Love In The Shadows (On Hold)

Maybe..

(Warnings: Mature language and Random homophobic Karen)
Toby's pov
I woke up from a nightmare I don't remember almost anything about the nightmare except it had a loud crash and fire...yeah...I rather not know what it means all my thoughts were cut off by Jeff kicking down the door "GET UP BITCH WE GOING SHOPPING" he semi-screamed he then proceeded to drag me into the hallway "Jeffery let the damn kid sleep" masky said as he was walking by, "so are you coming or not?" Jeff said and I just nodded and he began dragging me downstairs

"YALL TWITCHY BOY IS COMING" Jeff said I noticed Jane, Clockwork, hoodie and Ej there too they were probably going too I stood up from the ground gosh is Jeff energetic Jane then gave me a bracelet "put this on it will turn you to be more human-like" she said and I put it on I suddenly turned into what an average person would look like my age "alright we will split into duos Jeff you're with hoodie, Jane you're with me and Toby you are with Ej" clockwork said we all nodded and began our way

~time skip once they got there~

Once we got here Jane gave each and one of us a list and we began our way to get the things Ej then proceeded to give me a note 'What's on the list? And if you feel comfortable could we hold hands? I know it may sound weird but I am not really familiar here and need someone to guide me' it read "o-oh uh sure" I said he grabbed my hand and we just made our way to the next item

I noticed some random lady staring at us I didn't think much of it at first until she came up to us "Hey Mr? Would you mind not doing that in public?" She said "Oh- uh do what exactly?" I asked "You are showing affection to your boyfriend!" I stared at her trying to process what just happened until Ej yanked me away and started walking away I blushed once I realized what she said Ej then passed me another note 'Sorry that happened people are somewhat homophobic it's okay if you are too..' it said "W-What-.. oh no, no, no, no, no, no! Iam not homophobic!" I said he nodded and we continued to look for the last items but silent not the silent it was before but it was an awkward silent I did notice the lady following us so I picked up my speed

we quickly got the last few items and met up with Jane,Jeff,Hoodie and Clockwork "hey what took y'all so long?" Clockwork asked "Some random homophobic lady came up to us" I said "Damn did you atleast curse her out or some shit?" Jeff asked "No, Ej yanked me before I could say anything" I responded and we went back 'home' I was going into my room until I got yanked from my hoodie it was Jeff oh geez...what now "Tobias! Toby! Tobbes! My good pal! You are getting your mark!" He said I was confused at the nicknames but even more confused at the 'Mark', "The mark is a sing to indicate your a creepypasta we all have we can choose where we can put it and it doesn't hurt unless slender wants it to be painful and it's quick but it's like a welcoming to the family" he explained "anyways it's getting late so let's hurry up!" He said and dragged me

When we got downstairs I saw everyone from the mansion here "Oh and forgot to mention it's a really but really special case" he whispered and that's when I saw slender he then spoke "Dear children, we are gathered here to welcome a new member of the family" and with that Jeff pushed me forward to slenders direction "Toby, welcome to the family" he said he then his voice was heard in my head "where would you like your mark, child?" He asked I pointed at my arm he then grabbed my arm and a mark appeared it wasn't really painful not like I could even feel it if it was everyone started to cheer "Welcome to the family ,Ticci Toby" he said Jeff dragged me to a group of people and we started to celebrate

After the party I was exhausted they all kept asking me question and I tried to answer all of them but some were...personal so I didn't answer those I was at least happy to see everyone else happy I fell into my bed and decided to listen to some music...maybe Mitski? I really like her songs maybe I should make a comfort space? I should maybe ask slender "wanted to ask me something?" I heard him say, 'oh yeah forgot he could read minds', I've been thinking on having maybe a comfort space?" I said "a comfort space? Seems helpful for your mental health just say the things you need and they will appear, child" he responded "I think I'll need a bunch of blankets and pillows and some soft warm lights" I said suddenly my eyesight became blurry and started to get dizzy once I got myself stable I saw my comfort place already in order? Damn that was fast he sure is kind tbh

I put on my headphones and started to listen to Francis forever it always makes me cry for some reason but anyways I cuddled the blankets and slowly started to fall asleep while thinking of the things I did today...maybe it wasn't so bad here maybe I could give it a chance to be home everyone seems nice here if you don't mention the killing stuff...maybe I could have a fresh start here...just...maybe
