The RDA is a busy place to work in. On Earth, I had a lot to do already. On Pandora, my chores seemed to double. Luckily I’ve been slightly transferred from the research department to… whatever department this is.
I studied Na’vi species. Their body structure, muscles, skeletons, genes, and organs. The psychology too. Their language, culture and behaviour.
Now, I no longer have the desk job which I am thankful for. I was moved and assigned to the newly created recombinant team, to give them regular checkups and make sure everything was okay.
Part of my job now was to give them physiotherapy. Not all of them needed it but even the smallest complaints of pain or pressure could be a fault in the system so I needed to look at it.
Today, I had Mansk assigned to me. It was a check-up with an included massage because he wasn’t sleeping well.
I had gotten to know most of the recom’s pretty well. Mansk was one of them. We’ve had a few previous appointments and I enjoy talking with him. He’s the only person who asks me questions back when he comes in. I definitely don’t expect anyone to do that but it does often make my day. Of course, I don’t tell Mansk that because I want to keep things professional but I look forward to having him come in. I’ve also never massaged him before so let’s see how it goes.
Lyle came in for one yesterday. Not because he needed it, he’s in good condition. He insisted he needed a massage so I just let it happen and he fell asleep before we were even half done.
Anyway, I knew what I was doing. This was my job, after all, so there was no need to be nervous. It’s all going to be okay, he’s just going to take his… shirt off. And I will not stare OR make it awkward because I’m a professional at what I do and I’m still trying to get a raise so I can’t have anything going wrong!
He’s meant to be here in a few minutes so I get the room ready by putting away anything that wasn’t needed for this appointment. Since I wasn’t working in a laboratory anymore, I didn’t have to wear the stupid coat or the gloves. My clothes were more comfortable and that was part of the reason I preferred this over my previous job.
The big and heavy metal door beeps and the light above it flashes green instead of red. They automatically open and outside it is a colleague in a lab coat and half of what I’m assuming is Mansk.
Yes, the doors were absolutely humungous for me but apparently still not big enough for the Na’vi body. The person holding the clipboard direct the soldiers here and they nodded before turning to leave.
Mansk slowly leaned down, tilting his upper body slightly forward and stepping into the room. At least the ceiling was high enough.
“Don’t hit your head.” I say, smiling and quickly arranging my desk.
Mansk grins and breathily answers “Yeah.” before scanning the room.
“Hi, welcome back.” I greet him and he smiles.
“Hey.” he nods and I point to the large chair.
“Take a seat there and I’ll be right with you.” I say, finishing what I was doing.
Mansk listens, walking over to it and taking a seat while moving his tail out of the way. He always paid extra attention to it here because he didn’t want to knock anything over.
“Alright, I’m ready.” I say, turning around with all the necessary clean tools.
He nods again. I noticed he didn’t talk much, only when it was important. Yet he would still go out of his way to ask me things.
“How are you feeling?” I ask, stopping on his side and placing a few things on the trolly next to the chair.
“Alright.” he said, straightening his posture on the seat. “How are you?” he asks.
I chuckle and a smile forces itself onto my face.
“I’m alright too, thanks for asking.” I say and he smiles. “You know this check-up is about you, not about me, right?”
The corner of his mouth lifts up into a slight smirk. “Yeah, I know.” He says and I see myself in the reflection of his shades.
“Do you mind if we take those off?” I ask, motioning to his sunglasses. “You can put them on again when we’re done.”
He looks away and nods, taking them off and holding on to them. I smile.
“Thanks.”
I start with the check-up by examining his reflexes. The good old snapping next to the ears to see if they react. Everything worked well.
Next, I need to check the eyes. I reach for the torch and then gently place my hand on the left side of his face to guide him to look towards me.
I notice how his eyes widen as he watches me intently but lets me do what I need to.
I turn on the torch to its weakest level and shine it in his right eye. He squints a little and his pupil shrinks. The other eye does the same. It’s healthy. I keep his head there while I put the torch away and I feel how his eyes continue to linger on me.
I face him again, noticing that they are slightly red in the corners. Probably from lack of sleep. His eyes keep flicking back and forth, probably looking at mine but I refuse to let myself get distracted. Not that I didn’t want to. If I could I would sit down in his lap and stare into his eyes all day but I don’t want to make him uncomfortable because that would clearly be crossing the line and I would probably get fired.
