"Time to go, Lefty!" You called down the corridor.
The black bear peeked around the corner before cautiously creeping towards you. "Are you sure this is safe?" They asked. (Yes I am referring Lefty to they/them because no one can freaking decide on their gender 😑).
"Yeah, but if you keep stalling, then it won't be!" You whispered back. There were still some employees around the pizzeria, so you had to get out quickly and efficiently. Lefty's eye widened and they raced across the corridor, nearly crashing into you. "..way to get there faster." You mumbled, laughing a bit afterwards. Lefty laughed alongside you and in the cover of darkness, the two of you easily snuck into your car and drove home.
Lefty sat in the back while you drove, occasionally asking questions about your house. That was where you were headed, after all.You pulled the key out of the door's socket and opened it. The calming scent of your home greeted you as both you and Lefty entered.
"Wow, this is so nice!" Lefty complimented. "Are you sure you'd want me to stay here?" They said in a bit of worry.
"Of course! That trashy pizzeria isn't gonna last much longer, so I'm gonna make sure you don't get scrapped."
Lefty pulled you into a side hug. "Awww, thanks, Y/N!"
"Anything for my favorite teddy bear," you said, returning the hug. Y/N patted Lefty's back a couple times before releasing her/his arms from the bear and heading towards the kitchen.
You slipped off your hoodie and hung it on one of the kitchen table's chairs. You hesitated for a second before turning back to the kitchen. I can trust them right? Your eyes flickered down to your arms. Yeah, I'm fine.
"So, what's for din-....right!" You facepalmed. Lefty can't eat food.
"Yeah...robot bear..heh." Lefty mumbled nervously. "Don't worry about it!"
Despite Lefty's reassuring nature, you apologized and went back to making your dinner. Lefty went and sat on the couch while you worked on your grilled cheese.
You spread the butter onto the smoldering pan and the liquid popped, a few drops shooting up to your arm. You hissed and backed away from the stove shaking your arm and managed to knock down a couple pans laid out.
Lefty's head shot up from behind the couch and they rushed over while you regained your balance.
"Woah! Y/N, are you okay?!" They yelled in a panicked mess.
"Yeah, I'm fine," you reassured them. "I'm perfectly fine."
Lefty grabbed your hand before you walked off and poked your arm. You winced. "Ha! See? You're not okay after a-" They cut themselves off when something caught their eye. There were red lines slit across your forearms. Did they get scratched by a cat or something? Lefty thought before quickly changing back to the e present subject before you could notice.
"Anyway, you can wash that off once you're done if you want," Lefty huffed. "I'm not going to force you." They headed back to the couch and sat down. You exhaled a small sigh before rubbing your arm and getting back to your dinner.After dinner, you sat down in bed folding your clothes and getting a new pair out for the following day. There was a knock at your door.
"Come in!" You beckoned. The door creaked open with a black hand curled over the handle. Lefty slowly peeked in, and once they were sure you were fine with their presence, they walked inside more casually.
"I have a question for you Y/N," they stated, hesitated for a moment, then continued. "Actually, I need to ask you two."
"Yeah, what is it?" You responded.
"Can I sleep in your room tonight? It's pretty lonely on my own and I don't want anything to happen to you." They said bashfully.
"Oh! Of course, Lefty!" You spread the sheets over your bed and hopped on, making room for the bear. Luckily, there was more than enough room. Lefty scooted onto the bed and pulled the sheet over their legs. "And what was your second question?"
Lefty finished getting settled and put one arm back to lean on.
"Oh, nothing," they said. Lefty's hand suddenly reached over you and latched onto the arm that you burned a couple hours prior. You didn't have time to react before it was too late and Lefty scooted up the sleeve on your sweater. They pointed to the cuts up and down your forearm. "What are these?" Lefty growled.
You gulped and replied, "Just scratches." The bear huffed.
"Y/N, I can tell when people are lying. You shouldn't lie. You also shouldn't be afraid to tell me anything." They shook your shoulder a bit to hold onto your attention. "I want to help, but I can't if you won't let me. Trust me, I won't judge you or anything."
You sighed and pulled down the sleeve to your shirt.
"Fine," you admitted. "I got in a fight with a cat."
Lefty raised an eyebrow. "Look, I don't want to jump to conclusions, but I'm worried it might be.." they held their finger to their forearm and made small motions up and down. Self harm.
There was a moment of silence.
You nodded slowly. Lefty's expression softened.
"You know what, just forget it," you said, getting out of bed. Lefty put a hand of your chest and moved you back onto your bed so you sat next to them.
"No, no. You're not getting out of this.." they said, sternly, yet concerned. "Why would you do that to yourself?"
"Because I want to?"
"But why would you want to?"
"I don't know!" You exclaimed. "I don't freaking know! I feel like screaming, and I hate holding it in all day!!" Lefty used their hand to push you onto the bed until your back was fully compressed onto the mattress. The bear laid down as well and pulled you into a side hug. "Umm..Left-"
"Shh," they shushed you. "Just enjoy the silence." You didn't argue and cuddled in.
After a few minutes, you'd caught yourself wrapped up in your own thoughts.
Does Lefty really care about me? Why would—why should they? I don't deserve anyone's help, I'm meant to be alone. I should have to work through this on my own! I-!
You were lost in your thoughts when you looked up to see Lefty's one eye staring at you. They didn't seem scared, or angry, or concerned. They just seemed....sad.
"I can tell you're stressing over something. What is it?" Lefty asked softly. You hummed and looked to the side. The bear huffed a bit. "You don't have to tell me. I won't force you, because I know how that feels. I only want you to tell me what I can do to help."
You thought for a moment. Even if you had the energy to break out of this mentality, how could you? What was the source of all your misery? Where did it all start?
"My friend." You said.
Lefty looked at you with curiosity.
"I thought we were friends." They joked.
"No. That's where all of this started. A friend wasn't treating me like an equal, so I started doubting myself. Eventually, it built up. So it wasn't all her fault, but...that's when I started going hard on myself."
"Ah, I see." Lefty replied. Another moment of silence."I don't see how you could ever be so hard on yourself, though. I mean, you're perfect to me!" You looked to the side bashfully and Lefty the same. They looked back to you. "You know, I'm always free to come home with you. I'm not exactly the star attraction, anyway.."
"You know," you said. "Who cares if you're the main attraction or not? Even if you aren't, that's just more time we can spend together, right?" You smiled up at the bear.
"Thanks, N/N," they chuckled before their expression went darker. "You haven't tried...pushing the limit on this, have you?" The dark and worried tone lacing Lefty's voice made you nervous. It wasn't hard to tell what they meant.
"...yes, but I couldn't bring myself to it. I'm such a wimp-"
Lefty abruptly jumped onto you. It took you a couple seconds to process they were hugging you. You gave Lefty a squeeze and patted their back. Now you felt guilty for what you said...
They pulled the sheets over the two of you and laid down beneath them.
"Lefty?" You whispered.
"Shh..." they held a finger up to your mouth then laid their forehead against yours gently. "It will all be over soon...."I can't be the only one that thinks Lefty's voice is really soothing right? 😀
