     WALKING WITH A distant look, you only returned to reality when stripes clicked her finger in front of your face. you blinked twice, turning your head to the demon with a questioning brow.

"focus, i don't want you tripping on a branch." she frowned, gesturing to the not so stable path ahead. stripes wasn't mad with you, she was more or less annoyed with how you were getting distracted easily.

today was the day where you led the zalgoid siblings to sadiya's house. you were sure the two knew the way, however they never stopped you from tagging along.

"watch it." toby hissed with a pointed finger, narrowing his eyes behind his goggles. "y/n's in great hands!" he twitched involuntarily.

they never stopped toby from tagging along either.

stripes rolled her eyes in reply, adjusting the bag on her back before catching up to lazari ahead. you turned your head the opposite direction, staring at the brunette who intertwined his fingers with yours.

toby had caught you going out with the siblings and he was curious for the most part. the fact that the two siblings also had heavy loaded bags didn't help the curiosity but only grew even more.

that and the fact that he's well aware the history you have with the amount of times you went out. for an angel, you really didn't have any good luck to spare around.

toby had caught you staring for longer than needed, he squeezed your hand to get your head out the clouds, teasingly throwing a remark. "kiss me already." he chuckled, mindlessly leading you after the siblings, making sure you wouldn't trip like stripes said.

then once again, your head was up in the clouds, not bothered to give him a reply. this undoubtedly earned a frown from toby, his usual jokes weren't working on you, hell you hadn't given him that soft sweet smile of yours for that past ten minutes now!

he was starting to think that he had done something wrong yet again, he himself was getting upset with the conclusions he was making. however suddenly, he felt feathers tickle him.

one of your wings had wrapped gently around the brunette, toby snapped his gaze back at you in hopes to see you smiling but you were still in that dazed state, staring ahead.

okay well, you weren't upset with him so that was a good thing. though regardless of him wanting to sulk at your lack of attention, another part of him was concerned. sure he's seen you daydream before but not this frequently. what could have been bothering you so much?

toby found himself subconsciously squeezing your hand once again, this time trying to reassure himself that you weren't in some sort of dilemma. he has noticed that you were always fighting your battles in that pretty head of yours, toby wasn't as observant as hoodie or masky but once he is, he couldn't let it go.

he likes to watch you. in a creepy way or not? that honestly didn't matter.

toby has observed you for some time now, from the way your wings would shift when your emotions switched or the way you'd fiddle with your burned hands when deep in thought. he's noticed about almost everything. he likes to look at you, he likes to stare.
