Connected hearts [ticci Toby x reader]

[chapter 10]

Authors POV

'Is she drunk?!' Toby thought to himself, from memories he have from his past he had an abusive alcoholic father. So looking at [name] slurring her words, he was really worried of what was gonna happen. He never expected her to be the alcoholic type.

"Hey Toby!" [name] said with a giggly tone. She then abruptly hugged him as she needed something to control her balance. Toby couldn't help but to smile softly, even though it wasn't the right time to smile he still did. But Toby being Toby he felt the need to do something to make her not act like this.

"W-We should get you up-"

"You smell nice...and you feel so warm..." [name] said as she nuzzles her head into Toby's chest. He wasn't mad that she cut him off in fact he was startled of what she just said. He never been complemented before, especially like this.

"[n-name] y-your drunk, you need to go to bed!" He said with assertion.

"Can I star gaze with you?" She asked so innocently. Toby didn't know what to do in the situation but one thing for for sure he couldn't help but to be flustered a little bit. Toby never seen someone drunk like this but yet can act so innocent. He then nodded to her question which she smiled softly in reply.

She then gladly took Toby's hand which they both were now laying on the grass as they enjoy themselves looking at the night sky with the infinite stars. Their was a strong silence between [name] and Toby, the only sound that was coming out was the sound of crickets chirping and the shallow blows of the wind.
In Toby's prospective this was getting uncomfortable but before he couldn't say anything [name] spoke.

"My mom died..." she said out of context. She was to lost in the stars she didn't even pay attention of how she said it.

"I'm s-sorry that happened..."

"The last thing I said to her was 'enjoy your pitiful life'...and now she's gone...I can't take it back..."

"It's ok...if I'm gonna be honest I also l-l-lost someone special to me as well...she was the one thing that came good into my I-life..."

"Really who?"

"My sister l-Lyra...she died in a car crash when I was 17...after that my father became *tics* more abusive towards me... I had to him stop...h-he was hurting people...he was hurting me...so I...I said too m-much..."

"I'm sorry that happened..."

"Yeah..."

Their was another moment of silence between them as they both were speechless of what to say next. What felt like hours which it only have been 20 minutes [name] decided to speak first.

"Did you know it can rain inside?"

"W-What?" Toby question. He honestly wasn't sure if she was still drunk or not. But regardless he still wants to be with her, even if she's speaking such nonsense.

"Yeah! Let me show you!" She said as she grabbed his hand and led him inside the house. They both rushed upstairs, doing so Toby couldn't help but to think of what was [name] was talking about.

It can rain inside?

What was she referring too?

Until he then realized where she led him to...it was the bathroom...she was referring to the shower...

His face flushed with a bright shade of pink, was he going to see her bare skin???

"Come in!" She said as she turn on the shower faucet. At this point right now toby was completely flustered, everything was moving way to fast for him. Without realizing that he was standing their frozen [name] pulled him into the shower as the water was warm, not too hot and not too cold, it was perfect.

But to be unexpected she still had her clothes on. Her clothes are now soak with water as her hair was completely damp. At this moment Toby took a moment to appreciate of how [name] looks, even though she was soaking wet he still admire how carefree she is.

There wasn't enough room in the shower, which caused [name] and Toby to be very close, close enough were here breast was slightly press against his chest.

She then giggled in joy as she as she was still slightly drunk. Not completely sober but decent enough to be around. Hearing her laugh was a beautiful sound in Toby's ears, which caused himself to laugh along with her. Until at a abrupt moment [name] started to sing.

"Put your head on my shoulder...Hold me in your arms, baby...Squeeze me oh-so-tight, Show me that you love me too..."

She was singing 'put your head on my shoulder' by Paul anka... a old but a good song. hearing her voice, hearing her as she sings to the rhythm. It was memorable for him...her voice was soft but yet so comforting...Toby wasn't familiar with the part but he was familiar with some of the lyrics.
Then without a warning [name] wrapped her arms around Toby's neck as she placed her head on his chest...she then slide down along pulling Toby with her. They were now on a position where [name] was on Toby's lap as her arms were still wrapped around his neck. As the shower continues to sprinkle water, this cause Toby grab the sides of her waist as he couldn't control himself, His heart was racing rapidly. Her breast was making contact with his body, as her legs were on each sides. Allowing her to be on top of him, his grip Tightens once more on hips as he couldn't help but to flustered and embarrassed. He can still smell the slightest bit of alcohol each time she breaths out from her nose. He didn't mind it honestly, I loved this feeling...he loves her...

"Put your lips next to mine, dear Won't you kiss me once, baby? Just a kiss goodnight, maybe, You and I will fall in love"

For the first time in a while, Toby actually sing, and to her surprise he didn't stutter. Hearing his dark yet soothing voice...it brings comfort to her...especially the fact of how he was holding her as well.

"You have a beautiful voice...and a wonderful heart beat..." she mumbled, not too soft but enough for Toby to hear her. He then smiled as she was on the verge of falling asleep on top of him.

Toby then slowly yet carefully carried name 'bridal style' and took her to her room. He then went to the bathroom closet to find a towel to dry up Her clothes and body. She was still a little bit drowsy but not sleepy enough. Toby then lay out the towel on her pillow to dry her hair when she lays down. Doing so he gave her her pajamas and waited outside until she was done getting dress.

-time skip-

Time has pass and [name] was in Toby's arms as he tried to make her rest. She couldn't help but to enjoy the feeling of being hold, especially this close to his body.

"Today isn't a good day isn't..."

"What d-do you mean?"

"I mean first of all was my mother's death...second of all my date with Nathan wasn't that Pleasant..."

"You w-went o-o-on a date?"

"Yes, I think I didn't like him that much. I met him at a coffee shop...I must've been foolish to think that...it's ok now I'm much more happier when I'm with you..."
