EJ pov.

I hummed quietly as I read my book. The house was full of noise but one voice wasn't present. Toby. I looked up and didn't see him.

EJ: Anyone seen Toby?
Jeff: What about the twitching freak?

I sighed and seen him walk outside. I closed my book and went outside. I searched the whole entire forest but Toby was no where to be found. I sighed and started walking back to the mansion. I was almost there when I seen a hatchet. I looked and it was Toby's. It was covered in blood and I got up. He never leaves his hatchets out in the open and I followed the scent of blood. I found him floating in the river and ran over. I pulled him to shore and felt for a pulse. He had one and I picked him up. He was super light and I started to walk to the mansion.

Toby: J-jack?
EJ: Hey Toby.
Toby: Why?
EJ: You don't want to do what you were trying to do.
Toby: Yes I do.
EJ: No you don't Toby. We're almost at the mansion.

He sighed and walked next to me. He shivered and we went inside. We went up to his room and I got towels. I dried his hair and he got fresh clothes on. I seen his wrists and cleaned them. He looked at me and I sighed. He looked down and I rubbed his back.

EJ: If you ever need someone to talk to I'm always here.

He nodded and lied down. I walked out and before I did I had all of the razors in my pocket. I went to my room and started to read. Slender called everyone down for dinner and I went down. I sat in my seat and Toby quietly came down. He sat next to me and I gave him a smile. He looked at me and gave a tiny one. Everyone started to eat and Toby wasn't eating.

Toby: May I be excused?
Slender: You may.

Toby thanked him and left the room. Slender teleported off and Jeff and Ben snickered.

Jeff: Looks like he finally had some common sense.
Masky: Guess so.
Hoodie: *mumbles* I don't understand why your so mean to him.
Masky: Because he's annoying Hoodie.
Ben: Along with being a twitching freak.

I clinched my fist and they kept insulting Toby.

Jeff: Don't you agree Jack?
EJ: No. I disagree with everything you say. He can be annoying but he had a worse life than all of us. You are stuck up assholes who only care about yourself and only judge a book by it's cover. You don't know how he feels or even care. You just hate him for no fucking reason and I'm sick of you insulting him. His father didn't give a shit about him and he blames himself for his sister's death. He thinks he isn't human but he is. All of us were human and we have emotions. So stop being fucking assholes and think about how others feel.

Everyone looked at me shocked and I walked out of the room. I heard sobbing from Toby's room and gave a gentle knock.

Toby: Go away Jack!
EJ: Toby. Please let me in.
Toby: Why do you even care?! No one cares and I'm sick of it! Just let me end myself! Everyone hates me and it hurts! It hurts emotionally! I don't even think I'm human!
EJ: Toby. Let me in.
Toby: Just leave me alone!

I sighed and sat down. It was quiet in his room and I still heard him crying.

EJ: Talking to someone helps Toby. Please let me in. I hate to see you like this.

I got no verble response but a click was my answer. I stood up and went in his room. He was looking at the ground and I hugged him. He hugged me back and started to bawl. I hushed him and we sat on his bed. He curled up to me and started to hum a soft melody. His breathing slowed and he fell asleep. I disposed of the razors and took my mask off. I hugged Toby and fell asleep. I woke up and seen Toby was still asleep. I put my mask on and Toby twitched slightly. I hummed and rubbed his back. A knock was heard and a Breakfast from Clockwork. I rolled my eyes and Toby stirred. He woke up and looked at me. He smiled and I smiled back.

EJ: Come on. Breakfast is done.

He sighed and nodded. We got up and went downstairs. We sat down and he hesitated but started to eat. I did also and Jeff and Ben were glaring at Toby. I glared at them under my mask and everyone finished eating. We got up and Toby and I washed our plates. I got one of my books and sat on the couch. Toby sat next to me and leaned on me. He closed his eyes and I chuckled.

EJ: Tired?
Toby: Mm.

I smiled and he lied in my lap. He curled up and I played with his hair. He read the page and I flipped to the next. He got to this one part and tapped me. I looked at him and took his goggles off. He smiled and I read him the passage.

Toby: Oh. I didn't know that.
EJ: I didn't either. First time reading this book.

He chuckled and leaned on me. He shut his eyes and I glanced up. No one was in the living room and I knew they were out killing or something. I wrapped my arms around him and he twitched. I set his goggles to the side and took his hood off. His pale face held peace and I softly played with his hair. I soon fell asleep. I woke up to snickering and opened my eyes. Ben was looking at us and laughed.

Ben: Isn't that cute. Twitchy has a boyfriend.

I growled and Jeff came in.

