Chapter Text
A.. lot has happened. So, so much. While Eclipse was still harsh towards him, and with good reason, he was allowed to stay, even after everything was over.
What was everything, you ask?..
It started with the Mimic. They came after Charlie and her father during their walk, chasing them, eventually following them into the pizzaplex. Eclipse and Flare did their best to fight them off, but when Jackie came in..
Eclipse was lucky he hadn't been beheaded. Especially when Afton came in. He came after Ruin, ripping him apart multiple times, only to get frustrated each time he came back.
Tiger Rock managed to help Flare fight off the Mimic, essentially killing them mercilessly. Eclipse had his arm ripped off, but Charlie made her way to Jackie, and killed them off all the same. The others heard the fighting, Molly and Ballora darting to Ruin's side, wanting him away from Afton. It was for naught, though. Afton went after Ballora, leaving Ruin to stand before her, letting a burning, Agony filled hand slice through his chest, and rip a hole through it.
Eventually Eclipse made it to Ruin's side, when he'd been revived that moment around. Despite the anger he still felt from Lefty's death, he didn't exactly hate Ruin, no matter if he'd deny it or not. He helped the barely stabilized Ruin up, from the ground, as Molly did her best to hurt Afton.
But as Afton was the last of the villains standing, it was a face off between him, Tiger Rock, and Ruin. At least, it were; Until Charlie had darted out of a room nearby, leaving her father's side as she raised her hand, and used her powers swiftly.
She flickered her power over the room, various others that were sworn to be dead rising from pure magic, etching their lives and names into the book of life, as not only Lefty was arisen, but Killcode, Puppet, and Ruin's Monty. His own Monty. Puppet, even.. And so much more.
While most were dazed, Puppet and Ruin's love were wary, taking to Afton's side as Puppet shouted a command.
“HOLD HIM DOWN!” She shouted, teeth gritting, as the familiar Gator slid to Afton's side, holding him down forcibly.
Puppet had made it to a position, standing before Afton in a hateful stance, as she used her powers, killing him off for certainty.
What happened next..?
A reunion. Between multiple people, some of whom were once close. Despite Ruin's weak form, he was held closely to his Monty, who just so happened to drag Tiger Rock into the hug as well, as if to say thank you, for protecting him.
And now? Now, Ruin lay on the couch, groaning at the discomfort he felt.
He looked away, as he heard Rocks chuckle dryly. “I guess this is what happens when you fight people..”
“I.. do not like your attitude, Tiger Rock.”
He felt even more betrayed when Monty didn't deny it, only to sit with his legs crossed beside the couch. “Sweetie, we're all pretty banged up. Oh, love, don't look away. You know the cute tiger's right.”
Ruin blinked, looking over to his love, tilting his head curiously. “Cute tiger?”
“Love. We literally just went on a date with Rocks not even a day ago,” Monty hummed, resting an arm around Ruin's chest, pressing a kiss on his cheek.
Ruin sat up as best he could, only for Monty to get up, and sit beside him, preventing him from getting far.
“Tiger might be cute,” Ruin murmured, as he felt his legs and back limp, leaning against Monty in defeat. “But he's got a stupid attitude…”
Tiger Rock only rolled his eyes, chuckling with amusement. He sat beside the two, a hand running through Ruin's rays carefully. He found it adorable how Monty and Ruin rested beside each other, mimicking humanoid breathing through their vents, softly.
He finds it amusing, despite it all, that he somehow found two lovers. And the thing is; Both of these idiots are meant to be dead! How does one fall in love with these dashing, loving, caring undead animatronics? Without issue? (If you pardon Ruin's dramatics, of course..)
“Eclipse you should rest,” Monty said simply, nuzzling against his nightcap lightly. “Me and Rocks will be with you.”
Ruin hummed quietly, shifting to his side with all his strength, eyes closed, as he nuzzled against his Gator's chest, accepting the arms that wrapped around him softly. Tiger stretched, before adjusting his position, resting on one side of Monty, as the Gator adjusted his and Ruin's own position, leaving Ruin to comfortably cling onto him, head resting on his chest, as he slept between the two taller loves.
Tiger snickered, before covering them all with a blanket, and snuggling close to Ruin, wrapping an arm around him and the third, as Monty did vice versa.
As they drifted semi peacefully off to sleep, Ruin was certain he could faintly hear Puppet whisper from the doorway..
“Gay.”
