the timer and the ticcer

Ben enters the room

Ben's P.O.V

I enter EJ's room he asked me to go check on Toby and Ash so that's where I'm headed. He should be back soon he went out with Jeff to go get more kidneys

I try to open the door quietly but EJ's door squeaks he's hardly in here so I guess he keeps forgetting to fix it. I yawn softy and smirk at the sight in front of me Ash is in Toby's lap. I try not to laugh and he scampers away from him.

"He-hey Ben," Toby says giving me his slightly crooked smile since he has a gash in his cheek. I smile back and nod until I notice that his stitches tore.

"TOBY YOU RIPPED YOUR STITCHES YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE RESTING!!" I say in alarm glitching like crazy. I teleport to his side accidentally. My body is weird how it sometimes just makes me teleport in situations like this.

"What it's just a little scrape," He says calmly. I smack him upside the head.

"LiTTle SCrape. TOby you Almost Bled out EARLiER" I say crossing my arms frustrated with my best friend.

"Yeah, Toby you got blood all over me!" Ash says scowling arms crossed.

"You're one to talk. Yo-you were trying to walk with that ankle of yours" Toby snaps at Ben. I instantly start laughing hard and they both flick their eyes towards me glaring.

"You two sound like an old married couple" I manage to say between giggles. Toby just sits there but Ash leaps at me making me fall onto my back knocking the air out of me.

"I don't like him I've got someone else!!!!" he says loudly practically screaming in my face teeth bared. I'm so dead this cat" gonna rip me apart!?

I push him off of me pinning him to the ground he may not be strong but he's fast he somehow managed to punch me hard in the face and use one foot to get a solid kick to my chest making me hit the edge of EJ's bed hard. Damn, he's super strong for a little kitty.

"Don't call me a kitty...." he says his eyes that were originally black brown hard turned a bloody crimson red in anger. I swallow hard and look at Toby.

"Calm down Ash," Toby says putting a hand on his shoulder and he begins to calm down until his hand gets scratched.

"You're not my Drake don't touch me..." He growls and goes back to his nest and sits glaring at me and Toby darkly.

Toby shrugs and looks at me and I sigh getting up.

"I'll be right back I'm getting some stuff to clean and fix up your wound Toby. No killing each other while I'm gone okay?" I say sternly pretending not to be nervous while I'm leaving the room.

Toby's P.O.V

Ash is really strong never expected something so small and cute to have so much anger and shit. He's cute but I don't think I'll mess with him he's worse than Jeff when EJ isn't around. I think it's kinda hot how strong he is though it's an admirable trait. Least I won't have to baby him on missions.... I'm glad I won't have to feel like a third wheel anymore with Masky and Hoodie.

I say and lay back on the floor. I notice Ash is watching my every move very closely I scowl.

"Stop staring at me like that" I whine his ears twitch and his brow furrows tail beginning to swish angrily.

"I'm not staring..." He says and crosses his arms looking away. He's quite the tsundere.... WAIT I CAN'T LIKE HIM HE HATES ME I feel my breathing began to quicken with nervous tension and I smile at Ash for the first time. I chuckle

"You sure you don't like me~" I purr playfully for some odd reason I wanna get a rise out of him. He smacks my arms.

"Positive you're extremely annoying...." He says calmly not even looking at me. I raise an eyebrow I just noticed he wears a collar and clothes that are quite feminine I never really noticed how cute he was I was too busy fighting him and keeping him from hurting himself to get a good look at him. I'm so not letting this chance to get a good look at him go by me. I lick my dry lips and look at him from head to toe. He has dark black hair that shimmers slightly blue in light and the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen well aside from Ben's of course.

"Look who's staring now" He growls smirking at me showing off sharp fangs. I shrug and continue to look at him. His tail is black with blue ends must've dyed it he's wearing a very loose ripped up tank top along with grey shorts that go to his knees and belts that are on his sides he even wore something similar to Ben's sword hilt. I smile softly he's gorgeous.

Ash's Pov

I wish Toby would stop staring at me it's so embarrassing he's probably looking for all of my flaws aka everything about me. I shift uncomfortably shifting slightly why is this annoyingly cute boy staring at me. I shot a glare at him and bare my teeth.

"Stop staring I mean it Toby...." I say crossing my arms and balling my fists turning to fists. He shrugs and then the door creaks open and I watch Ben carefully take care of Toby. For some odd reason, I'm jealous of ben. I don't have feelings for Toby he just looks like Drake that's why I'm reacting this way. I sigh as Ben playfully asks if a kiss would help and Toby nods eagerly. Ben laughs and kisses the spot he just fix up playfully. My heart cringed a little bit. Not for me!!!! For Toby... He's liked Ben so long and Ben does this kind of stuff even though he's dating Siren and can't be with Toby he's teasing him. I'd take way better care of Toby than him. I don't like him though so why should I even care. I'm so confused. I sigh and lay on my back in the nest sprawled out instead of curled up in a ball like I usually lay. Toby looks at me after Ben leaves and leans close to my face poking my cheek.

"You okay" He asks voice dripping with sympathy. I nod silently. He raises an eyebrow and pokes my face again. I felt like crying so I pretend I'm angry.

"Quit fucking poking me..." I say deepening my voice a ton. He hugs me tight pulling me into his side. I like this. I quickly realized what was happening and tense up and try to push him away but he's too strong.

"Let me go you freak," I say in a whine squirming more. He only holds me tighter. I swallow as he reaches his hand up to pet me. I like this.... I can't though! I let him pet me for a bit until I start to purr so I quickly bite his hand hard enough to draw blood. He's just trying to use me to get over Ben I'm not the smartest but he just wants me so he'll hurt less bastard.... I can't believe he thinks that I'm just gonna let him use me and pretend I'm Ben in the back of my mind.

"Stop trying to be affectionate with me I know you only have eyes for Ben so quit advancing on me and pretending it's Ben" I shout at him angrily "No wonder he doesn't want you!!!!".

Toby freezes and he starts to twitch his neck.

"I'm not I'm just trying to comfort you okay!! God, I'm not hitting on you!!! I'm into Ben and only Ben I'm like this with lots of people..." He says glaring at me with eyes that could melt ice "and you're on to talk you keep saying stuff about Drake and how much you liked him you're the one reading to much into this!!". I growl annoyed and turn away getting as far away from him as possible. I turn my back to him so I'm facing the wall and begin to sob.
