Ticci Toby x Reader~ Ticking Love Ch. 10

(Toby’s P.O.V.)

“So what else can he do?” She cooed curiously into my right ear.

I was giving her a piggy-back ride through the woods to Slender’s mansion. And she was being a curious little cutie again.

“Well, he can control some people’s minds and slender walk, which is basically just teleporting.” I chuckled slightly as I answered her thousandth question about Slendy today.

“So he can teleport anywhere?!”

“Yeah.”

“Can you do anything?”

I thought for a moment deciding whether or not I should tell her about my inability to feel physical pain. Then I decided I should, just because she should know in case of anything. Plus, I feel like the love of my life should know everything about me, even if it’s not exactly glamorous.

“Well, nothing supernatural like that. I just can’t really feel pain.” I said as branches and leaves crushed under my feet.

“So yesterday when I…?” She trailed off adjusting herself on my back.

“Yeah, I didn’t feel that. But nice try, babe.” I chuckled.

“I-I’m sorry. I was just scared. I didn’t mean it.” She whispered as she brought one of her little hands up to stroke my cheek slightly.

“It’s okay, babe. I still love you…  B-b-besides, your h-hot when your angry.” I laughed a little nervously, cursing my voice cracking on the word ‘hot’.

‘Oh fudge. I just said my thoughts aloud again...’ I thought.

“I’m going to pretend you didn’t just say that.” She giggled as she nuzzled her head into my back and brought her arms more securely around my neck.

“Heh, y-y-you’re a-amazing.” I stuttered unintelligently and brought her legs up around me better.

Eventually the woods cleared into the little field where Slendy’s mansion was visible. I heard her cute ‘oos’ and ‘ahhs’ as she gazed upon the huge dark house. I chuckled at her adorableness. Then she started asking a ton of nonsense questions.

“What if they don’t like me?” She asked as I made my way through the field.

“Who couldn’t like you?” I countered her question with another.

She smiled a little behind me and I brought my legs up the steps of the mansion. I walked up to the door with a beautiful girl around my waist. And reached out to the doorknob, giving it a turn and opening it slowly. I crouched down a bit so my angel could get a better footing when she got off.

Grabbing her hand I led her through the door frame and into the parlor where I helped her out of her cute hoodie and boots, setting her backpack down next to them.

She looked around her surroundings in disbelief.

‘She is too freakin’ cute!’ I thought chuckling a bit and leading her to the living room.

(Reader’s P.O.V.)

So here I am with Toby in some huge mansion out in the middle of the woods filled with killers. I couldn’t help but think they wouldn’t like me or accept me. It was getting me pretty nervous.

“I’M HOME EVERYONE!” Toby yelled through the halls.

I giggled at him and he led me down the neverending hall ways. Doors lined the walls of the walls and it looked sort of intimidating. This place was almost like a haunted house (and could be for all I know) to me. One that you just wanted to run through with your eyes closed. But, it was much easier to walk through with Toby. He made me feel safe. He always did. Even in a place like this.

Before I knew it we were in front of a room with couches and a huge T.V. In front of it sat a boy that… almost resembled Link from Legend of Zelda. He was dressed in a green tunic and hat with a controller in his hand. And sitting next to him was Jeff who I’ve already met before. They were playing Modern Warfare 3.

“No one cares!” The green boy yelled as he shot and killed what was apparently Jeff’s character.

“Grrr, NO FAIR!” Jeff growled at the Link boy.

“How is it not fair?” He asked with a stoner smirk on his face.

“You cheated!”

“Oh please, you’re making me blush. I didn’t cheat.” I could hear the smirk in his voice.

“... I’m going to kill you.” Jeff said grabbing the Link boy’s shirt and closing the space between them.

“Ya’ mad bro?” He asked as Jeff raised a fist.

‘Boy, that Link kid is gutsy.’ I thought.

“Ahem.” Toby cleared his throat catching the attention of both the boys.

They looked away from each other and towards us. They both looked furious at first until… the green one saw me. He flashed me a creeper smirk and Jeff just smiled a sincere one. I wrinkled my nose as he eyed me.

