Tom's P.O.V

I woke up to the blinding light that shined into my eyes through the window. Yawing I stretched and someone tightened there grip on me. I stiffened and panicked a bit. 

Oh shit who the hell did I sleep with this time? And why are we in my room? I never bring someone home with me....

Memories of yesterday hit me like a truck. Tord was back. There was a storm. Tord teased me. Edd made him come comfort me. We watched My Little Pony. I fell asleep. Clenching my jaw at the growing headache, I dared my self to peer over my shoulder to look at the Norwegian man.

Sure enough Tord was sleeping. He snored quietly and his nose twitched. I blushed heavily and tried to pull myself from his grip. Tord mummbled something incoherent and pulled me closer. My face burned as it was only a few centimeters away from his face. My hands where pressed against his chest and our legs were intertwined. This is too much. I have to get away, "Tord!" I screamed.

He jumped and our foreheads smacked into each other, "Ah fuck!" He cursed. Opening his eyes, Tord gave me a look of confusion, "Tom?"

I glared and struggled in his arms, "Let me go you dipshit!"

With a shrug, Tord let go and I fell off the bed. I groaned in pain and I heard Tord snort, "Such an Idiot...I was comfortable and you had to wake me up." Tord sat up and pulled me from the floor.

"You were hugging me like a stuffed animal!" I growled.

Tord smirked, "Well you sure as hell felt like a teddy bear."

I screamed in frustration and threw a pillow at him. He laughed as he dodged the pillow, "Oh come on Tom! Learn what a joke is!" He stood up and ruffled my hair, "I hope this means we have a truce and maybe the start of a new friendship, Tommy."

I shoved his arm away, "Yeah you wish.....You have to prove you wont do something overly stupid again."

Tord raised an eyebrow at me, "Okay then? You said you were a bartender. What bar do you work at? When is your next shift?"

Giving him a weary look I questioned, "Why..?"

"So I can go visit you at work, Idiot." He said with an eye roll.

I shuffled my feat, "My next shift is tonight. I work at a casino/ strip bar called Big Shots. My hours are 9 PM to 3 AM."

Giving me a smile, Tord turned to walk out, "Then i'll see you tonight!"

He closed my door behind him and I fell face first on my bed with a groan.

Tord's P.O.V

I was more than shocked to see Tom so flustered since he woke me up. I couldn't help but to not take him seriously and make jokes. It was rather adorable to see him like that. And as for asking him about his job? I asked so I can spend more time with him. Yes earning back their trust and friendship is a goal for me, but my main goal is to earn Tom's friendship and hopefully more. 

Walking into the kitchen I saw Edd with a cup of coffee and a newspaper, "Mornin' Edd."

He looked at me with a smug look, "Good morning, Tord. The mugs are in there if you want some coffee."

He pointed at a cupboard and continued reading his paper. I grabbed a mug, "Hey choose a different one asshole. That mug is mine." Tom snarled.

I looked at he mug to read 'Don't Mug Me'. I remember this mug. Surprised it survived the explosion, "Oh sorry. I just grabbed one." I handed the mug to him and he took it, "Anything else of yours I'm not allowed to touch?"
