~eddsworld oneshots book~ (slow updates, Requests open!)

~alcohol and stars, pastel!reader x Tom~

Quick thing- I might start writing more with the whole 'Corona self quarantine' thing going on right now lmao

Tom's POV
I sat on the roof of the house with my Smirnoff once again. The sun had gone down, the stars starting to show themselves and I was quite enjoying the view, despite the cold temperature. I should have brought my hoodie. I had been coming to the roof a lot recently. It was a nice change of pace from my crazy housemates and their shenanigans. Just as that thought ran through my head, one of my housemates called my name.

"Tom! You're gonna catch a cold out here!" The star obsessed pastel disaster, (Y/N). (I didnt know how else to describe it and hey, my family calls me a pastel disaster, nothin wrong with it B])

(Y/N)'s POV
I joined Tom on the roof, bringing a backpack with me. Tom looked at me with a puzzled look.
"A whole backpack? What on Earth did you bring with you?"
I brought the backpack into my lap as I spoke.
"My notebook, a pen, some snacks, my ukelele and your hoodie. Seriously, you'll need your hoodie."
He thanked me and took the hoodie, wasting no time putting it on.  I broke the silence again.
"Come up here often?"
As Tom responds, I lay down and look up at the sky.
"Recently, yeah. It a lot more... calm up here."
"I know. Sorry I randomly joined you up here if you want I can leave-"
"No!- I mean, if you wanna stay you can"
I chuckle at his attempt to hide his plea for me to stay.
"Worry not Tommy, I'll stay if you want." I couldnt see his face well but I swear I saw him blush. We both stayed silent as he lay down with me after he took a swig of his Smirnoff.

"Tom?"
"Yeah?"
"Why do you drink so much?" I guess he noticed the slight concern evident in my tone. He sighed.
"I have a crush on someone. Ridiculous, isnt it? The alcoholic in love with someone so kind and sweet. So... I guess somehow the alcohol stops me thinking of them so I dont have to think about how they'd reject me..."
I sat up. I was disappointed slightly by this. You see, I had a crush on Tom. But, his happiness came first for me.
"How could anyone reject you Tom! You're so amazing! You're not just an alcoholic, you're a fantastic person to be around, you're so funny and kind, you actually show that you care about your friends, how could I- I mean they- how could they not love you!?" I panicked. Well done (Y/N), you just told him you love him. I hope you can handle rejection.
"Did you just... try to say-"
"Yeah, I'm guessing theres no trying to lie now... I sorta... Love you Tom."
Silence. Suffocating silence. A silence that was soon interrupted by the sound of him scooting closer to me. I was about to question him, but his lips against mine quieted me. Tom was kissing me.

Tom's POV
When (Y/N) confessed, I couldnt believe I was hearing it. I scooted closer and lifted their chin, closing the gap between us.
"Well, I suppose you'll be seeing me drink less probably. You have no idea how much I've wanted to hear you say that." (Y/N) leaned their head on my shoulder and hummed.
"You have no idea how long I've wanted to kiss you" I responded. I took out my ukelele, strumming it gently as Tom held me close. We just enjoyed the view of the stars in the sky.

howdyyyy! I was inspired to write this because I recently found out how to get on my roof, and it's really nice. It's super aesthetic too. I love being able to talk to my friends up there, like we're the only people in the world. But I can only do that over the phone, hopefully I get to actually bring them on the roof soon aha
