Ticci Toby x Reader

Up In Flames

The Rogers family had moved in next door to us.  Every member of that family seemed...off.  The children never came outside to have fun, smoke, and light things on fire.  My bedroom window looked directly into the boy, Toby's, room.  I believe the family was home schooled, so I just assumed that they didn't talk much to others.

I was playing a game on my computer when I felt like something was staring at me.  I looked out the window to see Toby staring at me.  I gave him a small wave, and he turned to stare at the wall.  He seemed so...sad.  I grabbed a piece of paper and wrote 'hi' on it.  He looked at it and grabbed a piece of paper too.
"Hey" his said.
"You okay" was next note.
He grabbed a smaller paper and wrote a long note.  He opened his window and hinted at me to do the same.  He folded the paper into an airplane and threw it to my room.

"My sister died in a car crash not long ago.  I'm pretty pissed about it. She was all I had.  I just wish I could get out of here.  One day, this place will be nothing but ash."

I looked at the window. I grabbed a new paper.
"I'm sorry." I wrote.

"I gotta go. Goodnight." He wrote.

"Night."

I turned my light off and went to sleep.  I woke up to an annoying sound.  It was similar to the noise the TV made when the channel was fuzzy.  I tried to cover my ears with the pillow, but the noise didn't cease.  Th noise seemed to be coming from outside.  I looked out my window to see a tall, faceless figure.  It was talking to Toby.
"Burn it down." The figure said.

Toby nodded.  In a blink of an eye, the figure disappeared.  I saw Toby grab a hatchet and gasoline and walk out the door.

In a few minutes, I heard sirens.  His house was on fire, and the whole neighborhood was soon up in flames.  I jumped out the window and ran to the street.  The whole neighborhood was turning to ash right before my eyes.  I had never felt so alone.  The only place I had ever known was nothing now.  I heard a gasp and cough.  It was Toby.  Part of his hoodie was on fire and flames licked at his skin.  Any normal person would have screamed from pain.  The tall man appeared.  He starred at me for a few seconds.  His face was nonexistent. He put his hand on Toby's shoulder, and as quickly as he came, he disappeared with Toby. This was all the fault of thay weird neighbor boy.  That fucker will be damned to hell for this.
