Streetlight [Light TomTord]

Epilogue

It was the late evening after Tom and Tord's night out, and Tom was walking to his bedroom. It's around 23:00, and he's very tired. Tom drowsily trudged into his bedroom and shut the door, climbing into his bed afterwards. Then, there's a knock on the door. He let himself in, "he" being Tord.

"Tord?" Tom was confused on why he was knocking so late.

"Tom.." Tord began. He shut Tom's door, and he walked over to his bed. "I need to talk to you."

"What's this about? Last night? Don't get any ideas if that's what-"

"Yes, it's about that, but I only want to know how you feel about it all, how you feel about me after that." Tord stared into Tom's eyes, getting the point across about how serious he was.

"Uh..." Tom didn't know what to say, due to the fact that he was kind of put on the spot.

"Here, let me narrow this down," Tord interrupted Tom's thoughts. "Is there any romantic feelings towards me after that? I know it's a bit extreme to assume after only a couple kisses, but it's been driving me up the wall all day." Tom didn't know how to respond. He didn't think he felt any feelings towards Tord, but who was he to talk? He kissed Tord in his sleep last night, not feeling regret.

"I don't know... I just... I don't think that I do, but I really can't say so for sure. We're hardly friends, anyway, who are either of us to talk about whether we feel that we 'like-like' each other?" Tom reasoned. Tord sighed.

"I guess you're right," Tord responded. "You're really smart, Tom. How is it that you haven't dumbed down like the rest of us?"

"Maybe I wasn't dumb to begin with, unlike some people," Tom smirked. Tord rolled his eyes, smiling.

"I'm so offended," Tord commented sarcastically. "Dork."

"I know you're not as bad as Matt, but stop talking about yourself," Tom played around. Tord chuckled. He moved to his knees rather than sitting criss-cross like he was. He crawled up to Tom, getting closer.

"You wouldn't m-"

"Only one," Tom said, knowing exactly what Tord was going to say. Tord brought his knees up right before Tom's, and he leaned up as Tom slightly leaned down. Their lips met, and neither of them pulled away as fast as last time. When Tord felt Tom try to move away, he kept his head close.

Tord put his hands on Tom's shoulders, and Tom moved his hands to Tord's waist. Tord ever so slightly repositioned himself onto Tom's lap, having a seat as he wrapped his arms around Tom's neck. Tom smiled into the kiss, as did Tord. They soon pulled away from each other.

Tom and Tord gazed into the other's eyes, faces ten different shades of red. They smiled at each other, and Tord leaned in for a hug. They tightly wrapped their arms around each other, and they both lightly giggle.

"I do think I, like-like you," Tord bravely admitted. He was very nervous about getting that out.

"I.. I just might as well," Tom said back.

"Then say it. Tell me," Tord purred, putting his head next to Tom's and snuggling there.

"I.. I do think I like-like you, too," Tom replied. "What is this, year one?" Tord lets out a couple more soft laughs.

"Your hesitation is cute," he commented, looking Tom in the eyes.

"Shush." Tom embraced Tord more, pulling him as close as he could. Tord flourished in the embrace, loving every second of it.

Click!

"Tom?" Edd stuck his head in Tom's room, and so did Matt.

Tom and Tord's eyes went wide. This was the last thing they were expecting. When Edd and Matt saw the two, their jaws dropped. Tord nervously pulled back from Tom, turning his torso to look at them with a red face.

"I called it," Edd said quietly. Matt pulled a five out of his back pocket and handed it to Edd.

"You're kidding me." Tord was kind of disappointed in them for betting on this.

"So... Anything you two want to tell us..?" Edd went on. Tord turned back to Tom, and after only a glance, they looked back at Edd and Matt.

"No," they said at once.

"C'mon, you guys never get along. What's up with all this?" Matt added, his tone confused. Tom and Tord looked at each other again.

Tord mouthed, "what should we say?" Tom shrugged.

"You're a lot of help," Tord said at normal volume.

"I'm aware," Tom said back. "Move." Tord moved off of Tom's lap, and he had a seat on the bed.

"So?" Edd spoke up.

"Let's leave it at, Tord and I feel different about each other after last night," Tom put simply.

"That's it?"

"Well-"

"A few fights led to a few cuddles led to a few kisses," Tord took the reigns. "Now please leave us alone." As much as Edd and Matt wanted to question, they both knew they weren't going to get much else out of them. They took their leave shortly after.

"Thanks," Tom broke the silence.

"No problem, I guess," Tord replied. It got quiet again.

"Y'know, it's quite a long walk back to my room, and it's pretty late~," Tord teased. "You don't suppose I could.. Sleep with you~?" Tord meant for it to sound dirty, and he smiled as he saw Tom tense,  face flushing a light red.

"You're not-"

"No, I'm not serious, silly. But I am tired, aren't you?"

"Yes.."

"Get under the covers, and stop being so stern."

Tord crawled underneath the covers, and Tom did as well. Tord moved over next to Tom, and he nestled up against his side. Tom put his arm around Tord, who hugs his torso tightly in return.

"You're comfy; no wonder I woke up feeling warm this morning," Tord giggled. Tom smiled; he always liked Tord's laugh.

"Go to sleep, you get sappy when you're tired," Tom chuckles.

"But I'm seriooouus~," Tord whined softly. He yawned. "G'night, dum gutt."

"What?"

"It means 'silly boy', in Norwegian, silly boy. It's what you are."

"Mmhm," Tom hummed. "Goodnight, lover boy."

Holding each other close, they soon fell asleep. It was the first night of many spent in the same bed, whether the sheets be covered in compliments or tears by the time they fell asleep.
