~TicciWork~ (Ticci Toby x Clockwork)

-Chapter 4- Finding BEN.

{ Clockwork's POV }

I saw as BEN started to run outside. What's his problem..?

Toby looked at the door, "I wonder why he ran like that.."

I squeezed my giraffe for comfort.

"Me too.."

That Night

***

{ Clockwork's POV }

It was night time, and BEN was still not home. I figured that he would just go and come back after he'd cool off, but he didn't. I have to go check on him, but not alone. I don't want to risk it.

I went to Toby and EJ's room and knocked. Eyeless Jack came to the door.

"Hello? Oh, hi, Clocky."

"Hey, Jack. Is Toby in? I need to talk to him.."

"Wait a minute or two, he's taking a shower."

"Oh." I said, blushing.

"Yeah.." He said, suddenly making our conversation awkward.

"I'll wait out here, just- just call me when he's done."

EJ nodded and closed the door. I leaned against the wall, thinking about BEN and Toby.

Did BEN really like me?

Is he okay?

Did he get hurt?

I had to know.

After a couple minutes, Toby opened the door, without any mouth guard or goggles.

'Oh my gosh.. He is so cute.. He is sooo cute...'

I thought to myself, my cheeks getting flushed pink.

Man, I really can't control my blush around this guy..

I look weak blushing. Humph.

"You wanted me?"

"O-oh.. Yeah.." I almost forgot why I was here.. My blush disappeared, "I- um- BEN is missing. He's been gone for awhile, and I think he may need our help. I would go alone, but I don't want to risk it. If something there caught BEN, I could surely get caught or killed, too." I said, speaking formally.

Toby's smile shrank a bit as he looked to the ground.

"Well, I guess I could help.." He looked up at me with a blushing smile, "I wouldn't want you getting hurt."

I smiled, "Then we should get going."

Toby went inside and got his goggles and mouthguard. His goggles was put on his forehead. We both started walking outside, talking about BEN.

"I.. I'm beginning to think it's my fault he ran away.." I said, slowly.

Toby put a hand on my shoulder.

"Clocky, it is not your fault. I swear. If it's anyone's fault, it's mine."

I looked up at him with a smile..

"Thanks." I said, dreamily. When I heard BEN's voice, I snapped out of it.

"I told you! See?!" He yelled, "You.. You love Toby! You are just going to leave me for Toby, aren't you?!"

"Um." I said, awkwardly and blushing like crazy. "What the hell are you talking about..? I don't 'love' Toby." I said, walking closer to BEN, "He's just a friend."

Toby was awkwardly standing there, blushing a bit, and looking at bit sad. He decided to speak up, "So.. That's all I am to you? Just a friend? Really? Just a friend?!" I saw the anger growing in both of them, "You dragged me all the way out her, just to make me watch you kiss-up to BEN?!"

"No, no!" I said, switching to Toby, "Toby, your my best friend. Why would I do that? I came here just to make sure BEN wasn't in trouble."

"What?! You weren't going to confess that you love me?!" BEN said, actually surprised that I didn't say that.

"What..? No, I don't love you, your my friend." I said, staring at him, "Both of you are."

"Of course.." BEN said, staring down.

Toby stared at me and sighed, walking to me. He held my hands and looked straight into my eyes. "Clockwork.. I love you.. Okay? I'm sorry, but, I just do.."

I blushed crazy.

BEN came up to me and tapped on my shoulder. I turned around, Toby was annoyed.

"Clockwork.. I love you." BEN said.

I blushed more.

Toby looked at me,

"So.. Who is it? Who do you love?"

My blush grew. I looked at BEN, then at Toby.

"I.."