I smile, gently tapping his cheek with my fingertip in praise that it’s all good and I step away.
“What happened to your face?” Mansk suddenly asks me and I remember the small scratch I have.
I grin at the memory. “Me and a friend were messing around with paperwork and she threw some of it at me. It’s just a papercut, no biggie.”
“Important paperwork?” he asks, smiling and looking up at me.
“Don’t tell your Colonel or the General.” I slyly say and he chuckles, dropping his head and shaking it.
I then scan over his braid, picking it up and checking whether everything is in its place. I pull it over his shoulder to make sure that it's still flexible like it should be. A Na’vi virus side effect is a stiff cord which is extremely painful, so luckily he doesn’t have that.
He watches how my hand glides over his braid and has to suppress a shiver which I don’t notice.
I move it down his queue and pinch the end of it gently while making sure he isn’t showing any signs of discomfort. The braid was very sensitive and it had to be handled gently or else it could potentially cause some disruption in the body.
He stayed still so I examined the small strands that moved as if they had a life of their own. I didn’t touch them, I just looked. As long as they move, everything is fine.
“Good, everything looks fine.” I say and flash him a reassuring smile before taking all the tools back to the cupboard.
“You said your back hurt, right?” I ask him, to make sure I didn’t get it wrong.
“Yeah.”
“Did something happen?”
“Nah, I just slept badly.”
I nod, writing it down. “Okay, then please remove your shirt and you can lie down over there.”
He nods and I turn away to give him a little privacy just to keep everything comfortable as I finish my notes. I get out the oil that helps with cramps and sore muscles from the cupboard next to me while I hear him shuffling around and laying down.
I turn around and walk to him with the bottle of oil in my hand. Since the mattress for him to lay on is the height of his waist, that makes it as tall as me so I have steps to climb on.
Mansk turns his head to the side and grins. “You have steps?”
“Yep. We don’t talk about it.” I say, quickly shutting him down.
“It’s cute.” he mumbles and the words make my heart race but I’m so in the character of the version of Y/N that doesn’t give a shit, that I can respond quickly.
“I feel like a Chihuahua.” I say, making him chuckle again.
I climb up and kneel next to him. Mansk is resting his head on his arms again and his tail is swaying around.
“You have to keep your tail down for the next 20 minutes.” I say and he lifts his head.
“Still too?” Mansk asks, seeming a little worried about that. The tail was hard for them to control.
“No, just try to keep it flat down if possible.” I laugh and he drops his head in defeat before nodding. I knew he struggled to get it under control too.
He managed though and I climbed on top of him, placing my legs on either side of his waist.
His tail was beneath me so I refused to sit down. Mansk’s ears were flattened back, focusing on me instead of pointing forwards.
“Just relax now.” I say with a smile and he answers with a soft “Mhm”.
I flick open the bottle, pouring some oil on my palm before rubbing it between both my hands to warm it up.
I then place my hands on his bare back and notice him flinch a little. Goosebumps rise on his skin making me smile but I say nothing.
I start working on his back, feeling his tense muscles and focusing on loosening them.
As the minutes go by, Mansk grows more relaxed and lets his shoulder slump.
(I made art for this :D click here)
Occasionally, he sighs and I smile because it makes me feel better about my work when I know that he isn’t uncomfortable or in pain.
I start telling him about the crisis I had with paperwork this morning because I know Mansk prefers listening over talking and he also prefers listening over silence.
So when I speak and rant, he listens and gives me his attention and it often helps me blow off some steam. Sometimes he adds things like nods or agreeing noises or even questions.
“Why was the deadline at 2:00 in the morning?” he asks, it sounding like a mumble though because his head is between his arms.
“Ask my bitch of a boss. Never giving us a normal time to do anything. That’s why your appointment is this late.” I complain and I feel him chuckle.
I work my way up his back, not leaving out a single spot. Apparently, I found a good area because Mansk is now letting out a few groans and his ears have drooped to the side.
The noises he is making hypnotise me and I can’t get enough of it. I’ve zoned out a few times already, daydreaming while massaging him. Mansk is now suppressing them and it makes me wonder whether I did something wrong or whether he felt a change in the atmosphere.
