Sempiternal (Ticci-Toby Romance)

Chapter 11

Robyn

Almost immediately I grabbed Toby and shoved him into my closet then closed the door, I didn't want to throw him out the window, because then he would yell and make too much noise, and plus; the window wasn't that close by for me at the moment.

"Wha-?" Toby was about to say something but I cut him off

"Stay in there or so help me Toby...." I mumbled as I leaned against the door, then Alyssa came in

"What's with all the ruckus?" She asked as she leaned on the door, I looked at the closet door then smiled nervously

"Oh nothing, I just had some problems with the closet but that's all there is so yeah" I stated, though my voice was shaky

"You're a bad liar...." Toby whispered through the door, which in turn I hit the door with my fist

"Why'd you bang on the door?" She tilted her head to the side, I shrugged then crossed my arms

"I uh... Twitched... And so I banged on the door by mistake" I said softly

"I think I could do better than that... And I'm a bad liar...." Toby said again which in turn I glared at the door, I really hated Toby right now.... Then again, I'll always just shove him out the window... That seems like an idea....
"So, what's behind the closet door?" Alyssa asked as she walked over to the closet door and tried to move me away from it

"The doorknob's jammed. That's why I- er... Was messing around with it... But don't worry I got it.... you can continue with what you were doing before you came into my room" I explained

"Are you sure?" Alyssa frowned then smiled mischievously "alright, well I'm gonna make some lunch" I nodded as I looked back at the door then all of a sudden Alyssa pushed me to the side and went for the door

"No wait!" Too late. Alyssa opened the door and I closed my eyes tightly just in case, but then I hear a laugh

"What were you hiding little weirdo? There's nothing here, you acted like a killer was in there" Alyssa laughed then pushed my slightly "Just like when you were little and I did the same thing, but with that toy... The Jack in the Box? Well that thing, I missed tricking and scaring the living poop out of you, don't trick me like that again" Alyssa said as she walked out of my room and closed the door behind her. I sighed in relief then looked back at the closet, then walked inside

It wasn't huge, but you can walk inside, but after about three steps you'd be able to reach the wall. I looked around then looked up; nothing. Frowning, I went ahead then started to push clothes around to see if I can find him, surprisingly - he's a good hider. That is until someone tapped my shoulder. I jumped and turned around, then shook my head. He was standing right behind me

"I should put a bell on you..." I muttered as I looked at him, which in turn he laughed

"But then Alyssa would find me" he said, which proved a point, I kind of hated that, how he somehow outsmarted me

"Well when you're in my shoes you would understand why" I mumbled as I tried to make my way out of the closet, but he had blocked the path, he tilted his head to the side

"So when did you warm up to me?" He asked

"I never said I did, the only reason I did what I did was because you saved me technically, and I didn't want Alyssa freaking out and then all this crazy stuff happening and things getting worse-" he cut me off

"There is such a thing called thank you" he said quietly "I did get stabbed for you"

"Well you deserved the stab" I murmured

"You really have to stop bringing in the whole 'Because I stabbed you' thing, it's pretty old" Toby chuckled as he stepped a little more closer to me

"Whatever... But, thank you Toby... It meant a lot..." I said as I looked down, I was actually looking at the amount of space he had left till he actually almost pressed against me, which was in turn; making me blush a little. I backed away a little until my back almost touched the wall, the sad part is - I only took one step back for that to happen.

"Yeah, no problem" he answered as he took, yet another step towards me

"I have a question" I blurted out, this is what made me the slight killjoy; the questions. I crowded my sister with tons of them and she would leave me alone, and that's what I kind of always did so people would leave me alone

"What is it?" He said as he looked down at me and took one very small step towards me

"Why... Did you save me? And why... Why do you wear that Erm... Mouthguard thing?" I asked him

"The mouth guard is..." He pulled it down, and then I saw it. His pale face, it looked almost grey, he was smiling, the same smile I saw when he was standing in front if me; while facing Masky "why I saved you is different..." He mumbled

"Why is it different?"

"Well...." At that moment, he looked down then looked at me, he pulled up his goggles and then his... His brown eyes met mine, they were a chocolate brown, and it felt like they were melting in my cloudy grey ones

At that moment, it was as if it was a second later, he had leaned in and pressed his lips onto mine.
