"Everyone! Come downstairs immediately!" The tall, faceless man known as Slender called.
In just a few moments, the mansion was filled with the sound of footsteps clamoring down the stairs. All of the Pastas rushed down to meet Slender. All except one.
Jeff, being quite shy at the time, leaned over the banister to hear what was happening.
"There is someone I'd like you all to meet." Slender said with a 'smile'. He looked behind him and motioned forward a tall boy who looked to be about 19.
Jeff crept downstairs a short ways and peeked around the corner to get a better look at the newcomer; Brown hair, chocolate brown eyes, an almost mesmerizing smile...
"This," Slender gestured to the boy, "is Toby. He is my new proxy. Now, I want you all to treat him kindly. He's now a part of this family."
Toby looked around at everyone and smiled, waving at them. "H-Hello!" He said, twitching slightly.
Jeff shook his head quickly, realizing he had been staring stupidly at the boy for quite a while, not even listening to what Slender had been saying.
He waited for everyone to congregate in the living room before quickly darting down the rest of the stairs, towards the kitchen. He glanced around and sighed, moving towards the pantry.
"Whatcha doin' there?" An unfamiliar voice suddenly rang through the kitchen. Jeff jumped and quickly turned towards the direction the voice came from, only to be greeted by Toby.
"A bit jumpy, aren't we?" He said with a chuckle.
Jeff's cheeks turned a light red, staring down at the floor. "Oh... Hello." He said in a quiet tone, ignoring Toby's first question.
"I don't believe we've met yet." The boy smiled. He walked towards Jeff and extended a hand to him. "I'm Toby."
"I'm Jeff." He replied with a weak smile, shaking Toby's hand.
The boy pulled on Jeff's wrist, bringing him closer. He leaned down and whispered in his ear, "You're cute. I hope we become gooood friends...~"
