Crush | TicciMask

7 | Brian

-Toby's POV-

We were heading back. All we had to do was kill a guy that had information on us and some killers that lives in these woods. Well Masky killed him...and burned the whole place. I just watched. I knew I would be useless in this mission, I would've been better off with Brian, he would've let me help...and it would've been so much fun.

He said that this time we won't rest, I hate Tim. I hate it here, I want my old life back, I wasn't even going crazy! I also have schizophrenia, if I could go back they would've gone easy on me and probably just say that I need help or something. I wonder...did mom ever left the house when I set the neighborhood on fire..? No, she probably died... The whole place was burning. No one could've escaped that.
This is my new shitty life, Tobias horrible life! Watch him and his cliche life, getting bullied at a young age and starts homeschooling with his alcoholic/abusive father! God, am I really going to talk to myself this whole trip...? 'No, you have us.'
"Shit-" I said and just quickly covered my mouth and looked over at Masky. He didn't react, good.
What happened...? I thought that they were just part of Slendermans plan to mess with my head! 'No, we've been with you since you were little Toby. You just forget. Well it's easy to forget when you aren't alone. You're refusing to talk to Tim right now so here we are.' I actually do remember now, talking to myself, even when Lyra was still alive... 'If you don't want to hear us then talk to Tim, oh right. You don't like him... Have you ever thought of what Tim thinks about Brian?' "What...do you mean...?" I asked out loud without noticing. What are these voices trying to say? 'Well, every time you're around Brian, Tim always gives you small glares, or just ignores you when he talks to Brian. What if they are dating? And you're just being the annoying clingy third wheel.'
"Huh? N-No...Brian would've told me. They're not dating.... He would've told me to fuck off if I was bothering them.."
'Toby, we are a part of you. If we're telling you this then that means you were also asking yourself this without knowing or wanting to admit it. You like Brian. You don't want Tim taking him away from you. That's why you try and spend as much time as you can with Brian. You selfish twitch freak, you want Brian all for yourself. But you won't have a chance, do you really think that Brian wants a freaky little kid like you?'
"Shut up...I don't like Brian! I know I'm a f-freak! He'll never want to be with a weirdo like me!" I yelled out as some tears came out. I saw Tim looking at me, he was moving his mouth while softly shaking me. I couldn't hear him, they were still talking, I was still crying. 'You're probably scaring the shit out of Tim right now. I bet he's going to tell Brian all about this when you get back.'

-Tim's POV-

What the hell is wrong with him? He was fine a few minutes ago and out of no where he's just yelling and crying.
"Hey Rogers! Calm down!" I said and places my hands on his shoulder softly shaking him. He was looking at me but its like he couldn't hear me. "Toby! Tobias!" I yelled and smacked him on his face not sure on what else to do.

"T-Tim...?" Toby said and blinks for a few seconds still looking at me.

"Hey...are you alright?" I asked and softly rubbed his arms. I don't know what happened but at least it stopped.

Toby kept looking at me and pulled away. "I'm s-sorry! Th-They were just b-being loud, I-I swear I th-thought they were gone!" He starts apologizing as more tears streamed down. What was he talking about? Well he was talking about Brian and its been obvious that he likes him.
"Its fine, stop apologizing! I know you like him, I'm not gonna tell him."

"Huh...?" He said as his face turned into a soft pink color and looks away wiping his tears off. "I-I...I wasn't talk-talking about that...but how long h-have you known...? That I like...him.."

"Well, it is very obvious by the way you look at him, talk to him...its just easy to tell." I said as I kept looking at him.

"Don't hate m-me... I-I won't be self-selfish. I won't take Brian away from you..." He says and hugs me tightly.

"I don't know what you think me and Brian are but if it makes you feel better. We aren't dating." I said hoping that this will stop the crying. Was he really upset because of that? Actually... Did he hate me because he thought we were together?

"Y-You aren't..dating him...?" He softly smiled from that and hugged me tighter.

"Yeah...now stop being gay and let go..." I said with a small laugh as he kept go and softly punched me in the arm.

"I-I'm not gay, I'm bisexual." He says as he starts walking and I just followed.

"And the difference is...?" I asked and placed my hand on top of his head.
Toby just softly laughed and grabs my hand that was on his head.

"You know w-what I mean Tim!" He says as we both now laughed.

-

We kept talking for a good few hours, I didn't think we would ever get along like this. It was really nice... But something- Someone came and ruined it.

"Tim? Toby? Hey, I didn't know you two would be coming back around this time." Brian says.

How and why is he here? We happens to be on the same path back to the mansion.

"Brian! I missed you!" Toby says as he went and hugs Brian.

"Aww, I missed you too Toby!" He says hugging him back as the two began to walk.

"Hey Tim I missed ya too. Same Brian, I missed you." I said to myself as I followed them behind. Jeez being the third wheel sucks ass...
