Our Love - Ticci Toby X Ben Drowned <COMPLETED>

CHAPTER 1 - Just Friends

Ticci Toby's POV:
I was running at lightning speed along with Masky and Clockwork by my side. Masky to my left, holding a gun at the ready and Clockwork to my right, had her grasp on a sharp knife. We were chasing after our kill. Why did no one tell me this girl was such an athlete? She was incredibly fast. She's not human.

After a few minutes of rapidly chasing her, Clockwork and Masky got tired and sat down, 'taking a break'. They had given up by that point. I kept chasing after her. I was definitely not going to give up. I managed to corner her by a tree, until someone spoke.
"Stop toying with the girl!" A high pitched voice yelled above.
I got out my hatchets and slashed the girl. She fell back, staining the tree. I looked up and saw a small blondie, playing his gameboy.
"You try and chase a girl for 10 minutes, successfully kill her when your partners are sitting down 'having a break'!" I yell at the elf.
His face looked a bit shocked and he continued to keep full eye contact.
"Sorry man, just joking. What's up? Something is clearly bothering you." He asked, concerned.

Ben and I have always had a close friendship. We always talked to each other about our problems, we trusted each other a lot. And I mean A LOT. He knows many things about me, and I know many things about him. We've always been like this. Very close friends. But I've always had this feeling that I don't want to be only friends.

Ben Drowned's POV:
"TOBY!" A voice yelled in the distance.
I looked back and saw Clockwork running to Toby. She was clearly exhausted.
"So sorry we left you behind, we were getting really tired." She said with an apologetic face.

Clockwork has had a massive crush on Toby ever since he came here. She's OBSESSED with him, she has always tried to hang out with him. This always made Toby uncomfortable but he always asks for me to help him get out of the situation. Sometimes he does accept. He told me that he agrees sometimes because he doesn't want to ruin their friendship. But Clockwork wants way more than a friendship. Toby just doesn't notice all the hints she gives him. He's stupid when it comes to love. It's not his strong point.

"No it's okay. I get it?" Toby said, with a blank expression.
"Thanks..do you wanna hang out later?" Clockwork asks.
Toby looks straight at me, with the look, "get me out of this please".
"Me and Toby need to do some things today. Our schedule is VERY full today, right Tobes?" I say.
Toby nodes.
"Exactly. Me and Ben need to do A LOT of things!" Toby adds, glaring at Clockwork.
Clockwork sighs and nods. She starts to head to the mansion.

Clockwork's POV:
That supid elf. Ruining everything. I swear, everytime I try to ask to hang out with Toby. But Ben ALWAYS has something to say. Like "We're busy" or "He has to do this" or "He has to do that". Ben makes excuses so that Toby can't hang out with me. And I think I know why. Ben has always had a massive crush on him, and he wants to keep him all to himself. Seeing Toby with Ben makes my blood boil. Can Toby not see that Ben is trying to tear us apart? We are meant for each other!

I sigh and nod. I start running to the mansion with angry tears filling my eyes and my fists clenched. If Toby was going to do nothing about that gamer elf, then I will. After all, Toby is my beloved. He won't care.

Ticci Toby's POV:
Ben and I watch as Clockwork rushes to the mansion. She seems upset.
"Hey Ben..thanks for getting me out of that." I say, staring at Ben.
He looks back at me.
"No problem. I know she makes me feel uncomfortable. Wanna talk about what's going on? You seemed a bit different before Clockwork came around." He says, looking at me, with a worried face.
"No thanks. I wanna keep this to myself for now. But thanks for asking." I say with a warm smile.

BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ. A phone rings. I pull out my phone and I can feel my face change.
I say, "Come here Ben, you need to see this."

Ben Drowned's POV:
I look at him confused. I jump off the tree branch. Toby walks up to me and shows me his phone. It was a muggie of Jeff, someone sent on the group chat. Me and Toby burst out, roaring laughing. Jeff normally has muggies of other people, and sends them, but now the tables have turned. And it was as funny as ever.

Once me and Toby had finished laughing, me and Toby walked back to the Mansion. One step foot and EJ came running towards us.
"OMG DID YOU GUYS SEE THE PICTURES?" EJ asked, laughing.
"Yeah, I showed them to Ben. It's not funny." Toby says with a straight face.
Me and EJ look at him confused. He was laughing about it a few minutes ago?
Toby starts to laugh.
"THEY'RE HILARIOUS!!" He roars, wheezing.
Which caused me and EJ to start laughing as well. I mean, you gotta admit. It was funny.

After the whole laugh, me and Toby walk back upstairs. Toby turns to me and hugs me. I blushed hard. I'd gotten a few little hugs from Toby before but this one was different. It was more tight and longer. This hug seemed genuine. It was a true hug.
Eventually he let go of me, and his face was scarlet red. He was blushing. We stare at each other for a few seconds, both blushing until someone starting yelling in the hallway.
"TOBY! TOBY! I need to talk to you!!" Clockwork yells behind him.
Toby looks at me again, but not with his look. No, no, no. He looks worried.
"Toby, I really need to tal-" She starts to say before Toby cuts her off.
Toby says, "Sorry Clocky, but me and Ben have got things to do."
Clockwork glares at me, with a nasty look. Then looks back at Toby with a sweet smile. (I hate it when that woman does that) She grasps onto his hands and speaks.
"It'll be quick, I promise! Plus, this is actually really important and I've been meaning to tell you for ages!" She says with her sweet little innocent voice. God I hate that voice!
Toby sighs.
"Fine, fine. But quick. I've got things to do." He says, with a bit of attitude.
"Great!" She exclaims, with a wide smile on her face along with her blushing.
She drags him to her room, while walking to her room, she looks back at me and gives me the nastiest, dirtiest, rudest look ever. And I think I understood what she wanted to talk about with Toby.
I know what's going to happen.

Ticci Toby's POV:
Clockwork dragged me to her room and sat on the end of her bed. I sat next to her.
"Soooo, you wanted to talk about something?" I ask, with a hint of curiosity.
Clockwork starts to speak. My mouth hung wide open.
