Tords POV
Things have been pretty... bad. Between me and Thomas. It's been a couple of weeks since I brought him here to the base with me, and I have yet to get closer to him. He just avoids me, and while I can't blame him, it still hurts. We used to be very close to each other, and I miss what we had... I wish I never messed things up between us.
I look down at the picture of me and Tom a few years ago, before I left. We look so happy here... I set it down and get up from my seat, and leave my office, heading towards the cafeteria.
3rd POV
When Tord got to the cafeteria, he headed towards the kitchen line to receive his tray of food. As he looked around, he spotted Tom from the corner of his eye, sitting at a table with a few people and eating. he looked like he was having a decent time with them. Tord smiled a little and watched him for a bit before turning his attention back to the line, moving up to get his food.
Tord received his tray of food and headed to a separate table nearby, taking glances at tom and his table as he ate his meal of fruits, mashed potatoes, salmon, and peas.
After a while, Tom and a few guys he was with got up with their empty trays and went to dump them in the trash, joking around a bit and being quite friendly.
Tord watched and a small pang of jealousy pierced through his chest. He and Tom used to joke around like that too... He sighed and poked at his peas before he got up and went to dump his tray as well.
Tom laughed and shook his head, "Antonio you're a liar and you know it-" He snickered.
Antonio, a tall, brown-skinned man with dark hair gelled back with a small beard and mustache, shrugged and nudged him, "never know until you try it, Thomas~" he joked and wiggled his eyebrows at him.
Tom laughed again and smacked his arm, waving before he walked off to his own room. He had a good day today. His new friend here, Antonio, was really nice, and funny as well. He enjoyed his company and reminded him of Edd... He missed his friends. He missed Edds stupid jokes and Matt's dumb remarks. He missed their adventures together, and the movie nights they would have... he hoped they were okay. He sighed and undid his tie, sitting on his bed and looking down at the ground. Ever since he got here, his main task has been to avoid Tord, and to find a way to escape. So far, he's been doing a good job at avoiding Tord, and he's very proud of it too. He just needs to find a way out of here...
As Tom started to think about his potential escape options, he heard a knock at his door. He got up and went to answer it, "hello?" He asked.
Tord was standing outside Tom's door, his cheeks were flushed a light pink and he reeked of alcohol. "Tom.."
