The aftermath (A tomatt fanfic)

A successful 'date'

Tom got dressed. Brushed his messy hair. Grabbed his phone and headed out.

Toms POV (ayyyy I'm doing POVs now lol)

What did Edd mean by, you've got a date to be ready for?! This ISNT a date. I don't even want to be here...

Edds right though.. I have a lot on my mind that I wanna tell Matt but.. how will I tell him? I'm really bad at this kind of stuff.

I'll just hope for the best.

Back to the narrator POV :)

Tom was about to walk out the front door, but he was so anxious. He thought the worst things. He thought Matt probably still hates him. Maybe he won't even show up..

"Tom..?" A smooth voice whispered. Tom turned around. "Oh. Hi Matt. You.. ready?"

"Yea."

"Alright."

It was awkward. Tom opened the door for Matt and they headed out.

"..so umm.. where do you want to go?" Matt tried to break the silence.

"Hmmm.. you hungry?"

"Yea."

"Alright. What are you in he mood for?"

Matt shrugged. "Breakfast bagels?"

"Matt it's 3 in the afternoon."

Silence.

"Lets go get some bagels."

Short time skip

When they got their, they ate in silence.

Except Tom wasn't eating.

Matt noticed. But didn't want to say anything.

'Just leave him be.' Matt thought

'He probably hates you anyway.'

When they finished, well, when Matt finished, Tom got a bag for his bagel and they headed out.

"What now?" Matt asked quietly.

Tom thought for a moment.

"I want to show you something."

"Hmm?"

"Follow me." Tom lead, and Matt followed.

When they got to their destination, Matt stood in awe.

They were at a park, a huge park. Children were playing, teens and adults alike were laughing and chatting. But what really caught Matts attention, was a beautiful, gigantic tree planted in the middle of the pure, green grass.

"Come." Tom gripped Matts hand.

Matt blushed.

Tom walked him over to the tree, let go of his hand, and sat down underneath it.

He patted the spot next to him, "Come sit."

Matt sat down.

"I usually come here alone to think about my problems, the peacefulness and purity of this park just calms me down. Helps me think clearly when I can't." Tom went on. "I even came to this park as a kid, since I've been living here my whole life, this was always just a place me to breathe. To be honest with myself."

Silence.

"Hey Matt."

Matt turned to face Tom.

"...I'm sorry... I'm sorry I was such an ass to you. I'm sorry I yelled. I'm sorry I didn't talk to you when I should've. And..

I'm sorry I can't bring Tord back..."

Tom felt sharp pain. Not because he was cut or bruised, but because he was an emotional mess with so much on his mind.

He hid his face in his hoodie.

But felt warmth around him.

It was Matt.

"Tom. Its ok, this wasn't all your fault.. i should've been carful with what I said.. I also should've tried to talk to you, but I always thought you just wanted to be alone..

And Tom, about Tord.."

Matt let go of Tom.

Tom peeked up from his hoodie.

"You make it sound like it's your fault he's gone, which isn't true! Tords.. changed.. everything's changing.."

It grew silent while Tom stared into the distance. Teary eyed.

"But yknow the good thing about all this..?"

Tom turned to look at Matt.

"You didn't die..

I'd rather have my everything's gone.. then my best friend.."

Tom slowly smiled, which led to giggling, and eventually tears were streaming down Toms face. Matt got scared, but Tom was.. still smiling?

"Wh- are you ok?! Was it something I said???"

Tom wiped the tears away.

"Matt. That was the smartest, most sincere thing you've ever said to me.." Tom chuckled.

Matt paused, and smiled back.

"Aww! Thanks to- wait.. what do you mean smartest?! are you trying to say something???"

"Guess." Tom smirked, and soon enough the two were laughing together.

Something they haven't done in a long time.

After a while, the laughter died down.

It was getting dark out.

"Hey Matt, I think it's about time we head home."

"Heh, yea"

Short time skip

They were home, and Matt walked Tom to his room.

"Thanks for the talk."

"Your very welcome! Well, I guess it's time for me to leave! Have a goodnight Tom!"

Tom smiled softly.

"Goodnight Matt."
