Mech's POV

"No, no, no, no!" I cry out as my robot, once again malfunctions and sends out sparks. I cover my face as the sparks fly out of my robot before sighing and hitting my head on the table.

Jack had hit my robot too hard and now it won't work. Sad right? Whats worse is that without it, I'm probably the weakest character. Weaker than Freddy and Lucky.

I facepalm myself as I remember how useless I am, how sad it is that no one wants to play with me anymore. They mostly choose Minds eye now....

I wouldn't want to play as well without my robot. I'd just be a burden to the team. It's better of me not playing for a while.

I cry softly as the reasons why I'm so stupid and useless came running to my head. I lean my hands over to the desk and let my head hit the desk, cowering in sadness and despair. I sob and cry, not hearing the door open.

"Tracy? You've been missing matches. What happened?" William's deep husky voice disrupted my silent and lonely room.

Quickly, I lift up my head and wipe off my tears, I not looking at the forward. "O-oh! I was sick......" I lie, pushing away the tools I was using and hiding them underneath the robot's arm.

"Are you sure? Tracy..... whats wrong?" His voice was much closer now, just behind me.

I stood my ground and shook my head. "I'm fine."

That was a lie. I'm not.

"Then why is the robot sending sparks?" He blurts out. I tensed up and froze, knowing I have to play my words right if I want to get through this.

"I'm just fixing a fe—"

"Tracy, I know it's broken. I'm not dumb," he spats, grabbing my shoulder gently. "What's actually wrong?" he asks, worry lacing his every word.

I remain silent, not knowing whether I should give in and tell him the truth or suck it up like I always do.

I felt his grip tighten, but it didn't work. It was..... comforting and reassuring. As if he didn't want to let go and drop me.

"You can tell me anything.... You might not notice it, but we all care for you.... I care for you," he says.

I felt tears as his words hit my heart. Slowly, I turn to him. Striking him with a hug, I sob on his chest, catching him off guard but nonetheless I felt his big hands caress my back.

I listen carefully his heart beat, calming the storm in my heart. After a few minutes, I let go. He looks at my red tear-stained face before putting  hand on my cheek, carefully wiping off the tears.

"What's hurting you?" His gruff voice asks. I look down, falling back to my seat. I hesitated on my words, finally deciding to speak up. "I-it's just.... I'm useless....."

He gives me a confused look, kneeling infront of me "No you're not. You have your robot!" he tries to assure me.

I sniffle and hug myself "That's the point! What if I didn't have my robot? I can't vault fast, I decode slow when someone's hurt, and I can't kite that good! My robot is the only reason
why people even play with me.... Without it, I'm a stupid nerfed nobody," I admit, tears falling down faster than I intended.

He remained quiet, until I felt him lift up my head to look at him. "Don't down yourself. You came here for a reason, right? No one is useless. Honestly, I should be rescuing and kiting right? It's sad because sometimes, I can't rescue properly or kite well. While you? You can save yourself! You're independent!" He cheers.

"Heck, you're robot is even better that a player most of the time," he chuckles. I let out a giggle and lean on to his touch. "You're right...." I say, landing my hand on top of his. It was comforting, his touch I mean.

He smiles at me with a blush matching my own.

"ZzZp.... zAApppP.... ZoOoOpP!" The robot fizz and pops, sending sparks. We both we're surprised, looking and laughing at eacother. He stands up and lent me a hand. "Come on, lets go fix that so that we can play together the next match," he suggests.

I giggle and blush, grabbing his hand.
