Connected hearts [ticci Toby x reader]

[chapter 13]

[name's] POV

I was woken up by the sound of birds chirping and the bright sunlight was upon my face. I slowly opened my eyes but to be face with a smiling Toby, seeing his big soft brown eyes warms my heart in every way. I couldn't help but to smile softly as I was so close to him.
"Morning princess~" He said with a little smirk. I responded with a smile and greeted him with a good morning as well. His voice was raspy but calming...

"Wait! What are you doing here?!"

"Y-you said wait h-here...and when you *tics* came back you were completely d-drunk...slightly sober but s-s-still..." He said as he chuckles softly. Hearing from what he said made my face completely flustered.

Did he saw me at the worst time?!

What did I say to him!?

Did we...no-...no we didn't right?!

I can't remember that well!

Wait...did we use protection?!?!

"W-well since your first date didn't go so well, I decided we could have a hang out t-together...I made breakfast down stairs if your hungry..." he said as he gotten out of bed. He then left the room, leaving me with the decision to make...

My clothes were slightly damp, so I changed out into something else. I made my way down stairs and the sweet smell of waffles and strawberries captivated me. I couldn't help but to slightly drool as I can already taste the sweet bitterness of waffles. I poked my head out and to my surprise, Toby was wearing one of the aprons I have that says 'sweet heart' along with bright pastel pink heart in the middle. I couldn't help but to chuckle by the sights of him.
"D-Don't laugh...I didn't want my clothes to get dirty." He said as a bright shade of pink stained his cheeks...He's so adorable... I then pulled up a chair were I was across from him. In my plate their was three fluffy waffles stacked, along with fresh strawberries that were laid on top that was drizzled with sweet maple syrup. It all looks so good... I cut off a piece of the waffle and the sweet taste of maple syrup and the thick and fluffy-ness of the waffle overwhelmed me. The taste was incredible, and nothing like the store bought batter.

"I-it was my mother's recipe*tics*...I hope you like it...I a-apologize that it w-was left a mess, I don't c-cook often cause I can't *tics*r-r-really be trusted in the kitchen."

"It's delicious Toby, thank you." I said with a soft smile, he rubbed the back of his neck as he blushes softly. We then both scarf down are waffles as they were incredibly delicious and tasty.

Time has pass and we both decided to go out and get some sweets and walk around the park. I putted on my jacket because it was chilly today, Toby has his hoodie on but doing so I noticed a small red stain, I shook it off as we both left the house. The light breeze was relaxing and calming. The leaves were crunchy, which I'm concluding that autumn is right around the corner.

-time skip-

"So you don't know what's veggie-tales is?"

"I-it sounds kinda strange for it to be a s-show..."

"Ok, what about the wonder pets?"

"That, I definitely r-r-remember..."
We both were talking about are childhood shows when we were little. But sadly he never watched veggie-tales, I mean before I came to Denver, veggie-tales was popular but I guess not here. Are conversation was interrupted as I noticed the cafe that Nathan use to work...I would be really glad to see his stupid face again..

"Hey, I'm feeling kind of thirsty...can we get a drink?" I said. He looks hesitant at first but he then agrees. We walked into the cafe, doing so we waited in line but I couldn't help but to feel the eyes of millions in the cafe. I looked at Toby but only to see him making eye contact to the floor, he must be avoiding the attention he's been getting about his twitches and abrupt movements. He must feel uncomfortable...
"Why does he twitch so much?"
"I don't know but it's really weird, it's not natural for people to do that."
"Maybe its a disorder?"
"Yeah a weird one.."
Their was two people whispering from the back of the line, like they are ignorant for thinking that I didn't hear them. I took notice that Toby's hand was twitching uncontrollably, so me being me...I had to do something...I took action and hold his hand to calm his nerves, eventually it worked...feeling the warmth of both of Are palms touching...it was comforting...soft...and warm...I feel like I'm doin the right thing...and it feels so good...

"Next in line please." The cashier said.
'Fuck...fuck fuck fuck, were next...ok just say 'hi, how did the pullout go? You dick!' Yeah that will work! I am sorry that I have to involve Toby into this but I need this to be over...'' my thoughts were cut off by a different voice that I wasn't expecting.
"Ma'am...your order?"
I looked up to see a different face...this unexpected...why isn't he here today?
"Umm I'll have Carmel Frappuccino, please" I said, she didn't even look up, but as soon she made eye contact with Toby her eyes lit up in amusement.
"A-and for you sir?"

"H-hot chocolate, p-please"

"Ok, thank you" she said as she was blushing madly. I couldn't help but to feel a bit of jealousy...why is she blushing...Not long after, are drinks came...now I can ask...

"Thank you and have a nice day-"

"Wait! Umm...isn't Nathan supposed to work today?"

"Oh yeah! We called him earlier and he didn't answer, one thing for sure he's getting fired tomorrow if he doesn't show up."

"Oh...okay...Thank you"

We then exited the cafe and made are way to the park. The wind was soft and the sight of people playing and running was calming. The sky was slightly gray but not that gloomy...in the distance I see a empty, old bench. I wanted to take a moment to sit, as my legs were getting a little bit tired. Doing so we both sat down as the sweet breeze gently blows on are faces as we sip on are warm drinks. Their was a small silence between us, until he spoke...

"So Nathan...is that the guy you w-went out w-with yesterday?"

"What?"

"Yesterday y-you said you went out with a guy n-named *tics* N-Nathan, and h-h-he worked at a cafe...is that w-why we went their?"

"What? No, I just...it's complicated...but if anything I'm glad it didn't work out with me and him...because I have you now...and being with you right now...it warms my heart...Toby I...I-" I was cut off by the warm feeling of Toby's lips upon mine. The feeling was sensational...I haven't kissed a guy in such a long time...every feeling I have...warm, fuzzy, soft, simple, it all was mix into one emotion. All I could do now was kiss him back in response...I can feel his tongue licking my bottom lip. By this action my heart started to increase rapidly... eventually he pulled away for a gasp of air as he spoke...
"I love you...[name]..." he said as he looked into my eyes, searching for an answer...

"I love you too.." I said in response...he then continued to kiss me but it was slightly a bit rougher but still it was passionate...

"[name]? What are you doing here?"

We were interrupted by someone talking, as they were standing right in front of us...

Fuck....
