"They get back tomorrow" Toby mumbled quietly, I locked eyes with him, he was sitting on the opposite end of the couch. This reminder was enough to pry my eyes away from the TV - he was right. It doesn't feel like any time at all since they left... And to think I hated Toby before this. I mean, we are a thing now, we just haven't said anything about it - It's really fucking awkward for the both of us. "Are we gonna tell them?" He whispered almost vulnerably, I hooked my arm around his shoulders and drew him close to me, stroking his hair with my offhand.

"Fuck em." I grumbled, hearing his breath hitch in a small laugh.

"W-What about Hoodie? You trust him." Yeah... Trust... Trust the man that... No... Don't... Think like that. Forget. It didn't happen if you don't think about it...

"Sure, if you want."


Our attention turned back to the TV as we gradually got closer and closer until he was sat slanted in my lap with my hands clutching his, my head resting on his and our legs tangled. I smiled as he let out a small yawn, rubbing his eyes and stretching as much as our so intimately placed bodies would allow.

"Tim?" Toby asked, 

"Hm?"

"What type of music do you like?" I hesitated. He could sense it. "C'mon, you can tell me." And so I reached in my pocket and pulled out my phone, handing him an earphone and pausing at my playlist folder. Am I really going to...? I'm sure he won't like any of this. But... He'll still respect me... Right? Ugh, I just don't know.


~I'm in the business of misery let's take it from the top,

She's got a body like an hourglass, ticking like a clock,

It's a matter of time before we all run out,

When I thought he was mine she caught him by the mouth,

I waited eight long months, she finally set him free,

I told him I couldn't lie, he was the only one for me,

Two weeks and we'd caught on fire,

She's got it out for me but I wear the biggest smile.~

"Ooh, who's this?" Toby asked, "Sounds cool, like pop but better." I grinned.

"Paramore - Misery business. You wanna... Listen to some other stuff?" He nodded eagerly.

"What else ya got?" 

~Kickin' it out!

Your dream vacation, smile hostage refuge,

Your work in progress, you bleed just like you puke while runnin' a mile,

I beg to differ, make me an offer,

Warm summer rain, you bleed just like you puke while runnin' a mile.~

Now this was a bit more... Extreme than paramore, still quite toned down compared to most of the bands people listen to. I didn't like full on screamo, but when songs slip into it, I can't help but get addicted. "I've never heard any other songs by The Used, but Pretty Handsome Awkward is awesome"

~Well if you wanted hosnesty that's all you had to say,

I never want to let you down or have you go it's better off this way,

For all the dirty looks, the photographs your boyfriend took,

Remember when you broke your foot from jumping out the second floor?~

Ah, nothin' like a little bit of good old My Chemical Romance! This band goes way back with me, way back into college. I love this band, and I was so heartbroken when they split. I continued to hum I'm Not Okay until I found the next song I wanted to show him.

~A freak of nature, stuck in reality,

I don't fit the picture, i'm not what you want me to be, sorry,

Under the radar, out of the system, caught in the spotlight, that's my existence,

You want me to change, but all I feel is strange~

"I like this song... Reminds me of...Me... And people like us." Toby piped in. I nodded.

"This song was made to model Alice in Wonderland, I believe. Tokio hotel."


Many more songs followed, an evening filled with music and sharing thoughts. Toby is quite a down to earth person when he acts his age, well, not like it's his fault... Most of the time.

"Do you have any songs that make you think of yourself? Or that mean something to you?" I nodded, switching to the track. It's my fucking reflection in audial form. (Song at the top)

~There's a war inside my head, sometimes I wish that I was dead, 

I'm broken,

So I call this therapist and she says girl you can't be fixed just take this,

I'm tired of trying to normal,

I'm always overthinkin',

I'm driving myself crazy,

So what if I'm fucking crazy? 

And I don't need your quick fix,

I don't want your perscription,

Just cause you think I'm crazy,

So what if I'm fucking crazy, 

And I'm gonna show you,

Loco, maniac, sick bitch, psychopath,

Yeah I'm gonna show you, I'm gonna show you, I'm gonna show you,

Mental, out my brain, batshit, so insane,

Yeah I'm gonna show you, I'm gonna show you, yeah I'm gonna show you!~

Toby lets out a soft, 'Hmph', looking into my eyes, "Well, I don't think you're that bad. And you have a pretty good music taste too." I look down at the clock on my phone and frown.

"Think it's bout time we go to bed, don't you?" I cheered mentally. Toby likes my music! Now we can share headphones and all that soppy couple stuff. 

I'm so lucky to have such an amazing boyfriend who doesn't judge me.