I also noticed he was no longer as relaxed as before and I tried to redo what I had previously done to ease the tension but it didn’t work.
That didn’t stop me from continuing though. We had a few minutes left and I was working on his shoulders right now.
Suddenly, I felt something brush up against the back of my leg and turned to see that Mansk’s tail was no longer down on the mattress.
I was about to say something about it when it suddenly caressed my hip and then seemed to try and wrap around my thigh. I froze for a split second, watching it move.
Was he doing this on purpose or was his tail once again acting up against his will?
I tried ignoring it, speeding up the massage because we were almost done. Maybe Mansk fell asleep?
Then, I felt his tail brush the inside of my thigh which was so close to my crotch and it made me jump. I suddenly grew extremely nervous and decided to stop.
“Okay, you’re all done.” I say, being so thankful that I didn’t stutter and trip over my words.
I climb off Mansk, putting the bottle of oil away and when I turn back to him, he hasn’t moved at all.
“You can come down now.” I say, trying to encourage him to get up because his appointment is finished. Not that I had anyone after him, he was the last person.
He runs a hand over his face and suddenly he seems frustrated.
“I uhm- I can’t… get up.” he says and his words confuse me.
“Does it still hurt?” I ask and he shakes his head no but I’m already returning back to where I was before.
“Is it the same spot as before?” I ask and Mansk shakes his head and starts to panic slightly but keeps his composure as I climb back on him, running my hands down his back.
I notice how tensed up he is but he doesn’t seem sore anymore.
“I can prescribe you a cream to relieve muscle pain.” I say, looking over to my cabinet again.
Little did I know, Mansk needed to be relieved in a different way and of something else. But he would never dare tell me.
Mansk thought of you too highly. You were like an angel to him and he appreciated every second he got to spend with you. Yes, he had developed a crush but he was denying it even to himself. He didn’t want to ruin what you had.
Even though his new body was difficult to deal with and he had to put up with it needing more attention, he wouldn’t ever touch himself to the thought of you or anything like that. In his head, you were too good for him. He knew that if he got up, you would visibly see what had formed in his pants and he would probably kill himself or lock himself away forever if you would see him as some creep.
But all that holding back had the tension in him just build up and he was currently having a very hard time suppressing his feelings.
I lift my left leg up, ready to climb off of him but suddenly his tail is around my thigh and it’s keeping me there. I don’t move, wondering whether it will let go but it stays still, just holding me there.
“Mansk?” I ask and I notice his head is raised but he seems to be avoiding me.
In the next second, the tail tugs me down and I land on Mansk. My weight is now fully seated on his lower back and-
…the beginning of his tail is pressed up right against my clothed pussy. The contact makes my breath hitch and I watch the muscles on his back flex. He must feel it too.
Then, his tail moves and I gasp. His ears shoot to where my noise came from and he is gripping the edge of the mattress so tightly his knuckles have turned white.
The smell of you fills the air and Mansk is able to pick it up. It makes his pupils widen a little and he bares his fangs while fighting himself to not turn around and touch you.
I start to imagine what could be going on and while I can’t see his expression nor pick up any scent, I can feel how the atmosphere completely changes.
The shift leads me to a conclusion of why Mansk isn’t turning around and why he is so tense all of a sudden. But since I’m not sure, I don’t want to risk too much.
However, I will act on it slightly because I can see that his body language confirms my hypothesis and I’m the expert in that after all.
“Mansk.” I say, with my voice more confident now and no longer shaky. His ears twitch back before flattening out again. Yeah, he heard me.
I lift myself up a little while his tail still holds on to me.
“Turn around.” It almost sounds like an order and it seems to surprise him a little. This time he inhales a shaky breath.
“But uh- I can’t I have-”
“Do it now.” I add and I watch him swallow nervously before he complies. His tail becomes loose around my thigh and he slowly turns around, to lie on his back while I give him some space.
His face is tainted with an embarrassed blush, his ears are once again strained back and he refuses to meet my eyes. He’s just staring down at himself and he looks almost ashamed and guilty. I follow his gaze, letting my eyes trace down his bare torso until I see his problem. And with that, my theory is indeed confirmed.
Mansk had a boner and he was clearly embarrassed about it.
I inhale sharply and my lips part. I don’t know what to say but seeing him worked up like this is really doing it for me. I just need to know whether he feels like this about me or whether his body is just messing with him again.
