After that weird message from that Norwegian guy, you went to talk to Ben.
"Hey Ben do u know anyone named Tord"
Took him a few minutes to respond, as always...
"?? what kind of name is that"
You thought that was a bit rude, but he didn't know what he was talking about so you let it slide.
"Some dude called @/red_hoodie04 messaged me saying his name was Tord and he needed help? He also asked if I knew an Edd"
Ben was typing for a while, but responded curiously;
"Edd Gould..?"
You were kind of shocked. How did Ben know the guys last name? Is that even the same Edd Tord was asking about?
"Ben idk he didn't specify! How did u get a last name anyway?"
Ben snapped back with a response immediately -
"I just looked through Tord's account and saw a guy named Edd in his old pics...you gotta learn how to snoop, y/g"
Ugh, duh! Why didn't you just scroll down or something? You felt sorta stupid, but thanked Ben and went back to Tord's account to do your own stalking. Is it ok to call it that? You thought, but you were already scrolling down his page and -
"hi again"
What? Why was he messaging me again? I thought he knew I didn't know Edd...at the time...
"u there?"
Shit, what do you do? You're already a few weeks into his page, may as well look quick -
"why did u like my photo from 16 weeks ago?"
...Dammit. You really do need to learn to snoop.
"Um...hi. I liked it cuz I thought it was nice"
You don't even remember what the picture was, you just liked it impulsively! Dammit, y/n, think!!
"so u do know edd"
Wait, what -
"the guy in the photo? that's him"
There's no going back, there's no going back, there's no going back!!
"Sorry my friend told me he knew of Edd so I liked it ANYWAY what's up??"
You sounded nervous. How the hell did you manage to sound nervous even in a DM?!
"haha that explains it I guess... anyways may I speak to ur friend? if he knows edd I can get help"
aaAAAH
"I can help"
...
...Y/N! What're you doing?! You don't even know what this guy wan -
"o good. so...can u send note a letter for me"
You paused. What does he mean..?
"Why can't you mail it yourself?"
"he'll throw it away or burn it"
Wow, he jumps to conclusions. He seems like a good friend to Edd... But then again, it was 16 weeks ago.
"Oh...Not sure why but ok, I can. How??"
Another quick response -
"tell me ur address. dont worry I wont stalk u lol"
This was getting weird.
"Uh...ok? Still sounds sketchy tbh."
You could feel the tension you had both created.
Tord hesitated to respond, but then answered;
"thats ok. most ppl think im sketchy anyway."
"What's that supposed to mean??"
"ppl dont really like me."
You didn't know if you should feel sad or scared.
"Oh, I'm sure some people like you. You seem nice anyways"
He took about 6 minutes to respond after reading it. He responded with something that wasn't how he usually texted.
"I know if people like me or not, ok? I've lived a life you haven't. Dont patronize me. What's the address"
For the 2 hours you've known him, you've gathered he barely uses proper spelling... Why this text?
Everything he did sparked questions. Why does he need to send a secret letter? Won't he react the same if I send it? It'll still have his name on it. Why does Edd hate him if they were close friends only a few months ago? Why me?
"hey u still there y/n"
You snapped out of the weird zone-out thing that was going on, and responded with your address. You lived in an apartment with a bird named Juniper, who you've had since you were about 15 years old, now you're 20 and living on your own.
- the next day -
No messages from Tord since last night. You supposed he was writing the letter, or maybe he just didn't want to make friends and just needed this weird secret letter to get to Edd somehow. Either way, the groupchat what blowing up.
B: Gm
Ben saying good morning, as usual.
V: Hi Ben
Vince, who lived across country but has been a friend of Ben's longer than I have -
M: i see u y/n!! stalking our messages >:3c"
And Marle, who constantly used those annoying emotions. You decided to message back;
Y: Hi guys.
V: what's with the serious period lol?
B: They always use proper grammar, unlike most of us lmao
You snorted a bit.
Y: Am I gonna start a grammar war cuz of 1 single comma??
M: probably!! unu
Y: What does "unu" mean?
M: a sad face, stupid!! UnU
B: Even I saw the face in that one
V: same lol
Aw man, now you felt kinda silly. Your phone buzzed once more, but it was from someone else.
Tord.
"u online?"
V: hey y/n where'd you go
M: y/n uwu come back owo
V: those hideous emojis won't make them come back
Y: I'm only back cuz of Tord.
B: Him again?? What does he need now
Y: Well I told you about the letter but now he just wants to chat?? Idk
M: I looked at his page, he is pretty cute uwu
Y: Hey!!
M: what??? afraid of competition?? òwó
You noticed your face got hot. You don't know him, quit it! You told yourself.
"y/n? sorry i dont wanna look pushy but..."
You got a notification saying those words from Tord. You could only read the rest if you opened it.
M: y/n, im gonna dm him!!
Y: What?! No!
M: why not??? Òmó
Y: Cuz...He just texted me first. >:P
B: Oh look at you, using emoticons!! Bold move
Y: Shut it lmao. Talking to Tord now, I'll keep you all posted
You closed the chat & opened Tord's message.
"y/n? sorry i dont wanna look pushy but can i have ur skype? i prefer video chat to texting"
You widened your eyes a bit, and hesitated.
"How come?"
"well if we're gonna be friends we may as well have skype together"
Your face was doing it again.
Getting hot.
