Choosing Between Them

Date Plans?

~Tobias's P.O.V.~

I woke up to an eerie silence in the house. Why is it so empty? As I get up and put on some random sweatpants I remember it's Saturday and that means Tera, my twin sister, Abigail, my three-year-old sister and my parents are all out doing things. Oh well maybe Dustin can come over and we can hang out. I grab my phone and head downstairs to the living room to watch TV. When the TV flickers on I immediately go to my favorite channel.

Nicktoons. It has the best Saturday morning cartoons. As I watch Fanboy and Chum chum my phone rings. It's Dustin. I smile brightly before answering. "Hey Dustin, what're you doing?" I ask casually trying not to give away that fact I want him right now in more ways than one especially when I hear his voice. "Nothing much laying in bed, talking to you the usual. I wanted to know if I could come over. I'm bored and lonely." I had to mute myself on the phone so I could calm down its as if he read my mind.

I unmutted the phone and spoke calmly. "Of course, I'll come round and pick you up." "I can walk there myself Toby." He says and I can practically hear his eyes roll. "But I have to keep princess Dustin safe." I say fake pouting though I know he can't see me. He huffs in defeat and yells, "Whatever, and I'm not a princess!" I can't help but laugh even after he hangs up. I run upstairs to get a shirt and begin walking to Dustin's house once I made it back downstairs.

I get to the familiar run down building that my precious Dustin is forced to call home. It was tiny and broken but I had only ever seen the outside. Dustin never let me in. But it's none of my business anyways. I come up to the house and knock on the door. I hear light stomping and it sounds rushed then the door is flung open and I see Dustin on the other side breathing like he had just run a marathon. I laugh a little at that.

He smiles and walks outside quickly pushing me away from his house after closing the door. Before I could say anything he hugs me tightly and pushes his face into my shoulder. I'm only slightly confused. He does this every time I walk him to my house and school. I pull away and hold his hand as we walk. "Hello to you too Dustin." I joke chuckling. He blushes and responds, "Hi Toby sorry about that, I just wanted to get out as quickly as possible."

I never understood why but whenever I pick him up he does this. He apologizes for hugging me. If only he knew how much I loved him. "No worries, anyway wanna go to the movies? We could go see Split. I know how much you want to see it." I ask changing the subject. "Oh! Can we please? I really want to see it." He asked excitedly as if I could even think about saying no. He's so cute I can't believe he doesn't notice. "Of course Dustin. You know I can't say no to such an adorable face." I say while pinching his cheeks and talking in a baby voice.

He pouts cutely before smacking my hands away and rubbing his cheeks. "Ow, Toby don't do that please." "Okay okay, I'll stop. For now" I joke and before we know it we're back at my house. We walked inside and I went to my room to get my wallet and keys. When I come back downstairs I see Dustin at the door talking to someone. I make it downstairs and smell a familiar scent. That b*tch! Dustin was talking to someone I was hoping to avoid at least this weekend. Michael. "So what're you doing here kitten?" He asked and I flipped out then and there.

"Why the fxck do you want to know you shxtty fxcker!?" I scream before grabbing Dustin's wrist lightly and pulling him behind me. "Calm down Toby he just asked a question." I take a deep breath but I'm still very angry. "How did you even get here?" I questioned the unwanted dog at my door. "I could smell Dustin so I came here. I thought it was his house since his scent is everywhere." I sneered, he's a pretty convincing liar but he forgot one thing. I don't care for his bullshxit.

"That's fine or at least it would be fine if we all hadn't walked to Dustin's house just yesterday." I snapped. His smile dropped before he smirked at me. "Hmm I must have forgot but now I remember." "Yeah whatever. Come on Dustin lets go." I say remembering why we came back here in the first place.

"Oh okay Toby." Dustin replied sweetly while smiling at me. We walked out the house and I locked the door. "Where're you two going?" Michael asked but I wasn't in the mood to answer him now or ever. But Dustin being his ever so sweet self answered him. "Toby's taking me to the movies to see Split." I couldn't help but smile at how cute Dustin was acting.

He always gets excited whenever I took him out to do something. It's so cute. "Well I wouldn't want to intrude on your little date. I'll be on my way, unless of course you want me to go." He's so annoying. "Of course." "No" Me and Dustin said at the same time. You can guess who said what. "Oh come on Toby it's not really a date plus he's our friend." Dustin says pouting adorably and gripping my arm.

"Yeah Toby it's not really a date can't I go too?" Fxck my life. "Fine but he's paying." And with that all three of us got in the car and we made our way to the movies. Dustin smiling brightly completely oblivious to the fact that it was intended to be a date and Michael smirking in the back seat.
