Her Fault [Ticcimask]
TW: -slight bullying -a breakdown<kinda
//Masky's POV//
Toby, Clockwork, BEN, and hoodie just walked inside. They were coming back from a mission Slendy sent them on. I was a little curious as to why he didn't send me with them but decided not to question it because of what happened last time I did. When they came in I was sitting on the sofa watching tv with Jeff.
I looked over from the couch seeing Toby depart from the group. It looked like something was bothering him. I waited for everyone to go back to their rooms and I got up. Jeff asked where I was going and I said,"To the kitchen." This isn't a lie because I saw Toby walk in there a bit earlier.
I headed over to the room and saw Toby getting something to drink. The sorrowful look on his face had somehow worsened. I came over to him and asked if he was okay.
"Y-yeah I-I'm fin-fine." It was really easy to tell he was lying by how his tics got harder for him to manage. He finished off his statement with a crack of his neck.
I wanted him to tell me the truth but I didn't want to pry incase it was personal. I went with my gut though and pulled him aside. "You don't have to talk about it but you don't have to lie to me either... No matter what I'm here for you Toby." I said as I wrapped my arms around him.
His breathing hitched and I felt him shyly return the embrace. "I-I'm sorry... I d-didn't mean t-to..." I looked down to him with tears welling in his eyes. His sadness became mine although I never saw myself as the endearing type. I hate seeing him so upset and being powerless against it. "Toby, you did nothing wrong okay?" He gave a small nod that was barely noticeable.
I brung him into my room so no one would see him like this. He would be so overwhelmed and they no doubt would think less of him. We sat on the edge of the bed and I questioned whether I should ask about the reasoning again. I decided on seeing what he would like me to do to help him.
"Toby... I'm not very good with emotions but I would want someone to ask which I would prefer..." I hesitated for a minute before I started again in a softer tone. "Do you want comfort or a distraction? I know firsthand sometimes it's better to not focus on how I'm feeling."
He came over and quickly cuddled up to me as a way of getting and showing his answer. "I'm sorry I'm so much. I'm sure you would rather be doing anything else, but I just want to thank you and tell you how much I appreciate this." He said slowly looking up at me, his tear stained cheeks now visible.
Toby started to nervously explain what happened. He said that they were doing the mission and Toby was talking with Hoodie but Clockwork started to make fun of his ticking. He said it was even worse because Hoodie didn't defend him and my heart shattered. At this point my blood was boiling but I stayed put so I could help Toby first.
"Toby, you aren't too much and I am so thankful to be right here. I would feel horrible if I knew you were going through all this by yourself."
I tightened my grip and began again. " you never have to be sorry or thank me. It's okay to need support so please don't apologize." I could feel his hands and they were freezing cold. I pulled the comforter over us and saw him shut his eyes. I opened my phone and mindlessly scrolled through Tumblr for what felt like 20 minutes then I went to sleep too cradling Toby in my arms.

I'm sorry it's so short and also makes like no sense but I hope you enjoyed anyway. I can't believe people are actually reading this and I'm thankful to the 'small' I guess some would say amount of people who read this it means a lot.
Bye bye luvs💫)
