Ticci Toby x Homicide Liu

Help and More Secrets

Liu's P.O.V.

I jolted to the bathroom, besides a pain in my foot from when Toby slammed the door earlier. I grabbed some gauze wrap and a knife. I ran back to Toby and he was trying to stop the bleeding but failing because of how weak he was at the moment. His eyes widened as he saw the knife in my hand. W-w-w-w-what are y-y-y-you going to do with t-that..?! He slightly yelled. I tried saying 'Trust me' but it only came out as a whisper. He panicked when I put the blade to my skin and drew blood. I tried to pull up his pants' leg and failed as he got it up. I put my arm to his leg sitting on the bed in the process. Sure, it stung a bit, but anything for Toby, besides he did save my life a few hours ago.... Toby told me to take my arm off of him and that he was fine. You're still p-pale, Toby.... I whispered, my throat still hurting if I talked to loud. I'm always pale, L- Paler than normal, Toby. I said a bit louder this time, despite the pain in my throat. O-oh.... Well, it's fine really. Save your blood supply, Liu, you need it. He chuckled as if all of this didn't matter for the sake of his life. Fine.... I sighed, giving in to his innocence. Want me to wrap up your leg? I asked. O-okay, thanks.... Also, Liu, stop talking and save your voice for when you need it, okay? I don't want you to lose it. He said quietly. I nodded in response. I pointed to his leg, signaling him that I needed to wrap it up, before I was the one with too much blood-loss. O-oh, okay. He said, pulling his leg up where I could wrap it up and quickly did so and felt something on my arm.  When I looked down I saw Toby touching my arm where the cut was and tapped his shoulder and he stopped and licked his finger, which had my blood on it. I was startled by this. What I knew about Toby never had anything to do with liking the taste of blood, and I was getting my information from Masky, who goes on a lot of missions with him. Though he was realizing that Toby actually weighs less now then he did when he first got here. That may sound good, but he has gotten weaker on missions according to Masky, and that worries me. How many things is Toby not telling me...? I wrote on a sheet of paper from a journal Toby had given me 'Toby, are you hiding something from me? Well, besides anything personal, that is...?' When he read it, he said 'No' in a somewhat panicked tone. He gave me the journal back as he saw I wanted to say something. 'Toby, please, just answer me, I only want to help. And I know this is a bad time and way to be saying this, but are you hungry, I am....' I wrote on the paper and gave it to Toby. Not really, to be honest. He said and I basically knew that he was answering my question about being hungry Ho- I told you not to talk. And it gets easy not to be hungry when you don't e- He covered his mouth just as quickly as he opened it, keeping me from knowing something important. T-Toby, tell me...... I whispered as tears formed in my eyes with what he was about to say a second ago. F-fine.... I haven't really eaten mu- that would be an under-statement..... I haven't eaten ANYTHING besides an apple every few days for the past month or so..... He could tell I was questioning him and just simply said like it was no big deal, Depression sucks, it really does. I opened my arms for a hug, but he only shook his head. Your j-just like her, always cheerful no mater what, unless....he.....hurt us.....and......never cries in front of anyone.... Some DAD. I mean really, who the HELL abuses their family and then can't defend himself from a 16 YEAR OLD BOY with a knife. Hmf, got what he deserved. I hope he rots in HELL. L-Lyra...? Toby kept rambling, most likely his voices getting to him, but who is 'Lyra'?

Toby's P.O.V.

Toby.... I'm sorry I didn't make it....

No it was MY fault....

HAHAHAHAHA IS TOBY GONNA CRY!?!?!?!?

Leave me a-alone....

NEVER! YOU LITTLE PRICK!!!!

Shut up....

AS WE SAID, NEVER!!!!

SHUT UP!!!!!!!! I yelled as Liu jumped at my sudden actions, and despite me just yelling, he opened his arms again as I started crying. He really was JUST like Lyra. At the time, I didn't feel well, and something must have triggered in Liu's mind that I didn't, because he put his hand to my fore-head. He wrote in the journal 'What's wrong, Toby? Don't lie, I know something's up.' I have a stomach-ache. It's no big deal.... I just wanna sleep. I said to him quietly and unexpectedly he pulled me over towards him. 'It's because you haven't eaten anything, Toby'  Is all I wanted to read but he forced me to read more of it. 'Go get an apple, Toby' At first, I refused, but then he wrote 'No apple, no sleep, and no it's not for me, kicking me out of my own bed. I growled under my breathe and went to get an apple. When I got back, Liu grabbed the apple from my hand and took a bite out of it. I thought you said that wasn't for you...? He gave me a 'I know' type of look. By this point, I was VERY confused, Wh- mpf! He leaned down and kissed me, shoving what he had in his mouth into mine. Swallow it, Toby. He said in a stern but also pained tone, his voice cracking from not having anything to drink for a while. Fine, I swallowed it. I said, showing him my mouth was empty. Do I have to keep doing this...? I asked He then nodded with a strange smile, as if wanting to do something else....
