After almost two hours of driving thanks to clogged traffic, you finally arrived at Edd's house. You saw in the window two other people - and one had no eyes?! This is gonna be exciting.

      "Ok I'm at the house what do I do exactly??"
      "just deliver it and he'll most likely start reading it at the doorstep"
      "That's...weird"
      "that's edd"
Hm. Whatever, let's get this over with.

You knock on the door, and the eyeless man opens up. "Hello." You froze a little. As weird as he was... This eyeless guy is kinda hot. You shook it off as he said;
"Hello? Anybody there?"
You blinked multiple times and looked him in the... Er...
"O-Oh! Sorry. Are you Edd Gould?"
The man wearing the blue hoodie shook his head, and called for his roommate. Edd paced his way over to the doorstep.
He was holding a Cola.
"Hi, I'm Edd! And you are..?"
"Y/N. I have a letter for you!" You held out the letter. You glanced at the eyeless guy again, and he was staring at you. You looked back at Edd quickly but he was still staring through those endless holes of his.
"My name's T-Tom, by the way." He blurted out. You smiled and felt your face getting a little warm again. God dammit, you just met an attractive guy, y/n! Stop falling for everyone so damn fast!
As predicted, Edd read the letter at the doorstep. His face looked ill as he kept on reading. He looked up at you, then at Tom, then briskly walked to his room, silent but obviously upset.
So Edd does still care about him.
"Uhh..." You and Tom said at the same time. You giggled, not noticing how loud the giggle was until Tom looked at you again and smiled. You smiled back, sweating.
"You can come in if you like, er... It's pretty cold." Said Tom, looking nervous for some reason.
You shook your head. "Oh, I'm gonna l-leave now, actually."
Tom's eyebrows went up a little bit. He stuttered but then randomly said;
"Can I have your number then?"
You both were silent for a bit, but then you gave him your phone as he added your number to his contact list and added his to yours. You left with a soft smile and a wave.

      "Letter delivered."
      "good..."
You knew what was going on in his head.
      "So... You been alright lately?"
He hesitated. You could practically feel it.
      "lol why"
      "I'm just worried about you is all"
      "...that's rly nice"
      ":)"
      ":^)"
You giggled again.
You just hope he doesn't do it tonight.