I move back a little so that I’m not right above it. Mansk’s eyes flicker up while his cheeks continue to burn.
“Is this for me?” I ask with a smirk. “Or is it your Avatar messing up?”
Finally, Mansk looks at me. He looks like a puppy that just did something bad and is in trouble.
He’s been trying to come up with any plausible excuse to save himself from this situation but your words hinted at amusement and now he wasn’t sure whether he should lie to get out of this or see where it goes.
I notice he is hesitant so I decide to give him a little push. I move up, now hovering over his torso and staring down at him. Mansk watches me with wide blown eyes and perked-forward ears.
“Come on, you can tell me.” I smirk again, taking one hand and tracing it along his collarbone and down to his chest. He shivers beneath me and his expression is changing from being hypnotised to fighting himself.
“If you don’t want to I will leave.” I say, wanting him to know he has the option to get out of this if I really have misinterpreted this whole situation.
“No-” he breathes out and I watch how defeat floods him. He’s given up on holding back.
“Y/N I love you.” he blurts out and his words take me by surprise. I wasn’t expecting him to say that. I can see he’s still deeply blushing but he’s just staring at me like a lovestruck idiot at this point and I’m starting to love this.
“Yeah?” I ask, raising an eyebrow while a grin forms on my face.
“Yeah.” he almost whispers. His voice gave out for a split second and he sounds hoarse now.
“How much?” I tease, letting my fingertips dance on his glistening skin.
“So much.”
I just watch him in amusement. Who knew a big man like him would be so whipped and desperate?
“I need you so bad.” he adds and it almost sounds like a whine. Yep, he’s losing his barrier of being an emotionless and quiet soldier.
I chuckle, wrapping my fingers around his dog tag and leaning down to him.
“Magic word.” I say, thriving in the fact that I have so much control over him who is 3 times as big as me.
“Please.” he whispers and I grin. I lean down, keeping our faces just mere millimetres apart and then Mansk leans his head up and connects our lips.
I kiss him and rest my hands on his chest while his own start to wander my body. I let him touch my waist and face, but the rest will have to wait for later.
His hand travels down my back and once it passes my hip I pull away and smack it lightly. Mansk retreats his hand and stares up at me.
“Not yet.” I say and the words make him shiver again.
I sit back on him and let my hands glide over his torso.
Slowly I inch to the waistband on his pants and soon I am sitting on his upper thighs while his erection is straining his pants in front of me.
Mansk leans on his forearms to watch me and I grin at him again.
“Can I?” I ask, teasing his skin while dipping my fingertips beneath the fabric. He shakily sighs and nods his head.
“Words, baby.”
“Yeah…”
I slowly open and tug down his pants, thereby noticing he isn’t wearing a belt for once. I pull them down his thighs along with the underwear beneath and he sighs in slight relief when his erection is freed.
This time I gulp, staring at the size of it. It’s so big it blows my mind. I might have to rethink my strategy here.
Mansk notices and seems a little worried. “You don’t have to if you don’t want to.” he tells me and it warms my heart but the longer I see him like this the more I need him inside me.
“I want to.” I say, leaning forward and kissing him again. “You’re so beautiful.”
His ears perk forward and I take note that he likes the praise.
I then sit back again and wrap one hand around him. Mansk shudders and bites his lip and then I do the same with my other hand.
I stroke him a few times to test the waters and it seems to be working because Mansk is falling apart.
I smile to myself when I see how his mouth is hanging open a little and how his breathing gets heavier. He groans when I tighten my grip a little.
I lean down after collecting saliva on my tongue and lick over his tip. His teeth sink into his bottom lip and he tightly clutches his hands into fists again. I hear Mansk whimper and I continue to lick the tip of his cock, running my tongue along the slit where what I think is precum is forming.
I lick a long stripe from the base to the top before I wrap my lips around his tip and suck on him. Mansk throws his head back and his body shakes.
He’s been so desperate for your touch for so long and he refused to ever take care of himself or acknowledge it so now he’s so much more sensitive to you, he can’t help himself but already spill all over your hands.
Mansk is cumming and I try to swallow everything I can but the white ropes of cum are spurting out on me and my hands, it’s a mess.
