Tim/Masky x reader! Seeing his face for the first time :)
It had been a few months of you living in the mansion with everyone. You were mainly paired with Tim for most of your tasks/ missions and today was no different. You’d noticed something about Tim.. you’d never actually seen his face. You got along quite well with him and you imagined you were quite close to him (well as close as he’d let you) and you were actually starting to like Tim, his voice, his mannerisms, his personality, even his hair which sometimes hung over his mask, adding strings of colour to its monochrome design. There was so much you found fascinating about him but the most peculiar thing that you found was that he never took his mask of Infront of you, in fact you can’t remember him having it off at all, was he scared? Ugly? Scarred? Insecure? So many questioned flooded your mind but you were too nervous to ask.
You were on a mission with Tim, a quick run by an abandoned building not too far from the mansion. Slender had sensed that zalgos proxies had been lurking around there and he wanted you two to check it out. You both stumbled into the building. Your eyes were fixated on Tim- watching as his hands flexed towards his weapon anytime an unfamiliar creek or noise echoed within the structure. You held onto one of your knives, keeping yourself on guard. Every now and then as you passed through the infrastructure of the house you would try and catch a glance at Tim. It was strange when you looked at him, you can hardly tell his expression or what he’s feeling- you hated that- you just wished he’d let you in, let you be part of his life enough to show you what he’s feeling. It felt like he knew you better than you knew him. He could see what you were feeling- he could tell what emotion draped across your face and he could tell what you were thinking by just looking into your eyes. And you absolutely envied that you couldn’t do this to him.
A floorboard shrieked from upstairs and Tim stopped in his tracks, lifting his arm to stop you from walking. You froze. A inhuman noise screeched from above the stairs, in response you grabbed Tim’s arm and he turned to look at you, you shook your head, a silent ‘no.’ Whatever was up those stairs was likely put there by Zalgo and you did not want to find out what it was. Tim let his shoulders drop, and he shook his head in agreement. As you both attempted to creep back to the entrance, a voice caught you off guard “going so soon?” One of Zalgos proxies loomed in a doorway behind you, Without hesitation Tim grabbed your wrist and rushed to the door, pulling you both outside. When loud crashing and screeching flooded your ears from behind Tim’s grasp on your wrist tightened, although you couldn’t tell what he was thinking or feeling, this simple action reassured you he was not willing to loose you. Catching on you quickened your pace, following him. “We need to fucking hide!” He called trying to make sense of the situation. “We can’t lead that thing back home.” Home, funny thing, this is the first time you’d ever heard him call the mansion home. You agreed and followed him, rushing through the forest, manic laughter following you not far behind. Tim grabbed you to hide behind a row of trees, he shoved his back against the bark and pulled you backwards into him, placing his hand over your mouth in a futile attempt to quiet your breathing. Somehow he knew about your anxiety, and i guess this was his way of trying to help bury any chance of a panic attack. A few moments of deafening silence filled the forest before a hang grabbed onto tim and flung him out into the open. Upon getting grabbed he dropped his hand and yelled for you to run, but without hesitation you reached for one of your knives and threw it- aiming for whatever sick fuck was chasing you both. You were trained for situations like this. Jeff had taught you most of what you know now and without him youd probably not be able to win a fight. The proxy dropped backwards groaning in pain, your knife lodged in his throat. Tim took his chance. In a swift motion he grabbed his gun and shot out 3 bullets towards the proxy before charging for you, pulling your wrist once more and darting further into the woods. After what felt like an eternity of running you spotted something in the distance. “Here!!” You called pointing at another old building. It appeared to be some sort of cabin, you both ran until you reached the entrance, Tim rushed you inside and slammed the door behind him, finding a chair and blocking the door. You could tell he was angry at you for not following his orders and running- but a part of him was grateful for you saving his ass.
