Chapter 6- A Bright Night

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Tom asked,
Tord gave Tom a look that just says
really?
You're going to ask that question?
"Same reason you didn't tell me you had anxiety." Tord smirked
"That's different, anxiety can't literilly kill me! Uh- how do you know that i have anxiety?"
"Its pretty obvious." Tord smirked.
"ANYWAY!" Tord exclaimed throwing his arms into the air and standing up, causing Tom to jump.
"Ya' know what we're gonna do now?" Tord brang his face uncomfortably close to Tom's.
"Uhhh...no... what?" Tom fiddeld with the strings on hid hoodies
"We are GOING TO CLIMB THAT TREE!" Tord yelled, pointing to the window, where you could get a clear veiw of the tall tree.
"No." Tom said monotoned
Tord thought for a second before doimg something fairly dumb.
Tord scooped up his backpack and ran outside the back. Worried he'd do something dumb, Tom ran after him.

Tord climbed over te fence (since the gate needed a key) and sat on the top of it for a second before sliding off, onto the other end. Tom, not having a spare key, had no choice but to do the same. Tom carefully hoisted himself upwards onto the top of the fence and slid off the other side, almost tripping over.

Tord headed toward the park and sat on top of the monkey bars so Tom couldn't reach him.
Tord pulled the. Terisia out of his bag and gestured that he going to tip it onto the ground.
"Climb the tree Thomas!" Tord shouted from the top of the monkey bars, like a villain from an action movie.

"Uh- just- Fine!" Tom stuttered. Knowing Tord, he probably would've poured it all onto the bark and dirt.
Tord laughed and jumped off the old, red bars with his bag.

Tom and Tord walked back to the backyard. Tord giggeling, Tom petrefied.
Tord jumped over the fence, the same way as before, and Tom more like steadily climbed the fence instead. Tord ran to the tree, with Tom not too far away.

The Norwegian got to the tree first and impatiantly waited what (to the enegetic Tord) felt like an eterenity.
Tom eventually made his way to the tree. Tord felt like he could've been 1 billion years old by then.

"Hurry up, slow poke!" Tord childishly whinned.

Tord started climbing up the tree first, wearing his small, bright backpack. He started on the same branch that he did last time. Tord climbed up almost 7 branches before looking down to see if Tom was okay. Unsurprisingly, Tom wasn't even trying to climb the tree.

Dissapointed, Tord sat on a thick branch and called down, cupping two hands on either side of his mouth. "Thomas! I still have my bag~"
Tom heard what The Norewegian had just threatened to do again. Tom kicked the grass and bagan on the first branch. Tom.wedged on of his shoes into the side of the tree, the only thing keeping it from slipping down was a thick chunk of bark attached to the tree that could easily break. Tom used the wedged in foot to push his whole body upwards onto the closest branch. He then carefully stood on the branch and pulled himself onto the next branch and so on.
Tord, patiantly, waited 10 minutes while Tom was slowly making his way up to Tord.

Tord swung his legs back and forth whilst waiting for Tom, his hands kept still on the branch he sat on, on either side of him. His bright yellow cardigan over his red hoodie.collecting the bark from the tree. Tom peered up to see how far away he was from his friend only be met with Tord's smile just above him. Tom raised his hand up onto a branch across from Tord and pulled himself onto it and sitting on it. Tord gave Tom an evil grin
"Don't look down, Thomas" Tord looked Tom in the eyes waiting for him to look down. He didn't. Tom started sweating, from both knowing he was high in the tree and resisting the urge to do what Tord had told him not to. Tord's eyes peered down again
"We're very high up" He teased.
Not being able to resist anymore, Tom's head shot downwards. Tord was right. They we're very high up. Tom's head jerked back up to Tord's face. The boy was laughing before stopping... smirking... and flipping backwards, upside down on the branch. Tom, thinking he fell off, yelled Tord's name loudly and reached his hand out. Before realising the Norwegian was absoloutly fine. Tord giggled
"You care?" Tord chuckled.
"Y-yes. Why wouldn't I?" Tom's face turned red with embarrasment.
"Oh yeah! I forgot I was your only friend." Tord teased before turning around to face Tom and pulled the anxious 13 year old's legs down, so Tom was now standing on the branch under where he previously was. Tord was now just about eye level with Tom, except of course, he was upside down still.

Tord let go of the branch with both his hands, causing his shirt, hoodie and cardigan to all fall down (though it was up for Tord), showing his stomach.
Tord solved this by tucking his blue and orange stripped shirt into his black shorts. When Tord let go the thing he didn't think about was his bag. The strappes that used to be on his shoulders a second ago, slipped downwards and landed on the ground.Tord squinted to see his backpack. He doubted anything broken and kept teasing Tom.

After a few hours, Tord figured that he probably should give himself a needle now, so he flicked his legs down to the same branch the Tom was on and climbed downwards, Tom closely following. Once on the ground, Tord unzipped his bag and injected in 5ml (the correct amount) into his veins, before placing everything back in. The two decided to stay on the ground for a while.

Tord and Tom layed on the damp grass, just talking to eachother about, school and stuff.

Tom learnt that Tord was home-schooled by his father and that he was actually fluent in not only English and Norwegian, but also Japanese. He also learnt that Tord loved anime, that's why he spokes Japanese.

Tord learnt that Tom's parents had split almost a year ago. Around the same time Tord's mum passed away. He also learnt that Tom didn't have rhe best grades.

"Heh! Same here!" Tord chuckled

"Good to know i'm not alone"

There was a short pause before Tord broke the slience.

"Wow... the moon's really bright tonight... isn't it?" Tord was obviously fascinated by the moon.

Tom turned his head to face Tord. He practically had stars in his eyes.

Tom lightly blushed as he saw how cute The Norwegian was being.

"Yeah" Tom agreed looking back up to the sky. No stars were visible yet. Those are the nights Tord like best. The ones with just the moon and himself, except this time Tom was there too. Tord didn't mind though. He was with the two things he loved...
