“I w-would r-rather get them for you,” Gabe said, smiling. “O-or at least for your Fredbear.” They scooted closer to Plushtrap, enough to give him a little hug. “You b-both deserve to be s-safe and happy. F-Fredbear is enough to take care of me. A-and sometimes I hate l-leaving a place, but sometimes there are f-friendly people there. Like you!”
Plushtrap quietly said “me?” low enough not to interrupt Gabe. Though he hugged the plushie head tighter “Fredbear will just get ripped again.” His voice sounded like he was pouting. “Ha! If they were used on me, I’d become a pretty animatronic like I was! But I’d be brainless again…”
Gabe hugged the small rabbit, and it took Scraps a moment to realize what he was doing. It clicked in his head and he wrapped his arms around them. He hugged them tighter a second later. “Part of me wants you to stay a really long time. I could protect you and help take care of you. But part of me knows the nightmares would want to get at you.”
“Th-the nightmares are scary,” Gabe admitted, “b-but even they c-can’t hurt me since I’m dead, r-right? I mean, they can’t k-kill me, at least.” They didn’t know about ‘hurt’, though. Sometimes Gabe swore they could feel pain when something tried to hurt them. But maybe it was just phantom pains, in whole-body form. “I would still want to st-stay away from them.”
There was a long silence as Scraps thought on what Gabe just said, finally he broke that “When it comes to Nightmare, don’t say he can’t hurt you.” He said softly, letting his tattered arms slipped free of them. “He can mess with and change things.” Those long ears drooped as the pout could be heard in his dry, little voice. “Like pretty much making anyone in the house a play thing or a chew toy!” His voice raised a bit as he said that, but barely cracked over a whisper. “But I’ll keep you safe while you’re here, okay?”
A moment later there was a sound. Soft, irregular thumps and a loud scratch against the wall below them. The sound only muffled by the floorboards and insulation that separated the attic from the floor below. Scraps’ ears perked up and he put a finger to his lips quickly. Whatever the noise was, it had the small rabbit’s eyes glued to the trap door of the attic.
