2 years later...

Tom and Tord have had arguments non-stop. It got to the point where Tom couldn't even sleep in the same bed.

Yet they love each other to much to let go.

Currently, Tord was working on some paperwork. He has officially conquered the entire world.

He felt stressed, tired. He even thought about picking up his razor and slashing his arm.

But, he didn't.
He slowly felt arms wrap around his waist, as Tom's head slowly laid on Tords shoulder.

"Let go of me." Tord spat as he signed his signature at the bottom of a piece of paperwork.

"Tord, look. I'm Sorry. I'm tired of fighting.. I just want you to love me again, just like before.." Tom whispered.

That caused Tord to drop his pen and hide his face with his hands.
"I, know."

Tom pressed a small kiss on Tords head.
Tord couldn't bare with this guilt anymore.

He has been lying to Tom for so long.
"Tom, I can't hide this from you no longer.." Tord began.

That made Tom confused. "What..?"
Tord broke down into tears as he slammed his robotic hand into the desk, causing the wood to crack a bit.

"I CAN'T DO THIS TO YOU ANYMORE!" Tord shouted as tears rolled down his face.

"Hon, what are you talking abo–.."
"–DON'T CALL ME THAT!" Tord shouted, cutting Tom off as he stood up from his desk.

He stressfully ran his fingers through his hair. He inhaled shakily as he broke down into tears.

"Tord, what's going on?.. we've been fighting for months..it's like you're hiding something from me." Tom says softly, yet inside he was breaking.

"Cause I am." Tord says as his voice cracked. He walked down the hallway to his room, his cape swaying as he did so.
Tom so oblivious and confused, he follows Tord.

"Go away." Tord says harshly. His back facing Tom.
"No! Tell me what you're hiding then." Tom retorted back, crossing his arms.

"I can't.." Tord lowered his head, tears rolling down his face.
"You're gonna hate me.."

Tom made his hands into fists. "NO! IM TIRED OF THIS! YOU'RE, YOU'RE..ALWAYS PICKING FIGHTS WITH ME! It's not even like... We're together anymore..it's like, back to where we started, as enemies."

"Exactly!" Tord raised his voice in agreement, turning around to face Tom.
"I KNEW OUR RELATIONSHIP WAS NOTHING! BECAUSE, WE-...you, you, can't love somebody so cruel like myself.."

Tord says bitterly. The words leaving his tongue left a sour flavor in his mouth as his heart was starting to break.

Tom raised his hands in the air. "IF YOU DIDN'T WORK WITH THIS ARMY WE WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN LIKE THIS!"

Tord lowered his head. Hot tears rolled down his face.
"Tom."

"..what." Tom says bluntly as he slowly lowered his arms.

Tord lifted his head. A smile on his face yet he was crying.

"I killed our friends."

Suddenly Tom felt confused.
"What..? But, no- No! NO! You didn't..they died, during the–"

"–No." Tord says quietly. "I used the memory erase gun on you, I killed Edd and Matt perviously in the auditorium...the "Edd" and "Matt" you saw, were clones..that I had been created by the Evil Director when they were on our side.."
