// here is a rp between me and my friend XD
Edd had been in Tom's room, drawing his feeling. His drawings lacked happiness. They lacked emotion. Overtime they gradually got darker.. more depressing. The reason he was in Tom's room was since Tom wasn't home. The nice aroma of his blankets made him feel safe. The neat display of furniture made him feel relieved. He liked this. But he'd never let Tom realize that he had been sneaking off into his room, until-....
A slight creak could be heard from the front door of the house. Tom opened it and stepped inside, sighing thankfully at the warm breeze meeting his face. He made the decision to return home early, a tad inconvenient for the green hoodied boy located in his room. He gently shut the door behind him, applied up his coat onto the rack and began walking toward his room. Noticing the light on, he knocked lightly before entering. "Uh, Edd? Please tell me thats you in there."
Edd gasped. He deliberately didn't answer Tom. He scurried underneath the bed and curled into the tiny ball he was able to. Unfortunately for himself, he accidentally left the green blanket behind onto Tom's bed, giving away that he was most certainly here at one point. The thought escaped his mind and he didn't realize it. He just stayed silent, under the bed.
Tom awaited an answer a moment before opening the door. No response, though he couldve sworn he heard some light scrabbling. He swallowed and gripped the doorknob with a sweaty hand, trying to the best of his ability to push any thoughts of an intrusion to back of his head. Gathering all his bravery, he swung it open and looked around. Everything looked just the same as earlier when he left. It took a moment to do so, but he realized the little green blanket placed on his bed. This could only belong to one person; Edd. He sat down, holding it in his hand for a moment. "Edd, are you awake? This isnt funny, youre really freaking me out dude." He yelled, unaware of the boy underneath his bed. "You left something of yours in my room." He finished.
Edd shivered a bit. He remained silent until he let out a loud whisper. A crash of thunder from outside had startled him. As much as the green hoodied boy hated to admit, thunder was one of his worst fears. His eyes widened and he quickly hit down on his wrist as hard as he could, in order to prevent any more sounds from coming out of his little mouth. There wasn't much of a use though. He had most likely already given himself away to Tom. He did though feel a bit relieved on giving himself away since he was beginning to feel bad on worrying Tom, the person he had been closest to out of their now broken friend group.
Hearing the gasp made Tom jump slightly. He pulled his feet up onto the bed and swung his body around to look under it. There he spotted Edd, laying soundly. A look of pure confusion covers his face, wondering why and how Edd became hidden at such a place. "What the hell are you doing under there all alone? You scared me half to death ya friggen dork." He says while getting off the bed. "Need any help?"
Edd immediately rushed out from under the bed. He launched himself onto Tom and hugged him tightly. "im sorry I come into your room while your gone because I like the smell and looks of it also I'm scared or thunder!" He spoke all in one breath, quickly going wide eyed. His eyebrows arched making him look terribly petrified.
Tom was somewhat shocked at Edds swift reaction. He returned the embrace and allowed all what Edd had said to process in his mind. A certain part brought a rosy color to his cheeks. He decided it was best not to to bring it to attention immediately, in case it would tamper with the moment. "Hey hey, calm down.. No need to worry so much, okay? Im here." He brought him in closer, trying his best to provide any sense of comfort.
Edds face went up In flames, as it grew to be so hot and dark. He practically clung to Tom. Edd was so jittery and anxious now, after what Tord had done. Before he was just your averagely generic guy. But now it was different.. and it didn't help that he drank so much cola each day. That stuff had lots of caffeine in it which gave him insomnia and made his anxiety even worse than it was.
Suddenly, Tom decided he was ready to break the silence. "Look at me." He attempted to lightly place a hand on Edds face, but instead somehow managed to slip, completely knocking Edd backwards onto the floor. "Shit- Im so sorry-" Before he could finish, Tom toppled onto his friend, conveniently managing to place both hands on either side of Edds head. His face heated up simultaneously, as he eyed the cute boy a few inches away from his face.
