In Our Nightmares | TordTom

Chapter 36

Tord's POV

My eyes fluttered open and I let out a yawn as I turned over. I pulled the blanket closer to me and closed my eyes again. I was comfortable and warm, I didn't want to get up. I hugged the second pillow there was on the bed. I ended up getting lost in thought

I was too lost in thought to even hear Tom open the door, I jumped from my thoughts when I heard my name "Tord, you up?" I opened my eyes and turned over to look at him

"Yea.. What is it?" I ask as I sat up, I rubbed the tiredness from my eyes

Tom's gaze traveled to my torso for a second before he looked back at my face "Uh- Come eat" Tom said

I hummed and slid out of bed "Coming" I said and grabbed my hoodie and pulling it on

Tom walked away from the room and went to the kitchen, I assumed that's where he went. I looked at the camera and grabbed it putting it into my hoodie pocket before leaving my room to go see Tom in the kitchen. He sat at the table eating a bowl of cereal, across from him sat a plate of bacon

I walked over "Mornin' Thomas" I said and took a seat at the table

"Morning" Tom said "That plate is for you"

"Oh well thank you" I said and grabbed a strip and eating it

"No problem" Tom said

I picked up a strip and gazed at Tom, I gave one to him "You can have one since you were kind enough to make me some"

Tom blushed a bit "Oh- No no, it's fine. Keep it Tord"

"I insist" I said

Tom sighed "Fine" He said then took the piece and began nibbling it

I smiled and resisted the urge to awe. He looked quite cute. I started eating my plate, which I finished in not long "Thanks for cooking the bacon for me Thomas. It was good" I said with a soft smile

Tom hummed, he still had a small piece he was nibbling on, which might I add, is adorable "No problem" He said

"Do you know what we are gonna do today?" I ask

"Well no, not really" Tom said "We're probably gonna go back to the arcade somebody time today"

I hummed "Alright" I said before getting up and washing my plate. I'll just ask them later tonight to watch the tape with me. I turn back to look at Tom "Do you wanna do anything 'til then?" I ask

"Um.." Tom paused to think, his cheeks flushed a bit, only going pink "Would you like to go on a, um... Date,, with me..?" Tom voice gradually got quieter as he spoke, his cheeks getting redder

I blinked and blushed "Are you serious?" I ask surprised

Tom nodded slowly and looked away "I am.." He looked so embarrassed

"A date as what?" I ask after a bref moment of silence between us

"Uh, what do you wanna go as?" Tom asked "We can go as friends if that's what you want.." He sounded sorta disappointed when he said that

I thought about it, no I didn't, I just spoke whatever "I'd like to go as a date" I said

Tom looked up at me "Really?" He asked with hopefulness in his voice

I smiled and nodded "Yea" I said "I'll go on a date with you Thomas"

Tom smiled and got up coming over to me and he hug me. I chuckled and hugged him back "Imma go get ready!" Tom said pulling away before running off to his room

I smiled, he was just so adorable. I looked at myself and went off to my new room to see if there was any clothes I could wear that would fit. I looked through the dresser and found a red t-shirt. I pulled off my hoodie before sliding on the shirt, it fit, it did hug my torso but it wasn't tight. I set my hoodie on the bed and went over to the closet, opening it

There were a few jackets hung up in there, they were either black, red, indigo blue or a blue that was near the same colour as my uniform. I grabbed the black trench coat that was in there. I wore that back in high school, I wonder if it still fits. I pulled it over my shoulders, it looked to fit, I mean it also felt like it did

I noticed the back wasn't as long as it was before, the back went to the middle of my thighs, before it went passed my knees. I've grown since then, damn. I looked around and saw a body length mirror in the closet. I pulled it out and leaned it against the wall. I looked at myself. I think I look alright. Deciding I'll just wear this I left my room

I left the room and went down to the living room to wait for Tom only to find him standing by the door waiting for me. He wore a long sleeve blue shirt, the sleeves being pulled up to his elbows. On his right wrist he had a checkered wristband, and on the other he had two black ring bracelets. He had an exited look on his face, his eyes shining

He looked so damn cute I was unreal. Wait, was he real? Is this real? Is all of this real? Is it actually happening? No Tord stop that. It can't be fake. It just can't be. Can it..? I mean why would Tom want to go out with me? He hates me. But I want him to love me. Maybe this is just a cruel nightmare made to last long before destroying everything that happened

I pushed the thoughts away for now and walked over to Tom "Shall we go?" I ask holding out my hand

Tom chuckled and blushed a bit "We shall" He said putting his hand into mine

I smiled and open the door, letting him out first

I can't believe I'm going on a date with Tom
