"It's..."
"...you"
~~♠♣♥♦~~
"Are you sure you don't want me to come in with you?" Hiria questioned
We were outside Toby's address right now, in Hiria's inconspicuous car she bought for this occasion.
"I'm fine. Really. I'll message you to pick me up when I want you to, or I can just call an uber" I mention
"Oh hell no, you actually think I'd let you into someone elses car? I'm picking you up" Hiria states
I nod and a small smile appears on my face.
"Well, bye Hiria" I say, getting out of the car, closing the door behind me
"Bye Darling~" Hiria purrs, kissing the bridge of my nose before she drives off
I blinked a few times at her action. She's been kissing me a lot lately. And it's starting to get stranger and stranger. After I finally snap out of it, I then walk to the front door of Toby's house.
"As I remember it from all those years ago..." I mutter
The house didn't change at all... Though, it just looked a tad bit older...
Once I got to the doorstep, I proceed to go and knock on the door.
And after a few moments... A woman opens the door.
It was Toby's mother.
I was surprised that she didn't look that different from when I last saw her six or seven years ago.
"Oh..! Uhmm... Hello..!" She says "How can I help you?"
"Uhmm... Mrs. Smith. It's me... Y/N. Do you possibly remember me?" I asked
Her face looked puzzled for a few moments, but then after a few more seconds, her eyes widen and she steps back in shock. Hands covering her mouth.
"Y/N..?" She managed to stutter out
I smiled and nodded.
She then rushes to me and embraces me into a hug.
"Y-you... Y-you're back..! H-how..? W-why..? T-this is amazing... To see you back..! Toby will love to see you again..!" She says
"Y-Yeah. Actually, that's why I'm here. I sent over a letter a while ago and we managed to get into contact again. And we arranged to meet up.." I say
"Oh my.. I'm so happy to see you again... It's go great to see you..." She says "You look so pretty..!"
"Oh stop, I'm not all that" I say
"You are one of the beautifulest young ladies I've seen in a long time" She comments
I chuckle "well, thanks for the complement. You still look as lovely as ever"
"Oh... thank you..!" She smiled brightly "Do you wish for me to get Toby? Or would you rather go see him?"
"I want a little shock value from him, so if you could.... It would really be appreciated" I say with a smile
"Mhhmm! You can go wait in the living room if you'd like, I'll go grab him right now" She says, walking upstairs
I then walk into the house, closing the door behind me. The house decor was slightly different from what I last remember, but it still feels like the same old house I remember being at every day or night I could get.
I take a right and walked into the living room. Cozy as I remember.
Wow. I remember me and Toby always playing minecraft in here. I would bring over my xbox and we'd play multiplayer on minecraft for hours.... We both pretty much sucked at the damn game back then, but we were creative and still had fun.
I sat on the couch and waited for Mrs. Smith to bring Toby down.
You know... I wonder what he looks like.... What he sounds like.... What he is like....
Time changes people. But... Even sometimes with time.... People don't change much at all.
I mean. I'm not that different, I've just been lying more to people.
Then, I heard distant voices.
"What's the surprise mom? Do we have a new family pet or something? haha..!" I heard a younger male voice ask
"Oh, no, no, no. Nothing like that. I'd say it's even better than that..!" I heard Mrs. Smith tell the other
Is... Is that Toby..?
"Now if you turn here...." I heard Mrs. Smith trail off "Toby..! You remember Y/N, right?"
I then finally turned to meet Toby's figure and upon seeing him, my eyes widen.
No...
This can't be...
Toby is.....
Tubbo?!??!
"Y/N..?" Toby questioned, eyes widened as well
I blinked for a few moments, still trying to process the information.
Tubbo-- is my childhood friend Toby.
The- the signs were all there....! They were literally all there..! The timing, the name, family, personality.... They were all there..!!!
I decided to shake off the thought for the mean time. I can deal with that fact later.
Standing up, I walked over to him and forced a smile on my face.
"...It's nice to see you again. Toby" I say
He then pulls me into a hug and I hesitantly hug back. He then pulls me closer, laying and digging his face into my shoulder.
"I-It's actually you..." I could barely hear his muffled voice
"Yeah... It's me..." I say
I then notice Mrs. Smith pull out her phone and take a picture, lucky she didn't have the flash on. But she just gives me a quick thumbs up and mouths 'i'll leave you two be' before walking to the kitchen.
After a few moments longer, we pulled away from our hug and we decided to chill and sit on the couch.
"I... I still can't believe you're actually here..! Honestly... I didn't think I was ever going to see you again..!" Toby says
"Haha... same! It's honestly a shock" I say
It sure was a shock me finding out that Toby and Tubbo are the same damn person.
"So- uhhh... H-how have you been? How's your new place? Is your family doing okay?" He questions
"I've been pretty decent. My new place we settled into is really great too. It's peaceful and quiet when it can be... And, uhh.... My family? They're doing pretty well..!" I say "What about you?"
"About the same to be honest...!" He replies
Oh my god. I really don't want to be here...
