Your POV
I wake up to the sun shining through my window. I slowly get up and look outside to find the grass on the ground slightly frosted over, which is normal during cold seasons. The sky was baby blue, almost tricking you thinking it'd be warm out. Thoughts about last night still lingered my well being as I touched the crook of my neck; the place where Tom laid his forehead on. I blush at the thought of how gentle he could have been to someone he basically just met. Walking into the kitchen, I grab a bowl of cereal and stare out the window once more. Should I hang at Edd's place today? Would it be too awkward to see Tom? I mean, is he thinking the same thing I'm thinking? Honestly, I'm not even sure at this point. I quickly put my bowl in the dishwasher and get ready for the day. I shower, brush my teeth, then put on a turtle neck with some jeans. Walking over to my door, I pull over my jacket and tie my boots. I figured it'd be nice to walk downtown to get some coffee since it isn't raining or snowing out. As soon as I open the door, I'm met with a cold slap to the face. Geez, I didn't think it'd be that cold but here we are. I pull up directions on my phone and begin to make my way towards the center of town. I figured it'd be better to just distance myself from the guys because I just couldn't bring myself to face Tom at the moment. Call me a coward, I know.
Tom's POV
I hear the alarm on my clock go off as I begin to pound it in order to make it stop. Groaning, I try to adjust my eyes to the dark since I never sleep with the curtains open, too much damn sunlight. I honestly slept like shit since I kept thinking about that stupid girl. The way she felt against my body felt mesmerizing, almost like I didn't want to stop holding her. Wait. What the FUCK am I saying?! Geez man, keep it together. I force myself out of bed and head to the kitchen, only to see Edd there making breakfast.
"Good Morning, Tom. How'd you sleep?" He asked me.
"Move." I said as I pushed past him to grab the Smirnoff from the fridge.
"Good god, Tom. It's 8 in the fucking morning and you're already gonna start drinking?" He gave me a judgmental glare.
"Why're you on my case so much, dude? Am I not allowed to drink my alcohol? Am I not the one who literally paid for it? Geez." I roll my eyes and take a swig.
"Like I said, it's 8 in the morning. No one drinks at 8 in the morning." He narrows his eyes.
"So? You drink cola 24/7 and now you're giving me an attitude about something as stupid as this?" I glared in his direction.
"This isn't about me, asshole, and cola doesn't cause liver damage like alcohol does. You don't see me getting drunk whenever the slightest inconvenience comes into my life, right?" He smacks me up top the head.
"Jesus dude you're starting to sound like the damn communist wherever the fuck he ran off to. Good riddance." I said thinking about our old roommate Tord.
"Listen, I know you're mean and shit, but have you been feeling okay? Ever since last night you've been acting more hostile than usual. Did something happen with y/n?" Edd asked me, this time a bit concerned.
"It's none of your business, stop asking me so many questions, I'm too damn sober for this right now." I stand up taking the bottle to my room and slamming my door. Can't believe I have to be interrogated as soon as I step foot outside.
Your POV
I finally made my way to the town center and look around to see early risers that are getting ready for work. My cheeks and nose are red due to the crisp wind that comes at you from all corners. I find the local cafe and head over to it, ready to get away from this frigid weather. Kind of regret not driving here instead. Oops. I walk in to see that it's very cozy and welcoming, almost like you're at home.
"Hey, could I please get a medium coffee with a bit of cream?" I order my drink.
"Yes, of course! Can I get a name?" The barista smiles at me.
"Yeah, y/n."
"Awesome, thank you. Your total is gonna be 2.27 pounds!" She said.
I paid for my drink and sat down next to the window. I've always liked looking outside at the nature and buildings. It gives you a warm feeling even on the coldest of days. Then again, my mind lingers over to Tom once more. Does he even want to see me after we kissed. Shouldn't that bring us closer together or did it just drive us away? Damn. It honestly sucks because I would like to get to know him more. I should probably just spend the rest of my day here to see what shops I can find. Maybe I'll find one of those cool soap shops, you know?

(Yeah❤️)
I check my watch to see that it's already 4:45 pm. Geez, I've been in town for hours walking around. It might not be the biggest of towns, but it sure had a lot of stuff to see. As it got darker, I started heading home since it began getting colder. I was walking down the street and crossed to my neighborhood. As I see my house approaching I quickly hear some footsteps coming towards me. I dart my eyes up to see that it was Edd.
