"First of all…"
"First of all…what?" I waited for Toby to finish, but he didn't. So I opened the door to get in the car. There was a box of tees in the way, so I casually placed them in the backseat and got in the passenger's. Toby plopped himself in the car next to me and gave me a toothy grin.
"First of all, what!" I repeated. Toby jerked his head toward the backseat. I looked back there, but all I saw was the Tobuscus Tees. He nudged me, so I picked up the box and put it on my lap. I pulled one out – a purple lady's tee – and held it up in front of me. I had to do a double take. The front of the t-shirt had the Tobuscus font, but it didn't say Tobuscus. It said Bellybuscus.
"First of all, I'm making Bellybuscus a thing. I tweeted about it, made it a Facebook Fanpage, made a tab on my website for it, and now I'm selling those in my online store. That box is for you, though. One of every shirt and every sweater in each colour, in your size. You saved my life, Maddy. I'm not going to just let that go."
When we got to the restaurant, the greeter sat us at our adorable little two-person table. There was a velvety red table cloth hung over the table, and about a thousand sets of cutlery.
"Since Bellybuscus is a thing now, I've had tons of fans asking to see you. Will you start being in my lazyvlogs?" Toby looked even more amazing in this dim candlelight.
"Of course!" I said that way louder than I wanted to. "Whatever you want."
"No," Toby shook his head and opened his menu, "It's not whatever I want. It's whatever you want. I'm coming up with these suggestions because you're too nice to ask for anything. I have to use my knowledge of you to guess what may make you happy. You seem to be a fairly bubbly person, and you're definitely very fun to be around, so I thought you might enjoy being in my videos every once in a while. Or if you like, more than every once in a while."
"Well then. I would love to be in your lazyvlogs. And maybe you could squeeze me into the next few Cute Win Fails, and let me watch you when you're recording games for your gaming channel."
Toby gave me an adorable squeaky laugh and continued to flip the pages of the menu.
"Absolutely, babe. After all, I owe you one.".
