Stuck In The middle(Tom X reader X Tord)

The truth (Part two)

I didn't know what to think. Everything was just swirling in my head like an endless tornado. How cine the man I (somewhat) trusted turn out to be the same man that caused... This to happen to me? Sure, my father was the one to do it but red leader ordered it. I covered my face with my arm, letting out a sigh. I had no idea what I was going to do. Was Tord the same person as red leader? No.... It couldn't be. I sat up, thinking a late night walk would do me some good. Slipping on some shoes, I pulled on my (f/c) hoodie and quietly snuck out of the house and into the night. It was slightly cold, but nice. I let my feet take me wherever since I had no idea where I wanted to go. After an hour of walking, I noticed that I was at the park. I sat on a bench near a streetlight, the light softly illuminating the surrounding area. I exhaled, allowing myself to relax. I was fine. No crazy leaders from the future were gonna come to the past and mess up what I had going on here. But he already showed up once. So has people from my past. What was next? My future self? God, this was not going how I wanted it to. I wanted to escape! I wanted everything to be okay! But Fate (like always) has other plans. I wanted to confront Tord about being red leader. Well, the "mild" version(as mild as a psychopath can get) at least. How did I not put two and two together? Maybe because I was high off my mind at the time because of all the medicine the scientists gave me caused me to hallucinate. This was not helping.
"I figured you would be here." A voice shot me out of my own head, I looking up to see the owner.
"Tord." My voice was steady.
"What are you doing out and about so late?" He asked, sitting beside me.
"I could ask you the same thing." That got a chuckle out of him. Damn, if I wasn't so terrified of him I'd call him cute.
"Well, I'll be honest. I was hoping you'd be out here. There is something I need to know from you."
"W-what is it?" I asked, now shaking a bit. There goes my tough girl façade. He scooted over so our waists touched, and our faces were inches apart. I half expected him to kiss me, as his hand was on my leg.
"Don't be scared, min kjærlighet. I only ask a simple question."
My breathing was heavy, I trying hard to focus on him.
"How long have you known my secret?" He asked.
"What secret?"
"Do not play stupid. Paul is very loyal to me." His voice deepened, no longer the soft, gentle one I was used to.
"Look, I don't get why you're so concerned with me! I'm just a simple girl from a simple town whose life got ruined by her father!"
"Oh nothing about your life Is simple. Echo is more than enough proof of that."
When he said her name it was like a shot to the chest. Paul was right. I was right! This was... Or is red leader. My fists balled, anger sparking in me. Tord must've noticed my eyes flickering back and forth between the normal (e/c) and purple. He let out a small laugh.
"Oh dear (y/n). I'm not here to fight. Actually, my plans have evolved to stage two. So our... " relationship " has to be postponed until I come back for you. "
"What the hell are you talking about?"
"I'm leaving. And I can't have you spilling the beans to everyone, can I?"
"You're gonna kill me."
"I would never harm you."
"Then why? Why turn me into a monster?"
"You're not a monster." He said, almost at a whisper. He then pressed his lips against mine, I trying so hard not to give in. After a split second, he broke away and smiled.
"Jeg elsker deg." He whispered before a flash of light blinded me, and became unconscious.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Something loud woke me up, I looking over at the culprit. It was my cell phone. I grabbed it, I missed a call from tom. I then noticed the Time, it being after 11. I must've been up late to sleep in like this. My phone buzzed again, this time a text from Tom.
-You up for a jam session?
I thought about it, and responded:
-Sure. Be over in 10
I jumped up, and quickly dressed in jeans, a (f/c) tee with black boots and ran a brush through my matted hair before popping a mint in my mouth. I grabbed my guitar and walked out the door, not noticing that one of my clothes hangars was empty. With 3 minutes to spare I knocked on Edd's door, the brunette himself answering.
"Hey (y/n). Come in."
"Why thank you." I nodded, walking inside. Matt was currently checking himself out (as usual), and tom was nowhere to be seen.
"You here for Tord, right?" Edd asked from behind me, walking beside me to sit on the couch next to Matt.
"No. Why would I?" I asked.
"Well because..."
"Because what, edd?" The voice of tom entered the conversation, the man himself standing in the entryway to the hallway. Man. I haven't noticed it until now but tom was... Cute. He was in a "stay safe" tee and blue jeans, complete with his checkered vans.
"N-nevermind."
"No. Tell me. The bastard's not here anymore, so-"
"Tord's gone?" I asked. I didn't know much about him, everything regarding him was fuzzy. All I knew was that he lived here, and that tom hated his guts.
"Yeah. Left early this morning." Edd said, "He didn't tell you?"
"No."
"Well anyways, I'll get it out of you later, edd. (Y/n) and I have a jam session to attend, so don't bug us." He said grabbing me by the hand and pulling me to the room. Once we both walked in, I sat my guitar down and proceeded to take it out but tom stopped me.
"Hey, (y/n)?"
"Yeah?" I asked in return, looking over at him. We were both sitting on the floor, his hand gently on mine.
"You ever... Like someone? But afraid to admit it?"
"Whoa. Where is this coming from?"
"I... I don't know. These past few weeks have been strange."
"I'll agree with you there, but Tom, if I know anything about you, I can tell that you aren't one to back down. So don't be afraid, okay?" I said, he sighing and closing his eyes. Then I noticed him leaning towards me, and I knew exactly what was going to happen. But I didn't stop it. His lips softly pressed against mine, his grip on my hand growing tighter. It lasted a few seconds and he opened his eyes to see mine full of surprise.
"I shouldn't hav- mmph!" He exclamined as I kissed him back with full force, causing us to topple with me on top of him. This kiss lasted longer and was more intense. I didn't know why I did it. Something in my head probably influenced it. Maybe it was something else. The need for air caused us to separate, but I was still straddling him.
"Uh, (y/n)?"
"Yes Tom?"
"You... You're the person I like."
"No shit, captain obvious."
"What's obvious is that you like me back."
"Duh." I said, he flipping us over so he was on top of me, my legs still bent and on either side of his waist. He then kissed me again, we now both sure of our feelings. The moment was short lived, however, since someone cleared their throat beside us. We both looked up to see edd in the doorway, shaking his head.
"If you two are gonna make out, at least close the door so the rest of us don't have to see."
"Sorry edd." I said sheepishly, tom sighing and getting up only to close the door in Edd's face. I sat up, tom looking at me.
"So much for not bugging us." He sighed, I smiling, happier than I've been in a long time.