Jeff: It's the cannibal also.

They laughed and left the room. Toby was tense and I felt a tear fall on my hoodie.

EJ: Ignore them Toby. They're assholes.

He nodded and I smiled.

EJ: Want to watch animal planet?

He looked at me and nodded. I turned it on and we watched. I was holding him protectively and we were paying close attention to the words coming from the TV. He wasn't ticking as much or twitching causing me to smile. The front door opened and Toby shrunk. We got up and went to his room. We lied down and he curled up to my side. It was Thanksgiving meaning everyone had to be here. Everyone didn't like Toby and he sighed.

EJ: Just sit next to me.
Toby: What about Ben and Jeff?
EJ: I cussed almost everyone out last night. Don't worry. I will do the same thing if they even say a word.

He nodded and the bell rang signalling dinner was done. We went downstairs and sat down. Everyone else came in and Toby had a grip on one of my hands. I gripped his back and we started to eat. Jeff and Ben were looking at us and we looked at them. They smirked and we glared. We all continued to eat and I felt like someone was going to say something.

Jeff: Why so quiet Toby?
Ben: Your never quiet.
EJ: And your never concerned. I know what your trying to do so say another word and I will show a living hell Benjamin. I won't hesitate to drown you again.

He froze and everyone looked at me shocked.

Puppeteer: So he does speak.
Toby: Of course he speaks. He's not mute. Just quiet.
Ben: Unlike you.

Ben yelped when his hat got pinned to the wall with a knife and they looked at me. I was tossing a knife in the air and smirked.

EJ: Next one is aimed for your throat. Same goes for you Jeff. We don't want a violent Thanksgiving do we?

They shook their heads no and Toby was trying his hardest not to laugh.

Jane: EJ. What does the E stand for in your name?

I looked at her and smirked.

EJ: Do you really want to know?

They nodded and I took my mask off. I looked at them and they froze.

EJ: Eyeless. Eyeless Jack.
Slender: Fun fact about EJ. He's a demon so he could kill you if he wanted to. Also what is this conflict about?
Toby: Nothing sir. Just a dumb reason.

Toby grip had tightened when he said that and I gripped his hand at the same force. He twitched and sighed. He glanced at me and I sighed.

EJ: Why don't we finish eating.

Everyone nodded and I put my mask on. I lifted it some and we all ate. Toby and I finished first and let each others hands go. We washed our plates and went to get things for the movie. We set up in a corner and lied down. Toby was sprawled out on top of me and I poked his stomach. He smiled and took his goggles off. I took my mask off and he lied next to me. He looked at my grey skin and I smiled.

Toby: *mumbles* I got you to smile.

I chuckled and he hesitated to take his mouth guard off. He did and I looked at him. I smiled and kissed his forehead. He blushed and we leaned on the wall. I had my arm around his waist and he leaned against me. I rubbed his knuckle and he let out a sigh in relief. Everyone else came in and didn't see us. Slender had something to do and everyone looked at each other.

Jeff: I swear those two are dating.
Clockwork: Fags.

Toby and I growled and the power went out. Everyone looked around and Toby and I stood. We drawn our weapons and ended up scaring everyone shitless. We taught them a lesson and the lights came on. They looked at me and we had shit eating grins.

Toby: You scream like little girls.
EJ: So brave and manly.
Ben: You assholes!

He was pinned to the wall by tendrils and Toby and I gulped.

Slender: Eyeless Jack and Ticci Toby. My office now.

We gulped and went to his office. We sat down and he teleported up. He looked at us and we told him everything. When we finished he looked shocked.

Slender: Very well. You still disobayed a rule so your punishment is being grounded for a week. I'll have a talk with everyone downstairs.

We nodded and went downstairs. We went to our spot and Slender teleported down.

Slender: A little birdy told me that you have been bulling Toby. Is this true?

Everyone froze and nodded.

Slender: Please tell my why you would do that? I was informed that EJ had lectured you after I left after you kept insulting Toby. Is this true also?
Hoodie: Yes sir. I regret everything I had said or done to Toby. I found out ur tried to drown himself yesterday vwhen I seen EJ bring Toby inside soaked. EJ also took Toby razors so he couldn't cut. EJ was the only one who took matters in his own hands is helping Toby out now. If the two were listening right now I would be thankful that they live in the mansion.
Slender: Look in the back corner.

Everyone did and seen us. We smiled at Hoodie and he tensed.

EJ: That's very kind Hoodie. I knew you wanted no part in harming Toby. So. Jeff, Ben. Have anything to say?

Everyone apologize and we smiled. We all watched the movie and it turned into a good night after all.
