don’t kill yourselves theres too few freaks in the world as it is
Toby’s eyes blink open slowly as his head rolls against your leg. It was BEN’s laughter that had woken him up, and as he blinks a few more times he remembers where he is.
It was after dinner, and the three of you were perched in the living room. He had been leaning back against the table while BEN watched you play Animal Crossing on the big screen. You were covered up, feet resting on the table, which was how he assumed his head had come to rest against you. You haven’t noticed him looking at you, your eyes trained onto the TV. He hears you cast your fishing line into the water, and he hears BEN’s laughter again as a sour look crosses your face.
“Awwwww, another sea bass, huh? Maybe you’ll get an oarfish next time!” He laughs again and you simply narrow your eyes at the screen as Toby can hear your character running down the beach line.
He can hear the others, bickering in the dining room he thinks. Jeff and Tim are the loudest, having a debate about something, but the room is filled with bubbling laughter. The sun is streaming in through one of the windows, casting sun upon Toby’s face. Domestic bliss. That’s how he feels right now, as he nuzzles gently into your leg, and yet, your eyes don’t sway to him. It’s not often there are days this peaceful in the mansion, and it brings a deep sense of calm into him.
He closes his eyes again, wanting to prolong this moment for as long as he possibly can. He always feels the most at peace when he’s resting beside you like this, and as he listens to the others bicker in the other room, and you and BEN carrying about some small talk as you play, he feels extremely at peace. His eyes peek open again, and you have a much more relaxed look on your face, a gentle smile blooming across your lips. It makes him want to kiss you, but he makes no effort to move. He just continues resting, laying there, his eyes blissfully trained on your face.
You go to cast your line again, and you focus intently on the screen as BEN cheers out ‘sea bass, sea bass’ over and over again. The gasp leaving BEN and the extremely delighted smile on your face tells him everything he needs to know before you’re bragging to BEN about how you knew you could do it. You’ve finally caught your oarfish. You’re laughing, smiling, taunting BEN right back, and again, the overwhelming feeling to kiss you comes over Toby, but his body makes no move to do so yet again. Not yet. Not right now. Not while he wants to live in this moment.
Admiring you is one of his favorite hobbies these days, watching as you exist naturally, as you interact with those around you. It puts him into a sense of serenity he never thought he could feel, and he just wants to rest, just a few more moments. A part of him fears that if he moves, breaks the moment and alerts you that he’s awake, that the domestic bliss he’s found himself in will go away, even if he knows that’s not the case. So, just to spoil himself, he rests. He closes his eyes as he listens to you speak, a delighted, content smile crossing his own lips as he rests. He’s finally at peace, finally happy. He’ll get a kiss from you in just a few minutes he promises himself, but for now, for now he just wants to bask in your presence, and in this moment of perfection.

It’s been a while since I’ve written something darker, huh? Just been in a funk lately and wanted to get this out

Toby had always been so warm.
His smile projected vibrancy and love, his eyes shone brightly as if they were made up of crystals, and he always had a deep, comforting warmth to his presence. It was what had drawn you into him at first when you’d bumped into him that day at a park. He had drawn you in with his charm, and he’d been drawn in by your acceptance. He’d explained it had always been hard to make friends with his severely slow speech and occasional stutters, for his tics that would flow through his body, but you’d never cared. You hadn’t cared, but maybe you should have.
For someone so warm, it was horrifying how cold he could become.
You didn’t know when it had started, but at some point, Toby had started spending a lot more time with you. Accompanying you almost everywhere, or ‘bumping into you’ on accident in public spaces. You hadn’t thought much at the time, but perhaps it had been your first warning. It was how fast things had changed that was so jarring to you. One day, the two of you were eating ice cream and laughing at cheesy jokes. The next, you were chained up in his house with bruises along your body and fear blazing within you. For someone so warm, his eyes had looked absolutely frozen that day, peering down at you in anger.
“Hey… Please stop crying… Show- Show me… That smile I love… So much.” It had taken him even longer than normal to get the words out, his body trembling in anger at your disappointment, your fear, your protest.
“Toby, just let me go, please! Let me go home! I’ll give you whatever you want, just let me go! I won’t tell anyone!” You’d screamed in protest, sobs wracking your body as you struggled against the chains. Your loud voice had him shaking even more, tears running down his own face as he fell to the floor in front of you.
