Roommates (A TomTord AU)

chapter 7

Tom ducked behind a nearby bush, but it was too late "Tom?" Tord's voice rang out from the clearing. "Shit" Tom whispered, he tried to move because his leg was getting a cramp. 'CRACK' a branch snapped underneath him, Tom stood up quickly. He turned to run when he smacked into something warm and solid, he looked up to see a pair of blue eyes staring back at him "oh t-tord I didn't see you there" he said.

 Tord smiled, something about it seemed sinister "well Thomas, I can't let you go just yet because I have a feeling you saw something you weren't meant to" he whispered. 

Tom's eyes widened and a faint blush appeared on his cheeks when he thought about Tord standing in the rain laughing "I- uh um" Tom stuttered, Tord laughed at the sight of Tom being flustered.

Tom's blush became a strawberry red, Tord's laugh made him feel giddy inside even if he was probably mocking him. Then Tom realized how insecure he must look and the fact that he had vowed to himself never to let someone see his soft side, his face hardened into one of disdain "well Commie I have shit to do so see you later" He turned and started walking away.

Tord frowned and shook his head "nope, that just won't do" he said. In two short strides, he had caught up with Tom and was holding him by the hoodie. Tom growled and tried to squirm out of his grip "let go asshole!" he said angrily, Tord smiled and brought his head close to Tom's, he stared into Toms dark space-like orbs. Tom froze, he was drowning in the blue sea that was Tord's eyes. Years could have gone by and he wouldn't have noticed, at that moment everything was still. 

Then reality crashed in, Tom did the only thing he could think of "I'm sorry" he whispered almost silently before kicking Tord in the crotch as hard as he could. Tord's eyes bulged and he instantly let go of Tom, he didn't stay to see what happened to Tord, instead Tom ran across the clearing to the other end of the park.

TORD'S POV (don't expect POVs to often because I'm still deciding if I want them as a permanent feature in my book.)

I gasped for air, one thing I knew for sure. Tom definitely could pack a punch (or a kick in this case) I sat there wheezing and heaving for breaths for what felt like forever (literally two minutes XD). "Fucking Thomas," I said loudly, slowly I stood and looked around the clearing. Tom was nowhere to be seen "surprise surprise" I muttered to myself, I sighed and started walking towards a swing set near the back of the park. The swing creaked as I sat down heavily, I swung back and forth as I thought about my problems "Why has Tom been avoiding me?", "Why was he so upset about him and I sharing the couch?" 

"WHY DO I EVEN CARE" I shouted out, I got up angrily and started pacing "stupid Thomas, stupid Pau, and Patryk... STUPID EVERYTHING" I said. I sat down in the ground in a huff, I was thinking about walking home when I heard something "could it be? He hasn't left yet..." I followed the sound of soft giggles to the old plastic closed in purple slide, I snuck up to the side and peered through a crack in the slide. Tom was sitting in the slide giggling, the scene made my heart clench and a rare genuine smile appeared on my face. 

I took a deep breath and popped my head through the entrance of the slide "hey Tom?" I heard the sound of Tom getting up "p-please don't run away" I said "shit, why did I stutter!? I can't seem weak, especially in front of Tom" I thought to myself. The sounds stopped and Toms' head peaked out from the top of the slide "okay" he said, I blushed bright red at the smirk on his face.

TOMS POV

I can't believe Tord stuttered! he is usually so stern and doesn't like looking like a wuss puss at all... the walk home is gonna be so much fun ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°).
