Eddsworld Tord x reader - Strangely Sweet

Sweet Realization and a Side of Surprise

I woke up sort of late the next day, at around 10 A.M. I had no clue how I got there, so I assumed it was the work of the one filling up my mind: Tord. He was in my mind, and only him. I picked up my stuffed F/A, the one I had gotten from him. I hugged it close, and then, against my will, I imagined that it was him. My eyes widened and I blushed, loosening a bit. I didn't let go, though. I didn't deny it; a part of me wished it WAS him. I...these feelings of warmth and happiness I get just by hearing his voice or seeing that stupid grin of his...the way I get all giddy and excited when I feel him...I think I might...love him. I know we only met a few days ago, but I can't help it...he's kind to me, he listens, acts like a total gentleman, a huge sweetheart when he wants to be, and as a bonus, he's hot as Hell. Can anyone really blame me?

I fell back onto my bed, sitting, and checked my phone. I had a few texts, so naturally, I went into them. A bunch from Tord, one from Edd, and one from an unknown number. I went into Edd's first.

Hey, when you wake up, breakfast is in the microwave! ^w^

I smiled. He was so nice. I decided to check the unknown next, thinking to 'save the best for last'.

Hey, can you please make your commie boyfriend shut up? He's worried.

I blushed, instantly knowing this was Tom. I set him as a contact, and then instantly went into Tord's messages, reading them over.

Good morning Y/N. You up yet?

I'll take that as a no. Well when ur up, Edd made breakfast.

Did u sleep well? Feeling ok?

Pls answer when you wake up, Milady.

I was smiling wide. I answered.

Good morning Tord! Sorry for sleeping so late. Yeah, Edd told me. And I slept pretty good, thank you! I'm feeling a lot better. Just have a little headache, nothing serious. No need to worry!

I waited for a few moments, looking out my window, expecting a message. What I got was unexpected; a knock on the door. "Come in!" I called, turning to look. The door opened, revealing a smiling Tord, carrying a cup and a tiny box. "Good morning, Milady!" he said cheerfully. My eyes widened slightly at him, but I smiled back. "Morning!" I said, as cheerfully as he. Then I turned my attention to what he was holding. "What's that?" I asked. He walked over to me and handed me the items. "Painkillers." he said. "For your head." I smiled bigger. "Oh! Well then, thank you!" I said, and then swallowed down a pill from the box with the help of the water. He nodded. "Don't mention it." I then lowered the cup, and looked at him with a sweet smile. "I really do appreciate it, though. Not just this specific thing...but everything you do for me. It means a lot." I finished. God, I was just letting my heart out, wasn't I? Tord was looking surprised, and blushing a faint red. He took the items from me, and quickly ran out to put them back, and ran back in within seconds. "Wow...didn't know it meant that much. Uh, you're welcome!" he said, stuttering slightly. I giggled. He looked sort of flustered. An awkward silence soon broke out, and after a moment, I rolled my eyes. "Oh, for the love of..." I trailed off, motioning for Tord to come closer to me. After hesitating for a moment, he did, standing sort of above me. I pulled him down slightly, and enveloped him in a hug. His eyes widened and he let out a silent gasp, but he hugged back after a moment, blushing and smiling. I, on the other hand, was smiling big and enjoying this. This specific hug felt really good... And it continued to feel good until we were interrupted.

We weren't interrupted by a person, per say, but by a message on my phone. The beeping sound it made sort of jumpscared both of us, making me let go and him almost fall on me. He didn't though, he jumped back quickly. I turned to grab my phone, annoyed to be interrupted. Tord, trying to not look embarrased, looked out his window as I opened my phone. My annoyance quickly faded once I saw who it was. Going into Messenger, I read it fully.

Heya sis! Howsit going so far?

Oh jeez. It was Aaron.

Now, don't get that reaction wrong, I loved my brother. He was funny and good to be around, and heck, he's the one who made it so I could live with the guys here. But there was a downside to this. He NEVER messages me first unless he has something important to tell me. And important texts normally aren't good. Not wanting to ignore him though, I quickly replied.

Oh, heya bro! I'm doing good here. I love it here, actually!

I knew he was just building up to tell me whatever news he had.

That's great! Glad to hear it.

Wait for it...

Hey, uh, I just wanted to let you know that I'm coming over today! Can you tell Edd that? I kinda lost his number.

There it was. Huh, I was expecting something...worse.  But it turns out, he's just coming over today!

Oh, is that it? I can't wait to see you! Yeah, I'll tell him. What time are you coming over?

I waited a few moments.

Thanks! Around 1.

Got it! See ya then!

See ya Y/N!

I set down my phone, smiling big and getting up. And then almost falling again because Tord scared me. He didn't do anything wrong, I just forgot he was in there. He looked at me. "Who was that?" he asked simply. I regained myself. "It was my brother! He's coming over today!" I said cheerfully. He looked a bit worried at that, and said nothing. I noticed. "Something wrong?" I asked, cocking my head to the side. "Uh..." he started. "Your brother...isn't exactly fond of me..." he finished. I was surprised. "Really?" I asked. He nodded. This confused me. Why wouldn't Aaron like him? He was so nice...

"Well, uh, anyways..." I started after a moment, "we should go downstairs. I need to tell Edd, and me wants food!" I said good-humoredly. He chuckled and nodded. "Alright then. I'll leave so you can change. See ya downstairs." he said, and then went downstairs. I smiled and watched him go, and then shut my door. Thinking, I went over to my dresser, picking out clothes. I thought about why my brother wouldn't like Tord for a few minutes longer, before pushing that thought away, and just being happy for today. It might just be me, but I have a good feeling that today is gonna be great!
