Ticking with Love (Ticci-Toby x reader)

Ch. 42

    I opened my eyes, sunlight hitting them suddenly, causing me to wince at the brightness. I couldn't get up because Toby's arm was around my waist and it had a strong hold of me.
     Rubbing my eyes, getting the crust out, the smell of breakfast hits me and I slowly slip out of Toby's arms to see who's cooking. Most likely Slenderman though, but might as well ask him what Mr. Smiley was going to do to me when I go to his place.
      Walking through the hall, down the stairs, and peeking around the corner into the kitchen, I was indeed correct. Slenderman was cooking what seemed to be oatmeal and I wasn't the only one there. Hoodie and Masky were helping Slender pour the breakfast into bowls for everyone.
       I quickly walked by Masky and got more bowls, because five bowls wasn't enough for everyone. He jumped as he saw me, but then settled down and continued pouring.
   While he was helping, I took the breakfast and put it on the table, along with glasses of milk. Hoodie got the silverware and I got the napkins.
    Slenderman looked at the table, nodding his head in approval when Masky set down the last of the filled bowls.
   "Thank you children. You can start eating, I'll wake up all the others." Slender says, gracefully walking away and up the stairs.
    Hoodie, Masky, and I looked at each other, finally we all sit down, me facing Hoodie and Masky.
   Hoodie takes his spoon and starts to eat when suddenly we all hear running coming down the stairs, we all turn our heads quickly.
    "Gee Toby, your full of energy today!" I smile and laugh, looking at the excited Toby sitting next to me.
   "I-I always get excited, especially w-when I can see your face in the morning." He smiles back, his hand twitching as he took a spoon in hand.

After everyone was settled, eating their food, Slenderman looked at me and I could hear words in my head.

Can I tell them that your going to be gone for some while?

I nodded towards him, letting him know that he could tell them anything.
   He looked straight and spoke up,"Children, y/n will be gone for about two or three days."
     "W-what? Why?" Toby asked, turning to me with a concerned look on his face. Slender started speaking in the same tone, making Toby turn his head to him.
     "I'm sending her to Mr. Smiley. To see if he can fix her dreams. She's just been having weird dreams." He looks at all the creepypastas and then towards me,"Y/n, we'll leave after breakfast."
     After that, Toby turned his concerned face to me.
    "I'll miss you, ya know?" He smiles, ignoring the fact that Clockwork was frowning at us.
     "Me too." I respond, holding his hand, taking in the warmth.

Eventually, everyone was done with their food. Slenderman and I were leaving but Toby wanted to say one last good-bye.
    He hugged me and then kissed my cheek, letting go and smiling back at me.
     "Bye Y/n." He waves, scratching the back of his neck.
     "Bye Toby. It's only for two days." I laugh, smiling brightly before waving to him and leaving.
     Slenderman grabbed my hand and we walked off the mansion porch. Suddenly, I got very dizzy and sick as the forest started to blur my vision.
   In a second, we were standing in front of a shack. It was made of plain oak wood, but it was creaking.
     Some nails that were holding it together were sticking out, making it look abandoned. The windows didn't even have glass in them, so you could hop in anytime.
    Slender and I walked up to the almost broken door, it squeaking on its hinges as Slenderman pulled it open.
    "Sorry about the appearance of this place y/n. Mr. Smiley just likes the looks of it." Slender says, turning to me a little.
    "It's ok, everyone has their likes and dislikes." I respond, looking at all the tools on the wall and the messy papers, and furniture.
    The furniture was almost as broken looking as the house. Everything in here was a complete mess but I didn't mind.
     "Mr. Smiley?" Slender shouts softly, looking around for him, both of us walking around the house, room to room.
     "Over here!" Someone shouts, from what looked like an office.
     Slenderman still had my hand in his, and he took me to where the voice came from.
     "Hello Mr. Smiley." Slender says, in a friendly tone.
     The man turns around and his face looked like the face I saw in my vision. Before I woke up during the stitching.
     Two lines for eyes and a smile carved into his face, black substance filling them up as he looked at us.
     "Hello Slenderman." He greets, waving his gloved hands and he walked over to us.
     "Excuse me Mr. Smiley, but I think I've seen you before." I say, turning to the man and studying his features.
     "Really? Where?" He asks, tilting his head in the process. He claps and puts his hands together while waiting for my answer.
     "In my vision." I respond, putting my arms behind my back, but I jump when we all hear glass break from another room.
