Narrator's P.o.v

— So...can i come in? — Edd says

— ...The door is unlocked...

— Oh... — Edd opens the door slowly

Tom sighs heavily while rubbing his tears away

Edd also sighs and sits next to Tom on his bed

— So...

....

— I get it man... —  Edd pets his head

Tom just keeps rubbing his eyes

— ....You're still not comfortable crying in front of us, are you...?

Tom nods "yes"

— Lump in the throat?

Tom nods "yes" again

Edd sighs, hugging Tom

Tom tries to keep it together

— Tom...you won't get better if you don't let those feelings out, cry, dude... you're allowed to cry...

....

Tom grabs the back of Edd's hoodie

— I-I'm sorry man...

— There's nothing to be sorry for...

— It's that i...already cried too much today...i feel like i can't stop...

— ...I get it...

— And well...i can't really hold it back when i get a hug...

— Hehe...i gathered that...

Tom sniffles

— You know you can cry, dude...i don't really mind staying here to give you emotional support, that's what friends are for isn't it...? To be there in the good times and the bad times — Edd splits up the hug

— Y-Yeah...thanks for everything...and sorry if i was rude back there in the sofa...i was trying not to demonstrate any weakness...i think you could tell...much more so now that you know how much of a disaster i am at dealing with feelings... — Tom saying in a shaky voice, rubbing his face

— Well...like i said...i've always had a feeling you were kinda emotional...like...when you were mad, i had the feeling you were kinda sad inside...but...masking it with anger...

— Sometime i cry when i'm angry....

— Oh, makes sense...

— Actually though...every strong emotion can make me cry...

— Hm...

— Too much happiness? tears, too much sadness? tears, too angry? tears, even emb- ... you know what i mean...even that makes me cry some times!
