Omicidio d'amore ? Ticci Toby x Reader

reunion 

Finally, Brian placed my weak body down on the floor. As we traveled I must have fallen asleep as everything between then and now was but a blur of images, the echoing of Tim's screaming and the terrifying crackle of the static that thing produced. I rubbed my eyes before noticing my stockings were ripped and the thread was coming out in random places. Well fuck. 

Looking up at the male I watched as he pulled out his gun and make his way forward before leaping behind the tree. I raised a brow but heard a loud cough coming from another person, I scurried over to see who it was. "you're alive." Tim croaked out at the both of us before letting out a weak laugh. Blood splattered into his fist as he coughed once again, I looked down at him in concern. "if I die….tell Toby to lower me in my grave." Despite none of us finding Toby, which made my stomach churn with fear, he still mentioned him. Brian raised a brow as he glared down at the coughing male. " why? you're seriously trusting him-" Tim cut him off. "so he can let me down one final time..." Brian bit back a laugh meanwhile I was beyond confused. 

"I saw the kid." I perked up with eyes sparkling with hope. "He was screaming, I couldn't hear it and I was too busy rolling into different places I couldn't see him for long but he saw me and didn't do shit." He frowned. "Damn kid didn't even try to fight or anything." wringing my hands I let my gaze go over the trees. 'where are you, Toby? Please let him be alive.…'

Walking along what seemed liked now abandoned wooded park I kept my eyes lingering on each clearing in hopes I'll spot the final member of our party. Tim ruffled my hair, I snapped my gaze to him with a weak excuse of a smile. "You think we'll find him?" he nodded but Brian remained silent letting his gun fidget in his hand as his fingers uncurled and curled around it. We all perked up hearing a voice in the distance. I rushed forward. "C'mon! What if it's Toby!" the two men followed but in a slower pace as I let my legs take me to the source of the sound. 

Nothing, nothing was here. I could hear him but he wasn't there. I looked up and around but still no sign of Toby - could this be another trick from that thing? My fists tightened into a ball. "Where are ya, Tobias?" Tim muttered before pulling me into his chest as I covered my ears. BANG BANG BANG!  I shoved myself out of Tim's grasp "Brian-!" Nothing happened. "What did you do that for?!" I bit back raising my voice too high as I glared at him. "It was a signal-" Tim seemed to understand what he said but I just paused. "For?" Brian checked the bullets in his gun; three left. "Toby." My heart sank as nothing continued to happen, oh god what if- 

I cupped my face in my hands as I let out a hiccup. "i- I think Toby is dead-" Something landed on the ground with a giant thud. I let out a high pitched scream as I jumped back. " never mind…" Tim muttered. I immediately rushed to Toby but he flinched away as soon as I placed a hand on him. What happened- "F-FUCK OFF OLD-OLD M-MAN!" I pulled back as he slapped my hand away. "Toby?" he snapped his gaze to me before grinning despite having a busted lip. "H-honey!" We both fell to the floor as he gets a tight hold on my frame. My fingers found their way in hair pulling out a twig from a large knot before at his face as his eyes pierced through my own. My heart was ruining its normal rhythm as it began to get quicker as if reaching the climax of its chorus, his forehead touched my own as he cradled my head in his hand. “This is w-why we don’t leave my si-side.” The cold tone in his voice sent icicles into my chest letting each word chill my inner being. “I’m sorry, dear.” My own words came out as a mere whisper but he heard it, Toby grinned.

The male looked up at the other men staring down at us then burst out laughing. ”Hey, Tim? Ya k-know Randy has th-that dame?” Tim raised a brow but nodded. “Y-you guys look l-like her!” Tim seemed to understand it full well as he let out an offended gasp before chuckling. “Oh? Have you looked at yourself Tobias?” the said male poked out his tongue before pouting. “E-even after all th-this you still c-can’t address me pro-properly.” Looking at all of them I noticed all the marks decorating their skin; Brian had damp hair, no mask on his face showing his facial hair and knitted brows, his coat sleeve had a tear in it and he was covered head to toe in dirt as each part of his clothing seemed to stick to his figure. Tim had mud skid marks up his checkered vest, his mask wrapped by thread around his neck showing it to be slightly dented and dirtied, some blood dried on the corner of his lips as well as dried blood mixed with mud on his cheek just at a new formed cut and his trousers were torn with one leg rolled up more than the other. Finally, Toby had bruises on his face, his goggles resting on his head with a slight crack in one of the lenses, his mouth guard around his neck, a busted lip, blood crusting at his nose, a few leafs in his hair, his attire seemed to be fine other than a few patches of dirt and mud staining his clothes but I noticed a large tear in his trousers at his ankle. I looked down beside him to see his hatchet out next to his belt that has been cut. Brian noticed this as well meanwhile Tim was helping out from under Toby’s grasp to let me stand.  

“You were in the tree. Why?” Toby looked up at the fedora-wearing man as he sat back putting his weight into his arms. “Yep! A-after having a run in-in with s-some people from th-the past I escaped by-by climbing up that tree.” He pointed up to it, it still had many leaves covering its branches, before scratching his cheek. “My b-belt got twisted in a-a-a branch and w-well after you skimmed m-me with your signal shots I ha-had to hack my way to freedom!” I sent a scolding look to the male. “You couldn’t have killed him!” hood just looked at me before rolling his eyes. “You’re welcome for finding him.” He tipped his hat as he sarcastically remarked.

All four of us looked around before I turned to them sheepishly. “Do any of you know how to get out?” the men cursed in unison.
