Believe [Discontinued]

Chapter 3

It has been weeks since Tom has been living with Edd. So far, Tom has gotten a little more comfortable with Edd and he found out a few small details about Tom.

What he still hasn't figured out is why he covers his face and wears a shackle.

Edd is so curious about it, but he doesn't ask. Respecting Tom's privacy and letting him be. Ever since he and Ringo met, they've kept each other company while Edd works.

They get a long so well, that Edd feels a little left out. He doesn't say that though, he wants Tom to be happy. He gets the feeling that Tom isn't usually happy.

Edd doesn't ask, he never does. Not even when he hears him cry at night and being comforted by Ringo.

Today is especially bad. Tom had a nightmare that made him scream like he was in physical pain (Maybe he was) and Edd couldn't let it go on and woke him up.

"Shh It's okay you are safe. You don't have to tell what's wrong, but if there is anything you need me to do, I will. I am your friend, Tom. Your family and so is Ringo. We worry about you. Is there anything you want? What can I do to make you feel better?"

"I-I want m-my teddy b-bear....h-his name is T-Tommi-ie bear-r...."

"Is where is Tommie bear?"

"H-he's in the s-shed I lived in n-near the Church."

"...You didn't take it with you?"

"N-no, is that n-not normal?"

"....", Edd said nothing as he frowned.

To be honest, Edd realized now that Tom didn't have anything. It was only him when they met. Usually the roommates have personal items and no ones greeted him so formally for centuries which surprised him when he did.

It feels like Edd is back to his younger years when he was the new Creation God. He had a temper when it came to humans killing what he made and barely had time to grow.

The humans learned quickly to respect him and slowly got use to him living in their mountains. Well, HIS mountain that he lets them live on. But it seems like they are taking him for granted and becoming arrogant.

"Okay, in the morning I will go into the village and get you, your Tommie Bear."

"Thank you, Mr. Edd."

Edd slightly smiled and patted Tom's head.

"Alright Tom, it's time to go back to sleep. Ringo will you watch over him when I'm gone?"

Ringo meows and caresses their sides while purring.

------------------------------

Edd heads out like he said the next morning. He will also buy a few things for Tom and Ringo while he's there. The trek down the path was a long one, but to him it felt short as he has a quick pace.
