I still hate you (Tom x Tord. eddsworld)

Chapter 7

Tord has been sitting in his room for a while now, holding the M.E.G. The Memory Eraser Gun, I got lazy of saying 'Memory eraser gun' so it's 'M.E.G' now. He has been taking it apart and putting it back together, he tried to add something on to it but, it didn't work. Or maybe it did and he didn't remember it. Also it didn't help that Meg needed parts that were back in the red army if he did wanted to change something. Great, just great Tord. wait... Tord got an idea.

Tord walked outside and went to the nearest payphone. In the booth thing, beside the phone there was a little sign that said, 'Please put 1$ :D' (happy face because why not?) and it had an arrow pointing at a little slot right under the phone that was big enough for a coin. (am I really explaining what a payphone is, right now? You all probably know what it is anyways, why am I explaining?) Tord put in a coin and grabbed the phone and typed in some numbers. While he was waiting, a song came on. "sunshine, lollipops and-" Tord sighed angery. Then, A male voice picked up, "Hello?" "Paul, do you remember the memory eraser gun?" The male voice- or should I say- Paul was silent for a moment then he said, "Yes Re- Tord. Why do you ask?" "I need to add something to it, do you remember where I put the extra parts?" "Yes, yes. Do you want me to send them over? Or...when your done your missio-" Tord cut him off before he could continue. "Send the parts over as soon as you can. That's an order." "...Does this have anything to do with To-" "This conversation is over." Tord hung up.

The next day, Tom looked out the kitchen window to see Tord a grab a box and quickly dart inside. "That's...odd." Tom mumbled to himself. "What is it, Tom?" Edd asked titling his head whole sitting at the table. Tom looked at Edd and replied saying, "I think Tord's up to something." "I'm pretty sure you always think that..." Edd replied back. Matt sat at beside Edd reading a newspaper. "hmmm... I think this newspaper is in a different language." Matt said looking closer at the paper. Edd chuckled. "Silly Matt, it's upside down!" Edd grabbed the newspaper and flipped it around. "Oh! Thank you Edd!" Matt continued to focus on the newspaper. "Heh, no problem buddy." Edd smiled at Matt. They all knew that Matt couldn't read, but it was nice to at least see him try.
Tom went back to looking at Tord's house. Just waiting for something to happen.

Was Tom expecting something?

He didn't know the answer himself.

Edd snapped his fingers a few times, "Hey! Eddsworld to Tom!" Tom snapped back to reality and spun around to face Edd and Matt. "Okay, you've got my attention now Edd." Tom said looking slightly tired. "What is it?" "It's just...you seem to be thinking of Tord a lot...is there something you want to say about Tord? Or...TO Tord?" Edd asked Tom. Tom looked at Edd with confusion and slight anger. "Why would I want to say something to that Commie?! He's nothing but a devil horned red eyed Commie with a... smile...and..." Tom started to go quiet and he lost his words mid sentence. Edd raised an eyebrow. "uh-huh..." Edd mumbled with a smirk. "I don't like him if that's what you're thinking." "Sure, sure...keep thinking that Tom." Edd chuckled. Matt put the newspaper down and looked at the both of them. "Okay... how about... you go talk to Tord?!" Matt practically yells the suggestion. Tom knew that Edd shipped him and Tord, but now Matt? Great...just great...now there's two shippers in the house... Tom sighed to himself. "TomTord, TomTord, TomTord!" Edd starts chanting, then Matt joins in. Tom gets annoyed and says, "Okay! okay! stops yelling!" They both stop and smile at Tom innocently. "I'll talk to him or whatever..." He mumbles loud enough so Edd and Matt could hear. "YAY! TOMTORD!" Edd and Matt yell at the sametime. "You two are acting like I haven't talked to him for 100 years...it's only been a day..." Tom crosses his arms and looks toward Tord's house again. "Maybe a day for you..." Matt whispers, but everyone ends up hearing and they look at him. "Wha-?" That's all Tom could get out before he got pushed out the door. "Have fun!" Edd sounded like a fangirl.

