Ticci Toby x Mermaid!Reader Part 12

                                                                               ~Toby's POV~

'Are you alright?You've been picking at those waffles for ten minutes.' BEN_Drowned asked, 'Yeah,I'm alright.' I said.The dream last night kept coming back,and the fact Y/N was hurt badly wasn't helping.Y/N had explained that like the ocean,mermaid healing was affected with moon cycle.Last night was a new moon so healing was pretty much normal,but it would get faster over the month. 'Come on BEN!I need to crush you a few more times for old times sake!!' Vee said picking up BEN and carrying him to the gaming tv, 'Good to see Vee's still the same.' I thought. 'Were those dreams really memories?Y/N did say we were best friends,and we were obviously friends in that one dream.' I thought,I didn't even react when Smile Dog stole my waffles. 'Yikes,Toby must be really out of it.Last time Smile did that he chased him around the house for three hours.' Jeff said to Clockwork, 'Actually it was three hours,eleven minutes and fifteen seconds.I timed him.' Clockwork said.Lazari was glaring at Vee, 'Don't tell me you still have a crush on EJ?!' LJ laughed.Ignis just nibbled at her plate of bacon pancakes,Hoodie and Masky were eating cheesecake like usual.But it felt off,usually I would start annoying Masky, start a food fight with LJ and play hide and go seek with Sally.But I just rested my head on one hand and stared at the plate,my proxy mark burned.I sighed and stood up with Masky and Hoodie,we walked upstairs till we reached Slenderman's office.We went in and Hoodie locked the door, 'Sit down.' Slenderman said.We sat down on the wooden chairs, 'Rake managed to escape last night,and hurt Y/N in the process.Unfortunately the hallway we placed him is often used,and he could've heard a lot of important information.I want you to tell the other creepypastas to stay alert,Zalgo is always planning something.' Slenderman said.

                                                                                   ~Your POV~

I just stared at the ceiling while my cheek and hip burned like heck,if I moved too much it got even worse.The only person who's been in here so far was Clockwork,she brought me a plate of bacon and eggs.I was still hungry,but my cheek made it painful to talk much less to shout.I counted the things I could see through the window,most of it were trees and clouds.It was cold today,but the blanket kept me warm.Someone knocked at the door, 'It's me Toby,can I come in?' a familiar voice asked. 'Yes.' I said and my cheek burned,the door opened and Toby walked in.He definitely looked more like the old Toby,and now I think that's a bad thing.Now that I was paying attention I realized he slouched a bit,he usually moved too much for me to see that. 'What was I like before I became a creepypasta?' Toby asked,I gestured to my cheek and shook my head. 'Looks like those marks are gonna scar,even with your magic moon healing thing.' Toby said sitting on my bed, 'I always wonder what it's like to feel pain,I imagine I was like that when I was still human?' Toby asked and I nodded.

                                                                                ~Toby's POV~

I wanted to chop Rake into tiny pieces with a blunt axe for what he did to Y/N, 'Why would Zalgo want to hurt her if he wants her as one of his fighters?' I thought.I never realized how pretty Y/N's S/C(Skin colour)was till I saw the three gashes in her cheek,or how bright and friendly her E/C eyes were before they looked so hurt and defeated now.I wanted to wrap my arms around her and make her feel safe,I wanted to protect Y/N no matter what.
