Dear Daughter [TomTord]

Comfort

+Norway: Red Army Base+

Torm ran down the hallway and caught up to Tom about to exit the lobby of their living quarters. He ran up behind his mother to hug him tightly

"Mother."

Tom turns around to face him with a smile. "Torm, is there something you need from me?"

The devil hybrid was shaken up by the events that had transpired moments ago. His body shaking much to Tom's knowledge while the teen held him.

The leader in blue turns around in Torm's hold to hug him back. Running his hand through the caramel locks of the hybrids hair while his other hand rubbed Torm's back up and down.

Torm hid his face in the crook of his mother's neck.

"Shh... It's alright. Come with me, I'd like to speak with you for a moment."

The devil teen uncovers his face to look at Tom. He silently follows the man to the blue hallway, where the two of them go into Torm and Tomi's shared room. Once the two of them have gone into the room, Tom locks the door behind them.

"Really now Torm, you're being too emotional for me." Tom chuckles as crosses his arms over his chest.

Torm spoke, "Mother, you remember me?" He could have sworn his mother forgot about him like he did with Tika and Tomi from what he heard earlier.

His mother surprisingly chuckles and hugs him around the neck. "I would never forget my children."

Torm hugs his mother back tightly and grips onto the black fabric of his vest. He buries his faces against the crook of Tom's neck once again as he takes in the comforting scent of mint and blueberries.

"But I thought you erased all your memories... I was scared you completely forgot about us..."

"Why would I want to forget the ones I love the most?" Tom pulls back from the hug so he could look at his son. "I love my family too much to do that to all of you."

Tom hadn't actually erased his memories at all. He just messed with his googles to make it seem like he used the Emergancy mind wipe drive on his goggles to scare Tord.

"Torm, I need you to listen to me." His voice firm and serious. "You can't tell your Father I never erased my memories." A pleading expression tells Torm his request is important.

"But what about Tomi and Tika?"

Tom shows him a smile even if it's a bit painful. "You can let your younger sibling in on what I'm doing, but you have to tell them they can't mention this to Tord. Please, I..." His green eyes fade into blue, "I just can't deal with him right now."

"I don't understand Mother... What's going on between you and Father? Why are you two fighting?" His tone full of concern and worry.

Tom caresses the side of his son's face with a sad smile. "Oh Torm... I wish I could tell you. I wish with all my heart you could understand, but you can't because you're still so young." He kisses his son's forehead lovingly and hugs him close that Torm's head rests on his shoulder. "I hope and wish this never happens to you or your siblings in the future."

Torm couldn't say anything. While he may be smart, he wasn't too smart to know certain details of relationships between romantic partners.

"Did Father do something really bad?"

The feeling of Tom hugging him tighter tells him yes. Torm being an inch taller than Tom, but still not taller than Tord, leans down a bit to nuzzles his face against his mother's neck.