You let yourself drop against a wall panting for breath. You turned to Tim, his arms were pressed against the door holding him upright. He wasn’t wearing his jacket due to the heat, instead he wore his plaited red shirt, rolled to the forearms. He pulled the mask from his face and threw it on the floor, gasping, trying to regain oxygen in his lungs. “fuck” he murmured. You stared at him. His hair was grazing over parts of his face so his eyes weren’t fully visible to you; you could make out the colour of his eyes though, they were a blend of coffee and almonds, though they were accompanied with slight eye bags. A natural reaction to lack of sleep and stress. His sideburns draped almost perfectly down his face, shaping his structure. “Holy shit” the words escaped your mouth before you could even think, your speech was still breathy and shaky trying to rebalance your respiratory system. Tim turned his head to face you before lifting a hand and pushing the hair from his face, “what?” He began “are they here?” He questioned presuming you were looking out the window to your left. “Youre fucking beautiful” you were now not thinking at all, your mind was just frozen on his face, you were tracing every inch of his face engraving it in your brain he was like a piece of art that you never wanted to forget. You swear you could see the corners of his mouth flicker upwards before he ducked his head back down towards the floor, hiding whatever expression he was letting escape
“Not exactly the best timing for this” his voice is flat, once again hiding any emotions he may be feeling. You’re about to apologise but he speaks again, “thank you though” you were smiling now, a big stupid smile and for a few moments you just stand there. You examine him and his body. You watch as his chest moves up and down as he breathes and you watch his eyes dart away nervously whenever he grew the courage to look at you. After a few minutes of no noise or action from outside you approach him. He drops his right arm, allowing you to step in front of him, your back almost touching the door. “Seriously though” you start, taking your right hand and tilting Tim’s face towards yours. At first you see his cheeks redden as blood rushes to his face, his behaviour startled you. You were use to tim being more confident and in charge- you’d never seen his shy or embarrassed side before. Was he flustered? your eyes began flicking between every inch of his face- taking in the features of the man you were falling for all over again. “Fucking hell dude” you manage to say, tracing your hand along his jawline. His breath hitches and his face slightly jolts. His eyes frantically meet yours. You were about to stop but to your surprise his eyes softened and his breath steadied so you continued, brushing your fingers over his sideburns before reaching his hair, you pause for another moment but he lowered his head slightly, forcing your fingers into his hair. You begin to brush your hand through his hair enjoying the softness of it, before bringing your fingers down to his neck, following the flow of his hair then trailing them down to the base of his neck. Goosebumps began to form upon his skin beneath your touch and you became so bewildered at this new power you held over him. Sure he was stronger, more confident, more assertive and sure he could beat you and most others at nearly anything, but only you could make him buckle beneath your touch, only you could temporarily melt away his fears with just the stroke of your fingers. He looks at you, his eyes now pleading for your touch, begging for your affection. He’d always been so intimidating, so dominate, so assertive. But here, within your reach, he’d melted into someone touch-starved and small. It hurt slightly knowing this was all an effect to his trauma, but you felt hopeful to help him in any way you could. His eyes lock with yours and you feel yourself become heavy, your knees feel like they’re giving way and your heart starts racing.
Tim takes your right hand again and brings it back up to his face as you lift your left hand and hold it on his shoulder mainly to better hold yourself upright. “I think you’re fucking beautiful too” he says, his flat tone now gone, instead a more emotive tone hummed in your ears. He brings a shaky hand to your face and starts slowly tracing your features copying your touch back to you, trailing to your lips and brushing his thumb over your bottom lip. He moved closer, tilting his head and planting a kiss upon your lips. For a moment you were startled, but you soon melted and kissed him back. His left hand remained on your face whilst his right hand pulled you closer by your waist. You pulled away from the kiss, Tim’s eyes met yours, he looked sad about the absence of your lips on his but his expression soon fades as you pulled him in and hugged him. A hug that actually ment something. A hug that was designed for comfort. You gripped him hard and refused to let go. Your face was nestled over his shirt but still in the crook of his neck. “Thank you” he began, holding on to you, wanting the hug to last forever. His words replayed in your mind. But before you could reply a loud call came from the woods. The thing was close. “Shit we’ve got to go.” He turned to search for another exit. You bent down to pick up his mask and you held it out to him. He placed it over his face and you couldn’t help but feel relatively saddened by the loss of his features.
“Thanks”
“no problem, now Tim let’s go I really don’t want to die right now.”