"Sooo..... What have you been doing lately?" I question
"What do you mean?" He questions
"I mean- do you- like- do anything on social media? You always liked the idea of creating videos when we were younger" I say
"O-oh..! u-uhmm... W-well... Yeah, actually... Hahah.... funny enough, I started a twich a while ago.." He says, cheeks tinting
"Oh really?" I say
"Haha... Yeah. What about you?" He asks
"Uhhh.... Well.... Something like that..." I murmur
"Oh? really? Well, maybe we should do a video or stream together at some point! It would be fun..!" He brings up
"I-I mean... It- uhmm..." I trailed off
How the hell am I suppose to tell him he's already streamed a lot with me??
"Are you not up to the idea..?" He questions
"No, no... It's not that... It's just... Well, we are just meeting again. And- uhmm... Well... I just want to try and... uhhh... well... how do I say this..." I mutter, trying to find the words to put into a sentence "...Let's just wait a while before that. I feel like we should get to know eachother a lot better before all that..."
"Oh!, Yeah, yeah! Understandable..!" He says "Okay then. How about 20 questions?"
"Uhhhhh--- How about you show me around the house?? It's been a while since I've been here..." I say, trying to avoid that horrible game
"...Okay? Uhh, follow me then..!" He says, standing up and he began to walk away
I followed behind him quietly.
So Tubbo is actually Toby... My childhood friend...
You know... This is making my head hurt.
I've known the guy for basically about 3 months now... And now I'm finding out he's actually my childhood friend...
The one person I actually...
...
..
.
Just wait.
"Just wait..." I mutter to myself
"Hmm? What was that?" He questioned, turning around to face me
I made my eyes look up to stare into his captivating blue ones. They were so pretty to look at....
"Hmm? It was nothing" I replied "How about you show me your room? It's been a while since I've seen it"
I noticed his cheeks tint a little as he turns away from me, walking forwards.
"Y-yeah, yeah. Follow along..." He says
I followed him down a few hallways and then he opens the door to his bedroom. It looked a little different from all those years ago, but it still seemed like the cozy room we use to always go to and hang out in.
As we entered, I closed the door behind us and looked at his set up.
"Tubbo" I bluntly said
I noticed him freeze up upon hearing the name. He then proceeds to turn around.
"H-huh?" He stuttered
Oh shit- I didn't mean to say that out loud... Oh well, let's just go with it...
"...That's what you go by online, dummy" I say
"You know...?" He questioned
"I've watched your channel long enough to know" I mentioned
"You've watched me before we even met...!?" He exclaimed
I nodded and smiled "Yeah. Since you started actually... I always enjoyed your streams quite a bit... And to find out that we knew eachother since we were young... It's still processing in my brain"
"O-oh...!" He blushes a little more "U-uhmm... Now that you know about me... What about you? What do you do? Stream? Youtube?"
"A little bit of both..." I say
"Tell me what your accounts name is! I wanna follow and subscribe..!" He says
"Hey, hey. Find out on your own accord or wait" I say
"B-but- that's so mean..! You know about me..!" He whines
"That's because I watched your content before. Now, you're smart enough to find out what my twitch is..." I say, booping his nose "I believe you can find it"
I then walk over to his bed and sat down on the mattress.
"It's either you find it, or you wait until I tell you" I say "simple as that"
He blushes even more and looks away from me.
"I don't know if the new you is someone I like or not..." He mutters
I crack a smile.
"Well, you'll have to deal with the new me if we want to keep hanging out... hehe..." I chuckle
I glanced more around his room and then I finally realized something.
"Hey, aren't you suppose to stream today? Like- in a few hours?" I questioned
"O-oh...! U-umm... Yeah... I almost forgot actually..." He murmured
"Well, I shouldn't stay that long then... I'll leave when you stream" I say
"Actually- how about you join me? I know you said you wanted to wait... But it would be fun..! I'm doing a media share stream today and half the time my chat isn't that funny" He mentioned
"Hmmm, interesting though.... I mean- I wouldn't mind...." I say
"Cool..! Haha..!" He chuckled
"Oh- and. Don't think people can tell you what my channels are. Because no one really knows what I look like" I mention
"Ohh? A faceless content creator??" He questions
"Oh- yeah- faceless. Faceless to everyone who doesn't know" I say
"Is this going to be you first face stream?" He questioned
"Uhh, technically, yes..." I say
"Technically?" He questions
"Uhhhh, anyways... You doing a stream on the Dream SMP?" I question
"Yeah" he replied "Just going to be going around while the media shares play"
"A laugh you lose?" I say
He nods his head. "I just hope the chat actually is funny this time around..."
"I mean- at times they are..." I say
"I guess--" Toby was cut off by a notification that went off on his phone, picking it up he looks at it and smiles
"Ohhh? What's going on there?" I question
"U-uhhh, nothing really" He then tucked his phone away into his back pocket
I shrugged it off and decided to go on my phone to see a post from U/N--- which I assume is Hiria because bloody hell- she knows all my account details.
Typo is in the damn tweet, but that is something U/N would do...
"What are you looking at?" Toby questioned
"nOtHiNg rEaLlY" I mocked him
"Oh- wow- okay-" He laughed
"But- uhhh... Just saw a post from this content creator U/N. She's streaming at eight" I tell him
Why is Hiria going to impersonate as me anyways..?
"Oh...? You watch U/N too?" He asks
"...Yeah, she's pretty good. But you're still my favorite streamer" I say simply
"O-oh... U-uhmm... Thanks... Good to know...!" He chuckles nervously, scratching the back of his neck
I didn't look at his face since my attention was on my phone, but I could tell he was slightly more nervous.
