Save me! (A Tomtord fanfic)

Do I love him?

You said it yourself, you're not my friend."

Tom fell silent.

Of course, Tord would bring that up. Tom was stupid enough to hope he had forgotten about that.

"Tord.....I....."

"Just stop, Tom. I don't need your concern and I don't want it either. It's better if you just drop it."

Tord stood up and wiped away his tears, "I should leave."

Tom stood up and grabbed the Norwegian's robot arm, "Tord. Don't. I don't want you to keep doing this to yourself and if that means I have to keep you here then so be it."

Tord snatched back his arm, "Stop, Tom. I am just a threat to you, to Edd and Matt too. It's better if I just leave." Tord then gave Tom a quick smile before sprinting out of the apartment before Tom had a chance to stop him.

Tom then quickly grabbed Tord's hoodie that was lying on the couch before sprinting after the Norwegian, "TORD, WAIT!"

Tom heard the door to Edd's apartment open behind him but he just ignored it and kept running after Tord.

He had already lost him multiple times, he could not lose him again.

When Tom exited the building he saw a white wan drive away in full speed, but no sign of Tord.

He felt his legs crumble underneath him and he fell to his knees as tears formed in his eyes.

It started to rain and the door into the building opened and Edd and Matt ran out and towards Tom.

"Tom! What happened!?"

"That idiot!" Tom sobbed, "That stupid, stupid idiot!" He clenched his fists.

"Tom?"

"He might as well be dead now...."

"Who are you talking about, Tom?" Edd was starting to become very worried about Tom.

Tom started crying, "That stupid commie...Stupid Tord..."

Edd froze and his eyes widened, "T-Tord? He was here?"

Tom nodded and Edd became angry, "Why didn't you tell me and Matt!?"

"Because he didn't want me to..." Tom whispered.

Edd sighed, "Let's go inside and talk, okay? We'll catch a cold if we stay out here."

Time Skip

Tom was sitting on Edd's sofa, a blanket wrapped around him and Tord's hoodie in his arms. He was refusing to let it go and there was nothing Edd or Matt could do to make him.

Edd sat down in his armchair and Matt sat down next to Tom.

"So, what happened?"

Tom stayed silent which caused Edd to raise his voice, "Tom. What happened?"

"I met Tord on the way to the bar. Things happened and he ended up coming back here with me. We talked a little and then he ran away and I couldn't catch him....."

Edd sighed, "Why didn't you tell me and Matt about this?"

"He didn't want me to......He thought it would be better if no one of us knew he was alive.....I found out he was alive by accident......"

The brown-haired male sighed, "I see. But you still should have told us, maybe then he wouldn't have gotten away."

Tom didn't respond and Edd turned to Matt, "You should go back to your apartment, Matt. Tom is going to sleep in my apartment so I can make sure he doesn't do anything stupid. We'll talk about this more tomorrow, but right now, we're all tired."

Tom didn't argue, which made Edd even more worried about him.

Matt lett out a sigh and then went to his apartment.

Edd turned back to Tom, "Do you think I'm stupid Tom?"

The black-eyed male turned to Edd, "What are you talking about? You're not more stupid than normal."

Edd held back a chuckle, "No, I mean. Do you think I am stupid enough to not notice the way you're acting every time Tord is brought up? I saw the way you smiled the brightest when he and you had fun together. I saw the way you got extremely sad when you thought he was dead. You care about him, a lot, and I've known for years. But what I never understood was why you pretended to hate him so bad when you care so much about him."

Tom stared at the floor and felt the tears fill his eyes again, "It was because of what happened when we were ten. He said he hated me. And after that, I tried to hate him too, but I couldn't. No matter how much I tried to convince myself I didn't care about him, he was what I cared about the most. When I thought he was dead it felt like a part of me was missing."

Edd chuckled, "So I was right. Matt owes me money now."

The black-eyed male gave Edd a confused look, "What are you talking about?"

Edd laughed, "I had a theory about you and it turns out it was right so Matt owes me money since I won the bet we had."

"No I mean, what is it with me?"

"Oh, that you love Tord."

"WHAT!?" Tom shouted.

"Oh come on, you can't deny it after what you just told me. I know you like him, and you have for a long while, it is clear by the way you act around him. The little hating him thing that you were pulling never fooled me, Tom. I know how you two used to be best friends so there was no way you could start hating each other as much as you made it look like."

Edd then got up, "Well, enough talking, I'm going to bed. And you better stay here or else I'll invite myself and Matt over for a slumber party and you know Matt will invade what little privacy you have."

Tom growled and Edd walked to his bedroom.

The blue hoodie-wearing male sighed after Edd had closed the door to his bedroom. He had never thought about why he cared so much about Tord.

Maybe he really did love Tord.

Tom shook head. No, there's no way. If anything then they're just friends.........

.....Right?