He’s breathing heavily and I watch how his dick is throbbing in my hand. I myself and completely hypnotised by it and I wonder whether it’s going to go soft but it doesn’t.
Mansk has his head tilted back while he steadies his breath before he looks back at me.
“Can you do another round?” I ask, licking some cum off my hand and then licking my lips. The sight of that has Mansk feeling sure that he can do it.
“Fuck yeah.” he breathily says and I grin.
I sit back on my legs and pull my top over my head while he watches me with heart eyes.
I throw it to the side and quickly, my bra joins it on the floor. Mansk is speechless, still unable to wrap his head around the fact that you are doing this here with him.
My shorts and underwear are gone in the next second and Mansk sighs while letting his lust-drunk eyes rest on the newly exposed parts of your body.
He sits up once I’m naked but he keeps his hands on the side, not sure whether he is allowed to touch me or whether I even want that.
“You’re so cute.” I smile at him, sliding my hand over his head while one of my hands holds his cheek.
His cheeks heat up even more and he can’t suppress the big smile that formed on his face.
“Who’s making you blush this bad, huh?” I ask, in a teasing manner and he chuckles, dropping his head but doesn’t answer because we both know the answer.
I lean forward and connect our lips once again. This time we are closer and I arch my bare chest into him.
The make-out session is heavy and soon he builds up the confidence to touch me. It starts out small, with his fingertips lingering on my thigh. Then he holds my waist.
I grow impatient, wanting to feel more so I take his arm and wrap it all the way around me. Mansk presses me right against him, wanting to be as close to me as possible and he moves his kisses from my lips to my jaw before he starts to mark my neck in hickeys. I don’t even care if they will be visible, I need him more than anything right now.
I run my hands along his shoulders, appreciating every part of his body that I can and then my fingertips reach his braid and I let my hand glide down it. Mansk sighs into the crook of my neck and I decide that I need to feel him now.
I look down between us and grind myself down against him. He stops what he’s doing and relishes in the feeling before leaning back a little.
I watch as his hand travels between our bodies and he rubs the inside of my thigh before gliding his finger over my pussy. I whine, forgetting how good it felt to be touched like that. Maybe I needed this just as much as he did.
He was rubbing me and I rested my head on his shoulder, closing my eyes.
Before long, he pushes his finger halfway into me and I tensed up. It was obviously much bigger than my fingers and already stretched my walls a little but I tried relaxing again. He carefully pulled it out and repeated this action, thrusting it in a little further each time.
After a while, Mansk was fingering me knuckle-deep and then he added a second fingers and I held on tightly to his arm.
“Fuck-” I whimper and he just leans down and presses his head against mine in a form of comfort.
“You’re so pretty.” he whispers, making me blush. I hide my face by pressing it against his torso and he smiles.
I finally start to relax and it feels good but just then Mansk pulls his fingers out of me. I watch as he puts them in his mouth and licks them clean and it makes my heart skip a beat.
“God you taste amazing.” he groans, kissing my cheek before reaching for his dick which is almost pressing up against his stomach.
I lift my waist up a little more and Mansk supports me by holding my hip. He lines himself up with me, pressing his tip against my entrance.
“Go slow, please.” I say, a little worried about how it will feel.
“Yes ma’am.” he smiles, pressing his forehead against mine and rubbing his hand up and down my thigh.
Slowly I lower myself down and I feel the resistance. I adjust my position a little and push myself further down until finally, his tip pushes inside me.
Mansk’s mouth drops open and he relishes in the feeling of how I’m hugging him.
Even this would be fine with him. He just needs to make sure you feel good.
I clench my teeth together, stopping for a moment before letting myself sink down. The further inside me he goes the thicker he becomes and I’ve never felt anything like this before.
Mansk isn’t pushing me down at all, he’s letting me go at my own pace. Meanwhile, his eyes are fluttering closed and he’s trying to gather all his self-control to not spill just from how tight you are around him now.
I don’t manage to bottom out but neither of us expected that. He hit my cervix with his tip and he was just a little over halfway inside me.
I dig my nails into his skin, trying to fight back the discomfort and closing my eyes. Mansk notices and gets worried.
“I’m sorry…” he softly says, guiltily looking at me to make sure I’m still okay.
