"Don't be getting any ideas!" GLaDOS hissed, and Chell shuddered. She hated it when GLaDOS had that tone. That was the kind of tone that kept her up at night, and made her toss and turn. She chewed at her lip and stared at the cake, her eyes only watering now.
The cake wasn't a lie. Whoever wrote that on the walls was the one who lied. GLaDOS never lied to me. GLaDOS cares about me.
"You know, Chell, I've come to the realization that there are no knives in the break room. And I'm not giving you one. So I guess you should probably just put the cake back in the device and call it a day." GLaDOS said, with no trace of emotion in her voice at all.
She was always good at hiding her emotions. Chell knew that first-hand. She shuffled over to the table and wiped off the fork she used to eat her dinner. She could just use a fork. After all, it was her cake anyway.
"Are you kidding me? You're going to be a savage and just eat the cake with a fork? That is the most vile, disgusting thing I have ever seen a human do. I knew you were different than the other filthy, dirty, ugly humans. But I didn't think you'd go this low," GLaDOS spat.
Chell refrained a gasp, or sob, or whatever noise she was about to make in the pit of her throat. Suddenly, she felt so sick to her stomach that she didn't want to eat the cake anymore. GLaDOS has never insulted her that way before. She wished that things could be easy. She wished that GLaDOS would just swallow her pride and tell her that she had feelings for her. She wished that she could caress her large, robotic head without the fear of being killed or harmed. She pursed her lips and put the fork down, picked up the cake, and put it back in the fridge.
For once, GLaDOS was ashamed and speechless. She saw the hurt in Chell's expression, and she felt horrible. Was the cake going to just be a waste now? "…Good, thank you for listening to me," For once, she added silently.
Chell nodded, and put her long fall boots back on. "I'm done with my break," she said. The door swung open and she entered the lift, tears streaming down her face once again, but this time she felt her heart snap.
