Prompt Writing 1

Yo, this is a Nom (Tom x NIKS) oneshot based off a prompt I got in an online generator and I really liked the idea, so I'm writing it! I'll reveal the prompt at the end, because it kinda spoils the whole oneshot, so let's just jump right into it-

Tom's eyes flickered open, a drawn-out groan escaping his mouth. He tried to lift his head, but fell back onto a soft surface. "Where am I?" He tiredly asked, a voice responding. 

"You're in the hospital. You got in an accident, son."

"Oh..." Tom tried once again to get up, but the man stopped him. 

"I don't recommend you get up just yet. You've only been in here for a few hours." Tom sighed. 

"Do you have any friends or family we could contact?"

"What?"

"We need somebody to come for you, when you're ready to leave. Do you have any phone numbers memorized so I could call someone?"

Tom took a moment to process the words. "I... can't remember."

The doctor spoke up. "Oh, speaking of, I almost forgot." He pulled out an x-ray of Tom's head. "I forgot to mention that the accident caused head trauma, so you got amnesia. No wonder you can't remember."

Tom thought for a moment. "Actually, there is something I remember."

"What is it?"

"This girl... I can't quite... I think her name was NIKS, or something... I don't know."

The doctor walked over to a desk, picking up a folder. "I bet we could find someone in the medical files who matches that name. Do you remember what she looked like?"

"Yeah... it's a little fuzzy, but I remember. She has brown eyes, really pretty ones. And brown hair, I remember her dyeing the tips pink. And..."

"Yes?"

"I remember. I remember everything now! She was my girlfriend! We've been together for 2 years!"

"Do you know her number?"

"Of course."

Tom walked up to the door of the house, taking in a deep breath. He had NIKS' address memorized and had gone to her house to see her again. He knocked on the door and waited for it to open. A few minutes went by when he heard the door click and open up. 

"For fucks sake, what is it now- Oh, hey Thomas."

Instead of seeing NIKS, Tom saw a man he'd never seen before. He stood at the doorway, wearing a red hoodie and his hair fashioned into two horns. He had a bandage on his right cheek, and wore black pants. He leaned against the doorway, waiting for an answer.

"Who- How do you know my name?"

"What do you mean?"

Tom shook his head. "Oh sorry, I forgot. I got into an accident, and got amnesia. For some reason the only thing I remember is NIKS, and I came to see her. If I knew you, I probably forgot."

The man blinked. "Are you serious?"

"Yeah, I came out of the hospital a few hours ago. NIKS was my girlfriend, right?"

The guy started laughing at Tom's statement, which made his smile fade. He wiped a fake tear and turned back into the house.

"NIKS, get a load of this!"

The man opened the door a little more and NIKS walked to his side, holding her hair in her hands. She looked to see Tom standing there with a confused face, but it turned into a smile when he saw her.

"Tom? What are you doing here?"

"I came to see you! I got into an accident and I had amnesia, but I remembered you! And we can be together now, like before!"

NIKS' eyes widened slightly before wearing a sad smile. "Tom, you really don't remember, do you?"

"What?" Tom's smile started to turn into a frown.

"Y'see... We were together, but... We broke up a year ago."

"Huh?" Tom looked over to the man, who had put his arm around NIKS. His NIKS.

"I broke up with you. I'm with Tord now."

"T-Tord?"

"That's my name. And that's why I laughed at you. See, before, we used to be enemies. We hated each other so much, and I hated you even more for having a girlfriend. But now she's mine. Oh man, the look on your face right now is priceless."

Tom couldn't process Tord's words, as he was staring in disbelief, seeing his only good memory being from the past. All the times Tom and NIKS had spent together flashed in his mind, the only things he remembers. Before he knew it, Tom's eyes started to water and his lips trembled.

"I'm sorry, Tom. I wish I wasn't all you remember. You had so many people that cared about you, this I know. I hope you can fix your condition."

NIKS and Tord went back inside, Tord closing the door behind them. Tom's legs went weak and he fell to the floor on his knees. He bent down and began sobbing uncontrollably. Gasps and cries were heard as he shook, barely supporting himself with his arms. He tried to hold back and get up, but he was shaking too much, and instead lay on the ground. He curled up into a ball, waiting until he stopped crying.

He eventually did, wiping his remaining tears and heading back home. Tom knocked on the door and someone answered. He was a brunet wearing a green hoodie, along with some khakis. He smiled at Tom before engulfing him in a tight hug.

"Tom! What happened? You've been gone for a while! Are you okay?"

"I don't wanna talk about it, I just wanna rest." Tom replied, looking down.

"Alright, but if you need anything, Matt and I are here."

"Thanks, uh... What was your name again?"

"Edd. I'm one of your best friends, along with Matt. I'm sorry about what happened to you, I heard about it from Doctor Names after they released you."

"It's fine. Thanks, Edd."

"No problem, Tom."
