Ticks Tocks And Twitches

~December 3rd~

It's been a little over two weeks....two weeks since I've been with Toby. Two happy freaking weeks. Me and Toby have been doing everything together, I've even managed to get a few killing days with him! We haven't told everyone yet but we're pretty sure most of everyone already knows, thanks to Toby....and me I guess for letting him. About a week ago we were all sitting in the lounge room relaxing when I got up and came back Toby pulled me onto his lap to sit down. I didn't fight it, because I didn't expect it, but I actually really liked sitting on his lap.

Ann has been giving me hell for it though, in a good way of course. She was the first and only one I told and ever since then I've regretted some life decisions. Unfortunately Ann is infected with something known as blabber-mouth, I found it's very contagious among teenagers. So long story short I now found out that Jane now knows and will expect her to also beg me also answer the questions and comments.

We we're currently having dinner, everyone was having a good time and enjoying dinner, Slenderman was currently reading the newspaper. I've noticed he's been doing that more recently. Toby and I constantly sat next to each other but often conversed with our own friends during dinner.
"So Clocky, what's your plans with Toby for the future?" Jane asked me.
"I mean I don't mean to pry, I was just generally curious. You two seem to be really happy together." She added. I chuckled.
"Don't worry about it it's fine, and as for me and Toby I don't actually know. Since we've been together we've mainly been focused on us right now. We haven't really talked about the future yet."
"But there will be a future right?" She asked. I laughed again.
"As of right now, ye there will be a future with me and Toby." I comfirmed.
"Ok good, I just need to make sure I am able to be a God parent." Ann's head snapped at her with vicious eyes.
"What are you talking about? I wanted to be their God parent!" She asked.
"Well too bad, I called dibs." Really? I mentally asked myself. They then began to bicker over who would be the best God parent.

Honestly I've never thought about having any kids at all. I mean I do want children of my own but, maybe not anytime soon.

I was snapped out of my thoughts by Toby who nudged my arm.
"W-what're they a-arguing a-about?" He asked and nodded towards Ann and Jane. Jane currently was threatening Ann with a fork. They're ridiculous. I mentally noted for the next time the subject was ever brought up.
"Uhh...our future children." I said slowly. I didn't know how To you felt about the subject to I was unsure whether to tell him what we were talking about.
"O-oh...ok." He said before turning back to Hoodie and Masky. Does he not want kids? Now I was worried.

After dinner I made my way to my room, after hearing Toby's reaction to our topic I lost my appetite. My head was filled with nothing but what ifs and trying to figure out what To you was thinking. Toby told me he was going to shower after dinner and that he'd meet me in the room. Oh yeah, since we started dating, me and Toby have been sleeping in the same room. Either me and his or his and mine. We started after our first date and it kinda became a daily thing. I layed on the bed and waited for Toby to come back but before he could I felt my eyes grow suddenly heavy and soon enough I was slipping into darkness.

~December 4th~

I woke up sometime around midnight. I was suddenly extremely cold and needed something to cover me and Toby up with. Something caught my eye as I sat up for the blankets, something out the window. Snow. It was snowing outside. The tiny white specs were falling onto the window sill and already creating a small mountain of fluff. They fell slowly and elegantly. I got out of bed and wiped the fog off to see the the once nightmarish trees now covered lightly in snow. The ground was no longer dead leaves and twigs as it was now covered with a sheet of white. The moon's light was perfect, giving off a cool blue glow the reflected off the white floor made everything seem calm and peaceful.
