★fallen star★ [tomtord]

star dust

//one week later//

tom woke up in the middle of the night again. he had a surprise for the flower-child.

he put on some sweatpants and jumped out the window again, hitting the bushes and approaching the boy.

"hello, tom!"

"hello tord. i have something to show you."

"you do? are we going to go on a midnight adventure?"

"yes."

tord bounded up, his eyes blazing with excitement. 

"count me in!"

"lets go then!"

tom grabbed his hand and lead him to the forest.

"where are we going?"

"shh."

they finally arrived in a small clearing.

"this place?"

"yes. i noticed it a few days after i moved in. i thought you might like to check it out."

"its beautiful."

"its a great place to watch the stars."

tom turned to the sky, the stars reflecting in his eyes.

"your eyes look like star dust."

/////

tord woke up the next night to realize something.

he was in love.

helplessly in love.

in love with who?

that boy.

that one boy.

the one boy that changed his life.

ever since he moved in, he wanted someone to be able to talk to about his depression.

but it looked like he didn't need to anymore.

tom had helped him so much realize that he wasn't just a pawn.

he used to cut himself.

he still continued to do so when he had an attack.

but not so much anymore.

he was in love.

helplessly in love.

he had to ask.

/////  

tom woke up and put on a nebula sweatshirt. it was his favorite and the most beautiful one.

why?

he didn't know.

he just had a feeling that today was the day.

tom jumped out of the window to go see tord. he was standing, waiting for him.

"hello tord!"

"hi tom. can i talk to you?"

"uh. sure."

they sat down together. tom's hand found tords.

"tom.. i... i.."

"you..?"

"i love you."

tom sat there, shocked while he continued. 

"ever since i met you, i knew i  loved you. i can't help it anymore. i love you and i want to become a fallen star with you, tom. i want to be able to love you forever so we're never apart."

"i... im not ready.. i never.. i love.."

tord stood up.

"just.. think about it, okay?"

"okay."

"goodnight, nebula-boy."

"see you flower-child."

"see you, star-dust."

before tom could answer, tord ran off.

star-dust?

did he really love him that much?