"Y/n! Y/n! Hold on! Wait just- oh fuck- just hold on!" He was panting while running towards me. I stood there in astonishment as he was wearing nothing but a regular hoodie and some athletic shorts, probably is indoor outfit.
"Y/n, come over." He said as he finally approached me.
"W-what? But it's late, you know how winter is." I said, looking at him confused.
"I know I know, but I need to figure out what's wrong with Tom since he's been acting like a total dick lately. Will you help me?" He looked at me with desperate eyes. Do I really want to see Tom right now?
"I-I mean.. are you sure?" I ask him, I couldn't help but feel a bit nervous.
"Yes, yes please. He hasn't come out of his room since this morning." He informed me.
"*sigh,* okay fine. I'll come." I finally said.
Walking over to their house, I couldn't help but feel nervous. It's the first time I'm gonna talk to Tom after the incident. Well, here goes nothing. We step inside, and I see that Tom is nowhere in sight.
"He's in his room." Edd gestures towards the hall.
"Gotcha, I'll go take a look." I nod and walk towards the hall. I stop by what seems to be Tom's room since it's the only one that's locked.
"Tom? I-it's y/n. Can I come in?"
No response.
"Tom, please. Edd's worried about you. Just please let me in." I plead again.
"Tom I- *sigh* it's no use, is it? You're not coming out." I gave up and head my way over to the kitchen. I don't see Edd anywhere, maybe he went upstairs to hang out with Matt or something. I sit on one of the chairs and contemplate whether I should leave or not. As I was about to take my leave, I here a lock click. My head darts to the direction of the noise to see Tom making his way towards the kitchen.
"Holy- Tom, hey! Edd invited me over to check on you since you've been pretty off today. Mind telling me what's up?" I cock my head slightly towards the side. He's just leaning against the wall with a slight glare on his face.
"It's really nothing. I don't understand why you even came, even if Edd asked you. I'm just not in the mood right now." He looks down.
"Well, I don't know. Ever since last night, I- um.." I couldn't even finish my sentence but Tom's face looked like he understood what I was talking about.
"Couldn't stop thinking about it either, huh." He finally said with a slight blush on his cheeks.
"Yeah.. I'm just confused since I thought you didn't like me like that, we've known each other for such a short period of time and all you've shown me is hostility except for last night. I guess it's just been making me wonder about things is all." I look down at my feet then up at him again. His glare had finally gone away and was replaced with some type of sympathy.
"Look, I'm sorry for how I've treated you in the past week, I'm really not good with words. But I really am sorry." He said, coming closer to me. I couldn't help but blush.
"It's okay, really. I was just worried is all." I said, turning more flustered by the second.
"Can we start over? That's if you want." He said, finally inches away from me.
"Yeah, I'd like that. But would you be interested in kissing me again?" I said the last part a bit too quickly. He simply rolled his eyes and gave me a slight peck on the lips. I scoff and wrap my arms around his neck to kiss him again, this time a lot more passionately. He's taken aback my this but eventually kissed me back. My hands graze up and down his back while his hands are on my hips. After a bit of kissing, he picks me up and carries me into his room.
"Woah, already?" I chuckled to which he rolls his eyes and smirks. He begins to kiss down my neck and I play with his pointy hair. I couldn't help but feel a bit tired.
"Hey, Tom? I'm feeling a bit tired." I yawn.
"Oh shit, uhhh, do you want to go back to your place, or?" He gets off of me.
"Could I... I don't know, spend the night here instead?" I blush a deep shade of red as he does too.
"I mean yeah, it is pretty cold out, huh? Uhhh, the bathroom is around the hall if you wanna change into something more comfortable. I have this t shirt that I don't really wear anymore, you can use that if you want." He hands me a simple black t shirt.
"Oh... thanks! I appreciate it." I come back from the bathroom a few minutes later in nothing but his t shirt. I'll admit, it was really cold because of outside, so I quickly get under the covers next to Tom.
"Are you warm enough?" He turns to me.
"Yeah, a little." I say and chuckle a bit. He rolls his eyes and puts his arms around me.
"What about now?" He looks down into my eyes.
"Much better." I say and close my eyes.
