Lyrics used in this chapter are from "Interlude IV (Showtime)". Also, lyrics are altered at some points to fit the context and characters. This takes place in WTF future)

Third-person P.O.V.

"We're finally free," Tom said, spreading his arms, his back turned to his lover "Welcome home" He turned around, now facing Tord "It's just you and me now, standing alone" a small smile tugging at his face "The world is ours" Tord scoffed, almost as though he was annoyed "No it isn't." He said, almost sounding like a whisper. Tom found himself wanting to frown but kept a poker face "Get in the car." Tord suddenly stood up, glaring at the ground "This isn't finished." "What?"

"Even though the kid's dead, I'm still seeing red" He looked at Tom's eyes, which flashed away in guilt "I'm just a shell of his form, that his innocence shed" he continued "He lived a good life and he gave it to you" Tom waved his arm off, wanting to end this "Oh is that right?" Tord suddenly snapped "You know it's not true" he pointed a harsh finger towards him "Look at him showered, In blood and flowers," he said, reminiscing, causing Tom to grimace "Now look in my eyes, she still holds the power-" His eyes held a dangerous red "After years and tears of confronting his fears, He's dead on his record for the world to hear." he said, wistfully "And they'll think that it was suicide, but you see I know" He looked at Tom, glaring at him "It was you inside" he spat, Tom was starting to lose it as well "I saved him" He snapped back, shoving his finger straight into Tord's chest "I held him till the moment he died!"

"You chocked him out of his god damn mind!" He raised his voice "You promised the world to him, A GOD DAMN LIE!" Tom stood back, fear lacing his black orbs, Tord had backed him up against a wall, glaring through his soul "What do you want from me?!" Tom cried, past memories of what used to be loved ones, PTSD to put it simply. "Oh look outside yourself-!" He scowled, a short pause came between the arguing lovers. Tom teared up ever so slightly "I won't help you take her down." He whispered, taking a stance for himself. No matter, he still loved Tord, but Edd was still one of his dearest friends since childhood.

He wasn't dumb and everyone knew that, he quickly caught onto Tord with both his mental state and his 'Army'. However, at times like these, he wonders if its the same man he once knew. "Fine" he muttered, his once silver eyes cold, devoid of any emotion. Tom seemed relieved, if not guilty, thinking he was done. His eyes fluttered shut "I'll do it by myself." Tord turned around his heel, walking away. Tom stood there for a split second, before scrambling behind Tord "You don't need it!" he reasoned "Oh I know that I need it." Tord responded, his tone dead serious. Tom stood in front of him, attempting to stop him "She's been gone for years" he begged, looking into Tord's eyes as if to say 'please, stop it'.

Tord shoved Tom out of the way and continued walking "I know you can beat it!" Tom continued, this caused Tord to jerk around "No look in the mirror, you know we both fear her" he said, fear coming along "We're one in the same, We're afraid to be near her" he cried, pulling at his hair "We utter the name, With our spirits defeated" He had a crazed look in his eyes "But you let me kill him, you're worse than me!" Tord glared, a scowl on his face "I told you to end it-" Tom responded, coming back into view "It was all for the best!" he exclaimed. Suddenly, in a blink of an eye, Tord gripped a fistful of Tom's blue hoodie, inching in so close their noses were touching "So I have you to blame you for this pain in my chest" he spat "NO!" Tom screamed, tears threatening to spill as he jerked away from Tord "If you won't go I will" he contended, a look of bitterness washing over him "-to avenge the lost soul I killed." he whispered the last part.

As he marched through the grand halls, whispers seemed to follow him "You're filling your heart up with hate" at this point Tord couldn't tell if the voice belonged to tom or the eery voices, seeming as though their conjuring into one of the same. He continued, ignoring them "All the same-" Tom's voice was lost at this point, he couldn't hear it over those obnoxiously loud voices "No." he mumbled "As the kid" they continued "No!" His voice got louder, causing Tom to stop in concern "That you left faced down-" they said as if mocking him "No!" he crouched, gripping his head. Tom rushed to his side, holding Tord's shoulders in worry "- on the pavement." "NO!" he screamed, causing Tom's eyebrows to furrow, scared for his loved one.

"It's time I made a statement" He got up, shaking himself out of it. "A pity the city has ruined us," he said, sorrowfully while caressing Tom's cheek "We could've fooled Hollywood, just the two of us." Tord griefed "But" he moved away "Edd has made a fool of us" he growled "You're lost" Tom scoffed "One, two, three, four" background voices coming into view again "Is this what love is really for?" He questioned Tom "Is this all I get for being yours?!" he wept, causing Tom to dig his fingernails into his forearms in guilt and dismay "The kid in front of me in blood and gore" Tord pointed to a metallic white wall, which had a dent on it. Tom thought back to an incident where Matt had lost his left eye, while..trying to calm a certain monster. This caused him to pierce his black polished nails even deeper into his pale skin, almost causing it to bleed.

Tord had noticed this and frowned "Five, six, seven, eight" The voices urged "Years put to waste for all I hate" he said, causing his eyes to downcast in despair. However, he tried to ignore this, pushing his way through two grand grey doors. Tom seemed troubled and almost heartsick at what his spouse is deciding to do, he disagreed with him on every level, but over all his emotions, he just simply rolled his eyes. "They'll all know Edd's fate," he said wickedly, a smirk making its way onto his disheveled face. Tom knew he was up to no good when he let out that smile "Show's about to start" Tord turned around to look at Tom "Don't be late."

(Hey guys! So guess who's still alive and hasn't posted in almost a year? Okay, ill shut up now- I know some of you have been wondering what the actual hell happened to me and if I just abandoned my account, in general, considering I haven't postest in forever, and yes, you might be kinda mad- furious- at me, but look y'all, I'm sorry. Really, I want to say I've been on writer's block but that's really true, I've been writing skits and as such in my free time. In reality, as I've said before (I did say it before, right-?) that I'm just falling out of this fandom. Yes, I still hold love for this ship, I really do, but it's hard to be as committed when your not as into it. I can't promise that I will release chapters consistently, but I will at the least try to update more than every 6 months. I hope you enjoyed this chapter and till next time, bye!)
