This is a version of the Portal AU. I don't know much about it, but I like this! Please enjoy!

"Ugh!" Tord awoke abruptly to the sound of metallic clawing. The Ska,Ska, Ska sound raking across the floor at a fast pace. Tord ran to the door next to him, slamming the door open. On the floor laid TomSka. He was actually on his knees, but he had robotic parts covering them. His wrists where uncovered, showing torn human skin beside metal. He turned to Tord astonished, and yelled for him to leave. Tord stayed put. He ran to Tom and picked him up bridal style. Tom blushed, and Tord liked that he still had a human face, and not a robotic, or man made one. Tord walked about two feet before placing him on his own bed. Blood stained Tords sleeves as he wrapped Toms wrists. Tom shoved him away, Tord landing on his back.
"What was that for? I was trying to-" Tord stopped. Tears, real, human tears ran across Toms face. Tom held his hand to his face, hating the way he was.
"Leave. Please." Tom begged. Tord got up, but didn't lean forward to help. Tom, surprisingly, continued.
"I hate the way I am. I hate who I am. I can't feel Tord." Tom sobbed into the covers in front of his face.
"That's not true." Tord said calmly.
"Yes, it is. I heard you, dont think I didn't! He's a robot, how could he have feelings?!? I heard you, I listened to every word you and those guards thought about me! I listened and I learned! I learned that I shouldn't be here!" Tom yelled, his voice cracking.
Tord looked at him astonished. It was true, he had said those things. But that was before he joined the group with him, Matt, and Edd. He had only heard a little about robots at the time, and it was a common problem for Tom.
"W-well that was before I knew you wherent fully a robot!" Tord started.
"P-plus look now! Your crying that's an emotion, you're yelling at me, that's another one!" Tord tried to convince him, but Tom still looked filled with pain and regret.
"I'm useless." Tom teared up.
"They put me on the duty of helping and guiding and working with robotics so I would have a purpose. Ever wonder why I'm not on the battlefield? They don't want me there! Nobody wants me here! They have pity for what it's good for, and they use it because of my tragedies! My mistakes!" Toms teeth where bared and tears streaked his face. Tord walked up to him, his face unreadable. Tord was again, amazed and astonished. Tom showed nobody his feelings, his hurt, his pain. But Tord just witnessed it firsthand. Tord came closer to Tom, and Tom responded by backing away, until his back reached the wall. Tord reached his hand up, and Tom winced at all the ideas of what Tord could do to him, yet he still believed he deserves it. Tords hand wiped the tears off his face, and looked him in his voids of eyes, they where amazing.
"W-WH-what-t-t" Toms voice glitched, and Tord brought him in for a hug. Tom flinched, but his shoulders eased as he cried in Tords shoulder. Toms mechanical leg limped, and his hands curled into fists around Tords pajamas.
"I'll help you through it."

"And THATS why i was sleeping-er I mean laying with him." Tord muttered.
Edd looked down at Tom, who was staring at the floor, tear lines proving Tords case.
"I wish you would've told us Tom, your our friend not a robot." Edd said, and pulled Tom in for another embrace. Matt joined in, followed by Tord, who hugged all three of them. Tom sighed in a hitched breath, tears of joy down his face.
"Th-th-tha-ank you." Tom said.
Edd chuckled "no problem friend, but don't you need both regular, and robotic sleeping schedules?" Edd asked.
"Y-Y-you c-c-caught me t-t-their f-F-frrrrr-rr-R E-Ennd-" Tom collapsed and received a gasp from Matt who picked him up easily.
"What happened?" He cried, worries for Tom. Tord stood up, taking Toms body from Matts arms into his.
"Don't worry friend, he just needs a charger." With that, Tord took Toms robotic charger from his room into Tords, and laid him down in the bed.
"Get some rest friend. We'll help you through it."
