Sempiternal (Ticci-Toby Romance)

Chapter 5

Robyn

He towered over me as he stood in front of me. My eyes narrowed, and I clenched my fists. I didn't know what he meant by what belonged to him but I didn't really care, all I wanted him to do was get out of my house

"What?" Was I could croak out, even though in the inside I'm much braver, but right now it seems that my stubbornness is the only thing that's helping me not stutter or stammer in nervousness

"Give me my hatchet back" Toby mumbled as he frowned and looked around "I dropped it somewhere around here when I was checking out your stuff, it seems like you're a hard worker" My eyes widened

"You.... Were in.... My.... Room?!" I tried to keep my voice calm and soft, but I just couldn't help it; he'd been through my stuff, now I'm going to either push him out my door, or kick him out my window. I say the window works best. Since my house is two stories after all.

"Well yeah, only because you weren't around and I wanted to get to know how you actually are when I'm not here; so I spied on you, and just kind of looked through your notebooks" He went to my desk and looked at a book "Mindblind.... Huh, I've read that book before, I never got to finish it though" his arm twitched and he let it go by mistake

"Why? Why would you want to learn about me? In fact, why didn't even kill me?" I kind of regretted saying that. He walked up to me and towered over me again, then huffed

"If you really want to die, I'll be happy to oblige" he turned around and looked around "Once I find my hatchet, that is" and with that he walked around and started searching through my stuff. I narrowed my eyes and I pushed him away from my stuff with fuming anger

"Your stupid hatchet isn't here! It couldn't be in my drawers it couldn't be in my notebooks or desks, it couldn't be here!" I shoved a finger in his face and poked his goggles by mistake "Now you sir can leave my room!" I huffed as my anger started to boil inside of me

"Are you sure? You just look angry to me, just saying, shoving a finger in my goggle like you were about to poke my eye makes me seem like you're just trying to kick me out" Toby seemed oblivious, or maybe he was just acting and he was actually sarcastic. I shook my head and watched him as he looked around and moved stuff around "Now if you would please help me" he turned and looked at me

"Why would I help you?" I crossed my arms and narrowed my eyes

"You really want me to leave right?"

"Yeah"

"If you help me find my hatchet which I know I left it here, I'll leave, the quicker we find it, the faster I leave" His arm twitched again making it hard to take him seriously at the moment, but at the moment I didn't care, he stuck out his hand at me

"Deal?"

"Fine. Deal" I looked at his hand then shook it quickly then pulled it back and sighed, "Are you sure you left it in here?" I asked as I started to look around for it

"Yeah, I'm sure, I know because I was reading your essay and I left it here when Masky came and asked me why I was in your room, then I shrugged and I heard your" he stopped for a moment, as if he was looking for a word but hesitantly continued "sister coming and so we panicked and I dropped my hatchet in here and I left it here" Great. There were two killers in my room? I'm just saying because if Toby is a killer, then this "Masky" guy was a killer too. Hooray. My life can't get any better can it?

"Who's Masky?" Curiosity struck me as I saw his hatchet from the corner of my eye, I glanced at him then walked towards it and stood in front of it

"You don't need to know about Masky" He mumbled as he skimmed around and sighed a little he sat on my bed "I swore I left it here somewhere"

"If I find your hatchet, will you tell me who Masky is?" I said

"That's not part of the deal, you help me find my hatchet, once we find it I leave... That's what you want at least" Toby mumbled as he laughed a little, his leg twitched, which in turn he laughed more. I raised an eyebrow then sighed. I really did want him to leave, but at the same time I didn't, I really don't know why. But I really didn't care right now. I sighed and turned around then grabbed the hatchet that was sort of heavy. I looked at Toby who now had his head on his hands

"Gee, bipolar huh? Here's your dumb hatchet" I said as I dumped it on his lap. The first thing he did was look at it. Then he grabbed it and stood up, then put it away, after that he surprisingly gave me a tight hug, which I had to wince and yelp, for he had squeezed the shoulder he stabbed me with

"Thanks" he said as he loosened his grip slightly, so he won't be putting so much pressure on my shoulder

"Yeah, you're welcome, Mr. Bipolar" I teased him, which in turn he tightened his grip and made me help again, then let go "Jerk" I mumbled as I rubbed my healing arm with a frown

"Oh you know I didn't mean it" he laughed

"Yeah sure, like you didn't mean to stab my shoulder" I huffed

"We were strangers there" He said as he opened the window "I'm sure you teasing me means that we aren't that much of strangers, considering underneath that little shyness and timidness you actually have anger issues" he sat on the edge of the window "so like you wanted I'll- GYAA!" I pushed him out of the window with anger now boiling inside,

"I do not have anger issues! Just stop mocking me!" I raised my voice as I looked down at him, he was hanging on to the window with one hand as he looked at me

"You know that wasn't really nice, can you help me? To prove you're not so mean?" I narrowed my eyes as I slipped one finger off

"Oh I'll help you alright...." I slipped off another finger

"Now Robyn, let's be rational about this, if you make me fall there's a possible way that I'll probably break a bone, or get knocked out. I'm sorry for teasing you" his voice was shaky, like he was actually nervous

"I was rational, I was calm, now I don't care" he was now barely hanging with two fingers and was now slipping "any last words?" My voice sounded innocent

"I'll get you back Robyn"

"That's if you don't black out, Toby, now goodbye" I smiled as I pushed both of his fingers off and he yelled as he fell and landed on a bush. He sat up and shook his head then looked up at me. I smiled and laughed, then waved goodbye and closed the window. I got my revenge, and he got his fall, my victory award was to have a good nights sleep
