Dear Blue Jay, Dear Red Bird (TomTord)

Dear Red Bird

Snap

Tom spun around on his heels, only to be greeted by a tall hooded figure
He screamed in fear, falling backwards into the forest floor, automatically getting his pajamas dirty from the rotting leafs
"P - please don't hurt me.." He squeaked in fear, covering his eyes with his hands

Two hands grabbed Toms small hands, pulling them away from his eyes
"Shhh.. it's just me hun.." the figure pulled his hood off, revealing the familiar spiked horn hair, and his grey eyes.
Tord.
Tom wiped his eyes, trying to hide the on coming tears, but with no luck

Tord sat down, pulling the boy onto his lap, and holding him close, slightly rocking back and forth, cooing comforting words
Almost.
The boy was almost asleep.

He hesitated, before kissing tom on his forehead, causing the boy to blush heavily.

He kissed me.. and I liked it..!
Its not weird to get kisses. He was pretty used to it now. Edd or matt always gave him kisses before he went to bed. Toms mind was racing, as he tried to process everything around him. The man, the rotting house.. the roses..
His bag!
Tom pulled his backpack off his back, opening it.

The norwegain watched in interest. Interested by the beautiful young man he held in his arms. Tord was only 10, although he looked to be about 16. He was far to old to like a young man. Not to add, like a man in general. He wasn't gay. Maybe he just liked tom in a friendly way. That was his hope at least. And that's what he decided to stick with for now.

Tom pulled out a rose shaped chocolate candy from his backpack, breaking a chocolate petal off and holding a piece up to tord.

"Do you believe?"
Tord took the candy, looking at tom in confusion.
"Believe in what?"
"This world"
"Explain to me what that even means.. I'm honestly stumped"
