A Dance With The Devil (Ticci Toby X Reader)

Chapter 10

I walked home,yes I know I do this everyday but today was different. Today I had a spring in my step and a smile on my face. I never wake up in a good mood even before Toby showed up but today I couldn't help myself. For once in a long time I felt happy, all because of him.

Even the sight of the crack house didn't bother me,hell I was even skipping at this point. I know right that was something I'd never do,but the streets were empty so no one could see me. I got to the bridge,humming a tune as I walked over. The cars wizzed by creating a great deal of noise, I could barely hear my own thoughts but that didn't even bother me.

I entered my home,it was quieter then usual. I checked all the rooms upstairs and downstairs but there was no one. I was home alone finally! There was always someone at home and that always annoyed me. I walked to my room and dropped the backpack into the corner and went straight into the kitchen.

I made waffle batter, pouring the mixture into the waffle maker. I hummed a tune that I didn't even know but hell I couldn't help myself. At this point I was really feeling the music dancing to my little tune. I neatly packed the waffles onto a plate then danced toward the fridge. I opened it but forgot why the hell I even opened it in the first fucking place. God dammit I hate when this happens.

I closed the fridge door but jumped back, a high pitch scream escaping my lips as I did so. I covered my mouth at my embarrassing outburst. It was Toby, he didn't have his mouth guard on or his goggles. He was smiling and holding a black box decorated with a (F/c) bow. I took my hand off my mouth and smiled back at him.

He pulled me into a tight hug, I stood awkwardly because... I'm not a hugger. A chuckle erupted from the back of his throat. "N-not much of a h-hugger are you?" he asked, not letting go of me. "N-no" I admitted. "W-well I'll ch-change th-that" He said ruffling my hair. "I b-brought you s-something" he said handing me the box.

I smiled and accepted the box with a light blush on my face. I brushed some of my hair behind my ear as I looked down at the box. I slowly undid the ribbon then opened the box. Inside was a finger,a human finger and next to it was an eye roughly pulled from its socket. My eyes widened as I looked at the content in the box. I couldn't help but scream at the sight.

"Dammit Toby, I told you not to get the girl you like body parts. She's not like us remember!" A voice yelled from the hall. It was Masky, he and Hoody walked in and leaned on the door frame. "Hey (Y/n)" Hoody greeted. Toby grabbed the box out of my hand and turned to face Masky and Hoody.

"B-but why, i-it's the b-best thing I c-could g-give her" Toby turned back and faced me again, he pointed at the finger. "Th-this b-belonged t-to that shitty t-transport d-driver, I know he wanted to touch you with his d-disgusting fingers so I cut them off! And the eye b-belongs to that g-girl who wanted t-to b-be your friend." He explained.

I could barely look into the box, but I smiled anyways. It was sweet of him I guess... and I didn't want to hurt his feelings. Clearing my throat I spoke "Thank you T-toby I uh appreciate this b-but if the police find it here they're going to think I did it you know that right." He looked at me with an emotionless face, it was as if he were staring into my soul.

Then he smiled, with his free arm he put it behind my head and pulled me into a sort of chock hold. I knew It was a hug but then again this kind of stuff wasn't my forte. He laughed as he held me tightly. "I know (Y/n), I j-just wanted to show you" Toby said releasing me from his grip.

He turned and walked out of the room, Masky and Hoody looked at me. "Do you have any cheesecake" Masky asked walking further into the kitchen Hoody followed. I looked at them with a smirk on my face, I opened the fridge and pulled out out a slice of cheesecake. Masky Ruffled my hair then Hoody did the same, what was up with these guys and ruffling my hair? Didn't they think I cared about my hair!

I turned around to retrieve a spoon for Masky, then handed it to him. He took the spoon from me then moved his mask to the side reveling his smile. Hoody did the same except he didn't wear a smile. A pair of foot steps came towards the kitchen,it must be Toby. Then another pair of foot steps could be heard.

