Would You Be Mine? [SQUEAL TO I LIKE YOU MORE THAN I LIKE WAFFLES]

Chapter #13

After months of holding it off, Masky finally decided to tell Toby what he had to be told. And he did it the night before Toby's eighteenth birthday, on April 27.

Toby was standing in his bedroom looking through the books on the shelves of the bookshelf when he heard someone clear their throat from behind him.
He turned around and smiled when he saw that it was Masky standing in the doorway.
"Hey Masky," he greeted as he stepped away from the bookshelf.
"Toby, there's something the Boss and I want to talk to you about," the older male said and Toby's smile faltered as he followed Masky upstairs to Slendy's office where the large man was sitting at his desk, quiet and seemingly thinking about something serious.
"Sir?" Masky quietly called out as he poked his head into the room.
"Enter," Slendy replied and the two Proxies walked into the office, closing the door behind them.
"Masky said there's something we need to talk about?" Toby asked and Slendy sighed as he nodded his head.
"Yes, and I'm afraid that this won't be a very positive conversation," the creature replied and stood up, walking over to the two males and looming over them.
"Toby, you enjoy being here and being with us, correct?" he questioned and the teen nodded his head in reply.
"Would you like to permanently stay here with us?"
Again, Toby nodded his head.
"Then I have just one more question; Would you be willing to give up your normal life as a human to become a true Proxy?"
Toby's eyes widened and he looked over at Masky who continued to stare down at the carpeted floor.
"You mean that if I wanted to stay here--with all of you--I'd have to give up the life I have with my mom and siblings?" he asked and it was Slendy's turn to nod his head.
"I'm afraid so. That would be the only way that you would be able to stay here. If you do not wish to give up your normal life, then all memory of this place and of these people will be erased from your mind," he explained and Toby closed his eyes, thinking for a few moments, before opening them back up and nodding his head.
"I-I want to stay here and I don't want to forget any of you. If that means giving up my normal life, then so be it," he said.
Suddenly, the room fell into complete darkness and Toby could barely make out where Masky and Slendy were.
"Toby, you must swear to follow every order the Operator gives you," an unidentified voice whispered in the brunette's ear.
"I-I swear," Toby replied, his body twitching.
"Do you swear to be loyal and never go against direct instructions?" the same voice whispered and Toby's reply was the same.
He cried out as his entire body began to tingle and he began to feel lightheaded, eventually falling to his knees and tightly gripping his hair in his hands.
The single whisper turned into a multitude of unidentified voices and before long, Toby blacked out and fell into the darkness that was his mind.
Memories raced past him, memories of his mother, his father, his sister, the twins, and his friends from school.
As they began to slow down, Toby slowly regained consciousness and found himself in his bedroom feeling completely fine.
"Thank God you're awake," Masky said as he tightly wrapped his arms around the teen who slowly returned the hug.
"W-What h-happened?" he stuttered and Masky pulled back, his mask gone and a grin on his face.
"You're a true Proxy now, like Hoodie and I. You're one of us," he replied and a grin spread across Toby's face as he tightly hugged his lover who laughed and pulled him out of bed to properly hug the new Proxy.
"You know what? I think you deserve a new outfit and I have just the one. Hoodie helped me pick it out while you were still out cold," the young man said and pulled Toby into his own room, tossing him a blue jacket and a hat with an envelope with a black 'x' over it on the white front of said hat.
"Boss also agreed that an outfit change was in order since you've had that one for a while now," Hoodie said as he popped out of the closet, scaring the hell out of Toby.
"Still jumpy, eh? Well, Jeff's gonna have a blast with that," Masky said with a chuckle.
"I'll just beat the shit out of him," the younger boy said and the other two Proxies laughed.
So this is what being one of them is like? Hm, I like it! Toby thought with a grin as he replaced his hoodie with the blue jacket and placed the hat on top of his head.
"That actually looks better than your old outfit," Hoodie commented and Toby rolled the sleeves of the jacket up to his elbows, showing the bandages wrapped around his forearms.
I like this life...Toby thought with a small smile as he tightly hugged his partners that chuckled at his childishness.

Toby: I LOOK FUCKING AWESOME!

Jeff: You still look like a dork.
