Sempiternal (Ticci-Toby Romance)

Chapter 17

Robyn

His lips felt like velvet, his touch made me shiver slightly. When he pulled away it was as if I were in a trance, I don't know, or how I was even thinking about it, the minute he pulled away was the minute I missed the warmth that he gave me when he kissed me, I looked at him... those saddened eyes, it felt as if he despised the fact I was leaving, but it wouldn't matter. My hands laid on his chest as he started to let go of me, at this moment I pulled him into a hug

"Can I stay?" He asked in a soft tone, I couldn't say no, because it was raining pretty hard out there, so I nodded hesitantly

"Just... Don't let Alyssa find out you're here..." I said quietly, I looked at the time and sighed, it had only been a few minutes that passed by, not like the time I spent with Alyssa that ended up being a long conversational time only because I took too much time being shocked and staying quiet which in turn; burned a lot of time

"It's not like I ever leave this room anyway" Toby mumbled as he buried his face in my hair, though I wanted to push him away, I blushed and sighed, I felt bad so might as well just let him do so, for now - that is.

I nodded, only because this time I pulled away, I grabbed his wrist and started to walk to my closet which in turn he pulled me to a stop. Sometimes I wish he wasn't stubborn at times.

"Wait, am I going to sleep in the closet?" He asked, which in turn I shook my head and pulled him inside the closet

"I have to change into my pajamas, and I want to change with no one else in the room, specifically, guys. Which in turn means you" I started to walk out of the closet

"Can't I just face a wall the whole time and stay away from the closet? I hate being in the closet" He chuckled nervously as he said that which in turn I shot him a glare "Aha I thought so..." I closed the door behind me and walked to one of my drawers and pulled out just another pair of knee length shorts and just a plain, not so old, T-Shirt. Don't get me wrong, I wear different types of pajamas, but this was all I could muster up left, I need to wash the others. When I finished switching in my pajamas I turned back to the closet, the door was opened and Toby was sitting in the corner of my room staring into the wall contently

"Seriously?! You couldn't stay in the closet?!" I raised my voice slightly, which in turn Toby laid down on the floor and looked at me from the very top of his eyes, he shook his head

"It was too cramped in there, like I said before I hate being in the closet..." Toby as he rolled over and sat on his legs

"It's too cramped!? No it isn't! Last time I checked it took me four large steps to reach the end!" I walked up to him and slumped in front of him "you didn't see anything... Did you?" I narrowed my eyes, which in turn he blushed a rosy red

"N-No! I didn't see anything I swear!" He stuttered while flailing his arms in front of me, which in turn I sighed and nodded

"Good, you better not be lying Toby, or I'll get you when you least expect it" Toby burst out laughing

"I'm not lying Robyn, and plus there is no way you'll get me when you least expect it!" He said in between laughs which in turn I pushed him, therefor he lost his balance and fell onto his back

I stood up and rolled my eyes as he continued to laugh on the floor, I slumped on my bed and grabbed a book then started to read it, and after a while he stopped laughing and got up then pushed me to the other side of the bed and slumped right next to me, he looked at me then the book as if he was asking to sit there, which in turn I nodded but kept reading. He looked around my journals, mostly my reading journals since he stated that math was too complicating before he went ahead and put them down, then laid down, and after a little while, he fell asleep.

I sighed and took off his goggles, knowing that if he kept them on and he was laying on his side, it would cause pain on either side if his eyes, while leaving marks as well, and plus I didn't want him whining about later on. I pulled his mouth guard down and sighed as I tossed the goggles onto my desk. Perfect shot. That's a miracle, I'm actually a bad tosser. Well a bad thrower in general. I looked back at Toby, he wasn't snoring, he didn't even make a sound at all, he was turned on his right side, and of course he ended up facing me. I went ahead and carefully got off of my bed without waking him and went to turn off the lights.

Sighing slightly, I get back on the bed carefully then laid down right next to him, though I faced the wall. There was an aching feeling in my shoulder, I couldn't stand it so I flopped into the opposite side where I immediately blushed, Toby's face was just about a few inches away from mine. His face looks so peaceful, as if all of this drama between him and I wasn't really there, like it was a disguise and when he sleeps it just goes away, I clenched my fists as my timidness came into the way, I leaned in a little more where I can see the outline of his lips, before I can only see his resting eyes...

Leaning in more and more closer to the point where his breath managed to hit my lips, making me blush a little more, I breathed in a let it out a little, then with all the courage I can pick up, I fought back my timid and fear, then pressed my lips against his.