Tom sighed and walked towards Tord's house. He knew he probably won't get out of this alive. Well, one of the reasons are that I'm the author and I like to do things weird. oh wait- I broke it again-. Anyways, Tom knocked on the door and Tord opened the door quicker than expected. Tord looked worried for a moment then he seen it was just Tom and claimed down. "Oh, Tom...it's just you." Tord somewhat smiled. Tom noticed that Tord wasn't wearing his red hoodie, just a grey t-shirt. "Have...you been busy?" Tom asked titling his head. "Um...kinda...why?" "I seen you carry a box inside your house." Tord tensed up for a moment. "It was just some...stuff." "You're not trying to build another giant robot, are you?" Tom put his hands in his hoodie and raised an eyebrow. "U-uhh..." Tom smiled "I'm kidding." Tord started smiling too to lighten the mood. "Heh...right. come in if you like." Tord opened the door more for Tom. He walked in.

They both walked to the living room, on the table in front of the couch, there was random parts for who knows what scattered on top of it. "Sorry for the mess...to be honest with you, I've been working on something." Tord said walking towards the table. Tom sat down at the couch. "What have you been working on?" Tom asked. Tord sat on the ground close to the table and smiled weirdly. "You'll find out soon Tom."

Back with Edd and Matt, they were looking through the window trying to get a look at Tom and Tord. Edd pressed his nose on the window like a child. "I wonder what's happening..." Edd wondered. "Hopefully something good..." Matt replied. "What do you mean by that...?" He glanced at Matt slightly. "Maybe they're finally getting along!" "Maybe...but, they're Tom and Tord...at the end of the day...they hate each other...but at least it's better than one of them dead and the other heart broken." Edd said somewhat cheerfully, but near the end he'd sounded more quiet. "Yeah...I guess you're right." Matt agreed and put an arm around Edd. because, why not? That's what friends do, right? "I have an idea!" Matt said cheerfully. "Who are you and what have you done to the real Matt?" Edd laughed, so did Matt. "Let's go have a closer look." Matt said getting up and opening the front door. Edd followed. They walked to Tord's window that lead to his living room, a perfect view. "Perfect. Great idea Matt...surprisingly." Edd chuckled, Matt smiled. "I'm getting smarter everyday!"

"I enjoy talking with you, Tom...while I'm working." Tom looked at Tord surprised and a bit confused. "You do?" "Yeah...it's relaxing, actually." Tord picked up Meg. "How many times have you said that?" Tom said with a smirk on his face "hm?" "The gun" Tom pointed out. "Oh! I would never- I mean-" "Tord, joking." "Right...right..." Things were silent for a moment, while Tord was working with the Meg and the parts scattered across the table. "What are you doing with that gun? Are you giving it an upgrade or something..?" Tom asked Tord. "I'm giving Meg an upgrade, yes." Tord smiled while looking at the gun. "The best upgrade..." Tord added. "Meg?" To  tried to hold his laugh. "You named it?" "At least it stands for something... Memory Eraser Gun. Don't give me that look, Tom. You've named a non-living abject too..." Tord pointed out while sorta laughing along. "Heh...I guess you're right. I'm guilty of naming something too."

"Do you think things are going well now?" Matt asked looking at Edd. "They're laughing...I think that's good...I think they're bonding..." Edd explained with a little smile on his face. "Will TomTord happen, Edd?" "Maybe...We'll have to wait and see..." "Cross your fingers." "Crossing" "And toes" "Also crossing" "Wait, how you do that?" Matt asked looking at Edd, he just chuckled. "You'll know how to do it some day, Matt." A drop of water hit Edd's head, then another, then another, and another. Rain. "Let's head back inside. I think this is enough spying for one day." Edd said putting his hood up. Matt doing the same. They both walk into their house.

Tom looks out the window, he sees rain. It looks like it's coming down hard too. "It's raining." Tom explained. "I kinda already knew that." Tord said without looking at the window once. a loud noise came from outside out of no where, thunder. This made Tom jump a bit. He didn't expect it. He isn't scared of thunder or lighting. "It's suppose you want to leave since it's raining and...well, it looks like it might last all night. So, before it gets any worse, you could leave while you have the chance." Tord says looking at the window. Tom stays silent for a moment. "I'd rather stay dry..." He says. "Your choice, no eyes." "Is that your best nickname?" "...I need to think of one for you." "Isn't Tom short enough?" Tom says with a smile "But we need a nickname a little more fun than that. Other... than jahovas witness." Tom had forgotten about that nickname. But, for some reason he remembered the nickname, 'no eyes' too. Even though it's the first time he has heard it. Or was it?
Bang, thunder again.

"I guess I'm staying here for the night"
