Tom has been living in England all his life and it has never been terribly dangerous. Will that change now that he meets his new roommate Tord?
------------------
Has he killed anyone every since he's come to this dreary country? No, not yet, but h...
———- Tord looked down at the note and candy. After reading the note, he walked into his room.
He locked his door and left the candy on his bed and the note on his desk. Tord sat in his chair and looked around.
He had some unpacking to do and secrets to make. He sighed and lazed dramatically in the chair until it tipped over and he fell. The crash was loud enough to alert Tom.
Tom knocked on the door and asked,"Hey! Are you okay?"
Not wanting his roommate to panic, he scrambled to his feet and opened the door.
"No! I mean yes! I-", he words cut off.
His eyes widen and his mouth dropped a little. He stared at the eye he never forgot. Tom was surprised to see him too.
He was nervous, shifting from one foot to the other. Tom looked a way.
——— I can't believe this.... He was right here... the whole time..... I could study him.... Right now.... I even know his name! His name.... I can call him by his name!
Tord smiled, flashing his pearly white teeth. Tom had almost forgotten about why he was there.
"Oh yeah...uh... are you okay? I heard a crash...", said Tom
Tord seemed to brighten, "I'm fine! I falling down is all. No hurting anywhere."
Tom tried to relax; Tord doesn't seem to have a negative reaction to him and is still friendly.
"Well... that's good, uh, I...", Tom tried to remember his name.
"T-Tord!", he finished.
Tord tilted his head and spoke Tom's name, "Tom!", he smiled.
Tom began to sweat more. He had no clue what to do, he didn't know the guy he ran into would be living with him.
Eventually, Tord decided to let Tom into his room. Tom wanted to decline but figured getting along with the strange man would be a good idea.
Walking into the room, Tom observed the mess Tord has yet to clean up.
"Uh, you need any help?", asked Tom.
"No, I clean later. Sit sit!", said Tord.
Not really seeing any chairs right side up, Tom sat on Tord's bed. Tom was unaware of how much this made Tord happy.
Tord picked up the chair and sat in it. He did not lean back this time, only forward to give Tom all of his attention.
