Tord sat down in his chair behind his desk. On the desk there were papers about so many things that Tord wished could go away. There was also an eye patch on his desk. He's supposed to wear it because his blind eye is now sensitive to bright lights. But he never wears it because well, there isn't much of a reason. But you can't look at him in the face and say it doesn't look cool on him. In the room, there wasn't much to it. It of course had hidden guns in the room, just in case something happens. On the right wall, there was a map of the place. He didn't need it, but he had it for some reason. Take note that there's a secret gun behind it. Oh, I guess it isn't much of a secret anymore. On the left wall, there hung a red army flag. It kinda reminds me of his hair. Also, I know what you're thinking 'Is there another secret gun there too?' no. That's just a weird place to hide a gun. (MAKEUPYOURMINDUNI-) Nothing much else was in his office. Just a normal everyday red leader office (That had guns in it). Tord thought about many things that day. I wouldn't say what because I think we all know what. Why are you looking at me like that? He's the read leader, he also reads hentai, and well, we know the situation with him and Tom. Let's just say his mind wandering places. No, you little dirty minded fool. Not that! Well, maybe. Let's continue with the story shall we? Tord started scribbling on a piece of paper with a pen. Not sure what is doing, honestly. Jeez, he needs to work on his handwriting, even I can't read that. Hm, let's see. Maybe it says; hammers and birds with hats.
I don't think that's what it says. Oh wait, maybe it's in Norwegian! I don't know how to speak Norwegian. So let's give this a shot!
Oversetter du dette?
Don't know what that means but maybe it's important. No, no, I don't think it is. Maybe it's a very short shopping list or something. Tord is too confusing for me, let's go to the Tom now.

Tom sat at the mini couch bored. Then, Edd and Matt came around the corner. "Hey Tom, me and Matt are going for a walk. Wanna come?" Edd asked. "Eehhhh...no thanks. I had enough walking for today." "Okay, if you need us we'll be close by." Matt said "Where is 'close by'?" Tom asked but before he could get an answer, Edd said. "See ya Tom!" And both Matt and Edd walked out the door. Tom sighed. He just sat there being bored. Do something, Tom! You have to be more interesting than Tord! Then, there was a knock on the door tough cold door. Tom groaned and got up. He opened it to see a Tord. He was about to shut the door again but Tord stopped him by holding the door open with his robotic hand. Tom didn't want anything to do with this right now. "What do you want, commie?" Tom asked sounding a bit tried. (Tom why are you so tired all the time?) "Well, I was wondering if-" Tord got cut off by Tom. "no" He said with no emotion. "You didn't let me finish." "Exactly." They were both silent for a moment. "Like I was saying...would you like to spend some time with me for awhile..?" Tord asked sounding kinda shy. He regretted saying it like that as soon as he finished speaking. Stupid Tord, stupid Tord, stupid Tord... He'd never want to spend time with yo- His thoughts were cut off by Tom's voice. "Um...sure..?" Tord seemed to be surprised. "Really?" "Yes. I'm kinda alone for the night and I don't feel like getting knocked out by getting drunk. So, yeah. Why not? Now let's go before I have second thoughts." Tom explained. Tord felt warm inside, like the happy kind of warm. He hasn't felt that in a long time. Tom walked out and closed the door behind him. "Have any plans, commie?" Tom asked. "Actually, yes. Come with me!" Tord quickly grabbed Tom's hand with his robotic one. Before he had tim to react, Tord started literally speed walking through the halls of the base. Tom didn't bother to try to get out of Tord's grip, robot arm vs. human arm. Which one would win?

They made their way to these stairs that seemed to go up pretty high. "Tord, where are we going?" Tom asked as Tord lead him up the stairs, still kinda speed walking. "You'll see very soon, Tommy." Tord teased. Tom growled quietly at the nickname, 'Tommy'. He would much rather the nickname 'no eyes' than that. They soon got to the top of the stairs and there was a door. "Really, we claimed up those stairs for a door?" Asked Tom a bit annoyed. "Ha, classic stupid Tom! It's not the door we're here for! It's what behind the door." When Tord said that, he opened the door and it looked like they were on the roof. It was pretty high up, but not high enough to make everyone look like ants. Just low enough to debate who is who. It was also high enough if you slipped or jumped off, you'd either be seriously injured, or you would die. So, yeah. Totally no foreshadowing in this chapter. The sun started to dissappear from the sky while it turned a very dark purplish blue. Stars started to fill the black void in the sky making it a little bit brighter. The moon started to come up making everything glow a little more. Tom's 'eyes' reflected the light from the stars and the moon, making his own void (aka his eyes) light up. It was honestly a great sight. One of those things that you would think was too beautiful to be true. Tom didn't say a word, just looked. And while Tom looked at the sky, Tord looked at Tom smiling. "Cool, right?" Tord said letting go of Tom's hand. Tom snapped back to reality. "uh, yeah...yeah..." They both sat down and looked at the stars. At this moment, Tord had some flashbacks. The flashbacks were about when him and Tom first met.

about the FLASHHHHHHHBACCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

It was a dark cloudy night, in the park. Tord sat alone at a bench. Then, a figure came along. This figure ended up being Tom. The clouds had moved away from the stars. The stars light the place up just a little bit more. They both somewhat chatted then they both ended up leaving. The next night, they chatted again. This pretty much went on for awhile. Then, a lot of things happened. But let's keep those 'things' a secret for now, shall we?

End of flashback

Tord wondered if Tom remembers that night the same way he does. Probably not because he erased his memory. But not all of it of course. He just didn't know what remained. "Tom, remember when we first met?" Tord asked still looking at the stars. Tom made a 'mhm' noise and said, "That night was one weird night. But it's kinda hard to remember sometimes..." "Oh...I see..." Tord replied saying glancing at Tom. They stayed quiet for awhile. "Do you think Edd and Matt are back yet?" Tom asked looking at the ground below. "Maybe. But who cares...they're not your parents or anything. Are they?" Tord teased. Tom smiled a bit. Maybe this night wasn't a waste of time and he is starting to like me! Tord squeaked in his head. He hasn't said anything too rude all night. Is that good? Maybe it's good. Or is that bad? Stop worrying, Tord. Things are going fine. If this works out, you won't have to use plan C. Just pretend the letter C doesn't exist for now...  I guess you could say that Tord's mind is wondering places. He also seems to be worrying at the moment. You also might ask, 'What's plan C?'. Well dear reader, I think it's best if you stay as clueless about that as Tom for now.

"There they are!" Tom pointed out from down below. It looked like Edd and Matt were having one heck of a night down there. Let's go see what they're up to!

Edd smiled at his pun that he just made. Matt chuckled a bit. Then Edd said, "I'd have to say, this night was EDDmazing." Matt smiled. "Hm, I wonder what Tom is doing..." Matt wondered. "Hopefully out. Because that room can get pretty boring pretty quickly." Edd said. Matt glanced around then seen Tom and Tord on the roof. Then he poked Edd and pointed to them. "Edd, look. There's Tom!" Edd looked at where Matt was pointing. "Maybe they're finally getting along..?" Edd said unsure. I swear, if one of them pushes the other off of that roof... Edd said to himself. Matt waved at them and Tom waved back. "Let's go now, Matt. And hopefully we will still have Tom AND Tord in the morning." Edd joked while he started walking while Matt followed.

Back at the roof, Tom looked like he was about to fall asleep. (Tom, why you so tired all the time? Have you been up all night?!) "Tom, I don't think it's a good idea to fall asleep on here." Tord said smiling bit. "Why not?" Tom asked sounding tired. "You might fall." "So be it." Tom joked. "Screw gravity." He added. Tord chuckled. "Well, gravity won't be nice to you when you hit the ground. Come on, let's get you to bed." Tord said getting up. Tom groaned. "I don't wanna go..." "Do you want to fall off of the roof?" "Not really..." "Then come on." Tom groaned again oit of pure laziness. And tiredness. Tord sighed. "Do I have to carry you?" "No." "Then get up." "Ehhh...fine." Tom lazily got up. Tord grabbed his hand and walked down the stairs with him. "Why do you always hold my hand, commie?" Tom asked sleepily. Tord was quiet for a moment. "U-uh...so you don't get lost! Yeah...that's why..." Tord blurted out while he mumbled the last part. "Sure, commie. I'd totally get lost when we are walking right next you each other." Tom said not believing what Tord just said. Tord mumbled something in Norwegian, Tom not knowing Norwegian, didn't know what he said. Even if he could understand it, Tord would've been too quiet to even understand what he said anyways. They get to the room where 'the gang' is staying in. Tord let go of Tom. "...see you tomorrow, I guess." Tord said not knowing what to say. "Um...yeah, see you tomorrow..." Tom said while opening the door and going in. He closed the door behind him.
Tord walked off a moment later.

This was one peaceful night.

Probably the most peaceful for awhile...
