Tord woke up lying on the couch and feeling parched, like most mornings he sat there for a moment, looking at the roof above him and questioning his life's choices. Only to feel the dry sensation in his throat, he was parched, he needed water.

He finally got up and made his way over to the kitchen, trying his hardest to stay focused on what was ahead of him. His vision tended to be blurry most mornings so he'd try to stay as focused as much as possible to avoid clumsily falling over everything.

Eventually he reached the kitchen and opened the cupboard, only to find a note from Edd, by now his vision was returning so it wasn't that hard to read. "Dear Tord / Tom" it said. "Me and Matt have gone to the store to get some more food, there's some leftover cookies in the pantry and water in the tap. Be home soon -best wishes, Edd"

Tord sighed, great no food, and worst of all tord dosent really eat cookies. at least he was home alone with Tom, that should make him easier to talk to. He turned and shut the cupboards after graping an empty glass from the left cabinet. He went over to the tap and poured himself as class of water before quenching his thirst with the cold liquid, 'that feels better'.

Meanwhile Tom woke up with a headache. He sat up and sighed before looking at the curtains, only to stare into the blazing light, blinding him and only making his headache worse. He pulled off the covers feeling the need to get ready, he'd decided yesterday after the interaction with Edd that he'd try harder to get up in the mornings.

After some trouble of trying to get untangled from the sheets he managed to make his way over to the mirror placed on the wall ubove his desk. He sighed closing his eyes after looking upon his reflection, one of his unhuman features was sticking out the top of his head. No wonder the covers wouldn't let go.

He turned and walked away toward his cupboard where all his hoodies hung, after some trouble with the horns on his head he managed to get a clean hoodie on. Great. 'Now to deal with the horns' he thought to himself, yawning as he did so. Man he felt tired, but that's what happens when you get night terrors in the middle of the night.

Suddenly he heard the sound on the stairway creaking, 'God dam it not now' he thought to himself making his way to the door and double checking if it was locked. That's when he heard his voice through the door, "Hey uh Tom?" He didn't answer the commie. "Tom I know your in there", he repeated Tom's name.

"What do you want tord?" he replied with anger lingering in his voice, Tom quickly realized that his temper was rising so he quickly made his way away from the door. "Matt and Edd aren't home, and uh, I wanted to talk" tom didn't answer that one. No wonder Edd didn't practically yell in his ear this morning.

"Tom?" No way was he letting tord in here anyways, he didn't trust him at all, why was he acting so caring anyways?. "Tom I'm coming in whether you like it or not" tom caught that one, he felt the hairs on the back of his neck rise as the commie fiddled with the door handle.

He quickly made his way to his cupboard and shut the door incase tord made it in, and in this case he actualy did. Tord opened the door to Tom's darkened room and switched on the light, Tom almost hissed at the blinding light but he somehow managed to hold his tounge. Tord glanced around the room and shut the door behind him before looking at he closet door intently. "Tom I know your in there" he calmly after sighing deeply.

"Go away" tom replied as tord walked closer toward his position, tord however did not head his advice and continued going. Tom's anger was rising, he could change at any second now. "Tom please come out" Tord Said trying to open the door but tom held it shut. He didn't want tord to see him like this. Tord sighed again "tom pleas-" "Why do you care so much?!" Tom asked loudly.

Tord paused, he didn't know what to say for a moment there, he couldn't tell tom the truth. "Because I just do ok?" He stated avoiding the question. Tom basically lost it at this point, he opened the door before pouncing on tord and pinning him to the ground. Tord looked at tom wide eyed, this was not the tom he knew.

He basically has purple horns along with fluffly claw-like hands, his teeth were also pretty sharp to be honest, he also had a tail, it was purple too like most of the other odd features on him. Tord's eyes flashed with fear, "no you don't" tom said what almost game out as a growl. "Y-yes I do" Tord stated as tom held his neck between his claws.

Tom looked into his eyes, "no you don't, you probably just see me like they all do, like im a... I-im a.." he suddenly realized his grip off tord and curled up into a ball crying. "Im a monster" At this point tord sat up and rubbed his neck before looking at tom who was now a crying mess before him.

Tom was about to get up and run but suddenly he felt a warm embrace upon him, he opened his eyes to see tord hugging him. He felt a little shocked but at the same time he closed his eyes again and cried out on Tord's shoulder, hugging him back. Tord rubbed circled on his back and ruffled his hands through Tom's hair.

The two sat like this for what seemed like twenty minutes until tom stopped crying, tord then lifted him of him and looked into his eyes, "feel better?" He asked. Tom looked away unsure of how he felt, "Tom look at me" Tord said catching his attention. He glared back into Tord's eyes as he spoke, "you are not a monster, don't ever call yourself that again.. ok?" Tord Said as he pulled tom into another hug.

Tom sat there for a moment thinking before answering with one word...






















"Ok.."
