tom's pov

i woke up, feeling warm all over. my face was dried with tears. i had a huge panic attack and i wouldn't like that to happen again. i sighed in relief as i was finally safe.

i was about to get down when ny toe felt something. something smooth and skin-like.

when i looked at what my toe was touching. i mentally face palmed myself.

it was edd's cheek.

i had to jump but not make any noise just to get out of my bed and manage to not wake up edd carefully.

i opened the fridge and poured smirnoff into my metal flask. i drank and the cold liquid poured down my throat smoothly.

for some reason, at a young age i could already handle strong drinks. i went to a party at 14 and no one noticed me. so i managed to get a cup of tequila and drank it all.

i drank the whole bottle. at the end of the party. i was the only one who could stand up properly and not vomit.

but the next day, i had a huge hangover paired with a splitting headache. with following after effects of vomiting.

tequila's not my type though, i had to go to a couple more parties to find out about smirnoff.

i was heartily enjoying my morning drink when a loud sound went off. i looked at the window and thousands of police cars were dashing down the road.

"what.. is that horrible.. thing." he mumbled as he sleepily stood up from his makeshift bed.

i smirked at him. "mornin' eddhead."

he scoffed at me. "just because you weren't bothered doesn't mean you can't laugh at me."

"i didn't laugh at you!"

his brows furrowed. "yeah, you did!"

i rolled my eyes. "okay, fine whatever. you can leave now, i'm fine now, yeah."

he looked at me. and i had a feeling he wanted to say something but instead of speaking words he swallowed it. it was a few seconds before he said sonething.

"uh, you should meet up with someone. at seven eleven, yes, uh yeah."

my eyebrows raised. curiosity was begging to know who would meet up with me.

"and who's that?" i asked while sipping.

"tord."

and liquid was sprayed. edd gasped and wiped his face with my pillow.

"ugh, you're so gross. chill!"

my eyes rolled for the hundredth time. "yeah yeah, i'll get ready. i have to meet up with him now?"

edd nodded. "yeah, like right now." he checked his phone and looked at me. "like, seriously, he's waiting for you."

i rose my eyebrows. don't tell me that he's making me hook up with tord. even if the idea pleases me, that's kinda weird. why would edd do that out of all people?

nonetheless i still dressed up properly and went out. instead of my usual blue hoodie, black pants and checkered sneakers. i opted for a basic white t shirt and jeans and elevated the outfit by wearing a black leather jacket. i'm not a fashionista but i think it looks kind of good.

i saw tord sitting on a chair that was outside the cafe instead of inside. he wasnt also wearing his usual outfit and was wearing a black shirt with a jumper.

he saw me and i blushed. "hi tom! sit down, here." he pointed to a chair in front of me.

i sat on the said chair. and of course awkward silence was happening until i broke the ice.

"sooo, why would you want to meet up with me?"

he looked at me and smiled. my heartbeat raced as fast as a car going at a hundred miles per minute.

"well, i figured that the project we made together was like a one night stand." he said, and quickly added. "in, you know, a friendship sort of way."

i nodded, "okay?"

he looked at my eyes sheepishly. i blushed hard and that's not something i would do on a daily basis.

"-and so... i just want to be friends with you. you know?"

i smiled at him. "i get that, i would want to be friends too!"

he broke contact with me and pointed to a restaurant. "let's eat there and talk. yeah?"

"oh, okay then."

  :::

i finally went back to my apartment and cherished the moment we had together. even though it was slightly exhausting to move restaurants to restaurants and places to places. it was fine though.

i could still feel the lingering touch on his hand on mine. i would thought he would ask me if i was gay but thanks to whatever god out there he didn't. and that's fine with me.

i don't want to ruin my newly made friendship just because of my sexuality. i don't want to lose it.

because i'd rather be his friend than nothing at all.
