I sit on the couch, playing on my phone.
"Sweet kill!" my phone says.
I laugh and nod, saying I know.
Slender then walks into the room.. holding on to this kid.
Why is he twitching so much? Hes pretty cute.. omg stop clockwork!
I think to myself, face palming.
"So uh.. Clockwork, meet Toby." Slender says, dropping Toby.
Toby grunts, then stands up.
"H-Hi. I'm T-icci Toby. Call me T-Toby though please." He says, reaching his hand out towards me. I look at his hand, deciding whether I should shake his hand or not. I shake it anyways, giving up on really caring.
"Hey. I'm Clockwork. Call me Clocky for short though." I smile, looking into his eyes.
He has such big brown eyes...
I tilt my head, still holding his hand. Slender waves his hand in my face.
"Clockwork. Get out of you dream land." Slender says stubbornly.
I roll my eyes, cracking a grin. I laugh and feel myself blush. I let go of his hand, not realizing I was still holding it. He sits next to me and I pull a twig out of his hair.
"S-So.. don't m-ind me for asking.. b-but, why do-o you have a c-clock in yo-ur eye?" He asks. I shrug, the  tell him me story, as I do so every time.
"It wasn't smart. But it got me my name so I guess it doesn't matter. I hate it so much. I think I look stupid with it in." I say, shrugging and looking at the coffee table.
"I like i-it tho. You l-ook pretty." He says smiling.
I blush. No one ever compliments me, nor how to react. I cover my face, feeling a blush creep across my cheeks. I cover my face with my hands and mumble a quick "thank you".
After a few minutes I'm back to normal. I put on a movie, leaning back and letting out a breath I didn't know I was holding in.
"C-Clocky.. I'm hungry. Can yo-you get me some-thing to eat?" He asks, sweetly. I nod, walking out into the kitchen, making spaghetti. I bring some out to him and he eats it at a calm pace I guess. I start eating the bowl I got for myself, quickly finishing it.
"Tha-thank you clocky!" He smiles, twitching again. I giggle, nodding.
"Your welcome Toby."
He falls asleep, his head falling on my lap. I relax, then fall asleep too. I held his hand absentmindedly.
