Valentine's day, it was a day Liam had been half dreading and half looking forward to. When the restaurant closed down for the day, he told the others he would meet them all back home. Meanwhile, Liam took a walk down to the shops. He knew that there was a florist nearby, having already taken a trip down there once before. He knew the exact flowers he wanted to give to Chica. He felt a little nervous, after all, they had been friends for so long now. It had been five full years since he met her back in that dark pizza place. When he took that job, he had no idea that it would change his life so much. That job forever had a deep impact on him, it left him feeling a lot more confident, taking risks he never would have before. That move he pulled with the van and the animatronics was a ballsy move on his part. Liam knew he could get into deep trouble for it, but at that moment, he didn't care. All he could think about was saving that person that saved his life no matter what the cost. The end result was definitely worth the risk, and if he could, he would do it all again and wouldn't change a thing. Although he missed Hugo, he wished he could have somehow saved him. Another bad thing to come out of this was the missing thumb. He looked down to his hand, looking to the stub. It was so weird, he could see it wasn't there, but he could still feel it as if it were still whole.

Eventually, Liam got his mind off the past and focused on the present. Chica couldn't eat, so instead of getting her some fancy chocolates and flowers, he was going to get her flowers and something extra special. He walked into the florist's shop, seeing all kinds of flowers, but there was one big bouquet of flowers that really caught his eye. It had a load of bright yellow carnations along with yellow germini flowers that looked a little more orange towards the centre of them. In the middle was a beautiful orange rose. The bright colors reminded him of Chica's fur and beak. He really hoped that she liked this bouquet as much as he did. Immediately he picked it up and went to pay for it.

"Is that for someone special?" a gray haired woman in her fifties asked him.

For a moment, he was about to ask how she knew, but stopped himself when he reminded himself of the fact it was Valentine's day. "Yeah, it's for my best friend," Liam replied to the woman.

"She must be a very special friend," the older woman replied as she now tapped in the price into her register.

Liam already knew the price, he reached into his left pocket to pull out enough money to cover it. "She is. I owe her my life. She saved me," he happily informed her.

"She did? My, sounds like you have a keeper there," the older woman responded as she now got Liam's change, handing it to him. Only then did she notice the missing thumb on his hand. She didn't say anything out of respect however, guessing he must have lost it in some kind of accident.

"Yeah," Liam replied as he got lost in a daydream for a moment, but soon he took his flowers and his change. He then turned around to leave, but not before thanking her for the flowers. Once he was out of the florist's shop, he walked to another shop to pick up that special gift.

Meanwhile, Chica was cooking for Liam. Usually he would be home by now, she wondered where he was. Her life had changed so much since being freed from that pizza place. She got to finally see and walk around outside after being trapped for so many years. It felt good to really be free. She would no longer have to be ripped apart, dismantled, sing those songs, or be forced to stay in one place for the rest of her life. Thanks to Liam, they had more freedom than they ever would've had back in that prison. It was hard at first, settling in to their new home yet keep themselves hidden. She remembered how she once got caught walking around by one of the neighbours. Liam had to make up some story about buying her in an auction. Now their neighbours thought he was just really into electronics. They had no idea that they had a life of their own. Chica was thankful for Liam risking so much to keep them happy. She knew he was a good person.

"What are you making?" Bonnie asked with curiosity in his robotic voice. The big mechanical rabbit still had a good relationship with Chica, watching over her as if she was his sister.

"Just a little something for Liam. Do you know where he went to?" Chica asked, hoping that he wasn't going to be away for too long.

Bonnie thought on it for a moment before shaking his mechanical head. "Nope, maybe Foxy or Freddy know? I can ask them if you want," he offered, but he was beginning to suspect that Liam's sudden disappearance had something to do with Valentine's day. Bonnie had watched the two of them long enough to know that the two of them seemed to be really close. He wondered just how close the two of them really were.

"You don't have to ask, he might be back in a minute, or two," Chica hoped that the food wouldn't be cold by the time Liam got back.

"Maybe he is out getting you a gift for Valentine's day?" Bonnie guessed.

That quickly got Chica's attention. "A gift? No... He doesn't like me in that way," She told him, sounding a little upset.

"He doesn't? Did he tell you that?" Bonnie inquired, wondering if something he didn't know about happened between the two of them.

"No, but... He wouldn't be with me, would he? I am just an animatronic." She couldn't imagine Liam actually liking her in that way. Chica was just so different from other women like the ones she saw on TV and outside.