“Don’t be. I’ll be fine in a few minutes.” I say and give him a smile before readjusting myself on him.
“You feel so good.” he whimpers, cradling my body with one arm while holding himself up with the other.
I smile, glad that I can please him.
For the next two minutes, I just stay like that, needing to get used to him.
After that, it doesn’t feel like such an intrusion and I nod.
“It’s okay now.”I breathe out and his eyes shoot open and meet mine. He returns the nod and I slowly move up before letting myself sink down.
I set a slow pace and know that I won’t manage to keep it for long. Luckily Mansk helps me out by guiding my movements.
It starts feeling good and with time my legs turn to rubber and it’s Mansk who is moving me up and down his length. Both his hands are on my waist while mine rest on his shoulders and he’s effortlessly lifting me before pushing me down again. One would think that the person on top has control but that is definitely not the case.
As soon as the first moan leaves my lips, it encourages Mansk to pick up the pace a little.
His ears are once again strained back as he focuses on making us both feel good.
My eyes are glossy because I’ve never felt so full in my life and he was managing to hit all the good spots inside me at once.
“Mansk-” I moan, starting to feel hazy. “Don’t stop.”
He hisses, your words making a volcano of butterflies erupt in his stomach.
“Y/N- I can’t hold it much longer.” Mansk pants.
“It’s okay, I’m almost there…” I reply, feeling the tension build up in my lower abdomen. His hand dives between our bodies again and suddenly his thumb is rubbing against my clit.
I moan out his name again, letting my own head fall back while Mansk continues to fuck me down on him.
I feel his dick twitch and his eyes close as he chases his high. It’s all too much for me and with the next thrust, he pushes me over the edge.
My pussy clenches around him as if it weren’t already tight enough and it drives Mansk feral. He’s cumming right behind me, filling me up while I see stars. My body trembles while he presses us together again to keep us grounded in reality.
I gasp for air, leaning against him for stability while his hot breath fans against my back.
“Holy shit.” I whisper and he chuckles. I notice how his cum isn’t dripping out of me. That’s how tight it is for him. I feel a little sore now that the pleasure is gone but I remain close to him.
We pull away a little and Mansk gazes into my eyes. He’s about to say something but I cut him off with a kiss. Of course, he doesn’t complain.
When I pull back I smile, realising I’m in love with him too. He’s the best person I know here. Why not give it a shot?
“I think I love you too.” I whisper and my words make his eyes widen. He wasn’t expecting that either but it made him smile.
“Let me take you out some time.” he suggests and I giggle, looking down.
“Sure.” I reply and Mansk pulls me into a hug.
We clean ourselves up and he sets a day for the date.
“See you tomorrow.” he says as he leaves.
“Don’t be late!” I call after him with a grin.
“I wouldn’t dare to. I’m meeting you.” he says, turning around with a grin. That was so cheesy it made me blush. Fuck.
This evening went much better than expected.

Messing With Remnant: BTC AU Bit - Part 1/3
Page Count: 5
Word Count: 788
Author’s Note: Hi hello hi hello HIIIII
I’m finally writing something for this AU. Finally. Fucking finally. Oh I’m so ill.
Idk if the events described in these little oneshots will actually happen but for now their purpose is simply to showcase the dynamics among the characters. For actual canon BTC characters, I’m gonna try to stay as true to canon as possible with what little info I can get. As for River, the relationships between her and the canon characters are.. headcanon?? I think??? Idk.
Also yes I do mention River having games on her phone and I’m just gonna give an explanation for that now cause it’s not much of a spoiler lmao: she does NOT have any kind of internet or signal. The most she can do is use her notes app and listen to already-downloaded music. And play the tons. And tons. And tons. And tons did I mention TONS of no-wifi-required games she’s got on her phone. So yeah she may or may not use that to distract Tom every so often when she and Springtrap embark on their mischievous little evil terrible endeavors.
(I swear I have an explanation for Tom being able to interact with objects she gives him I will talk about that within either the second or third part).
But yeah BTC Springtrap has infected my brain and I will never forgive @skeletoninthemelonland for that. /lh /j
All BTC characters as well as the general story belong to them ofc so please follow them I love BTC and their art and they’re a very cool person :33
Also skeleton TELL SPRINGTRAP TO START PAYING REMNANT TAX FOR INFECTING MY BRAIN. IF IT’S GOING TO ROT AWAY HE SHOULD GIVE ME FINANCIAL COMPENSATION!! /lh /hj
Okay anyways uhhhh hope you guys enjoy this!! :3
***
Pure energy.
