Temporary Friends (A FNAF Story)

41: L.O.L.

"so...you made this one...for me?" michael looked at the animatronic fox infront of him.

"yes. i knew how much you liked henry's fox, so i made you one of my own creation." william smiled. michael felt like he got stabbed in the chest. his sister got an animatronic designed to look like her. his brother got an animatronic designed to look like him. and all he gets is a fox? it wasn't even one of the main cast. hell, the colours didn't even go together.

no. he should stop complaining. he needs to be grateful that he even gets this. willaim didn't have to make it for him.

"...cool. thank you." he said softly. he touched the white metal of the fox's arm. he slid his hand to the orange chest plate, and then over the speaker on its chest.

"what's the uh...name of the fox?" michael asked, moving his hand to the purple bow tie.

"lolbit. do you like it?" william asked. michael knew better than to complain. william would yell at him. he nodded. at least he got something.

"yes. i like it. thank you, fatha." michael continued to trace over random parts of "lolbit's" body.

"would you like me to turn it on? so that way you can see it in action?" william asked. michael nodded, and his father hummed in response. william walked over to the wall, where there looked to be a switch on the wall. william pressed some buttons, and then flipped the switch. the orange eyelids of lolbit shot open, and lolbit started twitching spastically.

"H-HELLO, M-M-MR. A-AFTON." lolbit's voice was just as twitchy as it was, and it was loud, and the electronic ring to it hurt michael's ears. there were a lot of problems with it. but at the same time, it almost comforted him.

"hello. do you remember how i told you that i made you with a specific person in mind?" william asked the fox. lolbit nodded. "well, this is him. this is my son, and you will watch him. make sure he doesn't get hurt, and what not."

michael turned to his father. he actually made this thing for him. it was actually made for him. this thing being for michael wasn't just an afterthought. but why was michael still so upset by it? oh that's right. because it looked unfinished. the random twitches, and the sparks that would sometimes fly out. the thing that william made for michael wasn't even finished. maybe in williams eyes it was. maybe that's just what he thought michael deserved. an unfinished, probably not even safe, blatant recolour of one of his other animatronics. but whatever. michael loved this robot. yet at the same time, he despised it.

"i must go work on something. you can stay here, i'm sure you'll enjoy it." william patted michaels shoulder. once william left the room, michael felt anger wash over him.

why did he get a fox? a fox that no one else would see? his sister got the main focal point of the group. and his brother got something that you see immediately when walking in. elizabeth got one that gave people icecream. evan got one that gave people balloons. their robots voices even sounded like them.

what did he get? a barely functional fox that's voice was similar to fingernails on a chalk board. michael formed his hand into a fist and punched the fox in the chest.

"a-aaah- fuck." he said through gritted teeth. he held his hand in pain. what did he expect?lolbit stared down at him.

"HEL-LO-O-O-O, MI-I-ICHAEL!" lolbit's voice caught michael off guard. he flinched so hard he almost fell to the ground, but lolbit grabbed his shoulder tightly.

"DIDNT ME-AN TO SCARE YO-OU, IM N-OT HERE TO HU-R-RT YOU, M-ICHAEL!" lolbit helped michael back into a normal standing position. now, listen. william's robots can not smile. neither can henry's. michael doesnt know any animatronics that can smile. maybe circus baby and ballora, but they were made to smile. but when lolbit spoke, michael swore he could see a smile on the robots face. maybe he didn't despise it as much. he still was angry that this was what he got, but it was made for him. his father made this specifically for michael.
