Edd's POV:

After Y/N got all her stuff in her room, I offered to help unpack. "Hey Y/N! Just wondering if you want me to help you get settled in." I said with a large smile. "Oh, sure! Thanks Edd, I really appreciate you letting me live with you and your friends. I just got evicted." she said, her smile fading after she said that last  sentence. 

"Oh, I'm sorry about that." Well, this is awkward.."Uh, tell me about yourself! I would love to get to know our precious y/n." I made small talk, and she smiled in return. She took out her pocket knife and cut open a big box. "Well, I work at the dollar store across the street. And-" I cut her off. "SO DOES TORD!" I yelled, excitedly.

"Really? I've never seen him there." she said, confused. I looked out her door, then back at her. "H-Huh? No, you must have! He works all the time." I wonder why she hasn't seen him. "Well, I don't know but i'm pretty sure I would remember a 6'0 man with horns." She chuckled out. I smiled awkwardly and walked out. Has Tord been lying?

Tord's POV:

I was in the kitchen getting some smirnoff for Tom, because he threatened me to. I was already getting up anyways so might as well get Jehovah's drink. I hear footsteps behind me and I turn around. It's Edd. You would think he would be smiling or some stupid shit like always but he looks furious. "Edd? What's wrong?" I said, nervously. He looked at me like he knew something bad, that i didn't know. "So... you work at dollar store, eh? Who do you work with? Give me a couple names of people you work with Tord." He said, making me nervous. "U-Uh, Bob?" i said, stupidly.  "OH YOU LIAR! Y/N WORKS THERE AND HAS NEVER SEEN YOU BEFORE? WHAT'S WITH THAT?" he yelled unexpectedly. "Edd, I can explain. Well... actually I can't." Edd's face turned more angry than it already was and he grabbed the collar of my shirt and pulled his face close to mine. "Tord, we have been friends for 12 years. I have never kept anything from you, and if i have then I already told you anyways. Cut the shit, and tell me where the fuck you get half of the rent." Oh no. Edd is NOT happy.I can fix this.

"Edd, calm down. I'm just working for a friend. But it's not traditional work, so I'd rather not explain it." I kept a smirk on my face and he didn't seem to buy it. I signed, and put my hands up in defeat.

"You know how I like to tinker with things? He just hired me for inventing stuff for his company." Wow, that lie was being made up as it was said. He let go of my collar and shook his hand in his hand. "Why didn't you tel us? Or at least me?" He looked back up at me and seemed repelled. I shrugged and walked away, bring my stupid enemy his stupid drink while he whales himself to drunkenness for the day.

Your POV:

I just here yelling downstairs, and I don't want to get in any of it so i just keep unpacking, hoping that nobody fucking kills each other. I heard Edd walking back up and I went back to packing and pretended to not hear anything."He didn't work there." I smiled and pat his shoulder. 

"Thought so." He smiled a little and then went back to gloomy. "Oh, it's okay edd. Everyone has a little secret, right?" I said, trying to cheer him up. " He wouldn't keep secrets from us, though." He said, not acting like him"Swell" self. "I think we should respect his privacy and go do something fun. All 5 of us!" I said, trying to lighten the mood.

 "Yeah, okay" He said, hiding a small smile. "YAY!" I kissed his cheek then stopped... realizing what I just did. he was blushing really hard. "O-Oh, umm sorry. I just got a little carried away." I said, also blushing. I ran out of the room and went to the living room to think with the others about what we wanna do. Fuck, I always avoid my problems. 

..Stupid y/n.
