(Author's note: Apparently, the best way to get godly artwork from Shu and/or Pearl is to drop a Reader-insert fic. This is their song btw.)

As a fresh highschool graduate, you assumed that you had seen the worst the world had to offer. How could you have predicted that your first summer job would become a horror movie?

BANG BANG BANG. Metal slamming against your last line of defense. Soulless blue eyes looking through your office window. In the corner of the cramped cage you called your office, you whispered a silent prayer. Then, you look at your tablet.  

Five percent?! But it’s only 3 a.m!

You hear a robotic chuckle from behind the door. You look up from the tablet to glance at him. His face can’t contort to make a smug expression, but you can sense the satisfaction he gets from your terror.

4 a.m; two percent!

One percent-

NO- NO- C’MON!

You jump from your corner to station yourself by the right door.

DUUUUUUU….

Everything goes dark. Despite the fact He’s standing a foot away from you, He just-

Smiles.

Without thinking, you take a step outside.

He lunges.

You scream, and scramble down the hallway as He crashes to the floor with an awful CRASH! It makes your ears ring. 

As you dash through party room one, you hear scraping noises; He’s getting back up. Even though it would make life easier for you to leave through the entrance, He would have trouble trying to tail you out the back door. He can’t fit through the back door, so He’d have to waste time getting to and breaking through the front to catch you.

CLUNK CLUNK CLUNK.

Oh shit!

You’re forced to run into the arcade.

As quietly as possible, you scurry to a corner of out-of-order cabinets and hide between them. You get tangled  in scratchy wires that coil around your limbs like tentacles as you shuffle in a crouch. It’s an uncomfortable position, but getting out alive is far more important.

Shuffling…clunking…

It sounds… close, too close for comfort.

…Something’s coming towards you.

Someone is standing in front of you.

You look up, praying it’s human.

It’s HIM.

“PEek-A-a-A-boO.” His voice is filled with static, and cannot agree on a pitch.

You hear a clicking noise as He grabs hold of the wires and squeezes them.

A spark-

You feel a sensation like a million knives stabbing you and smell something both metallic and smoky.

You black out.

July 1993

“Frieeend! Whatcha reading~?”

You sighed, “A shonen magazine.”

“Oh, okay.”

You knew Reve wanted your attention, but for whatever reason, he’d beat around the bush instead of telling you straight up. Like when he used to leave candy in your office instead of asking to be friends. …Are you guys friends?

Not even four pages later, Reve called out to you in a needy whine. “Can we cuddle~?”

“It’s too hot for that!” you retorted. During your shifts, the air conditioners were cut off to save electricity. The only thing keeping you from the edge of a heatstroke was the tiny fan on your desk. It wasn’t much help though, you had to pop at least two buttons so you could breathe. “Tell my manager to let me have AC then we’ll discuss cuddling.”

Reve responded with a squeaky, robotic huff. Cute.

He stayed quiet for a while, probably stewing, as you flicked across camera to camera. When you viewed the kitchen camera, labeled AUDIO ONLY. You hear…shuffling, clunking…? Wait- is it coming from behind you?

Two frigid mechanical arms wrap around you and your chair. They feel like an ice pack.

“Holy shit, why do you feel like a fridge?” you asked in awe.

“My processor pumps a coolant through my body!” Reve said proudly. “The mechanics have to make sure I don’t overheat. I’d explode or somethin’!”

You laughed off an imaginary scenario of Reve going KA-BOOM like Wile. E Coyote. Your amusement was cut short when one of Reve’s hands left your middle and traveled upwards. The hand stopped on the left side of your chest. You trembled when Reve’s segmented hand pressed down on where your heart should be. Your breath hitched. It’s just…a little off-putting.

“Y’know, a mechanic once told me…” he tapped your chest with a finger. “This keeps up constant maintenance inside of human bodies…what is it?”

‘Constant maintenance’? Oh- they were talking about homeostasis.

“It’s beating.” Reve murmured. “Badum, badum, badum…is it a processor?”

“Oh no no no. It’s an organ.” you said. “It pumps blood around my body without any commands, it just does.”

Reve’s pupils dilated in curiosity. “What’s blood for?”

“Well, um, what I can tell you from bio class is: it gives me feeling in my limbs, kills infections and patches up cuts and scrapes.”

“Functionality, troubleshooting, and repairs…” Reve muttered to himself. His fingers still lingered on your chest. “Humans say this organ beats fast when you’re in love.”

“Yeah, in love songs.” you squeaked.

“Yours is.” Reve’s tone sounded menacing at this point. He grinned, “Do you love me?”

“No-no-I’m just nervous, that's all!” you stammered. “I mean- I like you, but love would be kind of a strong word!”

Reve got a little too close to your face for comfort.

He stared at you.

You stared back.

…

…

Does he want you to shit your pants-?

Reve pulled away, giving you space to breathe. You gasped, and sat up properly in your chair.

“Sorry if I made you uncomfy.” Reve said, twiddling his fingers. “But I do like seeing you squirm a little- if that makes any sense.”

…Is he a sadist?

Did you awaken something in this animatronic, or did the animatronic awaken something in you?
