The entire goggle squad is touch starved in my hcs, so I can only imagine how much they'd love this 🥺🥺
Like, one cold winter mornjng, you'd just be vibin on the sofa, half-asleep, and Doby would just plop down next to you and reach out for cuddles. If you're not in the mood for cuddles, he understands, and just sits next to you to hang out and enjoy your company unless you want to be alone. But if you are in the mood, his face absolutely lights up and he grabs a blanket and wraps it around you two. A while later, Cody comes traipsing in and decides he wants in on the love. You and Doby of course invite him into the cuddle pile, but first, Cody decides something's missing. He heads to the kitchen and comes back about 15 minutes later with s'mores ingredients, hot drinks, kindling for a fire, and a movie for you guys to watch. He barely even has time to press play when Toby comes in from an early-morning mission from the Slenderman, tired and absolutely freezing. You and Cody, of course, immediately wrap the blanket (and yourselves) around Toby while Doby goes to get him some food and a drink. As soon as everyone's got their refreshments and Cody's hit play, Doby takes his rightful place in the cuddle pile. Hope you don't have any plans for today.

"C'mon! We're already late!"
"Okay, okay! I'm sorry!"
You roll your eyes as you're dragged by the wrist down the street by a boy with soft honey hair wearing a black and grey jacket. He drags you down a side street and lets go of you.
"I got em!" He calls to your two other friends. Two boys, both shorter than him. One of them has curly brown hair and is wearing a brown hoodie with striped sleeves along with ripped jeans. A bandana hangs around his neck and he has a bandaid on his cheek. He swings some orange goggles around his fingers as he looks up at you. The other boy has soft, chestnut hair and is wearing an old school uniform, short shorts and mismatched knee-socks. He also has a purple hoodie tied around his waist, and is wearing purple goggles over his eyes. He leans up off the wall and grins.
"Bout time!" The boy, Doby, chirps. "What took you so long?! You know Toby can't-’’ he stops to click his tongue three times. ‘’-stay in one place for too long!" He gestures to the other boy, who just waves a bit in greeting and smiles.
"Hi y/n."
‘’Hey Toby.’’
‘’Why’re you guys late?’’ Doby snaps, looking at the third boy, Cody, with a pout. He shrugs and scratches his face absentmindedly.
‘’I don’t know-’’
‘’Third base!’’
‘’-Ask y/n. They’re the one that got the wrong bus. I was just waiting at the stop for em.’’ he turns and looks at you. You smile sheepishly.
‘’Sorry guys…’’ you shrug. Doby huffs and puts his hands on his hips. You know he isn’t really mad, it’s just him playing around.
‘’It’s okay,’’ Toby pipes up. ‘’We were late too. Doby- bro!- was taking forever to do his makeup anyway.’’
‘’It’s called taking your time?’’ Doby rolls his eyes at his friend. His arm abruptly pulls back, his hand hitting his shoulder, before he points at his sparkly purple eyeshadow. ‘’Ya gotta look good, babes!’’
‘’We’re...literally just getting boba.’’ Cody murmurs.
‘’Yeah and I wanna impress the cute baristas!’’ Doby replies, tapping his wrists together a few times. Toby nods. You glance over at him and arch a brow.
‘’Are there any cute girls that work at the boba place?’’ you ask with a smirk. Toby blushes hard and glances away. He clicks his tongue a few times and claps his hands together in an eight-beat rhythm.
‘’...maybe…’’
Cody grins and wanders over to Toby, clamping a hand down on his shoulder, making the skinnier boy jump. ‘’Oooh, is my little man gonna ask a girl on a date?’’ he asks teasingly.
‘’Get- fucker- off!’’ Toby whines and swats at him. The three of you laugh at the poor red-faced boy and he shoves his hands in his pockets, muttering under his breath. Cody chuckles and walks past the other two.
‘’Well, c’mon you two. Can’t keep the baristas waiting!’’ he calls as he strolls down the street. Doby grins and follows after him. You fall behind them, walking beside Toby.
‘’So how’s life?’’ you ask, just to start conversation. He looks up in surprise, then smiles.
‘’Oh! It’s good!’’ he chirps. His shoulder jerks suddenly, but he ignores it. ‘’Me and Doby- bro!- went to see a movie last night.’’ he grins as he speaks. ‘’This really cool found footage movie? It was about a-’’ he stops to click his tongue a few times. ‘’First responder cop and it was all from their body cam! It was- woo!- so cool.’’ he grins wide.
‘’Sounds cool.’’ you reply with a smile.
‘’Yeah...Doby- bro!- didn’t like it much though. He said it was cheesy.’’
‘’It was!’’ Doby calls from in front of you. ‘’I don’t wanna watch something from a cop’s- runrunrun!- perspective!’’
Cody shrugs. ‘’Horror movies are kinda boring when you’re a murderer.’’ he muses. ‘’I’m more a sci-fi kinda guy.’’
‘’That surprises exactly no one.’’ you murmur. The other two boys laugh and Cody rolls his eyes.
‘’Alright then, what kinda movies do you like, huh?’’
You look at him for a long, long moment, then give him a smug grin. ‘’Good ones.’’ you reply. Doby laughs loudly in amusement.
‘’Can’t argue with that, huh?’’ he says with a grin. Cody shakes his head disapprovingly.
‘’So what about you? What’ve you been up to?’’ Toby asks, his neck twitching to the side.
You shrug. ‘’Ehh...nothing much. You guys are kinda the highlight of my week.’’
‘’Heck yeah I am!’’ Doby chirps. He flips his hair and grins at you. You laugh a bit at the boy’s overabundance of confidence. Doby has always been cocky- it’s just how he is, and you appreciate him for it.
"That's...a little sad." Cody murmurs. "The highlight of your week is hanging out with killers with a boba addiction?"
"I mean…" you shrug. "Could be worse I guess." Cody looks at you for a long moment, then smirks before breaking out into laughter. You grin. In all honesty...these three are your closest friends, and you kind of feel like...an outcast, with them. They've all been through a lot in life and they seem to get each other so well, so why they let you hang out with them and treat you like you're one of them is a mystery to you.
"Hey, y/n! Keep up!" You're pulled from your thoughts by Toby calling you. You somehow fell behind the group while thinking. They're all looking at you, waiting for you with friendly smiles. Toby runs up to you and takes your hand. His big green eyes meet yours and he smiles up at you. "C'mon bud. We’re waiting on you.’’ he says as he tugs your arm.
