"I'm sorry":TomTord REMAKE

Chapter 1: Returning Forgiveness

Red leader stepped his brown combat boots as he walked in the hallway towards the auditorium.

He had to tell his father's and the rest of his soldiers about how he will leave the army base for a while.

He sighed long with a slight wheeze as he walked up to the stage; soldiers sitting properly in chairs.

Paul and Patryck sitting in the front row.

"Attention my Red Army.. as you may heard, I am leaving the facility for now. I have unfinished business to do out of town. I shall return sometime in the near future. My two father's; Paul and Patryck will be watching you - and being temporary leaders for you all. Have a pleasant evening. You're now dismissed."
He finishes his speech as he walked off the stage - immediately up to his father's.

The other soldiers leave the three alone, so they can have their own discussions.

"Tord, I can see the glum look in your eye. Are you sure you're okay?" Paul asked his son, setting a hand on his shoulder.
Concerned.

"Ja, I'm fine..dad. no worries. Please take care of the base well. I love you both." he gives a fake smile to the two as he hugged them.

"Farewell!"
He says as he walked away.

"Oh I hope he's okay.." patryck says.
"Me too.."Paul responded back, holding his husband's hand.

Tord walked around town. Keeping his red hood up; he didn't want other civilians to see his scars from that God awful day.

As tord walked, he noticed a group of three.

They were his old friends.
Were.

His eye widens, he didn't know how to react.
And they're heading HIS way.
Tord tucked quickly behind a building. His breath slightly shaky and wheezed out due to how much he smoked.

As they started to walk past Tord watched with caution.
He decided to follow them.

His real mission was to actually apologize to them in the first place.
So he didn't want to hide away.

He waited patiently for some distance before starting to follow them in a stealthy manner.

About ten minutes later, they arrived to an apartment complex. Tord watched as his three old friends went into one specific apartment.

Did they all share one?
Or are they just hanging out?

Tord thought for a moment before slowly walking up to the wooden door.

His breath started to hitch and quicken up, he felt nervous. He didn't know how they'll react. The anxiety was eating him alive - like the walls were begining to shut down on him and the world fading to black and lack of color.

he raised his healthy arm as he hesitantly knocked.
He chewed on the inside of his cheek to try to calm down his stress.

The door opened, and everything that tord that would go wrong, went wrong.
Instead of Edd opening the door like Tord wished for, Tom opened it.

"H-hallo..Tom." Tord mumbled, his throat felt dry and crackly.
Toms anger begins to boil as Edd and Matt appeared at the doorway.

"Why, are you here. What the hell do you want."Tom demanded harshly.
"U-uh.."

"Spit out Commie, I thought you were dead."
"W-well i-i mean..-"

The anxiety was eating inside him.
He didn't know what to say.
His head was getting extremely fuzzy. He could barely stand, his eyes blurred as tears filled them.

"I-im..-", Tord couldn't finish, due to the lightheadedness; he fainted. Edd gasped as he quickly caught Tords unconscious body.

"Tord..?"Edd asked softly as he looked worriedly down at the fainted red hooded male.

"We'll have to bring him inside so he can explain what he wants.."Edd says to the other two.

Matt nods as Tom groans in annoyance as Edd brought Tord inside of the apartment.

Tom slammed the door as Edd placed Tord on the couch.
His red hood remaining on his head.

"I don't fucking get it Edd, why did you bring commie back in here?! Did you forget what the fuck he did to us?!"
Edd sighs and looks at Tom.

"I know Tom, but I just want to listen to him for a moment!"

Tom huffs as he opened his flask, drinking what remained inside of it.

Tord slowly opened his eyes as he slowly glanced over at the three with the eye he can see with.

"U-uh.."
"Oh hi Tord.. you're, awake." Edd says softly as he glanced over. Matt looked over as well, but mostly confused on who exactly tord is.
Tom groans. "Okay, now the hentai shit is awake - can he explain why he's ON OUR COUCH?"

Edd ignored Tom as he looked at Tord.
Tord looked down as he avoided eye contact with his old friend.
"I'm sorry Edd.. Matt, and T-tom.. I c-came back to apologize.. I-i..-" his voice cracked as tears filled his eyes.
Edd gave a slight smile as he hugged Tord gently.

"Hey, friends always give second chances right?"
"Mhm.."
Tord mumbles as he sniffles through is emotional state.

"Then you're forgiven Tord."
"Yeah! I forgive you Todd!" Matt says, interrupting the two.

"Tord.." the red hooded male responded, correcting Matt.

"Well I don't accept that stupid apology from commie."Tom stubbornly says.

Edd clears his throat. "Well Tom, you better get use to his presence again...he's going to live in your apartment. I don't have the space and Matt..well, y'know."

Tom raised his arms in the air, shouting in anger; "ARE YOU SERIOUS?! I JUST TOLD YOU I DON'T FORGIVE HIM! AND NOW HE HAS TO STAY WITH ME?!"

Edd nods. "Yes Tom, that's exactly it. Now stop being so rude, maybe you'll get along for once."

Tom huffs as he lowers his arms.
"Whatever..fine." he grumbles.
"C'mon Commie,..or I'll kick you to the curb."

Tord lifts up his head and glanced at Edd.
Edd gave a reassuring smile and made a glance over to Tom.

Nervousness builds up in Tords nerve system as he stands up; a slight wobble.

He takes a deep breath as he follows Tom out to his apartment.

"I'm sorry.." Tord whispered as Tom opened the apartment door.
