Solar Eclipse [A TomTord Story]

Ch 1- It's not like anybody cares that I do this to myself... Right?

(art does not belong to me)

<[7:30 am_Tuesday]>

*beep beep beep* "uuuuuuggghhhhhhhh....." *SLAM*

<[10_minutes_later]>

*poke poke*

"5 more minutes...." I groaned.

"No Tord. Edd's making breakfast and if you don't come down, your food is mine."

I swatted at the air blindly attempting to hit him but to no avail. "You better not witness or I swear."

"Then get your lazy ass down here," he said as he walked out of my room, slamming the door behind him.

"uuugh... fine." I dramatically groaned getting out of bed, rubbing my eyes and sitting on the edge of my bed. I stared blankly at the scattered piles of clothes in my room...

Man my room's a mess... should I clean it today? Nah, don't care enough.

...and pulled on a pair of dark grey jeans with my classic red hoodie. I went downstairs to see Edd at the stove cooking up some bacon. My mouth watered as I sat down at the dining room table next to Matt.

"Morning Tord, what do you want for breakfast? The usual?" Edd asked

"Yeah, thanks Edd." I rested my chin on my palm as we waited for him to finish up, my mouth is still watering at the scent filling up the house.

Edd turned around and grabbed a plate of bacon, toast, and scrambled eggs and sat it on the table in front of me, similar plates being set in front of Tom, Matt and soon to be where Edd would sit. He then grabbed a Cola from the fridge and sat down, popping it open while everybody else dug in. Matt decided to speak up first,

"So what do you guys wanna do today? I was thinking that we could go to the mall and go on a shopping spree! I could use some new mirrors for my room."

"Matt, we just went there a few days ago. We're still broke from the last time we went on a shopping spree." Tom replied with a snarky tone. It went silent again. The occasional scraping of forks on their plates were the only things filling the silence.

"Did you guys hear about the event going on later today? Apparently there's going to be a solar eclipse." I said, breaking the almost non-existant tension.

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot about that! It's been awhile since the four of us did something together, why don't we go and get some glasses so we can watch it." Edd chipped in cheerfully.

"As long as Commie and I don't have to share a pair then that's fine by me." Tom said, a bit of annoyance in his voice.

'Damn, moody much?'

"Why Jehovah? Don't want to get Cooties or something?" I smirked.

"What are you four years old? Cooties don't exist you idiot."

"Smart-ass."

"Dumb-ass."

"Can you two stop fighting for 5 freaking minutes?!" Edd said.

Tom rolled his 'eyes'. "When Tord stops turning everything I say into some sort of kink or fetish, sure i'd be happy to." He replied sarcastically.

"Hey! I don't do that!"

"Yeah you do! Own up to your shit commie!"

"Ugh. At least I don't reek of alcohol all the damn time unlike a certain somebody." I mumbled loud enough for him to hear.
