The door knob turned open. Revealing Tom resting on the bed. He had a fresh pair of new digital goggles on his eyes.

He is obviously awake, since the greeness of the eyes darted into the direction of the sound of the door opening and closing.

"Tord?" Tom spoke up. Tord swore he felt himself cry again. But alas, he held back his tears.

He went over and sat on the bed with Tom. "Hi, Honey. What do you remember?" He questioned.

"I remember.. confessing my feelings for you, working with you around the base and... Then it's a blur from there." Tom explained as he kissed Tord's cheek.

"Oh, I'm so sorry. You deserve an explanation." Tord replied as he grasped onto Tom's hand.

He gave it a small squeeze as he brushed his thumb on top of it. Tom sighed as he laid his head onto Tord's shoulder.

"Oh please. I have no idea how long I've been in here." Tom pouted a bit. Tord came up with the plenty of lies to make this scenario seem legit.

"Well," Tord paused and licked his lips. "A war broke out, and it was so violent. I'm glad I have trained you well, but –" he paused as he wrapped his arm around his lover.

"But?" Tom squeaked out.

"But, you got injured so badly. You hit your head and almost got shot multiple times. Thank goodness I was there. And I have saved you and won the war. But you seem to have been in a coma for at least a few months, so – you rested here until you've gotten better." Tord explained his false storyline. It was nothing but the truth.

"What about Edd and Matt? Are they okay?" Tom asked. Tord felt a pain hit is chest. His eye widened as he remained in a still - dissociative state for a moment.

"Honey?" Tom spoke softly out as he waved his hand into Tord's face. Tord snapped back into reality as he eyed up at Tom.

"What? Sorry, – I – I must've not heard you." Tord stammered out as he cleared his throat.

"Are Edd and Matt, okay?" Tom repeated his question softly.
