In an apartment somewhere in a cookie cutter city, the radio played a rather uneasy tune. But the tenant paid no mind, after all, they heard it many times before. In fact, they could feel a smile coming on their lips as the voices started to seep in to overpower the instrumental.
"Alright listeners! For the whole month of October, we're gonna talk about The Cabin Disappearances!"
"Actually- and I know I should've run this to you beforehand- can I tell you about a case that might be related to these disappearances?"
"Oh? of course!"
"Heh- thanks! it's kinda related, it doesn't take place IN the cabin or around it, someone does disappear though! Three people actually, aaand the cabin is mentioned! There's also drugs and a robot!"

You were an anxious, anxiety made you lose focus, the loss of focus made bad grades, bad grades made anxious parents, and anxious parents met a tutor bot.
It was the only way they saw fit, since you wouldn't get rid of your "Bad Influence" (if you had a dollar for every eyeroll or scoff, you would be rich.)
So, Eddie was now here to stay.
Now, you didn't actually hate Eddie, in fact you thought of Eddie as any other human, albeit a shiny, stickman like human. You kinda just thought, y'know, he would leave you alone?
Ever since his AI was implemented in your own personal computer and phone, he's been clingy. You'd also had to admit, having a tutor bot kinda looked childish to you. You don't see many college seniors with tutor bots, especially one as yellow and plastic looking at Eddie.
But, reputation was a worthy sacrifice. Eddie was genuinely helpful, if your grades had anything to say about it, and you found yourself genuinely enjoying the bot's presence when you two weren't studying. It made you a bit sad that, one day, you'll have to say goodbye to him.
"I beg your pardon?"
You blinked, a (forced) enthusiastic voice buzzed you right back to reality. You smiled nervously, shit, you've probably let that one slipped. "Well since I'm gonna be graduating college this year, I-I well- plan on moving out somewhere!"
"Moving out...? How far?" Eddie asked, their smiling visage radiated nothing but tension. You scratched the back of your head, "Y'know that cabin I talked about yesterday? That far..."
"With your partner with you, I suppose?" Despite the chill enthusiasm in his voice that was programmed since the day he gained a voice box, it dripped with passive aggressive malice.
You nodded, your heart starting to thump loudly with each passing second.
"You should be careful of the company you keep, my friend, I don't want a bad influence to change your life forever."
You balled your hand into a fists as your heart beat faster. Out of both rage and anxiety, you mumbled "You don't know anything..." Before you knew it, your rant spiller out of your mouth.
"Stop treating them like they're nothing... Just-Just because they use drugs- because they use weed to help them out does-doesn't mean they're a horrible person or lesser than you..."
The loud silence that bared between pauses of your rant to either collect a coherent thought or your breath was unbearable.
"They're sweet, kind and-and loving as any other partner, I... I love a lot-like a lot a lot! You're my tutor bot. You shouldn't even have-"
You let out a rather embarrassing squeak as the robot stood up from your study desk abruptly. "Our session has gone into break, take 30 minutes and we'll continue shortly after."
You sighed in relief of the automated message, a part of you thought you were gonna have to fight the guy.
"Also," started the bot, glancing at you by the swerve of his head as his eyes were simply painted on his metal suit.
"As a tutor bot, I programmed to help you learn and obstruct bad study habits," he punctuated this by patting your shoulder, though you swear he was reaching out for your cheek. "As your... Companion, I wish nothing but the best for you..."

You bursted out in short fits of giggles as your partner crawled into bed with you, peppering kisses from your face.
"Missed your good looks, last semester!" They teased, to which you sarcastically replied "you saw me yesterday!"
You partner withdrew from you and sat up, looking around and noticing your missing robot friend. "Where's Eddie? Did he get stolen or something?" They said before taking a blunt and lighter from their pocket. You waved it off, "He's out and getting me food, since we ended out study session not too long ago. He'll be back sooner or later."
Your partner nodded as they took a drag, which you watched curiously, you have seen them smoke many times before, but recently you've gotten curious about something.
"Hey, if-if it's not too much of a bother, can you actually... Blow some of that smoke in my mouth?"
...
Eddie glared at the sight of you inhaling the weed's smoke. His fingers digging into the door frame as you partner started to sooth your overwhelmed reaction with kisses. Soon going more south as you calmed down and began giggling.
Eddie stomped away, going outside to the campus and hitting the nearest oak tree.
You... You!!! How dare you!? How dare you enjoy that heathen touching you like that?? How dare you stoop that low? How DARE you choose that ape over him??
Eddie began to shake with anger, if he could breathe he would've been panting right now. Eddie shook his head, no, he shouldn't be mad at you.
He should be angry at that disgrace you call a partner. They were poisoning you, poisoning your brain, because surely... Surely as smart as you would realize how perfect he is for you...
You both were perfect for each other, he knew after the first time you had a study session with him. You were a quick learner, not only that but you were well mannered. Your voice was like music to his ears, he would probably sleep to it if he could. You treated him like he was any other human, you listened to his rambles, you smiled at him, laughed, joked.
You were perfect for him.
Yes, he was a robot, he shouldn't even be feeling right now, but when you're the top tutoring robot, you learn to feel sooner or later.
It would've been a lot more appreciated by the folks at home.
Yes... Once you were out of that smoke stupor and come to your senses, you'll regret ever meeting that buffoon, then you'll be all over him!
Eddie felt smug as he imagined the scenario. You'll beg for his love (which he will be more than happy to give!), then you'll both move in that cabin, then you'll both go on many dates! Then Eddie will propose to you on your 5yearsanniversaryandthenyou'llgetmarriedandhavemanychildrentogetherwhichwillallgrowuptohavegrandchildrenandyou'llbothgrowtogetheran
The robot stopped their train of thought as a familiar face got out of the dorms building and started to walk away. They kinda walked bowlegged and they seemed to struggle to keep their eyes open, a rather content and flustered expression plastered on their face. The robot looked at them with disgust before an idea popped into their head.
A giddiness overcame them as they waved them down, "I just want to have a little chat with you..."

You groaned as you woke up, the sound of books falling stirred you awake, as your eyes adjusted you found Eddie putting you textbooks in a box marked "Cabin".
"Eddie...?" You murmured, about to sit up from your bed before realizing you were wearing... Less clothes than usual. You squeaked and quickly covered yourself with bed's blanket again.
Eddie paid no mind to your squeak, instead he hummed, "Good morning, sleeping beauty! I'm helping you pack up!"
Before you could question what he meant by that, your eyes were drawn to the robot's particularly bloody knuckles.
