°Late Valentines Day°

Edd walked into his dorm, struggling a bit with his hands full holding a cardboard box filled with who knows what. "Tord, can you give me a hand?" He asked as he fixed the box's position and tried to get a better grip on it, only to drop it on the floor. He groaned and looked at the couch where Tord would usually be, but he was nowhere to be seen. That's weird, he's usually on the couch doing nothing, he isn't very outgoing but that wasn't something he was gonna judge him for. He left the box in front of the open door and decided to look for Tord. He walked to his room and just walked in without knocking.

Yeah he really cares about Tord's privacy.

When he walked in, all he saw was a big lump inside of a blanket on top of Tord's bed. "Tord?" The red male uncovered himself from the blanket and looked at Edd. "What?" "What're you doing?" Tord sighed and sat up. "I hate Valentine's Day." Edd stared at Tord with a non impressed look. "I know, you've made it pretty clear." Let's say Tord did a few questionable actions with the decorations at their university.

"I mean I hate hate it Edd. It's pointless! Why can't people just love each other everyday or confess whenever the feel like it, why does it really have to be a holiday?" Edd sighed, he knew nothing would convince him that Valentine's Day isn't as bad as he was making it out to be. "Come on, I need your help carrying my valentines stuff." Edd saw Tord's face drop, an annoyed face now being shown. "Ha ha, real funny. Close my door on your way out." He said and went back underneath his blankets. Edd decided to just leave him alone and let him be upset once again for this holiday. There wasn't anything he could do, every time he tries it just makes him hate the holiday even more.

Edd shut his door and was about to walk back to get the box, only to look on the counter and see the box there and Matt right next to it. "Sorry," Matt started. "I saw it there and thought I'd bring it inside." He said with his charming smile that got Edd every time. "Matt, that was supposed to be a surprise for you.." The cola man said as he walked towards the ginger and Matt wrapped his arms around him, as if it was out of instinct. "Yeah, my roommate Tom hates Christmas just as much so I understand, except Christmas is a bigger holiday." Just then Edd got an idea, causing him to pull away from the taller ginger.

"What if we get those two together? They're kinda similar and kind of different so it's perfect!" Matt smiled and fixed his posture. "Sounds like a plan."

Next thing you know, those two were hanging out quiet often. From talking every now and then, to talking basically everywhere they went. They've known each other for about a year but never really hung out or talked until now. It's been a week now and Valentines was coming up and for the first time, Tord was actually excited. Those times he was hanging out with Tom he grew feelings, so he thought if Tom felt the same, then maybe he'd have a valentine this year. Not that he wants to have one of course, it's just a stupid holiday. But it'll still be nice to have one.

"Hey Tom!" Tord greeted as he walked up to Tom in the halls. "Hey." Tom replied with a smile that made Tord's heart melt. "Uh, haha Happy Valentine's Day." Tord chuckled trying not to make it awkward as his face grew red. Tom giggled seeing Tord's face red for no known reason. "I thought you hated Valentines Day." "Well yeah, I do but I think this year might be different." The two began walking together. "Oh?" Tom said with a raised eyebrow. Tord smiled softly and tried not to smile so big. "Do you plan on getting someone a Valentine?" It was silent for a moment before Tom replied. "No, there's no one I have in mind to give it to." This broke Tord's heart a bit. He was really looking forward to finally- you know what never mind. 'Valentine was always stupid. I don't know why I actually wanted a Valentine. What was I thinking?' Tord thought to himself, not knowing that tears were already formed in his eyes until Tom pointed them out. "Tord? Are you okay?" Tord then pushed Tom away and ran straight by him.

Worst. Valentines. Ever.

There's gonna be a part 2 but this is all I got so far, happy late Valentine's Day! <3
