The Alliance (TomTord Fanfic) (#Wattys2017)

Epilogue

"Tick! Get back here!" Tom called to his son as his foot skidded against a puddle of water, making him trip and fall straight on his face. He heard footsteps walk up to him as he looked up.
"Are you ok, Tommy?" Tord asked, and put his hand out to help Tom up. The Brit took up and got up, groaning.
"Yeah... I'm fine." He looked to Tord's shoulder to see his son sitting on his father's shoulder and sticking his tongue out at him. Tom narrowed his eyes.
"You remind me so much of your father when he was little."
"Hah! That's actually true."
"Tord? Where's Tac?"
"She's asleep."
Tom nodded at his husband and picked up Tick, ruffling his hair before putting him back on the ground.
"Tick, go get your sister for me."
"On it!" Tick saluted his father and ran off. Tom laughed.
"I thought him that yesterday." Tord said proudly and placed an arm around Tom's waist.
"Mhm... you're too obsessed with military stuff." Tom poked his husbands cheek, causing him to laugh.
"Hey, in a few hours, once you put the kids to bed, can you meet me outside of the base?" Tord asked and Tom nodded.
"Great! Now, I have to go deal with some business stuff. Paul said I should go."
"Alright." Tom kissed Tord's cheek. "I'll see you later, then."

Tom walked out of the base's front doors and was met with the chilly night air. He breathed in the relaxing air and walked over to the wall where Tord was leaning against the large base.
"I'm here."
"Alright. I wanted to show you something, like I said." Tord grabbed Tom's hand and started leading him away from the base. "Oh, wait." He stopped walking and looked at the Brit. "Close your eyes."
"Why?"
"Because it's a surprise." Tord answered and Tom rolled his eyes before covering his eyes with one hand. Tord started walking again, keeping his fingers intertwined with Tom's.

After a few moments, they reached their destination and Tord sat down, making Tom sit next to him.
"Alright. You can open your eyes now, Tommy." Tom took his hand away from his face and gasped. He was looking out into a sea with the stars reflecting on the water. He looked around where they were and saw an old structure.
"Is this..?"
"The Crimson Navy's old base, yeah." Tord replied and smiled softly. "I'm thinking of making this a harbor in honor of Todd. He did kind of bring us together, you know."
"Yeah... that's really sweet of you." Tom replied and stared up at the sky. "Do you think... do you think he's happy?"
"I bet he is, Tom. He's with the one he loves most. Like I am right now." Tord replied and kissed Tom's cheek, making the Brit chuckle.
"I guess you're right..." The two stared off into the distance for a moment before Tom leaned his head on Tord's shoulder.
"I love you." Tord said and smiled at Tom.
"I love you, too." Tom replied and kissed Tord. The communist instantly kissed back and pulled back after a few moments.
"How about we stay here for a few more minutes?"
"Sounds like a plan to me." Tom replied and closed his eyes.

Who knew a little alliance would bring the two enemies together?
