Tom sat on the bed in the exact same position he was in. He hadn't stopped crying or even looked up. He sniffed a bit before trying to calm down since he had a pretty bad headache from crying so much.
He looked up and saw out the one window he had in his little room that it was pitch black. The moon was also right above him so it was probably around midnight.

Tom sighed and stood up going into the bathroom and looking at himself in the mirror. He looked tired. But hey at least this place had a shower and everything so that's ONE positive thing.
Tom was trying his best to find positive things about this place so he wouldn't cry as much. So he decided to take a shower maybe it'll settle his nerves.
He took a 10 maybe 15 minuet shower before stepping out and taking a deep breath before smiling.
He got dressed and walked back into the room just to be reminded where he was.He looked down, his smile falling. He could feel the tears stinging his eyes again.
"Dammit self! What did I say about crying!" He yelled putting his hands over his eyes.
Right then there was a knock at the door.
Tom looked up and gasped when the door opened.

There stood a girl that looked maybe 6 or 7. She had bleach blonde hair that was in high pigtails and dark greeny blue eyes. She had a baby blue dress on with a black apron on that had red smudges on it. It looked like blood but Tom hoped it was strawberry jam or something. "Hello..." Tom said trying to put on a smile. "Hi...I've been sent to give you this..." The little girl held Tom a plate that had chicken, mashed potatoes and peas on it. It looked delicious.
Tom looked up and suspiciously looked at the food on the plate. "Is...Is this poisoned?" Tom asked which made the girl chuckle once. "Heh...no it can't be since I made it..." Tom looked up in even more surprise. "You made this?!" Tom asked.
The little girl nodded.
"Why are you waiting so late to serve this or whatever?"
"Uh..I...had to wait a while before being able to cook it...here...I'll be off now..." The girl said handing Tom the plate and starting to walk off.
"Wait!" Tom shouted making the girl turn around. "What?" "Um...do you wanna maybe sit and talk for a bit? I haven't had good human contact in a while...I used to want to be anti-social but...now I hate it..."
The girl looked up kinda scared or surprised kinda in the middle.
"You...wanna talk to...me?" The girl asked kinda shyly. Tom nodded and smiled.

The girl and Tom sat on the floor against the wall.
"Why were you so startled when I asked if I could talk to you? And more importantly who are you?" Tom asked pretty much stuffing his face. He was amazed a girl her age could make food this good.
"Well...nobody ever talks to me...and..Edd tells me nobody cares or wants to talk to me...and the other thing is...my name is Lanie...and I was taken a couple years ago from an orphanage...Edd is the only person I've known for a while...he taught me how to cook and he was awsome the first few months but...then it all changed..." Lanie explained looking down at the last part.
Tom put the plate down and put his hand under her chin and made it to where they were looking at each other.
"Edd is a liar...you're adorable! I bet everyone would love to talk to you!" Tom said with a smile. Lanie smiled back.
"You really think so?"
"Yes! Lanie...I haven't know you for long but I already know you're an amazing person! An awsome cook if I do say so myself!" Tom said putting more chicken in his mouth.
Lanie giggled a bit.
"Why...why are you here? If you don't mind me asking!" Lanie said putting her hands up as if Tom would get super pissed for her asking.
"Me?...well...I don't know is the honest answer...Edd and Matt were my best friends ever since early grade school...but...now I'm here...probably to lure Tord here or something!" Tom said trying his best not to cry again.

"Whos Tord?" Lanie asked. This made Tom look up in surprise as if he expected Lanie to know who Tord was.
"Well...he...he was my...friend...and he...cared more than anyone...I hated him for a while but...now I feel like he's the only one I can trust...and his eyes...well...eye...its so beautiful...that silver grey color! And the way his hair makes the pointy shape that I used to think was stupid but now it's kinda cute and-" Tom looked over to see Lanie smirking at him.
"What?!" "You like this Tord guy don't you Tom?" Lanie asked making an intense cat face.
Tom turned a bright red. "E-Erm Uh! N-No!" Tom said looking away.
"You doooo!" Lanie said with excitement.
Tom sighed and looked back up with a soft smile. "You know...maybe I do...so what is that wrooong Lanie?" Tom said, obviously teasing.
"Wuuuut nuuuuu! I think its cuuute! Tord sounds like he would be perfect for ya!" Lanie said with a bright smile.
Tom sighed again. "I wonder what he's doing right now..."


