Emboldened Red (TordTom)

Fuckin Commie.

 <Tom's POV>

It's been two years since I shot that jackass out of the sky. Do I regret it? Kinda.. I guess. But he deserved it. Edd and Matt kept saying 'i had a crush on him' well, not anymore. That bitch is dead. Blown up, Okay? By me.

I heard a knock at the door while I was playing Susan and if I'm honest, I wasn't going to answer it. But then Edd yelled, "Hey Tom? Can you answer that?" After giving off a groan of annoyance I lied Susan down on my bed, coming out of my room.

I headed to the door and just swung it open, I had my eyes closed when I said, "Hey, we didn't order anything." As soon as I opened my eyes, my blood boiled. "What. The. Fuck." I gave off a smug grin, "Sorry. Your grave is over there. We don't take zombies here."

I was so pissed I didn't even give him the chance to answer before I slammed the door in his face.

<3rd Person>

The Blue comrade stormed off to his room, leaving Edd and Matt confused. "Uh. Who was it?" The green comrade asked quizzically. His blue friend looked over his shoulder and waved slightly, "If he's still there, go ahead and look."

Confused, the friendly male went over to the door, only to be surprised to see the male behind it. "T-Tord?" The male that stood in the doorway was burned on one side of his face. His right eye was hidden behind an eyepatch, being as the same side of his horrendous scar. His neck was covered in bandages, obviously hiding more burns. The eye that was uncovered looked like a hazel-red. His skin was a pale white, sweat forming above his brow. His caramel colored hair was styled in the shape of two horns.

The shorter male was obviously nervous, continuously looking at the ground. "I uh.. I just came to say sorry.. I'm not looking for forgiveness.." The shorter male started rubbing the back of his neck before pulling his hand away with a wince, "Tom doesn't forgive me obviously.. I just uhh.. I can leave.."

The friendly green male stood in shock before he felt even his own blood boil. "You fucking traitor!" Leaving the shorter male to look down in shame, "I know.. I only came to say sorry. I'll leave you alo-" before he could finish his statement, Matt shoved Edd aside and gave the smaller boy a gentle hug, "Todd! You're back!"

The younger male was taken aback by Matt's sudden happiness, pushing him off. "Matt.. I- I betrayed you guys.. I hit you. Why do you-" Before the boy in red could finish(jeez, people so rude. Keep cuttin people off) Matt pointed at Tord's right side of his face, "We're even." The ginger smiled softly before turning to Edd, who had just noticed Tord's state.

Edd was to blinded by anger to notice how bad Tord looked. "Tord.. Is that.. What the explosion did?" Edd said slowly. The Norski took a step back when Edd reached his hand out to touch the Norski's burn. The smaller male gave a small nod to the friendly male.

"A-anyway. I came to say sorry. I'll leave now." The Norski said slowly. "No! I want to hang out with you!" Matt shouted, grabbing Tord by the arm and pulling him inside the shared home. He felt the hardness of the arm he grabbed and looked at Tord with confusion. The Norski quickly understanding and pulling his arm away.

Tord wore black gloves over both of his hands, "Uhh. I-It's fine.. Tom and Edd don't want me here. I don't belong here anymore." The ginger looked at his in surprise, "Well if they don't want you here, I'll hang out with you outside the house. Lets go." Grabbing the Norski by his wrist, he pulled Tord out of the house and down the streets. "So, Where to?"

The Norski let himself get drug with a shocked expression. "M-Matt.. Why?" The ginger stopped, "Tord, I might've erased my memories but I can still remember things. I know when you genuinely feel bad.. I know that you're telling me the truth. You've obviously learned your lesson and have gone through a lot. When I called you my friend forever, I meant it."

Tord was taken aback by Matt's sudden words. "Now. Lets go somewhere fun!" The Ginger continued to pull the smaller male along the sidewalk. "Where are we going that's fun?" The ginger seemed to think for a moment, "Well Tom always says the bar is fun. Lets go there!"

The smaller male seemed to cringe, "Uhh. Matt.. I don't think that place is actually fun..." The ginger ignored the Norski's uncomfort and continued the way to the bar. As soon as they got there, Tord knew this was a mistake. The Norski wasn't good with keeping liquor down. The ginger pulled him over to the stools and sat him down, sitting next to Tord.

"So, what do you want to drink?" Matt said innocently. Tord stared at Matt, trying to figure out what this man was thinking. "I don't drink." The Norski said plainly. Matt looked at him and smiled slightly, "Just a little? I want to catch up." The Norwegian gave in and smiled softly, "I- guess.. Just a little."

Matt practically jumped out of his seat, "Two martini's please!" This man might seem dumb and a narcissist but he had a plan. He would get Tord drunk and he would HAVE to stay the night at the house. Edd couldn't turn away someone incoherent. He wanted his friend to get forgiven.

After a couple drinks and a lot of laughs, they talked about how Tord was and what he had been up to. They also talked about how life was at the house. Tord was completely wasted by the time 8 pm rolled around.(which we'll say is like an hr after they got there) Matt hadn't drunken as much as Tord so he could get them both home.

Matt slung drunken Tord's human arm over his shoulder while Tord slurred out Norwegian words. Matt knocked on the door of the shared home to be greeted with the face of Tom, "What." Matt smiled innocently, "I didn't know Tord couldn't handle a couple drinks before I took him to the bar. So he's gonna need to stay here. He can use my room and I'll sleep on the couch."

"Wait wha-" Before Tom could protest, Matt pushed past him and drug poor Tord to his room, stopping to talk to Edd about the whole ordeal. Tord slid off Matt shoulder and fell to the floor, grabbing onto Edd's trousers to pull himself up. He put his hands on Edd's shoulders and looked Edd in the eyes. "Edd? Is *hic* Is that you?"

Edd could smell the alcohol on the Norwegian and scrunched his nose, "Uh. Yeah." The Norski wrapped his arms around the taller male and hugged him, "I missed *hic* you... I'm sorry *hic* I'm such an asshole."

Edd was taken aback by the smaller boy's affection and hugged him back. He looked up at Matt, "Has he been like this all day?" The ginger crossed his arms and nodded at Edd, "Yeah, pretty much. He really feels bad about the whole 'betrayal' thing."

The friendly male looked down at his apologetic drunken friend and smiled. "Maybe I could forgive him.." He hugged his friend tightly and helped Matt with the process of moving him. "Are you sure you want his to sleep in your room?"

Matt nodded, "The spare room doesn't have a bed in it yet. And I don't want Tom beating him up on the couch." The friendly male nodded his head in agreement. They pulled Tord into the room and were surprised with the Norski's rash actions.

The Norski, took his shoes off and took his eyepatch off, revealing his grey and dilated eye. He then shouted, "It's hot!!" proceeding to take his hoodie off and showing his fake arm. Edd and Matt stood in disbelief of what they were seeing.

"T-Tord? What happened?" The green comrade asked slowly, touching the cold metal. After a few hiccups the Norwegian responded, "The explosion *hic* ripped up my arm pretty bad.. So it *hic* wouldn't work anymore.. I built myself *hic* a robotic one." He ended his statement with a drunken giggle.

The two friends heard footsteps receding away from Tord's door, then the shutting of Tom's door.