“Please… D-don’t scream… At me like that- y-you know how… How much it hurts me…” The enunciation placed upon 'hurts’, the raw emotion he had put into it had you feeling sick. As if you weren’t hurting right now, with injuries all over you, and chains much too tight digging into you.
Toby tended to run hot and cold, and that was something you’d learn fast.
There were two sides to him, two opposites. On one hand, he could be so absolutely tender with you. Running his hands softly through your hair and shushing you gently, smoothing his fingers over your injuries and caring for them, pressing tender kisses across your flesh. He could be so loving, so absolutely caring and tender. Perhaps that was why his other side was so terrifying, so absolutely horrendous to deal with. Because, when he wasn’t caring, he was-
“I-I’m doing… This for YOU! Why a-a-are you… Trying to stop me?!” He’d screamed at you as he dragged you across the ground. You flailed around, kicking your legs about and crying as you tried to escape his grasp.
“I just want to go home!!” You’d choked out, voice strained and breaking from how much you’d been yelling, how often you’d been crying.
“You are home!” He’d yelled back. He’d finally gotten you inside the house, throwing you in and locking the door behind him. He’d been on you in a second, pinning you down with his full weight.
“This… Hurts me more… Than it hurts you… But if I can’t… Trust you..” He’d heaved out, shifting himself to be sitting on your stomach as he grasped at your feet. It had been unfortunate in your case, the fact that he’d had so many tools laying about the kitchen at that time.
You hadn’t even realized what had happened until the pain registered in your mind. Your right ankle throbbed incessantly, and you’d thrown your head back with an earsplitting wail without even realizing it. He’d taken the sledgehammer again, and repositioned himself, swinging it down upon your left ankle this time. He’d rose off of you, letting you lay there to sob and scream as you curled in on yourself, clutching at your legs.
“How pitiful… Those cries are.” He’d said after a moment. The look he gave you had the breath you’d been choking on freeze in your throat. Such cruelty, such violence, such hatred- you’d never seen such a shiveringly cold gaze. “My… Poor little Songbird…” He’d cooed at you, arms crossed and a haughty huff leaving his chest.
When Toby wasn’t kind, he was inexplicably cruel. Really, it was usually up to you to flip the coin and find out which side you were going to get. Eventually, he’d moved you out of the basement, and into a newly renovated room in his little shack in the woods. It was small, with nothing more than a bed and a dresser, but that wasn’t what had caught your eyes. No, it was the metal. The golden metal curving around the walls, across the window, across the door to the room.
It was a gilded birdcage.
“A perfect little cage… For my perfect little Songbird…” He’d cooed to you excitedly, nuzzling into you, begging for affection and attention, so absolutely proud of himself and what he’d had done to the room. You wanted to vomit.
It was common for the two of you to spend most of your time in there. He’d curl up with you on the bed, trying to get all of your attention and rambling about anything and everything, and you just tried to not lose yourself to the insanity slowly settling into your mind.
“Hey… Kiss me…” It wasn’t a question, and so you’d pressed a kiss to his cheek, and his eyes screamed out at you to keep going, so you’d pressed small, chaste kisses across his face, ending with one on his lips. His eyes grew lidded as he leaned into you, pressing his lips to yours again and again and again.
You’d tried to pull back, and in hindsight that had been a bad decision, but at the moment you’d just felt too overwhelmed, felt a strong need for space, but with Toby space didn’t exist.
“Hey… Did I say… You could stop?” The darkness to his voice and the emptiness in his eyes did little to calm you, and you struggled to push out an answer, but he hadn’t given you the chance.
“I’m the one in charge… I tell you what you can and can’t do…” He’d maneuvered himself on top of you, pinning you to the mattress, licking his lips as a sickening giggle left his throat.
“Should I… Punish you?” Before you could grasp onto his words, he was already at work. His teeth had gnawed into the skin of your shoulder, piercing in firm and painful, allowing blood to flow out of the wound, and next was a spot on the nape of your neck before he’d pulled back.
You gazed up at him through the tears cascading down your face, chest heaving, and he’d pulled up one of your arms, pressing a soft kiss to the tender skin of your wrist and closing his eyes in peace. Then, he’d reopened his eyes, and just as they’d met yours, he’d bitten down, tearing open the skin of your arm. The look upon his face was much too sensual for the acts of violence he’d been committing, and as he licked at your wounds, you couldn’t help but wince and gasp at the sting.
