Tom woke up and looked around. He looked at Tord and flinched confused

Though he wasn't going to move since it was comterable and warm like that

Tord was still peacefully asleep with the brit close to his chest, his eyes were shut as his chest rose and fell, his hands subconciously combing through Tom's hair.

Tom nuzzled him a little more and waited for him to wake up

Tord groaned softly at that, and, being a light sleeper, he soon woke up. His eyes fluttered open and he looked around, still so tired and confused.

Tom looked up at him and smiled shyly a bit, still staying in his leaders arms

Tord frowned and let go of him so he could sit up "Thomas, get up.." he mumbled softly.

He frowned a bit and looked down, though did as told and sit up

"Thank you, Thomas" he sighed "What happened yesterday?" He asked calmly as he got up and fixed his coat.

''..I.. '' He frowned, he didn't remember what happened ''..I don't know, Sir'' He replied, seeming so lifeless again without a drink. No wonder why he was an alkoholic

Tord raised a brow "...Good" he mumbled, now getting up as he pat Tom's head "get ready for today, we'll be back to work soon"

He nodded before nuzzling Tord's hand gently

"Go on, i'll be waiting outside" he said softly to the other male, being as gentle as possible with him

He nodded again and got up, walking up to mirror, making his hair staring at his reslection blankly

Tord did as he said he would and waited outside, leaning agaisnt the wall with a tired look on his face

After some minutes Tom walked out of his room, looking at Tord and frowning ''Maybe you should take some more rest, Sir. A break for tooday would be good for you'' He said calmly, not wanting to sound rude

"I'm the leader, Thomas. I can't take breaks" he growled softly, shaking his head slowly at him.

''I can take care of the soldiers, Sir'' He said, grabbing Tord's hand gently, tugging it to enter the room again

"No, Thomas. I cannot rest, I have the whole day planned already" he huffed, pulling away with a frown.

''I'm sure noone will be angry about it. You're working hard enough, Sir. Take a quick rest'' Tom didn't give up

"I can't do that" he said firmly again, shaking his head.

He stared at him for a moment and then looked down, nodding

"I should already b back to work" he muttered tiredly to himself, haking his head slowly.

Tom mumbled something to himself, looking away from Tord. It was unable to understand

"What was that?" He asked softly, now staring at Tom with a forwn on his face

He flinched and continued looking away ''Nothing, Sir..'' He looked quite nervous

"Thomas; I asked what were you saying" he said firmly, now frowning "So, please answer me."

He looked up at him ''Nothing, Sir.'' He assured, looking nervous more

'Thomas. I told you to answer me" he said firmly, growing irritated now "Now."

He tensed up, knowing if he'd tell it he'd be screwed even more, he stayed silent, looking down