"I don't think that he thinks of you as just a machine," Bonnie told her. He knew that she was probably the entire reason Liam pulled them out of that pizza place.

Chica went quite for a moment, thinking and wondering. What if he did care for her that way? How could they really be together when she was stuck in this body of metal, wires and fake fur? Secretly, she hoped he did like her in that way. She just didn't think that he could feel that way about her.

A few minutes later, Liam walked into the house with a big bouquet of flowers. Freddy looked over to Liam. "Did someone die?" the bear casually asked.

Liam looked a little surprised at the question. Did the flowers look ugly to him? His question only added to how nervous he was already feeling. "No, they're for Chica."

"Oh... Ohh, I knew it. You do have a thing for her!" Freddy happily exclaimed as he shot up out of the couch.

"Shhh! Shit, are you trying to give me a hard time?" Liam hastily responded. First the jab at the flowers and now this, yelling something like that out.

"No, no! I am just happy for you. Me and Bonnie knew something was going on between you two. You both spend so much time together," Freddy pointed out.

"Yeah well, you and Bonnie spend a load of time together. Does that mean that there is something going on between you and Bonnie? Have you been making plans to make little bears and bunnies?" Liam snarkily replied with a smirk. He couldn't help but feel a little defensive.

Freddy's mechanical eye lids gave him a rather frustrated expression. "No! Come on, is this because I called those flowers funeral flowers?"

"You're damn right it is," Liam told him with a more friendly smile. He felt better after giving him a hard time back. "And keep your voice down, it's a surprise..."

"What's a surprise?" a very familiar female synthesized voice asked.

Liam looked to the side, seeing her standing right there. She had changed out her 'lets eat' bib in favour for a full blue and yellow apron. She didn't want her fake fur getting dirty while she cooks. "Aww shit. This was going to be a surprise but, I got you this. They reminded me of you," he nervously said to her as he handed over the flowers.

For a few seconds, she didn't say a word. She carefully took the flowers from him and looked over them. "They're pretty," she said as she looked over them, feeling so happy that Liam got her a gift for Valentine's day.

"That's what I thought when I saw them," Liam said with a smile before then noticing Bonnie and Freddy watching. He had a feeling they were smiling on the inside.

Chica looked right back at the human, she certainly didn't think she was pretty, but he made her feel that way. "You didn't have to do this," she told him, feeling like he had already done and sacrificed so much for her.

"Maybe not, but I wanted to," Liam told her, barely holding back from saying the things he really wanted to say. He wanted to wait just a few more hours for the perfect moment. He had it planned in his head, he wanted to get her alone for this.

Chica pulled Liam into a hug, still holding the flowers in one hand. "Thank you, Liam. You're a really sweet man," she whispered to Liam.

"And you're a really sweet woman, Chica." Liam told her as he embraced her with both arms. He always loved pulling her warm body close to his. When they both withdrew from the hug, he noticed Bonnie and Freddy looking back at each other. He had a feeling they were just waiting to say they knew it again.

"Dinner is almost ready, I will be back soon." Chica joyfully told him. She then made her way back to the kitchen, wanting to make this meal a really good one.

Liam felt lucky to have her around, not only did she help around the place but also the restaurant just wouldn't be where it is today without her help. He eventually pulled himself out of his thoughts long enough to turn his attention to the bear and the bunny, seeing them both staring at him. "What?"

"Nothing," Bonnie replied, barely able to hold back a chuckle. It was like Liam and Chica were already happily married.

"Riiight..." Liam looked at them with a rather inquisitive expression on his face. He wondered what was going through their heads right now. Either way, he was tired of being up on his feet all day so he sat down on the couch. It felt good to finally relax, but the night wasn't over yet.

11PM

It was dark outside. Everyone was gathered around the TV, one of their favourite shows having just ended. Foxy was sitting on the floor with his legs crossed, Bonnie and Freddy shared a brown leather two seater couch, as did Liam and Chica. Liam let out a small yawn, before glancing at the clock above the TV. Valentine's day was almost over, but there was still something he had to do. "Chica, there's something I want to show you. Come with me," he whispered to her.

Chica watched as he got up. Curious about what he wanted to show her, she got up and followed him. Once they were out of earshot of the others, she finally decided to ask what this was all about. "What did you want to show me?" she asked him as they neared his bedroom.