“That’s right… Sing for me… My pretty little Songbird…” He’d leaned back down to your ear, and pressed a kiss to it, before whispering in a dangerously psychotic tone, “Remember, Songbird… You’re useless without me… My poor pet can’t… Take care of themselves… I take good care of you, so… Stop disobeying me.” Fear had overtaken your form, and you shuddered beneath him.
He’d giggled giddily as he pulled back and gazed down at you, blood smeared across his lips and teeth, an emotion so disgustingly sickening that you hated to call 'love’ shining within his eyes. He’d tenderly stroked his thumb across your lips, and you gazed up at him. Small. Docile. With the amount of blood you were already losing, any more punishments could be dangerous. Not dangerous enough to kill you, no, he’d never allow that. Just dangerous enough to greatly increase suffering.
“Your pain… Always gets me so… Hot inside…” He’d giggled again, pushing his hips against you, and he’d leaned down to capture your lips in another forceful kiss.
“Disobey me… Again,” he’d started between kisses, “And maybe… I’ll bite… Your lips off… Mmm, that would be… Good... Although, I guess I’d miss… Kissing you like this…” He slotted his hips against you again, and as you grasped at his hair in shock he’d whined against you, whispering words of encouragement through his giggles of excitement.
“Yes… Grab onto me… Yank at me… God, just touch me…” He’d moaned out as he continued to grind into you, lapping at the drying blood on your skin and whining like it was the best thing he’d ever experienced.
It was scary. How fast he could change between dominating you and begging you to dominate him. But, of course-
“Keep touching me… Or maybe I’ll take away… Your arms, too…” His face was flushed red, eyes dilating at the thought, and he’d groaned as you shivered against him in fear.
It was all just a game to him, a game of domination and control, a game you weren’t sure you’d ever win. After all, by the end of that night, you’d had five more bites pierced through your flesh, edging him on. After all, there was no more intoxicating combination in his opinion than the sound of your crying and pain being inflicted upon you, your blood shining so brightly across your skin.
You were helpless against him. He greatly overpowered you in strength, and with your legs damaged beyond repair and your body chained to the cage you were locked within, there was no way out. You were stuck here, as a plaything, a toy, a source for pain and torture. A way for him to seek companionship, to seek pleasure.
His precious little Songbird.
he's just a lil princess
Toby's reaction/response to being told that he is a major comfort and that his tics dont make him any less lovable by a reader that isn't his s/o quite yet?
{Ty in advance, Toby is a huge comfort}
-Toasty anon 🌸
Ah, a nice budding romance with some sweet fluff. Love this stuff
Toby is a big bundle of insecurities about himself. Toby wants to be a kind, caring, loving presence for those around him amidst all of his struggles, and he especially wants to be that for you, the person starting to worm their way deeper into his heart, deeper than anyone else has been in a big, long while, and it's intimidating for him.
Toby often gets nervous that he comes on too strong with you, that he annoys you too much, and that you don't find him as welcoming as he wants to come across as. It starts to become obvious, his nervousness, and that's what prompts you to end up stepping in and telling him those sweet comments of yours. It happens when the two of you are laying side by side one day in his bed, just chilling on a cold fall day, and the words just come tumbling out of you. That you feel so comfortable around him, that he's such a warm, comforting, wholesome presence to you, that all of his tics, all those little things about himself that he hates, they never bothered you in the slightest bit, that you love being around him and spending time with him.
Toby takes a while to process your words, to let them truly sink in, and then before he realizes it he's shaking, tears falling down his face, his face all scrunched up from it, and you're pulling him into your chest, wrapping him up in a big hug. He loves you, he's IN love with you, even if he doesn't realize it yet, but he will, and he will soon. That's why it means so much to him to hear you say that, to reassure his insecurities without him even having to mention them, and it just feels so good to be held like this by you, to be comforted by you amidst all of his emotions. You're everything he's needed and wanted, even if he isn't fully cognizant of that fact yet, but with your presence by his side, he'll realize it soon, and so will you. It'll be a wonderful, emotionally romantic day when that time comes, but for now, you're content to stay wrapped up in each other's presence like this.
