I'm So Glad I Found You : Quintis Fic

Not All Wounds are Visible

Toby's phone blasts the obnoxious jingle, breaking Toby out of his restful sleep with a loud groan. The song continues to play while he yawns real big and stretches his arms, and by that time Happy is already starting to grumble under her breath.

Toby blinks a few times, in an attempt to remove the haziness from his eyes. He grabs for his phone and unplugs it, gazing at the bright screen until he can read the caller ID. It was Paige. He grunted and answered the call, then pressed the phone to his ear.

"What do you want?" he groaned, "It's far too early to awake the people doing you and your new hunk a favor."

"Toby," Paige sighs, "it's 11 in the morning, you guys should be up by now."

Toby's eyes snap open and he sits up in the bed, letting the warm sheets fall to his lap. He glances over at the alarm clock and sure enough, it was past 11. He looks down at Happy sleeping beside him.

"Uh, yeah. I know that, I was just playing with ya," he and Paige both new it was a flat out lie, but he jumps out of bed anyway and rushes to pull on a dirty t-shirt. She was about to reply, but he beat her to it.

"Let me get you Ralph, you probably want to talk to him," Toby places a hand on the phone in an attempt to muffle what Paige hears.

"Ralph! Your mother is on the phone, come distract her."

Toby heard a loud groan followed by a series of thumps. Ralph wasn't all that awake either it seemed. While Ralph was making his way to the room Toby turned around to see Happy yawning, glaring at him with an angry frown. He probably should have thought twice before yelling across the small apartment.

Eventually ralph stumbled into the room, with bleary eyes and ruffled hair. So when Toby threw the phone at him, he nearly dropped it. Fumbling for a couple seconds before catching it safely in his hands then pressing it to his ear after a quick yawn. Happy simply sits on the bed and continues to rub at her eyes, while Toby frantically runs around the room trying to find a clean pair of jeans, but failing miserably.

After a couple minutes, Ralph covered the phone much like Toby did before and looked up at Toby, dressing himself in the clothes from a few days before.

"My mom wants to have lunch with us," Ralph whispers.

Toby holds back the string of curses in the back of his throat and throws his head back and groans in annoyance before yelling for Sage.

"Sage! Get up!" He yells, pulling his pants back off, letting them fall around his ankles, and stepping out of them while trying not to trip in his rush to get to the bathroom. He grabs a towel, before running to the bathroom to take a shower after succeeding to untangle himself from his jeans.

After he had closed the door and turned on the water, Sage ran into the room, wide awake and ready for whatever was about to be thrown at her. She glances around in confusion. Ralph was still talking on the phone to his mother, trying to occupy her with as much small talk as he could muster, and Happy was up and pulling at the curtains to let the bright light of the late morning stream into the dull room. Toby yelled at them from the bathroom, speaking loud enough to be heard over the stream of running water.

"Everybody get things ready for a shower for when I get out! We need to meet up with Paige and Walt for lunch." That is when Happy began to understand what the big ruckus was about. If Paige ever found out why all four of them were sound asleep when it was nearly noon, she would surely kill both Toby and Happy. She was definitely a very overprotective momma bear.

"Ralph. Go pack up your things, just in case your mom wants you home right away," Happy directs, pushing the two out of the room. "Sage, help him, and then get your clothes together for a shower".
