The Performer and his Chaperon (Tordtom)

𝔖𝔪𝔦𝔩𝔢

Tord walked from his apartment to the "STAFF ONLY" door once again. But this time, his spirits were lifted. He was allowed to work for the famous actor all the girls clamor to be next to, Thomas Ridgewell!

Tord walked to the room that Mr. Daniels told him to go to. He opened the door and looked into the room. It was small but nicely made up. A tall mirror in the corner, a couch and a closet. He walked over to the closet and opened it, finding a nicely ironed uniform. Tord smiled and removed it from the hanger, pulling it on and admiring himself in the mirror.

He started posing as laughter was heard from the door. It was Edd.

"What- how long have you been there?!" Tord smiled

"Long enough." Edd chuckled

"Cmon It's 5:55, you need to meet Tom."  

"Oh shoot, I forgot." Tord grinned as Edd pulled him along, rolling his eyes.

They reached a room with a big star labeled " Thomas Ridgewell ". Edd slightly nudged Tord towards it, motioning for him to open it.

Tord slowly opened the door and saw Thomas fixing his jacket in the mirror. He had a slim body figure, was mid height, and had jet black eyes. An annoyed expression was plastered on his face.

"God Dammit. Why won't it zip!" He grumbled 

"You need help?" Tord asked.

Tom snapped his head to Tord, still fiddling with the zipper in his hands

"Sure." Tom responded.

Tord walked over and carefully inspected the zipper.

"Ah.. here we go." Tord whispered to himself

He took the twisted part of the zipper and pushed it back into place. He stood back and smiled at Tom.

"There you go!" Tord said proudly.

Tom cracked a small smile and thanked Tord.

"So you're my bodyguard?" Tom asked "You're a bit different than I expected."

Tord snorted "How so?"

"Well, you are taller than I thought, you have more muscle, and well.. your horns." Tom inquired

"Well, those are just some benefits darling~" Tord said jokingly and winked

Tom huffed and light pink dusted his cheeks.

"We have to see Mr.Daniel in his office, he asked to see us." Tom said as he started walking alongside Tord.

They reached Mr. Daniel's office doors and pulled them open. Mr. Daniel sat in his chair listening to his jazz tunes like always. He smiled once they came in, shutting off his music..for now.

"Hello Thomas! Tord! Please sit!" Mr. Daniel exclaimed.

Tom and Tord sat down, and Tord started conversing with Mr.Daniels about the upcoming red-carpet event where Tord had to guard Tom from paparazzi. They spoke for a long time, leaving Tom to look at his new companion. He had caramel hair that was slicked up into two horns and had smoke colored eyes, which picked up the light and made them sparkle. He wore a grey shirt and over it was a black leather jacket, then a pair of black jeans with black converse that were recently cleaned.

Tord looked over to Tom, who quickly turned to look at the painting on the wall, blushing.

Tord grinned and then Mr.Daniels spoke. 

"I think everything is in order. We will meet at the front of the building on August 1 at 2:00pm sharp. Got it?" 

"Yes sir." Tord nodded 

"You may go now, thank you for your time." Mr.Daniels smiled softly, then Tord and Tom got up to leave. 

Once they were out of the jazz and cigar infused room, Tord asked

"Do you want to go to the bakery that's downtown ?" He suggested

"But.. what about all the people?" Tom asked, shivering at the thought.

"Don't worry I have an idea." Tord grinned

-Time skip-

Tom walked out of the dressing room, wearing a loose "Smug head" shirt, ripped jeans, checkered shoes, and a pair of black sunglasses.

"This is perfect!" Tom exclaimed

"I'm glad, now let's go" Tord said softy smiling.

He took Tom's hand and led him out the door, walking into the rush of people.

"Woah" Tom pointed at a tall building

"Have you never been outside or somethin'?" Tord chuckled

Tom softly punched Tord's arm.

"Of course I have dumbass, just never without people trailing behind me. Except as a child." Tom sighed.

Tord softly hummed at the comment and gave Tom's hand a little squeeze, which made him look over and smile.

They arrived at the bakery and admired all the baked goods. It smelled of fresh bread and powdered sugar, a hint of coffee here and there.

"Look at that one!" Tom said excitedly, pointing at a cookie that was decorated with stars and sprinkles.

Tord chuckled and walked over to the cash register, smiling at the employee.

"Just that one please." Tord said, pointing at the cookie Tom wanted.

"Sure thing! That will be 10.29$." The employee said, grabbing the cookie from the display and putting it into a small bag.

Tord hands the employee the money and walks off, back to Tom.

Tom was waiting, sitting on a wooden stool while looking at the waves of people and places. Tord sat down and slipped the cookie to Tom, who was surprised.

"For me?" He asked

"Well, duh" Tord grinned

Tom took the cookie and parted it in two, giving one piece to Tord and one to himself.

After they had finished eating, Tom wanted to go back to the theater. Tord decided to walk him there, but had to leave afterward because it was getting late.

Once they reached the glass door entrance, Tom turned to look back a Tord.

"Thanks for the fun time" Tom grinned

"Don't mention it" Tord said, softly ruffling Tom's hair.

"Tomorrow is a big day though, so get some good rest." Tord said

"Mhm, I will" Tom smiled.

After they said their good nights to each other, they went their separate ways. Tord back to his apartment and Tom back to his house nearby. But both with excitement coursing in their veins.
