Shy boy (ticci Toby x Ben Drowned)

Little Lost Boy

My eyes narrowed as I stared at the blonde male who lay unconscious in the small shed behind my old beaten up home, his soaked hair pooling over his paled thin arms, if it weren't for his strained breathing I would've thought he was dead, peeking out of the shed I looked around before kneeling down over the boy grabbing a handful of his soaked hair and lifting his head, it didn't take long for the me to pick the smaller male up with ease and walk from the small space, whoever this boy was he clearly wasn't human, nor anything close to anything I'd seen and throughout my time of being a proxy..and I'd seen allot of strange creatures.

|Ben's POV|

I slowly woke to the sound of soft humming a females voice not to far away from me, I kept my eyes closed shivering until I felt a warm material pulled over me.

"So who do y-you think he is?" A male voice asked making me shift a little.

"Not sure, but who and what ever he's too weak to have been like this for a while, recent shock most likely caused him to pass out" I liked this female voice it was nice and sweet but rough and had a slight Texas tinge to it.

"That doesn't e-explain the water and why he ended up in my sh-shed" images flashed through my memory making me flinch.

'Come on Ben. Let's play a game...it's called...Ben Drowned.'

I felt a cold rush around me as I zoned out into my own thoughts hair flowing upwards over my face as I flailed and struggled to get to the surface, four hands holding me down, my cousins. How could they hurt me like that. I remember screaming for my father who sat with a can of beer not to far away however he did nothing. Of course he didn't. Why was I so stupid. I should've known something was up.

'Come on Ben it's a nice day outside and I'd love for us all to go over to the lake, hurry before it gets too...crowded'

"Whoa...Toby come and look at this." I snapped halfly out of it feeling cold fingertips on my cheek pulling away a few seconds later.

"Is that...blood?" I sucked in a small breath before feeling my hair being pulled from my eyes.

"Looks like it, coming from his eyes too. Come on go get that bucket of water and a cloth I'll wipe his face down again" I heard footsteps, and waited, hearing slight humming again this made what felt like my ears twitch, strange feeling honestly.

A few minutes passed before I heard slight shuffling and footsteps and as soon as I felt that warm wet liquid on my cheek I freaked, all air was sucked from my lungs and I shot my hand up gripping a thin wrist tightly.

"Shit he has a strong grip." The female voice hiss "Toby help me out here" I felt a grip that could only be described as a painful crushing feeling on my wrist making me loosen my grip instantly and latch my hand onto the others hand who only loosened his grip and nothing more.

"Think it was the water?" He asked I didn't hear a response from the female.

"...hm...what's with the shackles?" Shackles? What shackles? Deciding I wanted to see these people I slowly opened my eyes the first thing I saw was the bare hand that gripped my wrist following up the arm glad in a skin tight black material coming to realise it was a black turtle neck meeting the pale brown eyes of the boy I took in his features as he seemed to be doing the same, pale skin with dark shadows under his eyes a large gash clear on his left cheek revealing slightly yellowed teeth a lightly haired chin and short ear length hair of the same oak colour halfly hidden by the baseball cap that sat on his head.

He cocked his head to the side cracking his neck in the process "he has EJ like eyes. Black." He must've seen me narrow my eyes because he did the same.

"How old are you honey?" I heard the Texas tinged voice ask slowly moving to look over my shoulder I looked at the girl who had red hair that ended in feathered black tips black cat ears and green eyes I didn't take in her attire as she was clearly expecting an answer.

"Um...12" I answer though was put off hearing slight glitching sounds as I talked.

"Only twelve?" The boy asked and I nodded slowly "what's y-your name?"

"..Ben..Ben Lawman, born 1992" I answered to clarify it both of them looked at me in disbelief and I shrank into the blanket that covered me.

"1992? Honey are you sure you're 12?" She asked and I had to stop to think about it.

"Well...it is 2004 right?" I looked at the boy who had let go of my wrist and was now counting on his fingers with narrowed eyes.

"It's 2017" my eyes widened slightly "dude you're 24..."
