Our Place

You had been walking around outside for about twenty minutes now, rather unsure of where Toby was leading you. When finally you saw it, and it was beautiful. "When things g-get too hectic in the house a-and I want to be alone, t-this is my secret place," he said, motioning to a beautiful stream. It was a fast flowing, but had a few small, slow streams running off of it. There was a school of small fish swimming upstream, as you noticed the bushels of cattails. "Wow, Toby, this place is amazing," you said, taking in the view.
You two sat on a large rock in silence for about twenty minutes, just taking it all in. Then you decided to break the silence," I'm glad to have you back Toby. You have no idea how much I missed you." He looked down shyly mumbling,"I have no idea why you missed me." You put your hand under his chin and lifted it slightly so Toby's eyes were looking into yours. "Toby, you are the most amazing person I've ever met. You're smart, caring, protective, funny, and super cute," you said with a giggle. "I missed you because I felt so alone without you, you've always been there for me," you stopped and glanced over to see him smiling at you.
     Then he suddenly stood up and pulled outing of his axes. "One s-sec," he said as he went and stood behind the tree next to the rock you were sitting on. You heard many light thwack sounds coming from behind the tree. "Uhh, Toby, what are you doing," you asked, feeling a little uneasy. "O-okay, come here," Toby responded happily. He carved a heart into the tree and put T.E.R. + (your initials). "I r-read about it in a book o-once. I figured s-since you really like it here too, it should be our place i-instead of just my place," he said scratching the back of his head. You threw your arms around him and said,"thank you Toby, now I love this place even more."
     He put his arms around you protectively and held you there for a few moments. Then he took you hand again and started to lead you back towards the direction you came from. "S-so (y/n), how would you l-like to spend the rest of our day," he asked. "I don't know, what else do you guys do for fun," you asked. "Well, we c-can basically do whatever we w-want. Sometimes we go into t-town, we just have to dress a l-little more normally and k-keep any weapons concealed," he said, looking at you like he already knew what you wanted to do. "Are you thinking what I'm thinking," you asked with a smirk. "When am I not," Toby replied with a laugh.
