Tobi is a brilliant man. He changed all my clothes to maid, bunny, and waitress outfits. This time they were more provocative but I can handle that. He's still cute in a Lolita way that makes me want to hug him. Surprisingly this is after knowing that he kills and tortures something I just don't know what.
We ate cupcakes for breakfast and planned out our day. We'll be going to the farmer's market today. That'll be fun. I always like going to those markets. Naruto and Sasuke never have the patience to go but I like to. With Tobi it should be fun since I can imagine him looking at everything.
I turned to him with a sweat drop. "Do you have any normal clothes I can wear?" I asked motioning toward the bunny costume he gave me. Tobi looked at me with an innocent smile.
"You don't need to change. Sakura, I think you're pretty in what you're wearing." He told me causing me to glare. I couldn't believe some of the stuff people put me through. Still I find it cute that he likes making me dress up so much. It's flattering to say the least.
We walked to the farmer's market. Tobi did have another costume I could wear but I'm not sure if it's better. Me in pigtails with farm girl clothing and boots… did not inspire confidence. By the way, Tobi lives in Texas. Sure people are stereotyped to look like cowboys and ride horses but no, Texas is the state of fashion. I learned this from several people who quickly realized that I'm from Washington State.
We walked from booth to booth looking at the different fruits and vegetables while sampling. It was a whole bunch of fun being there with him! He was dressed up in shorts and a short sleeved t-shirt with tennis shoes. Surprisingly he looked like a middle school kid rather than the college student he was. It made me wonder why he lives here when he goes to such a boring state college in a completely different part of the country.
My answer was one word. "Heat." Tobi growled angrily. He glared at the sun and then turned to me with a smile. I soon learned what that smile meant. 'Sakura buy me what I want and I'll love you and never torture you!' I went ahead and bought us both a coke then went onto the next thing.
We bought a whole bunch of strawberries which I later found out that they were for the strawberry shortcakes we'd be having for dinner. He then bought us ten tubs of vanilla ice cream from the store next door. For some reason everyone seemed scared of Tobi, and most of the time we got an insane deal on anything we wanted when people saw him.
Later I found out that his nickname around here is 'The Baby Faced Killer' even the cops know better than to mess with him. I smiled to myself and tried not to think too much about this. I love Tobi. I really do in a friend way, but I'm scared too. Way too scared to take him to jail. He'd torture me and kill me in one look. It'd feel like forever though.
"Did you sleep well last night?" Tobi asked with an incredibly dark look. I eyed him suspiciously because I had nightmares last night about several people who died horrible deaths all having to do with some revenge driven cat. Scary, I know.
One girl slit her throat and then the cat ate all the meat on her in the front yard. A man had pushed two kids out the window then died making the cat eat his meat too. After that the old woman who had told everyone to lock up the cat and never let her out, well she died but I think it was of natural causes.
Makes no sense, just like dreams normally don't, but it scared me. Probably because my dreams were way too graphic for my taste, but oh well. "I had a bad dream but I slept fine." I replied with a casual smile not sure if this was the right thing to say. No offense to Tobi but I think I'll die if I stay here for too long. Still I only have a day left.
A week passes by fast when all innocent things are being ruined by Tobi. So sad. But oh well, I can deal. A cop car drove us home. I was half tempted to tell the cop about Tobi's illegal crap all over the house with the human flesh I had caught sight of in his room. To my horror flashes of my dream prompted me to immediately stop thinking such thoughts. It's not worth the risk.
"I love you Saku-chan." Tobi informed me sweetly. I smiled and helped carry the grocery bags.
"I like you too." I said knowing I can't say love just yet. Sure you can consider it love since I didn't turn him in, but I think that was more fear for my safety. I could see myself loving him though, which is good. "We should do this again sometime!"
He turned to me with wide eyes and then blushed with a soft look on his face. "Yeah, you're really fun, especially because you don't run away." He said seriously. I looked at his sad little face and kissed his cheek.
"I love you Tobi." I said knowing I had just argued my points saying I couldn't or didn't love him, but this is before I knew. When he said that and looked so sad, I knew that people don't play or talk with him often. It sounds like people avoid him. I hugged the boy tightly in my arms.
"Does that mean I win?" He asked with a smirk.
"No." I replied darkly and let him go before helping him with our dinner/lunch of strawberry shortcake. Cute but deadly, describes him perfectly.
