What our future holds //tomtord//

Denying

The brunet laughed, is this a stupid joke? Does he think that he can persuade that dumb yet powerful guy?

"seriously Edd? I'm sorry but that won't work"

"but Tom! I am serious! Maybe Tord will hear us out and maybe-"

He punched his fist on the hard metal wall, making a loud noise occupying the hall

Edd stopped at what he's saying. Surprised that the brunet made sudden movements, he didn't meant to anger him. He was just desperate to be in peace again

But there's another way to get some peace that he wanted

And that's...Death

Edd exhaled and rubbed his left hand to his right arm, now looking defeat and gloomy. He glanced away from the brunet who has realised on what he had done

He looked at the wall, he made a dent on it. Tom bit his lips tightly and mustered a loud sigh

"I'm..sorry Edd, I didn't mean to burst like that-"

"you're right"

The sound of an hopeless man, now Tom felt guilty. Edd was speaking so lively and he ruined that moment, the brunet opened his mouth but quickly shutting it when words won't come out of it

Silence deathly fell upon them, now walking like strangers

"...I'm sorry Edd, I'm just...saying the truth, about The red leader and you know him. He will never agree with us or even help us. Peace is never his option"

"..."

Edd glance to Tom and then back to the ground, he didn't said anything but the brunet knows he's upset

Edd's upset because of him, his bestfriend who didn't supported his plan at all. It was silence for a minute. Tom tried to ignore his guilty feeling of making Edd so down

He observed his surroundings, trying to not notice the atmosphere they're building

"blue leader texted me yesterday that we'll probably land at dawn tomorrow, be ready for it. You can wake up early to help the other soldiers to pack things up or not, your choice"

"...I'll try if I'm not tired.."

Edd nodded as he watches the door being unlocked by Tom, as the door clicked in respond, the brunet looked back at Edd again as he entered the door frame thinking if he would apologise or not

"...do you guys have some spare clothes? I smell like shit"

Edd snickered at that statement lifting the harsh atmosphere that they've been walking around. Tom felt an accomplishment has been made but it's not quite completed

"there's a cabinet behind your bed, from now on, you won't be wearing those ridiculous uniforms that Tord made you wear. There's also a copy of your hoodie and pants, feel free to wear anything"

The brunet nodded, smiling lightly on the brit

"thanks Edd, I'll see you tomorrow"

"I'll see you too tomorrow Tom"

They waved at each other as they said their goodbyes, the brunet shuts the door as he sighed and plopped down to his bed. His body aches for some reason and his eyes are tired

I haven't even showered yet

Tom mumbled, groaning as he stood up. He made his way to the bathroom that's conveniently built there