Toby came to the doorway, I couldn't help but smile. He had his goggles and mouth guard on but pulled it off reveling his smile. But who was Toby walking with then? "(Y/n) Th-this is c-clockwork, my g-girlfriend" he said. Clockwork emerged from behind the doorway and smiled at me. Hoody and Masky seemed to be as surprised as I was, both their mouths were a jar.

It felt as if something inside me broke into pieces,well broke further. My heart was in my throat and my hands started to shake. I felt like someone had stabbed me in the back, like someone ripped my heart out. I was angry and hurt I felt like throwing knives at them but I didn't. I stood there like an idiot with that smile still plastered on my face.

"Nice to meet you" I forced out. It didn't sound forced though it sounded genuine,too genuine. I was so broken it was as if I was on autopilot. Then I heard it,it was a car but not just any car it was Damon's. It pulled up right outside my house. The only other person who recognized the car was Toby. He had an angry expression on his face now.

Clockwork walked up and stood next to me looking at the car. "Son of a bi-" I started growling but I was interrupted by the music, a song i knew all to well. The starting jingle of my favorite 90's show Ed Edd and Eddy. It was my phone, it was ringing. I reached into my pocket and pulled out my phone looking at the caller ID. Damon Harts.

I pressed the answer button and put the phone to my eat. "Hello my (Y/n/n)" He greeted. "Hi" I said in a slightly surprised tone. "Are you at home?" He asked "Yes" I responded. "Good I came to visit you, I would have come yesterday but someone slashed my tires" he explained. I looked at Toby it must have been his work,only he was capable of doing something like that.

I stayed silent, "Hello?" Damon spoke again. "Yes" I spoke my voice becoming more neutral. "Who's at home" Damon asked in a hushed voice. "Nobody" I answered in an even more neutral tone. "Then we can have some fun, if that's okay with you?" Damon asked in a seductive tone.

I looked at everybody in the room,obviously they couldn't hear my conversation but it appeared as if they heard the last part. Masky and Hoodys expressions were hidden by their masks. Clockwork had a grin on her face with one eyebrow was lifted, it seemed as if she were finding entertainment from the whole situation.

Toby had pure rage on his face, it looked as if he were ready to tackle me to the ground in order to stop me from accepting the offer. Why me? Why was I the one cursed with the gift antisocialism but also the deep desire to love. It hurt like a bitch, my heart hurt as I looked at everybody in front of me. All Toby has done was make my life a living hell.

"Ok" I responded my voice now completely neutral, it was as if I was a robot. I put down the phone and put my hands on the kitchen counter and bowed my head down allowing my hair to fall and cover my face. Why was I doing this, why am I letting my pain take over my brain.

The room was silent, Toby walked into the kitchen and gave clockwork a quick kiss on her lips. It was like another blow in the stomach. "Get out" I spat "what?" Toby asked genuinely not knowing what or why I was so upset. "You heard me" I said again in a dark voice. I could feel tears starting to well up in my eyes.

I took my hands off the counter and moved my hair out of my face. "I said Get Out!" I shouted my voice started shaking as I tried to hold back the tears. "Come on guys, it's not like we really care about this pathetic human" clockwork said pulling on Tobys hand. "Yeah you're r-right" Toby said. "Speak for your fucking self idiot" Masky said roughly pushing past Toby, Hoody followed behind him pushing past Toby like Masky did.

I waited for their footsteps to fade away, then I swipped at the waffles on the table. They all came down on the ground along with the plate they had been on. That's when I started crying swiping at the waffle batter on the table. I looked up and saw Hoody starring at me. He walked in, I guess he was a man of few words. He put a hand on my tear soaked face.

He wiped a tear away from my face then pulled his mask up enough to show his mouth. He did something I'd never see him do before,he smiled. "It'll be ok" He saind ruffling my hair again. The front door opened "(Y/n), I let myself in" Damon said. Hoody gave one last smile then quickly left.

Damon walked into the kitchen "wow what happened here" he asked obviously referring to the mess I had made. I didn't answer him I just smiled. He walked in and grabbed a chunk of my hair then lightly pulled it so I was looking up at him. He roughly kissed me whipping a tear away.
