Connected hearts [ticci Toby x reader]

[chapter 14]

Fuck...it's Gabriella...

"And who's this?" She said as she raised her eyebrow...fuck what should I say next?

"This is Toby..." her eyes lit up as she's very aware of the name.

"Oh! Wow it's a pleasure to meet you!" She said as she smiles widely. The last time I told her about Toby, was when I met him. Now that she's this close up to him I couldn't help but to feel so embarrassed and uncomfortable. And by judging his face expression, he does seem to uncomfortable. I mean I don't blame him, I haven't told him about Gabriella and how we are friends. So he must feel clueless as well...

"I'm heading out to get some lunch, wanna join?" She said with another smile. Knowing Gabriella for a month, she tends to be very pushy and persistent when she wants things to go her way...if I denied her offer she most likely would insist and that gets really annoying time to time. I looked at Toby for an answer but he was avoiding eye contact again, he was looking at the ground with a anxious and uncomfortable face expression...I know this is supposed to be a me and him thing but I'm really, really sorry Toby...

"Sure..."

"Great! Than we can walk their too!"

"What?!...umm okay, yeah...sure..."

The three of us were now walking to get some lunch. It was mostly quiet during the walk their, I know toby was incredibly nervous and anxious, I mean if I recall...he was called 'ticci Toby' as his childhood nickname as he was teased about his disorder...now I'm just worried what would Gabriella would say...I hope it's not offensive...

Toby's POV
I tried my best to contain my tics to do a good first impression on [name's] friend. I don't want her to think of me like a freak...
"Soooooo Toby...how long have you known [name]?" She said with a smirk.

"Gabriella!" [name] cried in embarrassment. Her friend waited for a response as she was looking directly into my eyes, I looked at the ground to think of an answer...I couldn't just say 'I was originally sent to kill her from my faceless demon boss, and now I'm in love with her...'

"I-I...umm...about a month or t-two weeks..."

"That's nice...oh wait! I forgot to ask, where do you live?"

In a mansion with a bunch of serial killers...
"I umm..."
"Oh sweet! We're here!" In front of us was a classic diner, almost like it was from the 90's. We walked into the diner and took a seat at the booth. We looked at the menu and thought about what we were gonna eat. Doing so their was another long uncomfortable silence. I couldn't help but to bounce my leg as I was more than anxious of the silence between all of us.
"Hey [name] can you come to the bathroom with me?"
Please...don't go [name]...don't leave me alone...
"Umm sure, I'll be back Toby."
Fuck...

They then existed out of the booth and when to the restroom leavening me alone as I can feel thousands of eyes on me as I twitch slightly. I feel scared for some reason I just don't know why...what's taking them so long...what are they talking about in their...

[name] POV

Gabriella dragged me to the bathroom for privacy. The bathroom was empty which means nobody could eas-drop.
"...ok not gonna lie...............he's hotter in person"
"Gabby!!!" I cried as I was embarrass at this point, why would she say that in front of me?!
"[name]! you just hit the jackpot! I mean cute guy, lonely, has pretty brown eyes and not to mention what I saw from before, a good kisser~" Gabriella said as she nudged and winked at me. I groan in embarrassment, everything what she just said was true, he is cute and the last part was Even more true, and everything she said was true...am I saying true to much?

"I mean...your not wrong...he's all the things that you said" Gabriella then squeal in excitement as she was more than happy to know that she was right.

"Wait did you guys! You know...done the dirty deed?" She asked as she raised her eyebrow in a dirty way. My face was filled with bright shades of pink and red. Why would she say that?! I haven't even seen his...you know...member. As a unexpected thought came in my head...
I wonder how long is his- NO! Don't think it! Don't say it!

"What?! No! Gabby I don't even wanna think about it, I'm not ready for that!"

"Mmhhhh I bet you were just thinking how long was his di-"

"N-NO I WASN'T!" 

"Don't lie to me, you yell when you know it's true."

"Ugh can we just go now? We left Toby alone and I'm worried if anyone is gonna bother him."

"Why is that?"

"Well, He has Tourette's that apparently others don't understand, so can we please go?"

"Fine"

We then left the bathroom and eventually made it to the booth as we sat down once again another silence has appeared.

"Good evening what can I you for today?" The waitress came with a classic pen and a notepad.
And like usual she looks so dead and monotone. But I couldn't care less, it's normal to see people like that.

"I'll have a cheese burger with no pickles please" I replied.

"And you miss?"

"Same thing, but no onions"

"And you sir?"

"Umm w-waffles please" Toby asked with a soft smile. Gabriella was kinda weirded out a bit but it can't be that bothering right?

"Okay, I'll be back with your orders" the waitress said as she left. Doing so we waited but Gabriella being Gabriella, she started some small talk but surprisingly it actually work. Sure Toby was anxious at first but soon he started to feel slightly comfortable...I was happy to know that Toby can feel comfortable with me and Gabriella now...I couldn't help but to smile, seeing Toby smiling and laughing is like watching a child being cute and authentic at the same time...it warms my heart.

-time skip-

We had are dinner and now we were on are way home, I was slightly drowsy so I was somewhat sound sleepy. I couldn't help but to yawn as I accidentally cut off Toby in mid sentence.

"I'm sorry"

"I-Its okay"

"I'm sorry if she came in unexpectedly"

"D-Don't be...I'm glad their other who are like you...but...they are n-nothing compared to you.." he said as he rubbed the back of his neck and blushes ever so slightly. Hearing those words mad me feel special...I don't know why but...I feel happier and clear when I'm with him. In the distance I see my house, I looked at Toby to let him know that we've arrive and it was time to say goodbye.

"You're welcome to come over when ever you please" I said as I hugged him tightly. He then hugged back, the smell of pine trees and oak was relaxing and comforting. He then pulled back but to abruptly kiss me in the lips. I can taste the slightest bit of syrup that was on his lips but I didn't mind it. I felt free but like most kisses my mind was blank all I could do was admire this moment. He then pulled back and rested his forehead upon mine as he hold my hands in a loving way.

"Goodnight [name]." He said without a stutter.

"Goodnight Toby." I said as I smile softly.

"I love you..."

"I love you too..."