Edd went to look up at him, and he gasped as he flopped backwards. He let out a tiny kitten like squeak of shock, his arms wrapping around Tom's back. Sort of.. protecting him. Edd slowly blinked, locking up into the dominant looking Tom's eyes nervousness. Edd could feel his heartbeat within his aching stomach. He kept blushing deeply, since the position they were in was quite.. taunting to him.
"I-I.. Um.." Tom stuttered, small beads of sweat pouring down the side of his face. His blushing was out of control at this point. He began shaming himself mentally, for he had no true reason to feel the way he was feeling right now. This wasnt the way its supposed to turn out, he couldnt have feelings for his best friend, could he? Tom couldnt help himself. If only he could read minds and figure out if Edd shared similar feelings.
Edd did share similar feelings. And that was a fact. Though he wouldn't ever suspect for Tom to like him back. Edd pulled Tom down so he would fall on top of him. He gasped for air a bit as he did. He then, pulled him into a nice loving hug. When doing so, he couldn't help himself. He inhaled the lovely scent that Tom wore. It smelt even better Than the room itself.
A wave of surprise washed over Tom in the exhilarating moment. He hugged Edd back tightly, trying to contain his excitement. After a moment he pulled away, in fear of the hug becoming awkward. "Y-you uh.. You alright?" Asked Tom shyly.
Edd unintentionally let out a small whine when Tom pulled away. He then put a hand of his own over his mouth of embarrassment. "I- I'm fine.." Edd mumbled. "I'm sorry.." he sat up, brushing himself off. "I guess I just feel alone sometimes and end up using others to help, because I can't help myself." Edd stated before standing up, grabbing the green blanket and dragging it on the ground, and running to his own bedroom.
A small gasp escaped his lips as Edd exited the room. "Edd, wait!" He was left wondering what caused him to react in such a way. Giving it a moment, he pulled himself up off the floor and followed Edd into his room down the hall. Without knocking, he entered. "What was all that about..?"
Edd looked up towards the doorway, a little aggravated that he had bursted in do abruptly without even taking the time to knock. "Nothing.." He Mumbled in an embarrassed tone, he looked back down at the floor, with himself twirling the edge of his green silk blanket between his index finger, and pointer finger. It was an anxiety, and stress habit. The silk and fluff felt lovely to him and he didn't know why.
Tom rolled his eyes, and with a slightly annoyed tone, said "Oh, come on. Its obviously something, youre being bothered by it." He felt a pang of instant regret for being harsh on his upset friend. "Shit, i didnt mean it like that. Edd look, i.. i want to help you. And it frustrates me that i dont know how." He calmly sits down next to the green hoodied boy.
Edd jolted a little bit when he heard the bit of an asshole like tone come out of his room mate. He looked over at Tom when he had sat next to him. "I guess I just don't like to be alone. And when I actually am alone, I hang around your room since it reminds me of you. You're my best friend, Thomas." He sighed a bit, looking up and straight across the room.
Tom let out a sigh, feeling a great amount of sympathy. "Well.. thats understandable." He paused, thinking of the right words. "You dont have to feel alone.. Youre my best friend too, yknow. And I dont plan on leaving." He made an attempt to reassure Edd desperately hoping it would help, at least a little.
Edd stared down at his feet, swinging them. He was too far on the back for his short legs attached to his small feet to touch the ground. He hopped off the bed and walked over to Tom, hugging him tightly, and leaning up to kiss his cheek. He smiled softly then immediately disappeared into the living room. He flopped down onto the couch and turned on the TV.
Tom worked up a small smile, as Edd approached him. Maybe, just maybe he actually did something right for once. He felt the warm embrace and of course, returned it. Then Edd did something Tom didnt expect - he kissed his cheek. Toms face became extremely flushed almost immediately after. As Edd made an exit from his room, Tom quickly buried his face into his hoodie sleeves to allow the redness to disappear before following behind.
Edd tried his best to remain calm though on the inside he was in a huge panic. He was worried Tom would react negatively.. or worse push it aside and not react at all.
He looked down at the ground finding it hard to focus on what was on. It wasn't that it wasn't to interest- it certainly was. He was just worried.
Edd looked up after hearing footsteps. He blushed at the sight of Tom, and smiled sheepishly.
