly with a nervous laugh.

It was only when the rabbit simply inquired with a tilt of his head a, "What was that for?" that they somewhat assumed he might not have heard, though just to be sure, they countered that with their own, "What was what for-?"

"Your .. display of anger-?" If he had eyes, you'd find him squinting, but I guess his tone was enough to imply he'd asked that as if it was very obvious, even if to Mangle, it wasn't, and only theN had they figured he was referring to the earlier snarl. Now, an even bigger sense of embarrassment flushed their entire frame into it.

"Oh, that was just an outburst at nothing. Don't worry about it .." they answered that with such a casual flick of their hand that anyone there would be convinced by that. Bonnie wasn't though, simply because, it might have been a little concerning if the white-pink mascot had directed that at nothing, as ... who does that-¿

Anyway, he didn't bother questioning more on it, however, and soon only shook his head, before turning around and taking his leave from the place. His abrupt departure led the Mangle's flusteredness to wear off within a flash, topping over another feeling, that being of, well .. question.

They swiftly made their way to tail after the faceless-male-with-a-half-cut-paper-bag-facE, addressing him pretty soon enough again with his name uttered, and a, "Wait- You didn't tell me your opinions about the facE though!"

Aand, in return, they paused when the other did the same amid his approach towards the Parts & Service, looking to them from over his shoulder. Then, the Mangle's momentary nervousness that the silence from him had resulted in shifted forms to, something of a warmth, almost, as he'd given the answer required, in form of the words, "It's ... commendable .. Thanks,"

With that he was off again, only leaving them in a sense of .. well, we'll just say, surprise, joy, every happy feeling all at once. For the first time, he'd appreciated something of theirs, and, even if his tone sounded flat and a small percent sarcastic, it hadn't kept them from reckoning the exact opposite ...
