Y/n's POV
"Y/n you can't step on the cracks!"
"BEN, we're on a marble floor, what cracks are there?"
"The line thingies, you know what I'm talking about."
We just arrived at the mall and BEN was already being dumb, not that he wasn't on the way here though.
"Only someone with pebbled sized feet would be able to do this."
"You have pebbled sized feet."
"My ass! I'm a size eight."
"Whatever, let's go Game Stop!"
"If I go with you will you stop nagging me?!"
"I'll consider it."
"...fine."
Clockwork told us where she'd be and BEN dragged me to Game Stop.
"Hey which game should I buy?"
BEN pointed to two games. I looked up for two seconds and pointed to a random game before scrolling back on my phone. BEN noticed and gave a glare.
"Y/n~ help me pick a game~" BEN whined out. I gave him a glare due to the attention he was drawing, and he only gave a cheesy smile. I sighed and put my phone down. He clasped his hands together and started talking again.

"Don't you dare say it."
"Why."
"Cause I know you don't mean it."
"Oh well I'll say it anyways."
"Don't-"
"Thank you~"
I gave him a glare and sighed."
"You know what you can do to show your gratefullness towards me?"
"Nope, and I don't wanna know either."
"Too bad, it's my turn to drag you around."
'Wait-"
"Nope!"
I grabbed his wrist and started running, this time not minding anyone's stares. BEN was complaining constantly as I dragged him. We got up the escalator and walked some more.
"First lets get something to drink."
"Fine but I want to pick your drink."
"If I get to pick yours?"
"Deal."
Short Timeskip
"How did we manage getting the same thing?"
"I tried to get something you liked."
"Oh..." You went silent.
"You wanted to get something I didn't like right?"
"Maybe."
"You're such an ass."
"Whatever, let's go put outfits on you."
We walked around for a bit before stopping at (store of choice.)
"Three outfits, that's it."
"Fine." You sighed out.
"I'm going to put you in green and black because it's weird seeing you in any other color."
"Go ahead."
Time Skip (I couldn't find anything good for him, sorry!)
"That was the most exhausting thing I've ever done."
"Yeah, I'm going to go find Clocky, you going somewhere?"
"Where is she?"
"Uh, second floor at Hollister, why?"
"I'll be on the top floor then."
We both got on the elevator and set the bags down. I got a few things from the store we went to while BEN complained about wanting to go home and play his new game. I leaned my head on the elevator walls.
"Hey Y/n when is your birthday?"
"(Birthday), why do you ask?"
"That's tomorrow."
"Oh is it, I didn't even notice, heh."
"What are you going to do?"
"Nothing."
"Well that sucks."
"Yeah."
It went silent for a while.
"You're so boring~"
"Because I don't want to celebrate my birthday? Ouch that hurtedededed."
"That and because you don't pick up on social ques, that hurtedededed me."
"Tough luck, oh look the elevator opened, catch ya later!"
I left the elevator quite fast, not leaving any time for BEN to answer. In all honesty I knew that, I just wanted to avoid it completely. I didn't even like the thought of thinking about it. I remember the last time I celebrated my birthday. It was over a decade ago. What was supposed to day a happy day ended up being the worst memory I've ever had.
"Hey Y/n!"
"Hm? Oh hi."
"You seem stressed, you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine. Just BEN being annoying."
We both walked to a store.
"You should dye your hair."
"I'll pass. My hair is healthy and I don't want to damage it."
"Yeah yeah whatever, ooh look at this."
Time Skip
I stumbled onto my bed and fell face forward, letting my bags drop to the ground. My head pounded in pain, causing me to get up and take two pain killers. I sat on my bed bored. I picked the Bath&Body works bag off the floor. Inside was a bottle of perfume and two bath bombs I thought smelled extremely nice. When was the last time I even had a bath?
"Huh, I don't think I've ever had one before."
I looked at it for a good minute, taking in all the colors.
