What if your toys could talk?
What do you think they would say?
Do you think they'll say "I adore you"??
Maybe, who knows?

Btw do you know that all the toys has the ability to think.
You don't believe me, why? I mean, I myself am a toy, a teddy bear.
What? You thought I was a human being?
Plz accept my apologies for letting you down. I bet, you hadn't expected me to pull this out, isn't it?
My bad, I should've made you acknowledged it earlier, my bad.

But tbh, I really wish I were a human but as this is not a fairy tale, that shit won't be happening here. So, I guess, I gotta give up on that dream.

My appearance is just like other average teddy bears: medium sized, white colored, a plastered smiley face, a cutesy baby pink dress etc etc.
- Methinks, it's pretty ordinary. But, back at the store where I was being sold, I usually heard and saw little kids and girls pointing at me and talking about how cute I am. I can understand why they did that, little kids and girls find anything cute fr.

One day, a tall slender guy came into the store. He was built like an emo hamburger: black leather jacket, black tshirt, black pants, black boots, spikey metallic accessories. He was totally giving off pure emo vibes no cap.
He walked around the store and started eyeing over the things. Guess, he was looking for something but what was an emo guy doing in the toy section, I didn't get that.
Usually cute girls and kids visit this section and buy cute toys like me. Maybe, he was looking for an emo toy for his emo girlfriend.

The emo hamburger guy carefully checked each toy, when it was my turn, I thought he wasn't interested in me as his facial expression was neutral. I could also smell his cologne, and it was an emoic. I know "emoic" word doesn't exist but I could care less about that shit.

His eyes bore in mine's, he was legit staring into my soul.
Bro, chill.
Just who even stare a teddy bear for that long, plus you are a grown up man, that's odd fr.

He suddenly picked up me but I couldn't do anything about it, as I am a fucking teddy bear, a non-living being.

"You will be the perfect gift for my pookie, buddy."
He said, his face still expressionless and stoic.

So, I was right, huh? He was really looking something for his girlfriend but I didn't thought he would pick me!!

Soon, I was wrapped and packed, ready to be a stranger's gift. But what could I even do about it, I don't have the ability to object about my current situation.

But tbh.......

I don't hate it.... after waiting for a very long time, finally, I was going to have a place I could call "home", a person, I could finally call "family".

To my suprise, the emo hamburger guy's girlfriend wasn't an emo, infact, she was pretty normal, caramel haired girl. She was very sweet and naive too. But I guess, her hair is dyed.

The caramel haired girl hugged me tightly and you know what? She really did smelled like actual caramel ngl!

"Is it for me? It's so cute, thankyou, Mike!"
She said to the emo hamburger guy, sorry... I mean, Mike.

"Hmm, it's fine, Nana..."
He hummed and replied.

So, miss caramel haired girl aka my new owner's name is Nana, huh? I've finally learnt my new owner's name but as we know, there are so many languages but why did emo hamburger guy aka Mike "hmm" at miss caramel haired girl aka Nana.
I ain't judging, okay but it's just....😑 (Boring)

Thousands of languages but bro be like replying in cow language "hmmm"

Anyways, let's just continue -

After some time emo hamburger guy left, leaving only miss caramel haired and me, the teddy bear in the house.

Miss caramel haired then took me inside her cutesy aesthetic core bedroom, placed me on her bed and sat right before me.
She looked at me, smiled and gently booped my nose.

"You know, I am so happy rn. He didn't forgot about our aniversary."
She spoke softly, a hint of happiness in her voice. So, I guess, I was her anniversary gift. But, what anniversary? Relationship, maybe?

She then began to speak for several hours, describing her love for emo hamburger guy. I obviously didn't had the ability to talk, as y'know, I am a teddy bear. So, I just listened to whatever she yapped about. For some reason I thought, she was kinda crazy lowkey. Talking with a literal teddy bear?? ಠ⁠◡⁠ಠ
Kinda weird ngl.

Just when I thought she was never gonna stop and continue yapping, her Asian mother called out her name from downstairs and then she vanished outside.

It may doesn't seem but tbh I am very happy inside, as I finally have an owner.
It's the dream of every toy to be owned and loved by someone.
Back at the store, I've seen many toys being chosen and owned, but nobody picked me.

"Why they didn't choose me?
Am I not good enough?
Am I not perfect?
Don't leave me alone....
Please...."

These were my regular thoughts when I saw peoples walk past me and choose some other toy....

Till date....

But....

Little did I know what was waiting for me... maybe the phrase "Happiness doesn't last long" was true.

After a few months, Mike dumped Nana...
I never really understood human emotions but why did Mike left Nana. They looked like a perfect couple, I was even Nana's anniversary gift...

Nana cried for several hours, keeping herself isolated from everybody, even her parents. She just lied on her bed and cried coz of the breakup.
I felt a sense of empathy for her but what could I even do? I'm just a non-living thing.

Wish, I could let my emotions flow outside.
Wish, I could support Nana but no...
I can't do that... even if I wanted to...

I can't even frown because of that damn smile plastered on my face.

I'm just a damn eccentesiast, my emotions whelve inside me.

I thought, things were about to get better after few months but...

Nana threw me in a pile of garbage which was outside her house.

"You.. it's all because of you... you're a bad luck..."

These were the last words I heard from Nana.

I don't blame her for what she did, anybody whose heart is broken would do that.

Now, I'm lying alone on the pile of garbage, the memories of joy replaying continuously inside my mind....

- Oh, it's raining.... what a melancholy scene....wish somebody would accompany me...

What did I do wrong?
I just wanted somebody whom I could call family,
I just wanted a friend,
I just wanted somebody's company,
I just wanted to be loved...

Did I asked too much...
I guess...

But I think, I don't deserve that because I'm just a teddy bear...

The end...