“Greetings and salutations, beautiful. To what do I owe the pleasure?~” He winked one of his red eyes.  

I just cowered behind Toby as fire flickered in his eyes. The Link boy kept looking at me with his perverted gaze. It made me feel uncomfortable and I could feel Toby’s presence got much more… aggressive.

“She. Is. Mine.” Toby said rather possessively, pulling me close to him with an arm around my waist. I just blushed at his uncharacteristic actions and buried my head into his chest to avoid the scary gaze of the Link boy.

“Ah, so this is the (Name) I’ve heard so much about? She’s much more beautiful in person.” The Link boy replied nonchalantly, turning around to face us and resting his head on his arms to get a better look at me.

Toby’s twitching increased and he started to dig his nails into the palm of his hands. Was he really this angry? Over me? That thought made my heart flutter as if I were walking on air. Trusting it to catch me if I were to ever fall. Back to reality though, Toby was furious. rage incarnate.

“I mean it BEN. If you touch her, speak to her, or even think one of those insignificant perverted thoughts in your empty little head about her. I. Will. Kill. You.” He growled as his voice escalated in a crescendo of anger.

The Link boy whose name is apparently “BEN” was having a staring contest with Toby. Both of them shooting daggers into each other’s eyes as if it would actually stab one of them. It truly was a duel. Or a battle of wits, if you will. It was as if Jeff and I were merely sitting on the sidelines. But eventually BEN caved.

“...Grrr… FINE!” He said mumbling colorful words and getting back to his game.

Jeff just smirked his usual smirk and got up to go god knows where in this place. Toby grabbed my hand again and we followed Jeff into what I assumed was the kitchen. It was really spacious but quaint at the same time.

In it was the Slender being I’d met the day before in a pink apron working on something at the counter. Jeff slid past Slenderman and opened the refrigerator, pulling out half a bottle of whiskey and taking a swig.

“Hello, Slendy!” I greeted cheerfully.

He turned around a little surprised looking and looked down at me. His snow-white face almost immediately turned pink and he tried to cover up his apron.

“Oh, (Name). It’s a pleasure to see you here, my dear.” He answered getting back to stirring some sort of cake mix.

“Slendy, we’re hungry!~” Toby complained, prolonging the each word childishly.

“Ugh. Fine, give me a second.” Slendy stopped stirring and we took a seat with Jeff at the dining table.

~Time Skip Till a couple minutes later~

We were getting caught up in a conversation on who would win if Superman and Batman were to have an epic battle as Slender waltzed in with mashed potatoes, steak and some sort of bread in his tentacles. He set them down in front of us as, and we dug in continuing our discussion. Jeff got up and went back down one of the many halls somewhere in the middle of all that.

When we were done Slender took off his demoralizing apron and put the cake he was making in the oven. Then he walked up to us.

“Toby, I need to talk to you about ‘work’ in my office.” He said simply before walking down the many hallways. When he was out of earshot Toby spoke up and gathered our plates together, bring them over to the sink.

“I’ll be right back, babe. I probably won’t be gone for too long. Feel free to explore.” He said wandering off in the same direction as Slender.  

“Okay.~” I replied checking out my surroundings and turning to one of the many random hall ways that cluttered this mansion.

At first I wasn’t scared roaming the halls in the dark. Until I actually took a second to think about where I was.

‘I am in a mansion full of killers.’ I thought as my walking slowed slightly.

That’s when the paranoia sunk in and I began looking over my shoulder constantly expecting something with a kitchen knife to lunge out at me. But there was nothing, all the times I checked. I swore I could hear footsteps though. Or little laughs. They sounded menacing and taunted me.

I was getting super scared now. I turned my head over my shoulder for the thousandth time that night and to my surprise there was actually someone there.

It was a little girl, dressed in a pink dress. She was really cute and pretty but when I took a closer look I noticed she had mud and scratches all over her. I took a couple steps backwards. And she only stepped forward.

“Wanna’ play a game?” She asked cheerfully.

“Uhmm...” I thought as if my next decision depended on my life, “Sure.” I finally answered.

She smiled and took my hand.

‘Oh boy, (Name).’ I thought, ‘What have you gotten yourself into this time?’
