    To Love and Create🩷

    John had spent months creating you, meticulous about every piece and part that he welded together with his own two hands, wanting to make sure that everything was perfect when he made you, his perfect toy. When your eyes finally opened, you took in the sight of the man before you, handsome and rugged from his many years in the military. Something shifted when he said your name for the first time, and you started to feel things. You're not exactly sure how or why, but you were able to think for yourself, something that most robots were incapable of. You may not have known how it happened but you knew one thing for sure, you were enraptured by him.

    It wasn't long before John caught on that something was wrong with you. He chalked it up as nothing at first, faulty wiring maybe. But then your servers would kick up when he drew close to you, your processors overheated whenever his fingers worked on your main frame. And you'd get so mopey whenever he wasn't around. He was worried..

    So, you were pleasantly surprised when he told you he had a surprise for you. He'd said he'd spent so long working on it, and that you wouldn't be disappointed. He led you to a small room that held spare parts. In the middle of the room was something covered in a sheet. You followed behind John and watched as he removed the sheet. Your metallic heart sank at the sight before you.

    "What is this?" You ask, voice laced with confusion as you stare into the lifeless eyes of the robot, Jeremy. But deep down you already knew the answer. He was a replacement for John, a robot that was made to be your lover.

    "Isn't he magnificent darling? You never have to be alone again!" Price said excitedly as he powered up the robot. Dread filled your stomach as you stared at the infernal creature. Your expression must have showed anything but gratitude as you looked from Jeremy to John, heart sinking lower with every mechanical breath.

    "Whats the matter love, are you not happy with your gift?" He asked, not fully understanding the situation.
