My sweetie (Eddsworld)

3. Not getting along

Tord's POV:

I woke up in an unfamiliar place. It was dark and I couldn't see much. I just saw my bear next to me. I tried not to panic, just waited. When my eyes finally adjusted to the darkness around me, I saw that I was in a different room than before.

The lights were turned off and I saw nobody. And that was when I heard someone snore beside me. I smiled when I saw daddy! I didn't know, how I got here, but at least I wasn't completly alone and by myself. Not that I would be scared to be alone obviously!

I poked daddy's face gently, smiling. "Daddy? Dad!" He just let out a weird noice. I pecked his lips, not giving up. "Daaaaddy!" I whined. He didn't move. I rolled my eyes and decided to go for plan B.

I carefully stood up on the bed we were laying on and looked down at my papa who was still fast asleep. 'Okay, three, two, one, NOW!' I jumped right on him and yelled "WAKE UP!" He screamed from shock and suprise as he pushed me off the bed. I fell right on my head.

"Oww..." I held my head in pain and saw dad look down at me with a confused expression. "Tord, what were you doing? Why did you wake me up!?" He yelled at me, sounding like he was angry... I stood up and looked away. "I-I got scared.." I answered quietly.

He looked at the time. "It's probably really early in the mor-wait, it's 9 am already?" I tilted my head. "What is 'am'?" I asked him. "It means that it's in the morning." "Oh!" I giggled when I saw him stand up. He stretched as I ran towards the door and tried to reach the handle. But I was way too small.

I jumped and tried to grab it, but failed. I didn't even touch the handle and I couldn't handle the truth. (I'm sorry, I had to.) I heard my dad laugh as he just grabbed it and opened the door. I ran out of the room, deciding to go downstairs.

But I didn't know, what I was thinking. I didn't even notice the stairs that were right in front of me. I knew dad saw it, but he didn't say anything. No warning. I tripped and fell down. Thankfully, there was not that many stairs.

I heard a gasp from another room and saw Eddie. When he saw me, he ran up to me. I heard daddy laugh when he went downstairs. I looked up at him. "H-hey, that hurts!" I said, kind of confused and hurt that he was laughing at my pain.

Eddie glared at him. "Are you okay?" He asked me. I nodded. He gave me a soft smile when he picked me up and carefully carried me to what looked like a kitchen. There was one thing stuck on my mind. If Tommie was my daddy, who were Eddie and Mattie?

Matt's POV:

I was eating breakfast, Edd made us pancakes. He walked into the kitchen, carrying the small kid. It was Tord! Little Tordle! I smiled and stood up. He smiled at me. "Morning!" He said, his voice was adorable! He was adorable!

I chuckled. "Morning to you too!" I answered him. Edd was glaring at Tim who stood there, his arms crossed and he was glaring at Tord. But why? "Is something wrong, Tim?" I asked him. I got a responce from Edd instead. "Tord fell down the stairs and Tom just laughed at him!"

I gasped and glared at Tim as well. Well, Edd was calling him Tom, but he probably just couldn't remember his name right! I looked at Tordie with a concerned look. "Did you hurt yourself from that fall?" He shook his head. "I okay!" He said.

I crossed my arms when I looked back at Tim. "Tim! Why did you laugh at Tord when he fell down!? He could really hurt himself seriously!" I said, raising my voice. He didn't answer, just looked away and mumbled something under his breath.

Edd rolled his eyes. "Matt, it's Tom. Not Tim. And Tom, I want answers." Tim groaned. "It's not my fault he's clumsy and stupid!" He snapped. Tord gasped, covering his mouth... "Tim! Can you just stop being so rude to Tord? He never did anything to you!" I yelled back at him.

Tord looked away from him, staying silent. He hugged Edd tighter and hid his face. Tim groaned. "Look, sorry, okay?" He apologized. But even I knew it wasn't really and he didn't mean it. But it seemed like it was enough to Tord.

"Is okay..." He said, giving Tim a small smile. Edd came closer to Tim and handed him Tord. I didn't really trust Tim that much after what happened a while ago... How could somebody do that to a small child? He was still my friend, of course, but I had to keep an eye on him in case he did something to Tord again.

Tim backed away when Edd tried giving him Tord. "Come on, Tom! Tord loves you, can't you see that? He just wants to be friends!" Edd tried convincing him. "But... Isn't Tom daddy?" Tordie asked Edd.

I saw Tim freeze. Or was it really Tom? Nah. "What!? I'm not your father!" "...But you were there... You were hugging me, I love you, dad!" Tord said, wanting to hug Tim again. Edd motioned Tim to accept the hug and Tim gave in. He took Tord and let him hug him.

Tord seemed happier when Tim allowed that. Tim, on the other side, seemed to be annoyed with him... Edd came up to me, having a worried and concerned expression on his face. I tilted my head. "What's wrong, Edd?" I asked him.

He looked at the two and back at me. "Matt, don't you think Tord can be in danger thanks to this..?" He asked, whispering. "Huh? What do you mean by that?" I whispered back at him. He grabbed my arm and dragged me out of the room.

"Don't you get it? If Tord thinks Tom is his dad, Tom can use him! I mean, I hope he won't do that, but Matt, he hates Tord... But Tord was always kind of stronger than him... He would win fights almost all the time... But now that Tord is...well...weaker now, Tom can use that... He can..." He looked down. "Hurt him..."

I didn't have anything to say. He was right, even though I didn't want that to happen... We just needed to keep an eye on him... And that, that wasn't so hard right? Right? I sighed, giving Edd a small nod.

"You're right, Edd. We just need to be careful. Really careful.."