//With Tord//


Tord sat on his bed staring out the window. He was thinking about Tom but...at the same time he was thinking about Gray.
"What's going on with me!" Tord yelled as he tried to get Gray out of his head. He knew he should be trying to figure out how to get Tom back but...Gray was clouding all his thoughts.
"Dammit Gray get out of my head!" Tord yelled.

"Well jeez sorry! Can't really help what YOU think mister!" Gray said sitting on the other side of the bed. Tord probably jumped 3 feet when Gray spoke.
"Gray I swear to god I'm gonna shoot you if you keep doing that!" Tord yelled. Gray stared at him with an offended face with his hand over his chest, obviously fake.
"I am sooo sorry! Too soon?" Tord asked which made Gray chuckle.
"It's fine it's fine!" Gray said trying to stop his light laughter. (If you didn't understand that when Tord said I'll shoot you well...remember...Tord already shot Gray...and killed him....remember OuO)

"N-No I-I'm really sorry I didn't m-mean to say that I-I" Tord said obviously trying to hold back tears.
"Woah woah Tord it's okay! I was joking! Don't cry what the fuck!?" Gray said putting his hands on Tord's shoulders.
Tord's sobs turned to laughter as he looked up laughing which left Gray confused.
"HA! Gotcha!" Tord said as he laughed more making Gray smile and roll his eyes.
"Dammit Tord you had me worried! I thought I'd made you cry!" Gray said taking a breath of relief.
Tord made a hmmmm noise before poking Gray in the side which made him jump.
"Yooooo! Noooo! We do not do all that man!" Gray said backing up.
Tord smiled evily before starting to poke at Gray's sided and tickle his stomach and such. Gray laughed nonstop which made Tord laugh as well.
"Haha! I will make YOU cry this time!" Tord yelled as he pinned Gray down and ticked his sides some more.
They laughed some more before Gray grabbed Tord's hands and turned them to where Gray was now on top of Tord.
Gray had Tord's wrists pinned to the bed as Tord looked up and blushed a cherry red and looked away clearing his throat. Gray looked at the position they were in and blushed as well before getting off of Tord.
"I-I'm sorry I didn't I.." Gray gave up on trying to talk and just sighed looking down in embarrassment.

Tord sat next to Gray and put a hand on Gray's hand. "That...that wasn't the WORST position to be in ya know! Everyone gets in situations like that...it's completely ok...in all honesty I was the one to get on you first sooo...it was really my fault." Tord said with a small sweet smile.
Gray looked at Tord and couldn't help but smile as well even chuckling a bit.
"You're a dork ya know that!" Gray said, still chuckling.
"Nah! You're the dork!" Tord said winking at Gray. "I mean you ARE the person that pinned me to the bed..." Tord said with a smug look.
"Why are you bringing this back up! I'M not the one making it sexual!" Gray yelled back.
"Who said I was making it sexual?" Tord said with another smug look.

Gray stared for a while before turned red again. He looked away and growled. "I hate you so much!"
"Awww you know you love me!"
"I do?"
Tord rolled his eyes and huffed. "As in platonic man!"
"O-Oh..." Gray said looking down in what was almost disappointment.
Tord laughed a bit before leaning his head on Gray's shoulder and sighing looking at the stars outside.
Gray blushed and slowly put his hand around Tord's hip and pulled him closer. 

They stared at the stars for a bit before Gray realized Tord had fallen asleep.
He chuckled a bit before slowly leaning Tord down on the bed and covered him up. He smiled. He hesitated a bit before kissing Tord on the cheek and smiling his sweet smile.
"Goodnight Tordie..." Gray said as he walked out the room and quietly shut the door.

Tord opened one of his eyes and chuckled turning to the side to face the window.

"Goodnight Gray..."
