Dear Daughter [TomTord]

Understand This Pain

+Red Army Base+

"Honey, I need some supplies from the Red City..."

"Ah, so it's that time again?"

Tord looks up from his papers over to Tom's desk which is stationed by the door.

Long before Tika got her room, Tord suggested Tom should share his office with him so Tom wouldn't have to keep going back and forth between rooms. So basically, Tom moved into the red hall way of the Leaders section of the base, the red hall way becoming Tom and Tord's area while the blue hallway became the children's area.

"I just a need a few special supplies is all... again." Tom says with a small blush tinting his cheeks.

Tord hums with a smooth smirk gracing his lips, "Pry tell what these items are? You never tell me why you need them nor do you even let your soldier go pick it up for you." His husband [wife] for the past three years has been going to and from the main Red Army dominated city doing something. Tom never showed any physical evidence of what he's doing there either since he never brings anything home, aside from the occasional souvenirs for the children.

"It's a secret." Tom chuckles as he gets out of his seat to go over to his husband. He slides himself onto Tord's lap and gives him a couple of kisses which Tord returns as he holds Tom by the hips. "So can you please give me your permission to go."

"Well..."

"Otherwise I'll take bed privileges away again." Tom said with a sweet smile that promised no hesitation.

At that moment Tord could feel a cold sweat go down his back. "You can go Thomas." There is no way he's gonna deny Tom when he's threatening bed privileges, unless only if the situation is dangerous or dire.

The blue leader wraps his arms around Tord neck and hugs him with love and thanks. "Thanks love, I'll be back as soon as I can." Tom thought for a moment about the teens. "Do you think you can watch over the kids while I'm gone?"

"Of course, I doubt anything could go wrong. I took care of Torm and Tomi before on my own." Tord says with confidence.

"You do know that was when they were still little, right? We have our sons, our daughter, Asher, and Will now." Tom reminds hoping mentally things won't be so bad but... he shook his head. "You know what, I'll just clear your schedule for the next few day while I'm gone."

"Min kajær-"

"No Tord, I want your full focus on the children. You know I do a routinely check up on them throughout the day. I can't do that when I'm over there at the Red City." Tom holds his husband's face with both hands on either side of Tord's face. His green eyes soften a bit with worry, "Please Tord, you also need a break from work. It's about time you spend time with your family."

"What's family when your going to the Red City to do something I'm unaware of?"

Tord brings his hands of his partner's hips to hold Tom's wrists. "How about we do this instead? I book us a place to stay in the Red City for awhile. The both of us, plus Torm, Tomi, and Tika can have family time touring the city. They've never been outside the base to travel, this should be a great opportunity."

Tom smiles at the idea, "You're right! But..." Thinking his husband might try to follow him on the thing he needs to do.

"Don't worry, I won't follow you to see what your doing when you go out to do whatever." Tord leans forward to press a kiss on his cheek.

"I trust you."

Tom can't help but love his husband more if it was any more possible. His eyes turn pink looking at Tord longer.
