In the End- Eddsworld Apocalypse AU [EddxMatt, TomxTord & PaulxPatryck]

Chapter 6- Return to Enemy

(Tom's POV)
Being held at gun point was the last thing I wanted, especially when I'm also with Matt and Emerald "Who are you?" one of the men asked as the other man shone a bright torch in our faces, Emerald nudged me to look at their feet- Red Army boots, how fucking great! They're from the Red Army Base. "We're survivors, we're just passing through back to our town" I lied "Who are you?!" they want our names? The gun inched closer to Matt's head "I-I'm Tom... Ridgewell" there was silence, only the storm's thunder in the background. "Larrson! Come down here now! You'd want to see this!" Larrson? That sounds familiar.... someone ran down the stairs, another shadow entered the room, the light shifted to me "Tom!" the shadow crushed me with a hug, their accent still in my head as warm arms wrapped around my cold soaked body "I was so worried!" wait- it can't be "...Tord?" I thought I was going to punch him, but I didn't feel like hurting him, an unknown feeling made my chest hurt as tears rolled down my cheeks. I wrapped my arms around him, not wanting to let him go "You fucking commie... your making me cry" I managed to say as I heard Tord weakly laugh, letting me go. "Paul, Patryck, my friend Tom and- my god, Matt!" Tord quickly hugged Matt. He looked at Emerald with a questioning look as I helped her up "Who...who's this?" Tord asked worriedly "Emerald, she lost her family, I'm kinda like her guardian now" I smiled as I ruffled her hair as Tord relaxed a bit "Well, until we find where the evacuation bus took them" Tord's face dropped, he looked down at the ground, guilt on his face "Tord?". He looked away from me "What happened?!" I yelled, he didn't answer. I grabbed his arms, nails digging into him "Answer me asshole! What happened to the fucking buses?!" "Half was brought back to base, the others we don't know, they could've crashed, died, got blocked by dead or taken shelter in an unknown town... we don't know who's still alive outside the base walls-" I let go of Tord, anger boiling in my veins. "Why aren't you three behind those walls then if you apart of the army?" Paul nudged Tord "Tell him, this is your chance" "Tell me what?" I hissed "...I came back to get you guys... I came back for you" Tord whispered the last part. I grabbed my harpoon, the tip of it just touching his throat "You got some nerve. You hurt Edd and Matt, you hurt everyone and almost killed Jon. You wait until the fucking apocalypse to actually care about us, when the world finally went to hell. You always hurt me, tortured me, always shooting at me, blew me up... you tried to kill me... You came back for me? I don't believe you". Tears rolled down Tord's cheeks as he held the end of the harpoon close to his throat and looked up at me "Do it then"... I didn't expect those words to come out of his mouth "You fucking stupid-what the... what the hell is that suppose to mean?!". "Your right, I hurt my friends, even the person I loved. I don't deserve forgiveness, I deserve to die and end up like one of those thing... I'm sorry" the sharp tip of the harpoon drew blood from Tord's neck, he was weak, sad, depressed looking, like a 'fierce' lion finally giving up to a wolf, he knows he has lost but I can't hurt him while he's like this. "Is that your G waggon outside?" I asked Patryck "Yes, full tank" I withdrew my harpoon and motioned them to walk down stairs "Edd would want to see you" Emerald and Matt picked up their bags and followed Paul and Patryck down stairs "Thankyou Tom-" "I'm doing it for everyone else's sake, its the apocalypse... I can't hurt or kill you now... besides, death is too good for you" I nudged Tord to keep walking as more tears ran down his face. We made it half way down the stairs, Tord's face had dirt stuck to it due to his crying. I slammed him against the wall "Tom-" "Shut up." I used my sleeve to wipe away the dirt, his adorable silver eyes staring back into mine "Stop crying commie-" I'm only just realizing now how close I am to Tord, noses touching, a small blush crawled onto my face before I pulled away "K-keep walking" Tord didn't walk, he ran, down the stairs, not wanting to get on my bad side again. I stood there questioning myself... why the fuck am I blushing right now?! Did I just think Tord's eyes were adorable?! I rolled up my sleeve where a scar was, the very one I got after Tord tried to blow me up with the house. It was a really deep cut, I had to get stitches for it... I felt a smile go across my face- why am I smiling?! I'm not suppose to like Tord at all! I walked down the rest of the stairs, running out into the rain and into the G waggon where the others were "Which way we heading?" Patryck asked "Head south from here" I answered as Patryck started the vehicle and turned left, heading to Ashmaine...
