Stuck [TordTom]

Talk To Me

This chapter will most likely be based on the song. Why most likely? Because I have no idea, I just go with the flow.
And also because its one of my favourite songs-

Tord's POV
~06:56pm~

I get out of the shower and  look in the mirror. My devil hair had lost its shape and form and had fallen to my shoulders. Covering my face.

I wrap the towel around my waist and get out off the bathroom. I kneel down to take my red hoodie, boxers and a pair of dark grey jeans. I would wear my T-shirt if I didn't have to hide my fucking identity.

I put on my boxers then pants. I take the towel off my waist and wipe my hair dry. I didn't want to put on my hoodie and get it wet.

Tom's POV

I sigh as I look at Tamara. She laid on my lap with a smile on her face. She had fallen asleep while we were talking. I smile and pick her up bridal style, and lay her on my bed.

I put the checkered blanket over her. She smiles and nuzzles into the pillows and blanket. I walk out my room and shut the door silently. I look at the couch and see Red sitting on the grey sofa that he always sleeps on.

I see him wiping his caramel his with a towel. His hair is long.... It reached till his shoulders.

I looked at down at him and realised that he was shirtless. Gah! I felt my cheeks heat up. I saw his abs his muscles and everything! His hair and towel covered his face though.

"Red?" I walk towards the sofa. "A-ah! Thomas!" He took the towel and covered his face. I chuckled before taking a seat next to him trying to ignore the amount of muscles and abs he had.

I put my hand on his shoulder and notice that he's shivering. "You're shivering. What happened?" I asked. He started sweating and breathing rapidly. "I-I had a nightmare. N-othing t-to worry about!"

I huff. "Want to talk to me about it?" I stand up and head to the counter to get some bandages. "No thanks..."

I come back, sit and grab his left arm to bandage it. "Talking to someone always helps. It helped me when I was younger." I say while wrapping it around his elbow then his hand.

"Fine..." He sighs. I smile and put the bandage on the coffee table. "So, what happened?"

"I...had a dream about my old friend. He set me on fire." Red said in a monotone voice. "I have very, vivid dreams." He says. I notice that he starts wiping his eyes. "Red?"

"I-I'm fine...." He says and sniffs a bit at the end. Without think I pull him into a hug. He doesn't pull back. Instead, he nuzzles into my neck and cries his eyes out.

I pat his back and smile. "You don't have to be a hero, to save~ The world." My eyes widen at what I just said. I just sang the first sentence in a song that me and Tord created when we were 7.

I sigh and continue singing. "It doesn't make you a narcissist~ To love~ Yourself." I sing as I felt the warmth of his body.

I pull away, already missing the warmth of his body. I close my eyes and wipe his tears. If he doesn't want me yo know his identity I won't force him. "It feels like nothing is easy, it'll never be."

"That's alright. Let it out, talk to me~"

"You don't have to be a prodigy~ To be~ Unique."

I feel his hand take my arm from his face. "You don't have to know what to say~ Or what~ To think." He sang. I was surprised, how did he know the lyrics?

I shrug it off and continue song "You don't have to be anybody you can never be~"

"That's alright, let it out, talk to me~"
I sigh, I was about to continue until he sang the next verse.

"Anxiety~ Tossing turning in your sleep." He looked away and inhaled.
"Even if you run away, you still see them in your dreams~" He stood up and walked to the window, how I know? I opened my eyes when he left the sofa.

"It's so dark tonight, but you'll survive. Certainly~" I smile. "It's alright, come inside, and talk to me~"

He came and sat on the floor, not facing me. "We can talk here on the floor~ On the phone, if you prefer~"
I wrap around his neck and nuzzled into his neck. Because it was what I used to do when I was younger to calm Tord down. "I'll be here until you're okay~"

"Let your words release your pain"

"You and I will share the weight"

"Growing stronger day by day" He sighs and looks back at the window. "It's so dark outside tonight"

"Build a fire warm and bright~" I chuckle slightly. "And the wind it howls and bites" He says softly. "Bite it back with all your might" I sang.

"Anxiety tossing turning in your sleep" He inhaled once more, before singing the next verse. "Even if you run away you still see them in your dreams~"

He looks down and sighs. "It's so dark tonight" I smile and pull him up. "It looks nice, fall asleep~" I wrap my arms around him and we nuzzle in each others necks.

He smiles and whispers. "It's alright, come inside."

And talk to me~

He pulls away and looks down. He takes his towel to slightly cover his face. "Thanks Tom... I feel much better."
He called me Tom...

I smile "Anytime." I walk calmly to my room when I enter it I slam the door close and block it. Causing Tamara to wake up. "Tom?!"

"S-Sorry Tamara. Go back to sleep." I scratch my nape and tuck her back in. "Mmph... Okay..." She turns a bit before falling back to sleep.

I sit down at my desk and run my hand through my naturally spiked hair. How does Red know the song...? Well he is friends with Tori.... Maybe she sang it to him.

And why does my heart fucking race everytime I see him. Gah and he's so fucking hot-

I need to write this in my journal. I open my drawer and pull out a blue notebook with a checkered sign in the corner.

I take a pen from my pen holder and begin writing.

"I don't know what's going on, but my heart races every time I see him. I can easily hide it but I can't help but wonder what this feeling is in my mind.

Whenever I speak to him I'd stutter and my words get twisted. I know it doesn't seem like it but if I feel like this around someone I'd act really nice to them

Whereas with my friends I'm just my normal, grumpy and pessimistic self. Is this what love feels like? I mean, I've liked people before but those were just minor crushes.

But this?! I've only known him for no more than two weeks. This is only my second week of getting to know him and I feel butterflies in my stomach whenever I think about him.

I can't help but feel flustered when I see him shirtless. I like the warmth that he gives off when we exchange hugs. It's so comforting....

I don't know what this feeling is... Is it love?

I'm getting tired of writing my emotions into this book. I need a real person to talk to. "

I look at Tamara who's peacefully sleeping on my bed.

"Maybe I could tell Tamara? She's my counterpart, she'll understand... Right?"

I sigh and put the pen back in my pen holder and close my notebook and put it back in the drawer. I look back at Tamara....

A little nap won't hurt...

Hi hi! I don't think I'll be updating daily anymore, because I'm at my mom's house. She's more strict, and there isn't any WiFi. I only use data.

I'll only be staying here for a week, so I need you to get used to short stories. Thank you for the support! 💙 ❤️

Bye bye! 💞
