Ticking with Love (Ticci-Toby x reader)

Ch. 43

     "Oh darn!" Smiley yelps, quickly scurrying to the room where the sound came from.
      "Are you sure you want to stay here?" Slender asked, tilting his head and looking down at me.
      "I heard that!" Smiley shouts from the other room.
       I laugh,"Yeah, he seems funny."
      "Well I'm going to go then, I don't want the mansion to be on fire when I get back. I also just want you to be careful and safe. If anything happens just say my name in your head." He pulls me into a fatherly hug, and then teleports away, back to the mansion.
     After that, I look at the spot where he used to be, urging myself not to think of his name. Then I turn my head to the other room and rush in.
     "What was that?" I asked, putting my hand on the door frame.
      "Only a potion I was 'cooking' up. It broke under the heat though." He sighs, cleaning up the mess.
      "Let me help you." I quickly rush beside him, looking for a trash can.
      After I spot one, I pick it up and brush the broken glass in with my fingertips, not getting a cut at all.
     "Oh thank you, I'll get the paper towels. Uhh what's your name?" He rushes out the room, peeking back in at the last part.
      "It's y/n." I respond, putting the trash can back in its place.
      "Ok cool!" He shouts, sinking back in the room and emerging in with paper towels.
        "So, why did you come here? Did Slender need to put you in time out?" He jokes, laughing and soaking the liquid with the towels.
      "Haha no, he didn't put me in time out. He brought me to you because I've had some weird dreams. The vision included." I watch Mr. Smiley throw the soaked towel into the trash.
      "Okie dokie. This might help, maybe." He says, opening a cabinet above the little cleaned up crime scene, taking out a bottle of blue water.
     "What does that do?" I ask, stepping closer to it and picking it up from his hands.
      "Well, it takes away dreams of course! Or it just makes your brain shut down memories when your sleeping." He says, rubbing his chin,"I don't remember."
      "It's ok. I'm sure it will work." I say putting it in my pocket.
       He stares off into space, closing the cabinet,"Oh! Let me show you around!"

    After Smiley showed me where everything was, bathrooms, bedroom, kitchen, living room, office, and lab, he told me I could sleep in the living room because there's a built in bed on the couch. The only thing that worries me was that there was a window right above the couch.
     So someone or something could just come crawling in and take me away or something like that.
    "Do you get any...Rakes here?" I ask, laughing a bit.
     "Only once but that was like a year ago. When I first moved in here." He says, walking away to his office,"Feel free to play outside or something! I'm not good with kids!"
       I open the front door, looking into the beautiful woods.

It's actually really pretty in the woods. I can see why the pastas like it here.

     I walk around, feeling drops of rain come down, but not hard.
      I went into the forest, still keeping the shack in sight. Walking around the shack in a circle, it began to rain more but it wasn't hard.
     Being the person of nature I am, I watch the raindrops drip from the trees and land into flowers, sliding off the petals gracefully.   
     Looking at the grass, I could see the droplets forming onto them, creating a beautiful scene.
     I loved the smell of rain so I stayed outside for a while, circling the shack and looking into the woods.
 
Wonder how far we are from the mansion.
 
    I was slowly getting freaked out by the forest, seeing eyes appear and disappear, but it was just illusions playing with my mind.
     I sat down, leaning against the shack, looking around and imagining Toby and I walking through the forest. Him cradling me in his arms and me giggling in his grip.
     My daydreaming was disturbed somehow by two arms pulling me back into the shack.
