MattEdd - Hidden love

Not the best start

Matt was in his room, admiring himself. He stood in front of his most prized mirror, flicking his hair and doing poses. Matt kept doing this for at least an hour, but something about it wasn't the same, it seemed to have lost it's spark. Matt let out a long sigh. He trudged downstairs, tightly clutching a hand mirror.

Edd was sat on the couch, legs up to his chest as he carefully sipped his cola. Matt sat on the opposite side of the sofa, his grip on the hand mirror tightening. Edd looked up and gave him a weak smile. "hey."

They got into a long conversation about a lot of random things, cars, cola, the military, a holiday.
"We should go to Scotland sometime."
"Yeah, we should go to a city... what cities do you get in Scotland?"
"Emmmm, there's Edinburgh, Glasgow, Dundee, Aberdeen, Invernes."

After their conversation died down the room was filled with silence. Edd shifted around a little before speaking again. "Matt?"
"Yes?"
"Can I tell you something, but you have to promise not to tell Tom?"
"Yes, of course."
"I miss Tord, a lot, because I... I loved him."

Realisation hit Matt hard, like a rock fell in his lungs. He realised he loved Edd, but Edd loved Tord. Matt fought his tears as the room went into an unsettling silence. "I'm, going to my room now." Matt ran upstairs, tears rolling down his face. He went into his room and slammed the door, pushing his back up against it. He wiped his tears with the back of his hand as he placed his hand mirror down with the other.

Edd starred at the stairs. Had he done something wrong? his mind was racing, maybe Matt didn't like the thought of him and Tord being together? He slowly set his feet down on the floor, walking to the kitchen to put the empty cola can in the bin. What was wrong with Matt?