Liam smiled as he looked straight back to her, and opened his door. All the time he was sat next to her, all he could think about was this moment. He was dying to tell her everything. "I didn't just get you flowers... I wanted to get something that shows just how valuable you are to me... I couldn't find anything that does that though, but I hope you like this anyway." He said to her as he then walked towards his bed. His bed was positioned close to the wall where the window was. The only light that entered the room came from the open door and the moonlight that shone in through the window. Liam knelt down to pull out a small rectangular box. It cost him quite a lot, but if she liked it, then it would be a very small price to pay. "I hid this under the bed while you were still cooking. It was getting hard to hide in my pocket." It was then he handed that box to her.

Chica was stunned for a moment. She had seen guys doing this in the movies before, it was always jewellery. She wasn't sure what to say as she opened up that box to see a beautiful diamond and amethyst necklace. It was absolutely beautiful. It was silver, with a big amethyst heart, smaller diamonds outlining it. It shined so brightly in the moonlight. "Liam..."

"It reminded me of your eyes when I saw it in the shop. Do you want me to help you put it on?" He asked her, hoping that she liked it. He couldn't tell if she did or not yet, it was hard to read their faces.

"Yes," Chica quickly responded. She couldn't believe he was really doing this for her, buying her such expensive gifts. She liked it, it made her feel like a real woman. She escaped the pizza place, but there was still something that she couldn't escape. She was stuck inside this strange body, it serving as a reminder of all those years she was trapped in that place. But the way Liam treated her made her forget she was different. He treated them all like normal people.

Liam took the necklace and helped her put it on. For a moment, he was worried the necklace might slip down the crevice around her neck that allowed her head to move. Thankfully, the necklace dangled low enough to stop that from happening. "There, all done," he said as he walked around to face her. Before he could say anything, Chica pulled him into a strong hug.

"I love you!" Chica blurted out without even thinking. She had been bottling up those words for so long, she was just afraid to say them. When she began to realize exactly what she just said, the fear set in all over again. She hadn't felt this afraid in a long time. The last time she felt this scared, Liam was covered in his own blood. Deep inside, she was praying that he wouldn't think she's weird for saying those words because she's still an animatronic. She thought that he didn't see her as just some machine, after all, he treated her so well. Still, there was a chance that she might have completely misread the situation.

Liam's heart began beating wildly in his chest, thumping away. "I love you too," he whispered without hesitation. He was scared that if he held back those words any longer, then he never would say them. His heart rate was through the roof. He started feeling that familiar rush he hasn't felt in a while, only this time it wasn't because his life was in danger. For a moment, he just forgot about everything as he returned the hug, letting himself enjoy the feel of her big warm body against his. It was hard to believe that at one point, he was afraid of her ripping his face off and wearing it like Leatherface from Texas Chainsaw Massacre. He couldn't imagine her doing a thing like that anymore.

"You really love me? Even though we ca-" Chica's sentence was quickly cut short by Liam's words.

"That doesn't matter to me... All that matters is that I have you..." Liam spoke straight from his heart, letting it all out. "You saved my damn life... I owe everything I have to you..."

Hearing Liam speaking so passionately caused Chica to do the same, saying the words she had always imagine herself saying. "I owe you even more. We would have been stuck in there forever, or they could have dismantled us, done anything to us. I owe you my life too, we all do. You didn't just save me, you make me feel special... Like I am a woman."

"You are a woman Chica... You're my woman..." Liam confidently told her, looking straight into those magenta eyes of her's. It didn't matter if they couldn't be together sexually, all that mattered was that they were together. He cared about her so deeply, more than he had ever cared about than anyone else. He had chances to be with other women, but he just didn't want them. He wanted Chica. She was all he wanted, and needed.

Chica couldn't remember feeling this happy in her entire life. She never imagined she could ever really be with Liam, in a relationship with him. She felt like this was the most perfect moment of her life. All she could feel was pure joy and love emanating from Liam. "You're my man, Liam," She happily told him as she just embraced him, closing her eyes as her man did the same. They stood there in the darkened room, the moonlight illuminating the both of them whilst they lovingly held each other. Nothing could ruin this moment for them. For as long as they lived, this night would be forever etched into their minds and hearts.

Author's note: Okay, I got this idea from someone who reviewed this story. XD I just felt like there was something else that needed adding to this story, like it needed more. I am used to writing romance and with Valentine's Day close by, I decided why the hell not add more to it. I kinda grew attached to Liam and Chica anyway. :3 So happy late Valentine's Day everyone! And remember, there is always someone out there for you! Even if that someone is an animatronic or a former security guard with a missing thumb! And thanks for all the favorites, views, comments and all that good stuff! Hope you all enjoy my Valentine's Day gift to you all, even if it is way off. :)
