Ticci-Toby\Mom Reader Headcanons

There is no doubt that Toby is a sad and lonely character, which is why having some kind of emotional support is so important to him.

He isn't used to being doted on and truly cared for; he's kind of forgotten what that feels like. Lyra used to take care of him, but that was over four years ago. Before he was taken to this garbage dump he calls a "home" and surrounded by all kinds of crude and atrocious individuals.

You had to get to know him first, as he doesn't open up to anyone immediately. But once you got him to take his walls down around you, once you allowed him to vent, once you held him as he sobbed for the first time, he knew he could trust you with anything.

Toby's mom wasn't anything special, in fact, she was far from it, so growing up the only mother figure he had was his older sister, and she tried but it just wasn't enough.

Toby is so, so thankful to have you in his life. It gives him a sense of security knowing you're around, and he'd put his life in your hands without hesitance and hopes you'd do the same. He wants you to know that he won't ever let anything bad happen to you and that you have earned his loyalty completely. No matter what, he has your back, as you have his.

Ben Drowned\Mom Reader Headcanons

Ben is generally pretty content with his life, and that shows through in his personality. But if there's one thing he misses about his past, it's his mother.

Every time he mentions her, he speaks fondly, voicing his memories of how good of a mom she really was. And you remind him a lot of her.

The soft tone of voice, the gentle touch, the sincere and sweet way you handle things - it all hits close to home. Because of this, he has formed a kind of bond with you that he doesn't have with another single person in the household.

He appreciates it when you try to take care of him yet always teases you about being so "overly concerned" and "nice" all of the time. A common nickname and inside joke between the two of you actually involves you calling him your son and him calling you "Mom" (yes it confused people at first, but they eventually accepted it as you guys just being weird).

You always make sure he has everything he needs, and have taken it upon yourself to learn his birthday so he can get a card and gift every year since no one else cares about it. And on every Mother's Day, you open your door and find a bouquet of flowers waiting for you, with a note that has but a simple smiley face on it that says, "With love, your son".
