Tom slammed the front door behind him, clothes drenched from the harsh rain, and smelling strongly of alcohol.

"I'm home."

Edd gasped. He ran to Tom in a panic, grabbing the soggy boy's shoulders harshly. "Oh my god we're been trying to call you for hours! where were you?!"

Tom pushed Edd away. "Out." he said coldly before pushing past him, and drunkenly staggering towards his room.

Matt then ran in front of his drunk friend. "Tom! We were so worried! We thought you were kidnapped!" He said, his face full of concern.

Gross.

Tom rolled his eyes. "Well I'm—!" he paused, shaking his head. "I'm fine. Just needed a drink."

"Of course you did." A familiar voice said in a sarcastic tone.

Tom frowned at the norsk, flipping him the bird before attempting to stagger off again. He then turned back to Tord, watching him raise a brow. "What? Needed to forget again? Did wittle bitty Tommy feel feewings again? Uh oh! Is he gonna cry?" He teased in a joking manner.

Tom braced himself against the wall, shaking his head violently. "I did but it's nine of your goddamn business! Leave me the fuck alone you bastard!" He exclaimed, screaming at the man in front of him.

"Tom what the fuck?!" Tord gasped in a panic.

Tom then paused. He looked around. Tord was in the living room on the couch, eyeing Tom, as Edd stood in the kitchen, doing the same. He then looked in front of him, seeing a shaken up and sniffling Matt.

Oh no.

Matt ran outside to Edd's car, tears streaming down his cheeks. Tom gasped, running after him. "Matt! Wait n-no! I didn't—!" he winced as he ran into the counter. "I thought you were Tord!"

"That still doesn't give you the right to be a jerk!" Edd screamed. "I'm done with your bullshit! You need to fix whatever problems you have! You're being such a bitch!" He then grabbed his coat and ran after Matt, before the two sped off in Edd's car.

Tom stood, stunned. Edd had never blown up at him like this before. Ever.

He fucked up.

But he could've sworn Tord was there! Was he hallucinating?

Oh god if he was...

Tord then walked into the kitchen. "That was...something." He remarked. "You've blown up at me, even Edd. But Matt? That's..."

"I know..." Tom mumbled. "God what the hell do I do now?" He breathed harshly, before sitting down at the island and resting his head on the counter. "Jehovah kill me now."

Tord chuckled. "Drink more. Your liver will give out."

"Drinking would not solve my problems right now..."

Tord grabbed a glass of water, and slid it over to Tom. "So...what will?"

Tom eyed the Norsk. "Why're you being..."

"Nice? Because believe it or not, I think I can help you. Better yet, I think we can help each other."

<><><><><><><><><><><><><>

"So..."

"My b-birthmom showed up, and was like..."

"Kinda abusive? Like with yelling and stuff?"

"And now I'm turning into her. It's just like she said..." Tom sniffled, burying his head in his arms as he shook violently. "I'm h-hurting people I care about and I don't want too...I just got so mad..." He sniffled, wiping stray tears that fell from his eyes as Tord rubbed his arm gently.

"I know, and it's okay. We all get mad."

"I made him cry."

"You didn't mean too!"

"He doesn't know that! And I'm a h-horrible person..."

"You're not."

"Don't say that. I'm awful. A m-mean and rude and I'm a good-for-nothing-!"

The sound of the front door opening interrupted Tom, and he watched as Edd and Matt walked into the house awkwardly.

"Now's your chance!" Tord whispered.

Tom nodded, before running into Matt's arms. "I'M SORRYY!!!!" He cried as he squeezed the ginger. He looked up at Matt, who watched Tom with wide eyes. "I didn't mean to make you c-cry an' be a dick to you...I'll try t-to be better I'm just so fucken-..." he sniffled. "I'm so fucking sorry..."

Matt hugged Tom tightly. "It's okay, you just surprised me!" He pulled away, still keeping his hands on Tom's shoulders. "Your aunt called and told us that your mom showed up while you were at their place, and she said some not nice things."

Tom looked to the ground in shame. "I shouldn't have taken it out on you..." He breathed deeply. "I wanna make it up to you."

Matt gasped. "OH MY GOD YES I CAN FINALLY GIVE YOU THAT MAKEOVER!" He squealed before dragging Tom to his room.

Tom gave Tord a thumbs up, and Tord mirrored the gesture, a warm smile on his face.

"I saw that smile." Edd snickered.

Tord raised his brow. "What? Me being nice?"

"Have you even told him that you like him? Or even asked him out yet?"

Tord quieted. "I still don't know how he feels. I feel like we connected tonight but..." he sighed. "I don't ever know what he's really thinking..."

Edd sighed. "You're gonna have to tell him someday."

Tord groaned. "No. I'd rather die."

Edd snickered, before smiling. "Hey, how's you get Tom to apologize? What did you say?"

"I kinda just let him vent a bit? I just let him talk, and I listened. I don't really know why he decided to opened up now." He sighed. "He's hard to read."

Edd pat Tord's shoulder gently. "You'll figure it out. Tom will too."

Tord nodded. "We'll be okay."
