Ticking with Love (Ticci-Toby x reader)

Ch. 3

"Wh-what?"
"It's not hard to comprehend sweetheart." He nonchalantly replied. Easy for you to say.
I noted in my head before taking in his features, blonde hair under what seems to be a green little hat, black and reddish hue eyes, a scrawny but a bit lean body in a leather tunic, he sorta resembles- what was it again, Link!
I mentally realized that I was staring at him the whole time.
   "Like what you see?" Blushing profusely before I realized I was being carried in his arms. Struggling out, I landed on the leaf covered ground with a gentle, quite 'oof'. He seemed a bit startled- "Woah there-" the next thing I knew was him dangerously close and was pinning me down.
   "A bit eager now aren't ya?" He stated before shooting me a wink, which didn't help as my flushed face grew hotter. Forcefully pushing him off I started to hyperventilate as tears and broken sobs escaped from me.

This is too much for me to handle.

(BEN's POV)

   When she pushed me off I felt a slight pain in my chest.
Probably hit something
   I noted, but what happened next was quite unexpected for me. I expected her to start yelling at me but her breathing started to get rapid as tears and sobs broke free from her.
What do I do? What do I do???
I panicked, Slender is going to have my head if anything happened to her. Before I started to panic even more, slowly crawling towards her I started to awkwardly pat her back as her crying and sobbing intensified. 
   "Shh it's okay umm.."
   "Y-y/n" She answered, her crying dying down a bit before I heard some leaves rustle and a burning pain in my side.

Why am I always in these situations?

(Your POV)

    As soon as I heard a painful yelp I quickly shut my eyes and tried to quiet down my terrified sobbing.
   "It's okay I'm here." A familiar comforting voice said as they gently played with my (h/c) locks, "Y-y/n O-open your eyes it's m-me." A soothing voice cooed, slowly opening my (e/c) eyes I was met with hazel ones staring right at me with a calm and gentle expression, messy brown locks, orange tinted goggles sitting above his head- sniffing I quietly croaked, "Toby?" And before I knew it he cupped my cheeks and placed his forehead against fine extremely close to my liking before he quietly murmured-"A pretty girl like you shouldn't be crying."
   My face quickly flushed a reddish pink hue before a forced cough was heard, I then met eyes with an awkward BEN staring at us. Toby then removed this head against mine and I immediately missed the warmth, he then stood up and walked towards BEN, his ticking dangerously getting faster before pulling BEN up by his tunic and slamming him against a nearby tree causing a wince from me and a painful cry from him.
   "Y-you better h-have a-a good r-reason for why y-y/n is crying." He slowly threatened as his twitching increased, the silence was utmostly unbearable before I broke it.
  "Toby you're scaring me." I quietly whimpered so quietly that you can barely hear it, but both the boys sure did. Toby quickly dropped BEN and rushed towards me before securely wrapping his arms around my waist and placed his head against the crook of my neck, my breath hitched as I could feel his warm breath against it.  
   "Again t-tell me why y/n is w-with you." BEN scoffed and grabbed his own shoulder slouching a bit.
   "Slender ordered me too, he wants her a the mansion." Toby's grip on me tightened so much that I let out a small whimper causing his to loosely hold on to my waist again with a small sorry before letting a husky growl. "Fine," was all he said as he then carried me bridal style causing me to automatically wrap my arms around his neck.
    "Hold on," he murmured softly making eye contact with me, "This might take awhile." Tired from today's events I only nodded and slipped into a dreamless sleep.

