Wolf In Sheep's Clothing (Tomtord Au)

Six: More Secrets

~Tord~

It was our 15th secret meeting, all our time spent kissing. Especially when I pinned Tom against the wall. He loved it.
"You think... They will ever find out?"
"Never. I'll make sure." I reassured him.
"Okay." He sighed, I kissing him again. Then my phone rang, interrupting us.
"Tord here." I answered.
"Boss? Bad news. Your father.... He-"
"What?!"
"He retired. You're the red leader now."
"What? I... I have to think about this." I said.
"Okay." He said, hanging up.
"What's wrong?" Tom asked.
"It's nothing." I said, putting my phone away and bringing Tom close.
"You okay?"
"I... I don't know." I admitted.
"How do you not know?"
"I just..." I trailed off.
"Tord." Tom said, I looking up at him.
"What?"
"It's fine." He giving me a goofy smirk.
"You're a dork." I sighed.
"I'm your dork." He said, hugging me.
"Yup." I kissed his nose.

"Tord, Think about this. Do you really want to take your father's place?"
"Of course. The old man got caught, and now he's released, he retired. His illness is getting worse, and soon-"
"I know, Tord. It's okay." Lynn smiled, putting her hand on my shoulder.
"I don't want the responsibility."
"No one does."
"Johnny will be pissed, knowing his competition is a kid." I smirked.
"And what about Tom?"
"Nothing about him. He won't know anything."
"Does he know what you did in Chicago?"
"No! We will never speak of that!"
"Okay, okay. I guess I have to call you sir, now, right?"
"Yeah."

~Tom~

"Tord?" I asked, poking him. He was looking off into space.
"Hmm?" He faced me.
"Everything.. Okay?"
"Yup."
"Liar." I said.
"What?"
"You heard me."
"Why'd you call me a liar?"
"You weren't very confident in your answer."
"Fine. Nothing is okay as long as we can't publicly be together."
"That's true. But I feel like things are going to change."
"How?"
"I'm psychic."
"No way."
"You're right. I'm not."
"Tom!" Tord complained as I laughed, he laughing along with me. Moments like this Were my favorite. But I couldn't help but think something was wrong.
