Eddsworld One Shots (Mostly TomxTord)

Blinded

Tord's POV

A loud crash came from the kitchen. My eyes instantly flew open. I woke up facing the wall. The room appeared very dark. I tiredly moaned and roll over as I checked the time on my phone; 4:38 am. I decide to investigate the noise, just to be sure it's not a robber or anything.

I wake up a bit more as my feet hit the cold floor. My door opened with a small creak. While walking to the kitchen, a shiver flew down my spine as my thoughts began racing. What if there really is a robber? Maybe they noticed me by now, and they're waiting around the corner, just waiting to stab me or something. Should I go and get Edd? He'll know what to do. I'm such an idiot, I can stand up for myself, I don't need Edd's help.

I stood in the kitchen entrance, getting prepared for a knife in the chest or something. Without thinking, my arm quickly reached for the light switch. The light from the ceiling hurt my eyes a bit, being that the rest of the house was dark. To my surprise, I see... Tom...?

"Thomas!" I whisper, but in a demanding tone. Tom immediately spun around blindly. His dark eyes were filled with surprise as he faced me. "Tord?" He asks. "You nearly gave me a freaking heart attack, you bastard!"

"I'm sorry for making sure there wasn't a fucking burglar in the house. What the hell are you doing this early?" I walk over to him. His gaze stares blindly at the ceiling. Before he could respond, I take his hand. "Whatever," I excuse him, "You know you can come and get me if you need something, right?"

He goes silent, then mutters under his breath, "I know." I sigh and begin walking him back to his room, still holding onto his hand. "I don't need your help, though. I can do things by myself, too." Tom states. I look at him. His hair was very messy, and the bottoms of his pajama pants were dragging the cold floor. His shirt looked like it had a water stain on it.

We finally arrived to Tom's room. I lead him to his bed. "Sit."

Tom blindly reaches out for the blankets, which he eventually succeeds. As he gets settled in, I decide to ask him again. "What were you doing?"

"I wanted some water, but then I dropped my glass and I think it shattered. Now there's probably glass everywhere." I couldn't remember seeing any glass shards on the floor, but then I thought I'd go and make sure. I walked back to the kitchen.

There's a huge puddle of water on the floor, along with a glass with a crack running along the side of it. I grab the paper towels from the pantry and begin soaking the ice-cold water off the floor. While that sits, I throw away the glass, being that there was a chip missing that could possibly cut someone. With a bit of looking, I eventually found the small shard and put it in the trash. I picked up the paper towels and saw that the kitchen floor was now spotless. I threw the wet paper towels away, too.

I made my way back to the blind brunette's room. I saw that Tom was laying in his bed, eyes shut. His head wasn't even on a pillow, being that the pillow was on the floor. The blankets were scattered around the room. Shaking my head, I silently close the door.

After a while, I find myself lying in bed again, rethinking what just happened. Tom is so stubborn,  I think, why can't he just be more like Edd, or Matt? I glance over at my alarm clock. 4:50. I stare at my alarm clock until my eyes get too heavy, and they shut. I was silently thankful that it was Tom, and no one else.

What up! I hope you enjoyed this one, especially because this is an AU one shot, (ya know, the one where Tom is blind.) A few other people have written about this AU, and I would be happy to say that I am NOT copying them. When I first saw the AU, I immediately fell in love with it, thus giving me the inspiration for this little story. Hope you enjoyed! (Btw PLEASE comment suggestions, I'm running out of ideas to write about LOL)
