A Taste of the Past (Tom X Tord)

What A Day

Tom's POV

                                                                                      12:30 p.m.

                                                                                Tom's Bedroom

 
            I groan as my aching body starts to move, it having not had a good sleep like it just had in a while. I rub my left eye, blinking the sleep out of the other socket. I catch a glimpse of the time and gasp. Fuck! I was supposed to be up hours ago to help Edd set up Matts room. I then look to my body, seeing my desperate mess from the night before on the warm red pullover, deciding they could do without me for one day. I get up and go out into the silent, and empty apartment, collecting my flask off of the couch. Out of the corner of my vision, I see a scrap of paper on the floor. I sleepily glide over to the note and pick it up, reading it.

 "Dear Tom,

I meant to tell you yesterday that I was planning a party for Tord. He had contacted me right before I came over to you place. He wants me to ensure you show up, so weather you like it or not, you are coming to my place for the party. If you mess up this gathering by yelling or leaving again, I will find you and drag you back. This is about him, not you. I want you to put aside your hate of him to try and fix the relationship between the two of you.

 Sorry if that sounded mean, I am just trying to give myself the pepp talk that I wrote for you as well. He hurt my trust in him, as well as Matt, but I want us to be like how we use to be..... I want us all to be happy together.

 See you at 7

 Edd and Matt"


 My face was drained of color, as well as having shaking hand, I try to understand the fact it didn't take him that long to try and fix things. He was gone for years before what makes this time different? I think to myself as I go to make coffee to kick start my day.

 ~Time Skip ~

 I get out of the shower, drying my hair. The time is only 5 p.m.but I am taking the time to prepare myself to see the son of a bitch again. I already have been hitting the bottle hard, but that isn't even the worst of all this. My brain has been swooning over him since I read the note from earlier. I am now frustrated to hell and back, but I am also trying to remind myself that he tried to kill me! I am using the alcohol as a in case my face is red from seeing him, that as far as they know I am drunk, like usual. I am soon dressed in my normal clothes, my hoodie just sitting beside me as I watch television. I change the channel and the familiar movie theme started playing. 'I haven't heard that since he was here....' I growl as the heat of being angry drains into a lusty heat in my gut, my body already wound up and I have about an hour and half before the party. I jump when my phone goes off. It was only Edd, he had messaged me to go get cola and snacks. I smile as I stand up, ' Great, a distraction to pass time and hopefully cool me down. I hurry to grab my blue jacket and bolt out the door, keys in the pocket of the jacket.

 ~Small Time Skip~

 I am pulling into the parking lot of the apartments, having gone to the store, and I slam on the brakes as the spiked hair of the.... no.. my Norwegian are seen in Edds apartment. My body temperature hits the roof as I stare at him, the world seeming to slow down as he laughs at whatever Matt had said. My heart was working its way up my throat, but I was startled when I hear a blaring horn coming from behind me. I quickly snap out of it as I speed to park my car. I get out and grab all the bags at once, quickly moving to not be noticed by Tord that was standing by the window.

 This party is going to change me today, I don't know how, but I won't come out the same as I went in.  

Tord's POV

I laugh as I talked to Matt, joking about my robot arm. I know everyone still has raw feelings from what I did, but I didn't know that I would miss these guys as bad as I did. Tom isn't here, which is good, since he would probably rip me a literal new on if he was. I jump when the honking of impatient drivers started up outside, causing me to turn and look outside. I see Tom get out of his car, hurrying around like he is in a rush. I wonder what he is rushing around for, maybe he will stop by. Edd did ask for cola about an hour ago from him, so maybe that's why. Whatever, not like I really care, he more than likely hates me. I cause myself to flinch at the strong thought of him hating me, not realizing Matt wasn't even standing there talking to me anymore. I walk over to Edd, him sitting on his sofa watching a random show. "Hey Edd, Is Tom coming?" He shrugs as he chugs the last cola, trying to make it seem like he wasn't still sore about the ides about Tord being back. I guess I have to wait to find out... I sigh as I look to the door.
