Ticci Toby X Reader

Chapter 43

She kisses my forehead, pushing her fingers through my hair.
"I love you so much.. My precious little girl.."
"I love you too mummy."

~**~

I feel my body and my mind flowing back to the reality and out of my dream world. Recalling old memories in a dream was a very rare thing to happen for me. Why that dream? Why here, why now?
My eyes blink slowly open as my vision starts off blurry. Searching around, I spot Toby sat by the side of my hospital bed. His fingers intwined with mine as he held my hand. His head hanging low as he sighs. I guess he hasn't realised I was awake. However I was so weak from the struggle and being heavily sedated. My movements were very limited. I tighten my grip, squeezing Toby's hand a little, causing his head to shoot up and his eyes to meet with mine. Once he sees I was awake and well, a large smile forms on his face as he squeezes my hand in return, stroking my knuckles with his thumb.
"[Name].. I'm s-so glad you're oka-ay."
I smile weakly hearing the voice of the Toby I knew. It was no longer deep, low and menacing and he had his stammer back. I must admit. I missed his stutter.
"Toby...? How, how did you, get in here? The nurses.."
I couldn't help but pause between my words and catch my breath. I felt so weak, even talking required all the energy I had.
"D-D-Don't worry about the nur-nurses. I managed to sneak *tic* sneak around them."
"What if they, catch.. you."
He squeezes my hand tighter, leaning forward and kissing my forehead before sitting back down.
"They w-won't."
We exchange smiles but I can't help but sigh. Thinking about the state I'm in. But judging by Toby's expression. He knew what I was thinking about.
"[Name].. I'm r-really sorry. I n-never wanted to hurt you. Y-You're the last person I-I want to hurt. I'm sorry.. This is all m-my fault."
He exhales deeply, gesturing to my arm which was surrounded by a cast and the stitches on my face.
I was just so happy to see him alive and well, I didn't want to lower the mood so I knew exactly what to say to cheer him up.
"You're pretty soft, for a murderer, huh."
He chuckles, shaking his head in amusement. I giggle a long with him. Seeing him laugh again made me feel so happy.
"You seem t-t-tired [Name]. How about you get some sle-sleep."
He smiles while stroking my hair softly and calmly. I couldn't help but fall asleep against his touch.
