Scraptrap X Lefty - Hated Love

Part 39 - Jealousy

Lefty was near the entrance, talking to Security Puppet. She knew that Security Puppet knows about her past as an animatronic, so she decided to tell him about her childhood. Once she finished talking, Security Puppet felt empathy. She was only 3 years old when she dies, that was something he didn't know. Now, Lefty and the other salvages were around the same age. Lefty was actually older than Scraptrap now, because she possessed the Puppet before Afton was springlocked.

"You sounded like you had a rough childhood."

"Yeah.. A little rough, I don't know what I would have done without my father, protecting me. I was in the wrong place at the wrong time when I died. But, I don't want to think about that anymore, everyone knows how I died so I don't need to mention it anymore. Fresh starts, new beginnings." 

Security Puppet smiled and nodded, which Lefty smiled back. All of a sudden, the doors to the main pizzeria burst open, to see an agitated Scraptrap walking towards them. "What's wrong Scraptrap?" Security Puppet asked. 

"Don't talk to me. Lefty, can we go somewhere?" He responded and begun to talk to Lefty.

"Umm... Sure, but where?" She replied, confused about what his problem is.

"I don't know, but anywhere away from him."

"Okay? Sorry Security Puppet."

"It's okay, don't worry about it." He replied, ending their conversation.

Lefty and Scraptrap walked into the main area, and went into the storage room, everyone watched them because Scraptrap looked pretty mad when they told him Lefty was with Security Puppet. Lefty looked just as confused as they did. As they got to the door, Scraptrap opened the door for her and they both walked in, closing the door behind them.

It was awkwardly silent so Lefty started the conversation, "So, Scraptrap, what is it you brought me here to talk about?" It took a while for him to respond, "Honestly, I've been feeling this way for a while. It only happens whenever you talk to Security Puppet, but I don't understand why. Whenever I know you two are talking, I get paranoid and it makes me want to talk to you."

"What are you paranoid about when I talk to him?" 

"I don't know. I just get a strange feeling. But if I have to give a proper answer, I'll have to say that I get paranoid because I don't know what you're talking about or how you feel about him." 

Lefty thought about what he said, processing each word, trying to come up with a conclusion. "Okay, I think I understand now," Scraptrap looked at her, waiting for her, "You're jealous of him, Scraptrap. It's the only conclusion I could come up with. Do you feel like, because I talk to Security Puppet quite often, you don't like it?"

Scraptrap nodded. Lefty laughed a little, which made Scraptrap look away, "Scraptrap," Lefty said, getting him to look at her again, "You don't have to be jealous about us, we are only friends, and I only get to talk to him once a week, I make the most of the time I have." This made Scraptrap feel so much better, which made him sigh in relief. 

"So, you're saying I don't need to worry about what you talk about?"

"That is exactly what I am saying. Even though it may seem like I talk to Security Puppet more than you, that is definitely not the case. Think about it, I talk with the Rockstars, including Security Puppet for 1 day, and I have you guys to talk to, for the other 6 days. Think about how many hours difference that is."

Scraptrap knew she was right, "I know, but it just feels like you want to talk to him more than me. I can't help but feel this way when I see you two together."

"Scraptrap, I want to talk to him yes, but that's because we have a bond, connecting to the music box I once lived in. The only one I want to talk to most, is you." Lefty said, looking straight into his eyes. Scraptrap felt heat rush to his cheeks, this has never happened before as much as it has been doing, but he was happy with her answer and smiled, which got her smiling back at him. They both left the storage room, to go do their own things for the rest of the day before they had to be back in their usual place.
