3rd Person POV:

Tord left his room, made eye contact with Matt, and went back inside. Matt sighed, knowing why Tord was avoiding him. He started doing this ever since last week...

- Flaaaaaashbaaaaaack~ -

Matt walked alongside Tord to the park. 'Here it goes...' They went over to a large tree and sat down next to each other, leaning against it. "So... why did you bring me here at 11 P.M? We could've gone at, like, 3 or something..." Tord asked, peeking at Matt through the corner of his eye. Matt blushed a tint and took Tord's hand into his. Tord cocked a brow, confused by Matt's behavior.

"Why are you...?" Tord didn't continue, he just shrugged it off. After a short while, Matt tugged on Tord's hand, trying to get his attention. Tord turned towards Matt so that they were face-to-face. "Tord... I've been meaning to say this for... wow, months? It doesn't matter. Y'know how I invite you to places with me... alone?" Tord nodded as a response.

"Well... T-Tord... I... I uhm... I l-like you a lot..." "Yeah, I like you too." Matt jumped and his eyes widened. "You do?!" "Of course! We're great friends!" Matt's breath hitched. 'Is that all he thinks of me as? A friend? Is he interested in me like I am with him?' Matt thought, doubting himself. 'Well... I've gone too far to go back. I might as well say it while I can.' "Tord... that's not exactly what I meant..."

Tord tilted his head, staying silent. "Tord... I meant... I love y-you..." Tord's face lit up in a deep red blush. He released Matt's hand and stood up, turning away. "T-Tord?" Tord took off, running as fast as he could. For the next few days, Tord didn't say a single word to Matt. He hid in his room a lot.

- Flashback End -

Edd noticed what Matt was looking at, and he patted Matt's shoulder. "It's alright, Matt. There's plenty of fish in the sea." Matt got angry, moving away from Edd. "Well, he's the only fish I'll ever love!" Edd watched Matt storm into his room, slamming the door behind himself. Tom whistled before taking a swig from his flask.

"What's up with Matt?" "He didn't tell you?!" "...No?" "Matt's in love with Tord, but Tord rejected him! It's so... sad..." Edd and Tom shut up when loud sobbing came from Matt's room. Edd shook his head and sat on the couch next to Tom. After a while of listening to Matt cry, Edd couldn't take it anymore. "Tom... what can we do?" "I mean, he and I can go to a bar or whatever. Back to the remedy~." Tom continued humming the familiar tune, a small smile on his face.

"Ugh. I'm being serious. I can't stand this!" "Edd, that's why you're sitting." Edd frowned and stood up, crossing his arms. "Edd, oh my god." "Tom! Please! Help me out here!" Tom thought about it for a bit, drinking from his flask.

"We can confront Tord?" "Great idea! Let's go!" "Why do I have to go?" Edd grabbed Tom's hand and dragged him to Tord's room, smiling. He knocked on the door, hoping that he could fix this somehow. Tord opened the door a small bit to see who was knocking. "Oh, it's just you." He opened the door and let Edd and Tom in.

"So... what d'you want?" Tord inquired. Tom stood up and brushed himself off, his hair a little messy from being dragged. "Edd wants you and Matt to make up and shit." Tord visibly flinched at Matt's name. Edd punched Tom in the arm and shook his head. Tom rolled his 'eyes' and took a drink from his flask.

"What Tom meant was, I can't comprehend why you hate Matt. He confessed, you rejected, so what? Why did your friendship have to end?" Tord looked down at his feet and scratched his arm. "I just- I- okay, I have a lot of explaining to do. Get comfy." Tord replied. Tom and Edd sat down on Tord's bed and Tord looked back up. "Matt confessed to me and I ran away, right?" Edd and Tom nodded, wondering where he was going with this.

"Well, after that, I hid away in my room. During that time, I laid on my bed and thought. I thought, and thought, and thought. Eventually, I started feeling strangely toward Matt. It wasn't love, not then. I continued to think about it and... well... I'm not sure how I feel..." Tord went red-faced and looked back down. "Fuck..." He muttered, and Edd realized what he was trying to say.

"So, you like Matt now?!" "I-I do but... I'm such a damn coward... I can't face him after embarrassing myself..." Edd squealed loudly and grabbed onto Tom's shoulders, shaking him harshly. "The ship is back! Tom, you gotta help me get them together!" "Are you serious?" "Tom... please?" Edd made puppy eyes and Tom turned his head away, blushing. "Alright, I'll help! Geez..."

Tord raised his eyebrows, watching another ship riding smoothly. "Well, I guess I'm Cupid. Just... break into his room or something." "Tom, c'mon!" "Tord, slowly let Matt back into your life. Go sit on the couch. Me and Edd will take it from there." Tord scratched at the back of his neck and left the room, sitting on the couch as he was told.

Edd curiously watched Tom go to Matt's room and whisper something to him. Matt exited his room and slowly went to the couch, sitting a fair distance away from Tord. Matt used the T.V. remote to put a comedy movie on and Tom walked back to Edd. "There, you owe me." "Tom... how did you... what did you say?" "I told him to go watch T.V." "...And?"

"And that Tord was chill now. That's all. Don't worry, the relationship will mend and upgrade with time. You'll see." Edd laughed and hugged Tom, smiling brightly. "Thank you!" "No problem, Eddie."