That’s what it looked like to her, anyway—it was the only way she could think to describe it—even though she already knew from the start that this would go much deeper than that. She’d have been shocked if Springtrap of all people knew exactly what it was, though, let alone be able to articulate it in a way another person could understand.
She couldn’t pinpoint exactly why, but she was almost drawn to it, having recalled a vague, childhood memory of fire, how it pulsated and flicked around wildly despite being contained within the constricting wick it was lit upon.
Whatever this energy was: it reminded her of that.
Unlike fire, looking at it sort of hurt her eyes…
“What are you doing?”
She blinked, flinching back to reality. Without realizing it, she’d begun to reach out to it. “Uh…”
That was all she could muster. Springtrap rolled his eyes and lightly smacked her hand away.
“You didn’t hear a word I said,” he sighed irritably. “Did you?”
“You were talking?”
He smacked his right hand against his eyes, grumbling to himself. “Do you ever take anything seriously?”
“Absolutely not,” River replied without missing a beat, flashing a grin. “You should know this by now.”
“Well, what I was trying to say,” Springtrap said, taking a step toward… whatever it was and lowering his hood. “That this is what I mentioned yesterday: remnant.”
“I mean, I guess I see why you’re so obsessed with it now,” she shrugged, lowering the hood of her cape, as well. “It’s kinda pretty.”
“Oh, yes!!” Springtrap exclaimed, suddenly in a weirdly sing-song voice drawling with sarcasm every syllable. “Because I’m obviously dedicating my life’s work to this substance just because it ‘looks pretty’!!”
He paused, then said, “Stop taking me for some moronic, shiny-object-obsessed kleptomaniac!”
“...I mean I was tryna be nice by not mentioning your crazy hoard ‘o metal parts, but—”
“Moving. On.”
River snickered to herself before turning back to the remnant. “Yeah, yeah. So… what is it, again?”
“You wouldn’t understand,” he said, to which she rolled her eyes and crossed her arms. “That isn’t the important part yet, anyway; what’s important is what I- we can do with it.”
“Skip to the part where ya actually elaborate on somethin’ for once, please,” River interrupted. “I don’t know how long my games are gonna distract Tom and co. for.”
Springtrap heaved a pointlessly dramatic sigh once more, shaking his head. “Fine, whatever. We use it to generate power; that’s the most basic the explanation can get, at least. But I take as much as I can to use for… research purposes.”
“Real convincing, Spring,” River said, wearing a sarcastic smirk.
“I thought I told you not to call me that.”
“I won’t hesitate to get Tom to start saying ‘Springle’ again.”
Springtrap went back to the subject at hand, but his eye twitched rapidly. River thought he’d pop a vein, if… well, if he had any that still worked.
“Based on what I currently know about remnant—albeit my knowledge is a bit limited—I have a theory that it may help you.” He paused again, absentmindedly scratching the side of his head. “Though I can physically interact with it just fine, I’m unsure what sort of effect it would have on actual, living matter.”
“Is this your lame attempt at convincing me not to touch it just ‘cause you want it?”
“Of course I want it,” Springtrap scoffed. “But I’m being serious, kid! I don’t know enough to just let you grab it out of the air right when it appears!”
“Then why did you bring me along?!”
“Because you need to know about it if you have any hope of returning to wherever you came from!”
Out of spite, River glowered up at him, holding eye-contact as she reached her hand out and grabbed the remnant, clutching it in her hand as tightly as she possibly could.
It burned. It was as if she’d shoved her hand into actively boiling water. She couldn’t take her hand away from it, because it’d already faded from her grasp. Not that she ever had been, but the feeling traveled through her veins as if she’d been bitten by a snake that wouldn’t retract its fangs, or struck by lightning with a metal rod in hand. This was about how she’d imagined it at least.
She couldn’t even scream. Her voice was caught in her throat. The tears that streamed down from her eyes stung her skin. All she could do was stand there, but even that became too much, and her knees buckled under her weight.
All noise dulled, the last of them she could only just barely make out being Springtrap yelling her name.
