It hurts...(TomTord fanfic)

4

Tom's breath hitched and he shamelessly looked away, replying bitterly but shakiky"That's none of your business commie. "

Ouch. That must've hurt especially since Tord was trying to help. But it was clear Tom was uncertain.

Tord put a hand on his shoulder, his gaze hardening, using his other hand to grip Tom's hoodie sleeve and roll it up.

Tom's eyes went wide and he looked back to Tord, expecting to see him angry or at least disappointed

But Tord's gaze was soft as he looked at Tom's scarred wrists and arm. He looked at Tom, speaking firmly "Tom, what's bothering you?"

Tom bit his lip "N-Nothing." He mentally cursed under his breath for stuttering .

Tord shook his head" I'm getting Edd and Matt. Stay here. We're talking about this. " Tom's breath hitched upon these unsettling words "N-No!"

Tord sighed and stood, walking to the living room. Tom was mentally panicking to the point he stood and rushed into the living room himself and to his room, clearly knowing he had been spotted.

Tom didn't bother lock his door and grabbed his cover, pulling it over himself, shaking and trembling as he hid under it, afraid to face his responsibilities.

He heard footsteps. They came closer and besides him until he felt the cover be ripped off of himself.

His eyes went wide and he looked up to see Tord, Edd, and Matt. Tord's expression was disappointed, Edd has his arms crossed, and Matt looked quite hurt.

He teared up, looking away. It wasn't long before he was embraced into a tight hug. And he knew by the coldness where one hand was set that it was Tord. He soon felt warmer, knowing Edd and Matt had joined the hug.

I closed my eyes, whispering "I-I'm so sorry..." A warm hand made its way to his cheek and rubbed it"Sssh. We know. "

God, that accent. It comforted him so much. Yet he didn't deserve to hear it.

I opened my eyes and smiled a bit "T-Thank you..." Edd nodded. Matt replied with a hum.

"Anything for you min kjærlighet." Tord casually responded. His face heated up a bit.

He shrunk into them and closed his eyes, smiling. He felt comforted by them caring so much.

And with that, he closed his eyes, causing Tord to pull him closer, flashing a smile before Tom fell asleep.
