What Is Your Problem? •TomEdd•

Introduction?

Ever since they met, Edd has always known Tom to be an angry individual. With constant rude remarks and agitated glares, it makes sense why Tom didn't have any friends.

                      • How they met •

Edd was walking outside, getting a breather from the hectic halls. Edd was a freshman in highschool, and he couldn't exactly handle how loud everyone was. He sighed and laid under a shady tree. Not much time had passed when he heard a voice:
"Hey, how's highschool doing for ya?"
Edd took a double take from right to left. "Um..who..said that??"
"Up here,, duh."
Edd looked up to see a boy his age, sitting on a branch. He seemed slightly annoyed, but at the same time amused.
"Oh..! Um.. how's it 'hanging'? Edd giggled at his pun, and then started talking again. I'm Edd! What's your name?"
Tom took the time to swing his leg over, hang from the branch, and then fall to the ground. "Err.. I'm Tom. He awkwardly sat next to Edd and put his hand out. It's uh...nice to meet you." Edd shook his hand and smiled.

Ever since then, the two were closer than ever. They even met two other boys, Matt and Tord, who became their friends as well. The four were always with each other, and conveniently they had most of the same classes. The four went through thick and thin to get out of highschool, and once they did, they decided to move into a house together, to face the unkown together.

                        •Present day•

"Tom, Matt, Tord! Wake up! I made breakfast!" Edd surprisingly woke up early today, and made breakfast. Of course, as much as he wanted to, I'd be rude to keep all the bacon to himself. He had made biscuits too, but those weren't as important as his previous bacon.

One by one, the boys slowly came out of their caves they called their bedrooms. First Matt, then Tord, and finally, Tom.
Tom always came out of his room last, but today he took exceptionally long. He even looked.. extra grumpy? Edd had taken notice, but brushed it off as thinking that he had stayed up way too late again, Tom has done that a bunch recently.

"Hey Tom! How'd ya sleep? I left some breakfast for y-" Tom had grabbed a biscuit and retreated back to his room.
That was..odd, to say the least. Sure, Tom was antisocial, but he didn't normally not say anything to Edd before going back into his room. Edd, though torn, sighed and went back to eating.

Tom quickly shut the door again. His heart was racing and his face was cherry red. No, he hadn't seen a ghost, he saw a boy. For some reason, Tom was always fascinated with Edd. This fascination blossomed into a burning love for the taller male. Tom took deep breaths, and tried to calm down.

'Why have I been acting like this so suddenly!? It makes no damn sense!'
Tom cursed himself under his breath for acting so childish. Obviously he can't ignore Edd forever. He just.. wasn't good at coping with his feelings, or, hiding them, for that matter. Tord seemed to do a better job, he told Edd and Tom months ago he started having feelings for Matt, he just wasn't sure what to say yet.

"No matter, I have to come out of my room sooner...or later." Tom casually replied to himself and laid back down on his bed, and stayed that way up until noon, where Edd finally got the courage to talk to him.

" Tommee, you never said hi this morninggg, I hope you 'egg-cept' this peace offering and talk to me." With that, Edd opened Tom's door with an egg and began laughing. Tom only rolled his eyes, and gave a slight smile and the pun.
" Sorry Edd. I was tired this morning."
" Yeah right, I can hardly believe that."

Unfortunately Edd wasn't buying the 'I'm tired' facade Tom put on. However, if Tom hadn't looked so desperate to change the subject, Edd would've pressed the question on him. Edd just sighed and patted his short friends head.
"Take the 'heads' up, I'm making lunch soon, so you better come eat, okay??"
Tom groaned, jokingly, and smirked.
"Edward! I'm gravely offended for you to force me to leave my palace-"
"If by palace you mean dungeon, I feel like that's a good enough reason to come out."
With a grin, Edd left Tom to prepare lunch, since no one else cooked in this house. Tom just sighed, and hoped that feeling in his chest would go away..

And done! This is my first time actually attempting to make a story, and I really hope it goes well. I've done it in the past and quickly gave up on those projects, but I have I hopes for this one!

I'll try to upload once a week, if I'm not too lazy;w;