"I'll have one before I go to sleep." I decided. I got up and decided on going downstairs to eat something. Just as I was about to leave the room when...
"Where's Moon?"
I immediately retreated and started looking around. In the little room that had most his stuff.
"Not there, where the hell did he go?"
I thought for a while.
"A while ago Masky stole my cat, maybe he stole him again?"
I doubt that he did, but it's worth a shot I guess.
I made my way to his door and knocked.
"Fido did you steal my cat again?" I yelled from behind the store. Someone, which I assume to be Masky, got up and opened the door.
"I didn't fucking steal it, he invited himself in."
"What the fuck give my cat back, dogs and cats are supposed to fight."
"Call me a dog again."
"What are you gonna do, bark at me?" I said while holding in a laugh.
"You little-"
"Well thanks for returning my cat, I'll see you around I guess, Bye Fido!"
"Stop calling me that!"
I skipped to my room with my cat next to me. I left him in the room and went to go get a snack.
"Now what to eat..."
"So I heard tomorrow's your birthday."
"HOLY SHIT-"
"Scared ya?"
"How the hell did you find out?"
"BEN." Toby said as he jumped on the counter and sat on it.
"That son of a bitch." I muttered.
"So what are you going to do?"
"Nothing."
"W-why not?"
"I just don't see the point of it."
"T-too bad. W-we're doing something"
"Have fun trying to convincing me then."
"I-I will." He said in the distance as I walked away.
I walked up the stairs and noticed it was already dark.
"Well that was quick."

I walked out the bathroom, my hair still wet. I put my clothes in my hamper, making a mental note to wash them tomorrow. I took my painting supplies out along with my phone and earbuds. Now what to paint? Something simple. A sunflower? Nah, that's been overdone. What about... New York's Skyline? Nah that takes too much effort.
After too much thinking, I decided to take a walk outside to calm down the headache I had. I put a random hoodie on and jumped out my window. I was able to see fine outside so I didn't bother using my phone as a flashlight.
I walked around for a bit, paying attention to every little sound. Eventually I heard a sound that seemed as if a human was making. I sneaked my way over to the area, making sure I wasn't noticeable. There was a boy, sitting on a log holding a pocket knife.Have I heard of this situation before? Maybe. Oh, he's also holding a paper and a lighter. that's odd.
He opened his mouth to say something, first letting out a shaky breath.
"W-well after t-this I might just become one of Slender's Proxies."
I let out a loud audible laugh.
"W-who's t-there?"
I came out from my hiding spot.
"*Laughter* Sorry for...laughing. I didn't mean to. Honest."
"Who... Who are you."
"You should do your research before wanting to become a proxy you know."
"..."
"The name is Nightmare."
"Wait, You're one of Slender's Proxies?!"
"Yes, now what makes you think you have what it takes to become a proxy?"
"..."
"You're willing to give your soul, your life to him? You're ready to leave your home behind?"
"I-"
He went to grab the pocket knife but noticed it wasn't there. He looked back up to you and noticed it was pointed directly at him.
"I can kill you right now. In very gruesome ways. What are you going to do about it?"
"P-please St-sto-"
"What the hell are you doing?"
I looked back to where the voice was coming from.
"Oh hey Fido. I'm not doing much. You-"
"I-is that Masky?"
"Ah, fanboy I see."
"Yeah, wanna do the honors?"
"Wait-"
"Yeah sure."
I tossed the knife toward him and sat farther away. The boy seemed to be paralysed in fear. Masky killed him quickly, and I sat behind him reading the note he wrote. Hmph, nothing too special, just talking about how he wants to give his life to Slender and some baby pictures.
"Welp, time to burn these."
I took the lighter and set them on fire, accidently burning my finger a bit in the process.
"Ouch."
"You had one job and couldn't even do that."
"No~ this was voluntary."
"Your so dumb."
I pout in response. Masky went to go dump the body in the water and I laid on the ground tired.
"Maybe if I just rest... my... eyes a little."
