Falling for the unexpected ((Tord x reader fanfic))

Closer

It was Monday morning and I was sitting with Edd in first period, like always. We were talking about who we were going to take to the school dance. "So Edd, who are you going to take?" I ask, curiously. "Eh, I don't know. Probably just going to go with Tom and Matt as friends. Who are you going with, y/n?" He looked back at me and I shrugged. "I don't know, probably just go with you guys. I don't think anyone likes me like that in this school."

"What about Tord? He seems to like you."

//TORD?!?//

I gulped and blushed slightly, quickly rubbing it off, our teacher walking in.

---wibbly wobbly timey wimmey time jump---

Today, I had gym. It wasn't my favorite, considering on how wrong everything was. I walked out of the locker room, pinning my hair out of my face. I saw that they had mats laid out and I smiled a little for today was gymnastics day.
I sit on the benches for my class and I see Tord walking out of the locker room. I think about what Edd said in first period, then shoved it aside.
Tord approached me looked up to where I sat on the top seat. "You're faster at me at getting changed. How is that possible?" He asked, sitting on the bottom seat.
"Oh please. Not only do I have to change in a one foot space, but I also have to get around a bunch of other screaming girls who care too much about their breast size and Instagram trends that they don't even know what's going on around them. You tell me what you have to do and then we'll see who has it worse." I cross my legs, putting my hands next to me and putting more weight on them.
"Alright alright you have it worse, I guess. " he laughed and put his hands up like he did on the day I met him.
"Hey Tord?"
"hmm..?" He turned and looked at me.
"Do you find it strange how in a few weeks this place will be the school dance?" I looked across the gymnasium, taking it in as it was.
"Hmm. Kind of. Why?"
"No reason. By the way, who are you taking? I know a few girls who swoon over you. " I look back down at him, uncrossing my legs.
He was still looking over the gym while he answered. "I don't know yet. That's a decision that's going to take a little more time. "

At lunch I sat with the gang like normal, talking, eating, at one point water came out of Matt's nose. It was funny for us but he was sad because he said
"
Now my beautiful nose will be red and my clothes are soak!"
"At least they're dryer than us!" I tell him wiping my face. Tord pulled out a red cloth and handed it to me. "Hey, thanks. But you use it first, I can alway clean up in the bathroom."
"No, y/n, you use it. I don't care if I'm a little wet." He handed it back to me, but not before wiping a bit of my cheek off. I could feel myself getting red, but I swallowed and kept still, letting him clean my face. "Thanks..." I could feel the blush coming back before I noticed he was blushing a little too. I saw something on his forehead and took the cloth from him, wiping it off. It was a bit of glitter and I chuckled, flicking it away. "You had some glitter on your forehead, Tord. Any ideas?" I chuckle softly at my own joke and Tord shrugged.
"It probably came from some prissy girl's purse."
I study his face for a moment, taking a mental image before I returned to lunch.

After school I went to work, signing in and changing into the warm sweater. I snuggled into it slightly and walked to my desk, opening my laptop and beginning to work.

At 4:30, Paul came down to my desk and got me for training. I changed quickly and walked out, starting off with some bar work.

"you're getting good at this." Paul told me after my usual third water bottle.
"Yeah, well, it's been, what. A month now? Plus I have gym ever other day so that doesn't really do anything. " I chuckled, throwing the bottle away before heading to the changing rooms. "I'm gonna go change then head home. I'll see you tomorrow Paul!" I semi shout to him as I walk into the locker room.

Every day went one mostly the same.

School

work

home

but the one thing that was changing is that the school dance was coming closer and closer, and both Tord and I have yet to find dates.
