Big Name Feelings - 8/16

what are they looking at? find out (with a second drawing!!) at the end of this chapter :)

As far as Aziraphale was concerned, Crowley didn’t gift him a bowtie, not really. He gifted him that smile, that smug little grin as he slid his visa across the counter and tapped the receiver without so much as glancing at the price tag. It made him shine with pride, for all the work he’d done to earn that shiny black card, and palpable satisfaction for the small opportunity to share his wealth. Azirphale wanted to kiss it off him, and had to concentrate to bury his sigh deep where neither of them would hear it. “I have one stipulation,” Crowley announced once the ties were officially theirs. “Oh good, a condition for the gift I don’t want.” Crowley continued as if he hadn’t heard, “You have to wear it now. Don’t make me carry it around all day.”

over the past couple of days i’ve been thinkin of this headcanon i’m kinda hooked on now.

fnaf 1 takes place during the 90s and i would imagine sister location takes place in the early 80s, like 83ish? i like to think that michael was either in his late teens (17-19) or early 20s (21-23) when he was scooped, but at the same time, he also worked as an assistant to his dad and was often at the diner making repairs, helping him with things, etc. now enter phone guy–phone guy is the same age as michael, if not a year younger. he’s either a high school senior or a new adult who has no idea how to do the Adult Thing™ (again, depending on the age) who is super passionate about the characters and is a flat-out fanboy. so he gets a job at the diner and starts off as a typical employee, and eventually gets the hang of it and his anxiety over it starts to bubble away. 

so our phone friend is busing tables like any normal day, and it’s hella busy and he’s running around and isn’t really focusing on anything except his job, which explains how he misses it at first. obviously afton would stop in quite often to do paperwork and check up on things, and he was there that day, but phone guy wasn’t really paying attention. but when he was leaving the kitchen with pizzas, he happens to catch a glance of someone who wasn’t a.) afton or b.) intimidating looking businessmen in suits, so he steps backwards to peek around the corner. and!!!! hoo boy, ther is a CUTE. BOY over there!!!

phone guy is like, awestruck at how beautiful this boy is to him and is stuck staring at him smack in plain sight, but he’s too immersed into listening to the businessmen talk to afton to notice. he looks extremely friendly and smiles every once and a while with a nod of the head, genuinely caring, and is also really damn attractive to him and phone guy at this point is like. holy fuck who is this boy?? is he a god?? i think he might be a god

tryin to play it cool, he gets the attention of a coworker and is like ‘hey who is he….? never seen him before, nope, just curious who he is, no reason why…..’ and someone explains that 1) he’s been around plenty of other times, he was just either in a suit or holed in an office were you not paying attention and 2) that’s afton’s son. and phone guy’s heart hits his feet bc his boss’s son…? that was dangerous. but was he gonna try and get a boyfriend anyway??? he absolutely fuckin was

but here’s the thing–he’s soooo nervous to talk to him. he doesn’t talk to him that day because he’s too intimidated by him but the next time michael’s around, he has to make tweaks to a spring suit and is shoved in a back room all by himself. phone guy floats by the doorway way more than he should have to get himself a good look of him and to also try and get himself to walk in and make small talk. scopin out muscles, noting how little wisps of hair fall in his face as he works, admiring his really blue eyes that were super pretty wow?? but he can’t talk to him, because he was so cool and good looking and nice and phone guy was so nerdy and shy and couldn’t possibly be his type. so he avoids him quite a few more times and the crush gets even bigger the more he avoids it, and michael notices this one worker staring at him out of the corner of his eye every once and awhile; if he ever tries to look though, they’d turn bright red and stumble with whatever they had in their hands, nearly tripping flat on their face in an attempt to get back to work. michael would be confused, but would shrug it off, because usually his dad would appear out of thin air every time to whisk him away because he needed him for something.

eventually though, michael needs to wear spring bon for a party and phone guy is the one who has to help him. so now he’s forced to talk to him, and phone guy’s heart is in his throat the entire time, beet red and averting his eyes any time he feels michael looking at him. he figures out his name and repeats it over in his mind, and michael notes what his was, because he seemed nervous–maybe he didn’t have any friends? did nobody here talk to him? michael does not get the hints at ALL and kinda forgets about him until he has to come back in another day. he sees phone guy with his back turned to the door, fiddling with something random with his shoulders tight, and michael thinks hard about what his name was before calling one out, hoping he was right. he was!! phone guy turns sheepishly, red faced yet again, and michael waves to him to say hello in an attempt to make him feel more at ease, but doesn’t really talk to him otherwise. he does this a couple more times and notices that phone guy comes around him more often each day that he says hi, until they both become acquaintances. they learn little bits and pieces about each other and phone guy helps him get in the suit any time he needs to and they eventually become friends. phone guy is less nervous around him, but he still gets flustered every once and awhile. because michael is precious, he still doesn’t understand why, until he starts to feel kinda weird around him. he finds himself studying the anxious (now manager!!) and his mannerisms, the endearing messiness of his hair, how he never showed himself to the customers unless a smile was plastered on his face, no matter how nervous he was. it takes him a while to put two and two together, but one night at home he’s thinking about it until eventually he realizes, holy shit, am i in love with this guy?? i think i am, wowowow, this is different, he’s really cute??

michael never really liked anybody before, so he had no idea what that would feel like. besides, he had always thought he was supposed to be attracted to girls, but they never really interested him. but this was strong, and now all of a sudden he was the one getting red and acting different around phone guy instead. they both avoid acknowledging anything (even though it’s painfully obvious now to both) until eventually everything comes to a peak late one night and phone guy admits how he had felt about him since he had first seen him, burying his face in his hands and swallowing the lump in his throat and hoping michael wouldn’t hate him for it. what if he wasn’t gay? what if he was, but phone guy was just too ugly for an actual angel like him? he can’t bring himself to look up and is close to tears in fear that he ruined his only friendship before the other admits that he had felt the same way but wasn’t sure how to bring it up. they become boyfriends, but only under the condition that they would keep it secret–michael was afraid that his dad would disown him for it, so they agree that they’d only show affection when they were alone.

things stay like this for a while before they start feeling more comfortable with each other, and they’re able to get away with things like small pecks on the cheek when running into each other between rooms, holding hands for brief moments when standing in a clump close enough to sneak it, or kissing while phone guy helped michael get into a suit in one of the costume rooms. michael would go over his house all the time (never the opposite) and spend the nights there, trying to give themselves as much time they could possibly get. they succeed in keeping it secret (partially; william figures it out right away but chooses not to say anything, since he was too concerned in planning his actions out to really care). they remain boyfriends up until michael disappears. phone guy is heartbroken but stays with the company, becoming a trusted employee of william’s and is often left in charge of the place whenever he’d have to leave town. phone guy stays with his boyfriend’s family’s company all the way up until he dies over the phone in the 90s.

yes, sure, they’d be horribly starcrossed, but i just like the idea of there being a cute little beacon in such a sad story. wonderful boyfriends, an anxious nerd and and a sweet son. i just want them to be HAPPY and have GOOD ENDINGS

tl;dr: michael and phone guy are the same age. phone guy has a huge ass crush on michael but doesn’t know how to approach him about it. eventually they become friends and then decide to date, but keep it secret to protect michael from his dad finding out. even after michael disappears, phone guy stays with his family’s company until he is killed in fnaf 1