   As soon as I heard the crunching and rustling of leaves, I groggily opened my eyes and let out a small yawn. The first thing I noticed was an old, worn down mansion. Gasping in awe I managed to choke out, "Where are we."
Toby only stayed silent with a glare at the building while BEN went forward, turning his head before saying "Home."
   Stepping aside for us, BEN only nodded to Toby as we went in, only for a figure with a deformed grin to pop right in front of us. Toby and BEN didn't seem phased by it but I was, letting out a quite gasp. I then buried my face in a warm chest before realizing I was still being carried by Toby.
Hearing a dangerous husky rumble from Toby and a threatening growl from BEN.
  "Woah there guys, chill." A voice which I figured belonged to the grinning person, before feeling a close presence.
   "So who's the girly?" peeking from Toby's chest, I was very close for comfort towards the figure causing me to bury my face in the warm comfort of Toby. Apparently, Toby didn't like how close the figure was to me so he started to growl and murmur some frightening things, feeling a warm hand cascade down my hair to my chin and tilting it up, I was once again met with warm hazel pools.
   "Don't worry y/n I won't let him hurt you." Meekly nodding I slowly got off from Toby's arms, giving him a small smile "I hope I wasn't too heavy for you."
He only chuckles and tucked a loose strand of hair behind my ear, our moment was ended from a nearby a cough from BEN earning him a glare from Toby. Backing off with a flushed face I quietly greeted the awkward stranger, "I'm y/n." I softly murmured. "The names Jeff, doll, as in Jeff the killer."
Letting out a small whimper I quickly scampered to where Toby stood lost in thought.
Why is this happening to me?
As curiosity took control, what scared me the most from Jeff was his lidless eyes, bleached leathery skin, and the most frightening thing of all, a carved grin. I jerked up from my thoughts from BEN and Jeff arguing about who knows what, I only got snippets from their argument.
"Oh c'mon BEN it wasn't that bad but at least you got a walk with a girl- and might I add, hold her."
   "True," BEN replies. Causing to redden my face for millionth time today, before BEN noticed and thus woke Toby from his lost thoughts with an idea-"Maybe we should show her the others so they won't accidentally k-" He was cut off by an angry Toby.   
  "Er I mean so they won't be so freaked out." Toby only grunted and pulled me in what seemed to be a kitchen accompanied by two masked strangers, Toby points to a boy with a mask on. "That's Masky, pretty easy to remember." Before pointing to the other boy sitting next to him. He was wearing a yellow jacket and had a black mask with a sad face painted in red. "That's Hoodie."
  "Masky, Hoodie, meet y/n, Slender has requested her here." They only grunted in response going back to eat what seems to be cheesecake.
    Jeff points at a boy with a dark blue sweatshirt and black jeans, wearing a blue mask with black eyes oozing black liquid that had just walked down from the stairs. "That's Eyeless Jack, he's also our medic." He nodded and gave a silent wave to me which I responded meekly with a small smile.
   BEN now dragging me with Toby and Jeff in tow to what seems to be a little girls room, her door was painted in pastel pink and a decorated 'Sally' on it. Opening the door BEN greeted," Sally! We have a guest." A little girl by the looks of it turned towards us, she had brunette hair, pale skin, an old pink dress, and shining, innocent, emerald eyes. Sally turns to me and hugs my legs. "Hi! I'm Sally! It's nice to meet you."
   Nodding slowly I then greeted her softly, "Hi Sally, I'm Y/n" Toby then asks,"Where's Laughing Jack?"
BEN only shrugged before saying,"Lets look for him." They then left causing me to be alone in Sally's room. I then say bye to her before exploring the rest of the mansion.
    I was currently walking down a creaky and dark hallway before I heard 'Pop Goes the Weasel' being echoed across the hallway. Freezing in fear with chills down my spine, the humming seemed to be getting louder, but I was paralyzed in fear. Candy drops a few inches in front of me and I jumped. Picking it up but realized nothing was there. Suddenly I felt a hand on my shoulder and asked,"Jeff? BEN? Toby?"
This has to be a sick prank.
   My rapid breathing was all I could hear until I turned around to see a clown dressed in black and white. Sprinting towards the nearest door while yelling out curses I opened the door and ran into the room. It was complete darkness before bright lights were turned on. It looked like a circus tent, it was painted on the tearing walls but I could care less from the dreaded fear filling my lungs. I had opened the door but the colorless clown was standing in the way.
Backing towards the painted wall terrified for both my life and the last thing I see is him.
This is it, this is where I die.
   Before feeling the clown lean in close to my ear and whisper-"Boo." Letting out a blood-curdling shriek I ran out of the door and into a set of arms. "What's wrong (y/n)?"
Toby!
   I only whimpered in response wrapping my arms around his neck. "Aww but we were just about to have fun!" a spine-chilling voice said as music echoed in the background.

Pop goes the weasle~
