Today was basically your day off from everything, no crazy adventures that almost got you killed, no screaming and fighting, and most importantly no rude neighbors to deal with. Normally, you would have gone out and done something for yourself, but today you chose to stay home. So here you were, sitting lazily on the couch with the tv on. Surprisingly, you hadn't been intrupted by any of your roommates, Edd, Matt, Tom, and Tord. That's when you remembers that Edd, Matt, and Tord went out to the store, while Tom was probably still sleeping in his room, even though it's the mid-afternoon. As much as you didn't want to get up, you thought it would be best if you got up and woke up the poor alcoholic.
You groan as you turn off the tv and pull yourself out of your spot on the couch. You sigh as you lazily walk over to Tom's bedroom door. You raise your hand up to knock on the door, but you stop when you hear the faint sound of crying coming from inside his room. You then lightly knock on the door," Tom? Are you okay? I can hear you crying." You get no response and the crying stops, aside from a few sniffles. "Tom, please, can I come in? I want to help you." You pled.
There was another moment of silence until you heard the faint click of the door being unlocked. The wooden door slowly opens, letting you see that his room is a mess. Tom barely pokes his head out from behind the door, but you can clearly tell that he has been crying for quite some time now. You give him a small frown and quickly step into his room, he closes the door behind you. You instantly turn around to face him, seeing that he already has his head down. You can now hear his quiet sobs again, and out of instinct, you gently wrap your arms around him and led him over to his messy bed. You both sit down on the edge of the bed, and Tom lightly rests his head on your shoulders as he cries. You gently pat his back, trying to calm him down, "Shhh.. It's alright, Tom. What's wrong?" You ask in a very soothing tone.
He sniffles a few times before responding to you,"I such a mess.. I always have been.. I'm an alcoholic disaster, who's insecure and believes that I'm better off dead at this point, no one cares about me anymore...." His words make you extremely upset.
"Tom, none of that is true. You are a beautiful human being who is allowed to make mistakes. Who cares if you drink, you're still the Tom that we all love and care about, especially me. Tom, I love you so much, okay? I always have and always will. I don't know if you feel the same way but, yeah... I love you.." You say, your cheeks turning a little red from embarrassment.
Now Tom was staring at you with wide eyes, that still had little tears in the corners of them. And without warning, he leaned over and gently pushed his lips onto yours. You were a little shocked but you instantly melted into it. The kiss lasted for only a few seconds, but it felt like forever for you. When he pulled away, there was a small smile and blush on his face." I love you too, (Y/N), I always have." You giggled a little.
"Good! Now, promise me that you'll never doubt yourself ever again, okay?" You ask
Tom sighs and nods," Alright, I promise. No matter how Imperfect I may be."
You roll your eyes and wrap your arms around him, leaning your head on his shoulder," You're perfectly imperfect to me, Tom. I love you!"
"I love you too, (Y/N)"
