5 | Let go

[Song - Heathens]

-EJ's POV-

I stayed seated, quietly, hungry. He looks so calm when he's asleep. Except when his body twitches randomly, still....I wonder why it took me so long to try and eat him. Maybe it was my human side? Hah, what humanity do I have left?
I soon noticed some movements other than ticking and twitching. Toby tried moving but I kept him tied down to a table. I smiled since nothing can interrupt us own, I went to a different location, maybe this time Slenders proxies won't interfere.

"Brian..."
I heard him softly mumble and them quickly opened his eyes as he tried to sit up but being tied down stopped him from doing so. He looked around panicked and stopped when he saw me and quickly began to struggle trying to loosen the ropes.
"L-Let me go! M-My friend is go-going to find me-me!"
He yelled at him as he continued to struggle not showing any fear this time. I got up from my seat and picked up my scalpel looking down at him.
"They don't...know where...you...are right now...for now. When they find...you...you'll be all...eaten up."

"LET GO OF ME!! Y-YOU CREEP!"
He yells out loudly and starts moving on the examine table more that he managed to fall on the side with it. I got up and looked at him, he was twitching very aggressively as he kept struggling. I carefully pulled the table back up and saw that he finally stopped moving.
"Good...food doesn't really taste...well, when... They die scared..."

He gave me a glare and looked away not saying anything as a tick came out loudly.
"Talk to me... I wanna get to know...you well."
I said, even though I know most of his backstory for...well kind of watching him from a far.

"Fuck off, y-you creep... Go ahead a-and eat me..."

"You're accepting death so quickly?"

"W-Well, I work for this guy I n-never wanted to work for, my only family m-member left probably th-thinks I'm dead b-by now, I n-never had a n-normal life and never will since I-I fucked it up badly.... Why should I live..?"
He said as he calmed down a bit and looked up at the ceiling.
"Go ahead, I can't even feel pain...but maybe blindfold me or something..."

I frowned behind my mask and removed it. I could tell Toby was looking at me with disgust, that's the look I mostly get when people see me without my mask.
"Are...you hungry?" I asked and he just shrugged.

"I d-don't need a finally meal...j-just eat me already w-while I'm still depressed!"

"Well... What if... I... Don't want to...eat you for now."

"Great, w-when I finally want to d-die I'm not going to..."

What did this guy wanted? He didn't want to get eaten, but now he wants to die. I really did want to eat him another time though.... I should just let him go and follow him for a while in case he's going to kill himself.
"I'm... Going...to let you go, but not in here...you might wanna...attack...me."

"When you do that, throw m-me off a cliff."
He says not sounding so mad or depressed anymore. Does he really want to die that badly?
"And now that I remember..."
He quietly says mumbling some other stuff I couldn't hear.

-Toby's POV-

I stayed quiet and thought for a minute and soon realized something. I've seen Masky without his mask before....wow he was that hot guy- I mean that somewhat good looking guy that walked in on me in the kitchen when I dropped all those pots and pans.
"Oh, damn... Hey, when you throw me d-down a cliff can y-you tell Masky that a boomer l-like him isn't half bad looking? A-and..."
I stopped to think about what I was going to say. EJ probably might not even throw me off a cliff but that won't stop him from be killing myself. It's only been two months but...
"I-I want you t-to tell Bri- Hoodie...that I l-"

"Wait... Masky and Hoodie...? You...work for....Slenderman?"
He asked and I just gave him a small nod very angrily since he didn't let me confess to-

"Shit...I...I guess I can't eat you then...I don't want to die yet... I thought those two, took you because they were going to kill you or something..."
He says and went and unstrapped me from his examination table.
"Maybe one day...I'll get to have you, well...eat you..."

I slowly got up and stared at him. Was he really going to let me go like that....? Is it really because I work for that guy? Well then...lucky me?
"Yeah...bye..."
I said and then stopped and turned to EJ. "Where's his mask and my mouth guard and goggles?"

"Oh.." He said as he quickly grabbed a greyish old bag and tossed it to me. I took a look in the bag and saw everything.
I left quickly and just ran. After a few minutes I stopped and sighed loudly. I don't know where I am... I could've asked EJ for directions. Wow Toby, of course I just thought of this now.
"What now!!-"

"Rogers, is that you?"
That voice, that beautiful voice...I'm not lost!

"Masky?? Tim, I'm here!" I yelled and ran towards the voice. I stopped and saw Tim...I was right, that guy was him. We both just stared at each other as he was panting, how long has he been looking for me?

"Toby....are you...ok?" He asked as he was trying to catch his breath. Oh god...the longer I stared at him the more I noticed how good looking he was.

"I-I'm fine..."
I said as I walked towards him still looking at him. And...and does he has sideburns??? That surprisingly fitted him. I got surprised as he felt his hand quickly patting my cheek making me face the side.

"Good, now give me my mask!"
Or maybe he just smacked me...

"Wow, and I-I thought you cared a-about me...y-you didn't even asked w-what happened to me.." I said as I brought up the bag and pulled out his mask tossing it to him.

"You got lost that's what happened. Now let's go, we're still on a mission and you wasted so much time by playing hide and seek!" He said as he placed his mask on and began to walk. I growled and just followed him.

"Y-You know I got k-kidnapped...by EJ... B-But he let me go. I scared and th-threatened him. H-He l-let me go so fast."

"Sure he did... You got kidnapped and he didn't ate you..."

"Ugh, whatever... I bet you would b-be h-happy if he ate me!" I yelled and was about to walk up ahead of him, but Masky knows the way...

"What makes you think that....?"

I stayed quiet when he asked that, I noticed something...he's now talking to me...but he asked something he already knew, I've heard him.
"Th-The first m-month i-in the mansion... I h-heard you talk-talking to Brian...you said...I was supposed to die the first few weeks...Brian told me that you said that you thought I would get killed quickly. You never really talked to me either...so I just assumed that you wanted me to die."

-Tims POV-

Oh... I didn't think that he would think that. What now? Shit, what do I say? I did thought he was going to die....but I didn't want him to die.
"Look... I don't want you to die. I never wanted you to die. It's just...well look at you, you're small, weak, skinny, you're always ticking and twitching, you couldn't even take your hatchet out of that tree when I found you. I didn't think you would survive being Slenders proxy."

"Of course you did...I-I guess I'll always b-be seen as a w-weak one to you... Brian doesn't think th-that of me.."
I heard him mumbled and frowned, how does Brian get along with him...I just said the truth... Jeez Rogers, I do want to get along.
