(The picture above is everyone's roles in this AU. Sorry if it's blurry, the Tumblr got deleted I think. For some reason.)


    Tord shoved his hands into his overcoat's pockets as he walked down the hall in a marching fashion. A cigarette hung out of the corner of his mouth, but it hadn't been lit. He walked over to the wall outside of his bunker and stopped, leaning against it, and pulling out his lighter, lighting his cigarette up before taking a puff. He really needed to cool it, his blood was still boiling from the fight.
While he smoked, he spotted a short male with a black eye and an eyepatch walking down the hall. He seemed to be bored, his eye was half lidded. As he approached, Tord decided to get his attention.

"Hey, you." He called out. The guy stopped and looked at him with a confused face. "Yeah, I meant you. Come here." The male nodded, walking up to Tord.
"What is it?"
"I haven't seen you around here, that's what." Tord responded. "Are you a new soldier or something?"
"Not exactly." The guy shrugged. Tord took a mental note that his voice was deep. "Why do you want to know?"
"I'm the second in command of his place, duh. I kind of need to know if your trespassing." Tord chuckled.
"Well, I'm not."
"Then what are you doing here?"
"My boss and I got hired by your leader, Paul. He wanted us to plan out weapons, since my boss is an engineer." The male explained. Tord nodded.
"Your boss... is he the tall ginger dude?"
"Yep. Sounds like Matt in one sentence." The guy chuckled. Tord joined in.
"What's your name?"
"Tom. Yours?"
"Tord." The norski responded, putting his hand out in front of Tom. Tom smiled slightly and shook his hand before leaned against the wall next to him.

"You ok? You seem on edge." Tom stated.
"Yeah... I'm usually like this. Got into a huge fight with my boyfriend... we broke up."
"Damn. I'm sorry."
"It's fine, I was the one who broke up with him." Tord stated. "You know that short guy with the fluffy brown hair and green eyes?" Tom nodded. "That's him."
"Why did you two fight, if it's ok for me to ask?"
"Like I told ya, I'm the leader's second in command, right? Well, that requires me to work most of the day and night. I really only get a few breaks. So he complained I didn't spend enough time with him. One thing escalated to another and, the next thing I knew, I was telling him we were through." Tord explained, shrugging.
"Sorry." Tom gulped. Tord chuckled.
"It's fine, it doesn't hurt me that much. We were starting to drift apart...." Tord trailed off for a moment. "Hey, do you believe in that whole 'soulmates' thing?"
"You mean, like, you have someone meant for you in the world? Kind of." Tom shrugged.
"Yeah, I believe in it. So, I guess I could say, I could tell Edd wasn't my soulmate. That's why it doesn't sting."
"Or maybe that's because YOU'RE the heartbreaker." Tom chuckled.
"Maybe it is." Tord laughed and out his cigarette out. "I should go, I have to meet up with Paul."
"Alright." Tom smiled a little bit. "Maybe I'll... see you around?"
"Definetly. I had fun talking to ya." Tord smiled and Tom nodded as the norski left down the wall, waving him goodbye.


(Sorry there wasn't any romance.)
