Chapter I

(Sorry if they're OOC.)

I never knew love can be so frightening. It was torture. I waited for 5 years for this feelings to disappear. But fate just gave a new punishment to me, that is for Toby to hear that story...

°°°

"Toby. Wake up, it's already 9!" I grunted and put my pillow at my face and continue to my sweet sleep with my Ma–waffles

"Whyy?" I trailed my question and then I felt someone held both my legs and...

"THAT IS SO RUDE!! PUT ME DOWN!!" I flailed around and try to get away from the intruder's arms but since I just woke up, I can't get away

"Not until you're wide awake." Hoodie said, yep, that silent giant dares to wake me up from my sleep

"I'm already awake! Put me down! Put me down! Put! Me! Down!" I kept punching him at his chest but he won't even budge

What is he?! Man of steel?! Damn morning wake up calls!!

And I knew there's only one way for this giant to let me go. I took a deep breath and shout.

"EJ!!!"

And with that, he quickly let go of me without any grace. Good thing I can't feel any pain even if my face is currently kissing the damn floor.

"Ah. My bad." Fuck you

"What's going on?!" My hero has arrived, yey.

Hoodie helped me up and my eyes widen as I saw EJ with Masky. Both looking like they just woke up. Could it be...

"Did you two slept together?" All I know is a shoe went hitting my face and a curse from EJ

°°°

"Does it hurt?" Clocky asks me while rubbing some ointment at my cheek

We're in the kitchen now, since I need to take care of my bruise.

"Nah, I can't feel any pain anyway." I said but still pouting

"Who even threw a shoe at you?" She asked again with a furrowed brows

She's still wearing her pajamas and her hair into loose ponytail, since Jane was still asleep I asked her if she can help me with the incoming bruise and redness of my cheek.

"An intruder." I said with a blank look

I saw Hoodie sitting at the counter while holding his camera and a peace sign at his other hand. He didn't even try to say sorry and all he's doing is filming. Ass.

"Intruder? Toby, you know that no intruder will get inside your room." She said in a matter-of-fact tone

"Well one did." I said and stuck my tongue out at Hoodie

EJ and Masky came inside the kitchen and both looks like they both got out of shower. I opened my mouth again without realising the upcoming attack.

"So you guys are taking a shower together?" Instead of a shoe, a clipboard went hitting my forehead and scalpel almost hitting me and ended up at the cupboard behind me making me fall down at my chair

"TOBY!! Oh my goodness, are you still alive?!"

...

...

...

"We've told you a bunch of times, shorty." I pouted at what Jeff called me

"Ya need to shut your mouth when it comes to stuff like that." He said and smirked at me

"It's not my fault they both came down at the same time!" I complained and tried to defend myself

I can't help it! They both got down at the same time with wet hair!

"You're such an idiotic shorty. You better start practicing your explanation to Slenderp on why you have a couple bandages at your face." He said and laughed at me

When he came down and saw my face, I already expect a loud laugh while a pointing finger at me instead of asking if I'm fine.

"Jeff, cut him some slack will you? He got hit twice, well three times." Clocky said and Hoodie's just sitting beside me while watching at his camera

"Oh. I manage to record their second attack." He said to himself and Jeff quickly went to his side and laughed loudly, again

"Holy mother of all shit! Hahaha! You got hit! You got hit!" He said and laughed while holding his stomach at laughed more

I glared at the direction of EJ and Masky who's just at the other couch.

"What the hell happened to your face?" We all looked upstairs and saw Ben yawning while floating and Sally at his back

"Toby looks like a mummy!!" Sally squealed and at the rest of the morning, everyone kept on asking me what happened and Jeff 'gladly' explained to them

Eyeless Jack's POV

"Toby." I felt a sweat run down my cheek as he only crossed his arms and look the other way while pouting

It's cute. But he shouldn't have said what's in his mind just like that.

"He still won't talk?" I looked beside me and saw Masky with his arms crossed as well, he's pissed

"Oi, brat. Better stop that fucking action of yours and eat you lunch." He said and grab Toby's collar

I got nervous, thinking that Masky might hurt him. But he just drag Toby by his collar towards the dining room, ignoring Toby's complaints.

"That's quite something." I jumped when I felt a pair of hands snaked around my waist and look behind me

"Hey, Hoodie." I said lowly and blushed behind my mask and look down

"Hey." He rested his chin at my shoulder, "He's gonna eat?" He asked with a playful tone, tightening his embrace a bit

"Masky dragged him. Come on, we should eat as well."

Third Person POV

During lunch, the table was filled with laughters as if everything was normal. But no matter how many times the masked proxy would act harsh and as if he never met the young proxy before, he can never hide the fact that every day, he felt pain just by looking at his loved one, smiling at him not because he knows, but because he sees him as Masky and not Timothy.

The mere thought made the masked man to be silent, but would constantly tell the young proxy to eat. He knows his love one is always with him now, but it was never the same, because he's the only one who looks at the young proxy with love but the young proxy only looks at him as a fellow proxy and a friend.

"I'm done. Hoodie, make sure this brat would finish his meal." The hooded proxy nodded and looked at the boy, who flinched and continues to eat

But before Masky can go out. Toby stood up and went behind him and lean towards his ear and whispers. Nobody seems to care as they only continue to their own meals.

"Do you really hate me that much, Timmy?"

Wide eyes. Stiff figure. And quivering lips. He wanted to turn around and deny that question. He wanted to tell the young proxy that he loves him, that he cherishes him, that hating him is the least feeling he will have.

But he didn't.

Instead gave an answer that broke the final hope of making Toby love him once more. And left, leaving a broken proxy.

"Yes."

...ever since their accidental meeting. The young boy kept on visiting the place where he met the killer, he knows that it was dangerous but he can't help it as whenever he thinks of that killer he couldn't help but to smile...

"You're here again?"

"Hi Timmy."

...that killer always have another person with him, his best friend, those three would always hang out at that place. Completely forgetting that they're killers and the young boy in front of them is just an innocent civilian...

"Mm...your hurting people Timmy, Brian? That's fine, you have a reason and I'll listen to it someday!"

...but both killers didn't expect that the young boy won't run away, but instead, stayed and smiled...

...they would smile, laugh, the other killer would tease his friend and the young boy on how they look perfect together...

"But Tim. Remember, he's a kid. Don't be a pedophile."

"Shut up Brian!"

"Pedophile?"

...it was unfair.
