________________________________

Days had already passed since the embarrassing event of him crying while he and Thomas had sex. And yet, Tord couldn't help but feel that whatever it was that was inside of him was getting worse.

The thing inside of him wanted Thomas, no, Tom to be always near him.

It was a pretty silly feeling actually and Tord did his best to squash such worthless feelings until he's back to being his usual emotionless self. That being said, those feelings easily came back to him.

It would come to him in the most unexpected ways that there were moments Tord had to pause for a moment and breathe. He would pause and breathe as he'd check whether Tom was somewhere near him.

The feelings would only slightly abate when the damned Brit was close to him and hold his hand. Embrace him and whisper sweet promises unto his ear. If anything, these feelings were becoming so devastatingly frustrating that Tord had half a mind to start inventing a machine or serum that could just permanently remove such baseless emotions.

But Tom was there.

"Tom is still here beside me," his traitorous mind would supply as he would feel himself calm down and ignore his plan of making a new invention.

"Tom is still here and he promised that he would always remain."

Swallowing down his worries, he puts on a calm and impenetrable façade and turns his attention to the rest of his willing followers. He has a long day today and with Christmas coming, Tord thinks that it's better to prepare and make sure things are done before the holidays.

______________________________

As much as Tord always liked to pretend he didn't have any emotions, Tom was starting to realize how the silvernette was acting differently even as subtle it was. After all, after the day the Norwegian sobbed so openly in his arms and asked him to stay as he apologized, Tom began watching the shorter man more closely.

He cataloged any little twitch and every single move.

Tord looked a lot calmer and happier whenever he knows that he was around and that was huge sign that something is going on within the Norski's mind.

Tord asked him to stay.

No. Tord was begging him to stay and for some unknown reason, instead of being happy that he knew that he was being wanted, Tom felt as if Tord's senses was telling them that they'd soon be separated.

The very thought of it being like that was appallingly alarming that Tom had to convince himself that there was nothing wrong. He would convince himself that he would be able to remain by Tord's side.

Christmas was coming closer and Tom didn't want Tord to feel so terrible on such a day. That even though he didn't like the stupid holiday, he wanted it to be something his dearly beloved would be able to enjoy with a peace of mind.
