This Is My Home (eddsworld x reader) ONESHOTS

Free. (Tord - Reader x Tom)

This chapter wont necessarily be straight off into the lovey dovey stuff. I was listening to a song and I decided, "Why not make a bit of angst?"
Because I suppose people like that. So anygays, yeah, you pretty much get the point. Enjoy, I guess. :)
(There will be cheating, probably a panic attack, self isolation, and comfort from Tom.)

This was probably my last time trusting anyone. At least with my feelings. I had never liked someone as much as Tord. We had been together for years, and now it's just gone to absolute shit.

It was pretty much like every night. I was out late, working, and I was never home till around 2 AM. The only thing was that I was let off early, considering I hardly got enough damn sleep. I ended up going home, tired, and just wanting to y'know. Just lay down and cuddle with the man I wanted to have my heart forever. It was about... 11 PM when I got home. I didn't bother turning on my headlights as I parked the car in front of the house Edd, Matt, and Tom shared with Tord and I. I saw Tord's car here as well, so I gave a relieved sigh and got out, going inside. I gave my greetings to the two brunettes and the ginger before going up to Tord's room. My room had all of my stuff, but it was pretty much vacant of any life, considering I slept in Tord's room with him almost every night.

I opened the door, taking half a step inside before I stopped. My eyes widened as I stared at the scene in front of me. Tord had another girl pinned to the wall, hand up her dress. Her eyes widened as well, Tord looking over. Tord let go of her and gave a sheepish smile. "Y-Y/n, Kjære!" He said, going to me, about to hug me. I kneed him in the stomach. "Don't you dare, 'Dear' me after I walk in on this!" I yell, absolutely pissed. He held his stomach a bit, giving an inhale. "Tord, who's this...?" The girl asked, coming over, a hand rested on Tord's shoulder. "I'm his girlfriend!" I say, defensively.

The girl's eyes widen in shock and the lets go of Tord, covering her mouth. "Oh my God! I'm so sorry! He said he was single!" she said, apologizing. She quickly grabbed her stuff and left, giving Tord a hard stomp on the foot before doing so.

"So you're single now, huh?!" I yell, slamming the door as I backed him into the dresser. He shook his head quickly, hands up defensively. "N-No!"

"Then why the fuck are you bringing other girls into our room!? Is she the only one?!"

He bit his lip, unable to say anything. I gave a huff before socking him in the jaw. "Pack your bags and go find some other place to live. Im telling Edd. I'm not about to sit here and live with a fucking cheater." I growl and leave the room, slamming the door. I stomp off to my room, slamming my door, giving a loud yell, aggrivated.

For the next five to ten minutes I just cried and punched at a few things, settling on just sitting against the wall, crying. I had thought everything was going so well.
I jumped as I heard a small knock on the door. As a habit, I though it was Tord. "FUCK OFF!" I yelled, soon hearing a sigh. "It's me..." Tom muttered from behind the door. I cringed in regret and slowly unlocked the door, going back to how I was. He quietly came in and closed the door, sitting next to me. "So, uh... You... Okay..?" He asked hesitantly. I just held my head in my hands and he got the message. "Alright... What are you gonna do now..?" he asked. I gave a shrug, keeping my gaze down, eyes red and puffy.

He just looked to the ground a bit, hands fumbling inside of his hoodie pocket. "He's been doing this for a while." He spoke, causing me to look up at him. "I caught him once. I told him to stop, considering he was already with you. But he shoved me out. I didn't wanna just go to you saying he was cheating... You seemed so happy with him and I didn't want to upset you at all, but now I don't know if me telling you would've been worse than this, but I think it's good you know now... You don't have to be stuck in his toxic grip, y'know?"
He had brought his gaze to the ceiling a bit, but I'm sure he was side-eying me.
"So you... Did it to keep me safe?" I asked. He nodded a bit. I gave a confused look, fumbling over my words a bit before shaking my head. "Why?" I asked.

"Hm?"

"Why would you waste the time caring about me? I don't do anything for you..." I said. He gave a small exhale. "You do a lot for me. More than you think or know. Yeah, you buy me alcohol, but you also make sure I don't drink too much. You make sure I get to bed. Hell, I've caught you tucking me in like I'm a child..." He laughed a bit at the end.

My face heated up a bit and I looked away, biting the insides of my cheeks. "Sorry..." I muttered. He then stopped me. "No, no. Not 'sorry'. You make me feel like I'm worth the time to be cared for. My parents never really did it, considering they're... Y'know." He posed as an inanimate object before chuckling.
I laughed a bit. "You're either very baby-ish, or you're annoying when drunk. But either way, I sorta... Find it cute." I said, leaning my head back onto the wall, shifting my body to where I was curled up a bit, facing him. He chuckled a bit, his cheeks turning a small pink-ish color.

"Thank you." we both said at the same time, causing the two of us to burst into laughter. Once I settled down, I made a quick move, hugging him tightly. I felt like it was right. Once I was about to pull away, scared it had made him uncomfortable, he hugged back. His arms wrapped around me, making me feel safe. Thinking about it, Tord's embrace made me feel... Trapped. Unable to get out.
But Tom's?

It made me feel free.
