Drunk Tears

Tom does something atrocious to Edd and Matt while he's incredibly drunk and once he's sober he doesn't remember a single thing, so when he goes to ask them what he did wrong they only get angry and slam the door on him.

Once Tom realizes it's hopeless to try to talk to them, he figures the best thing for his friends is for him to move out from his apartment so they don't have to see him anymore. He only wants them happy and if getting rid of him completely if what will make them happy, he'll gladly leave.

Tord on the other hand has disbanded the army because after the accident his right arm started having nerve issues that caused him unbearable pain for the smallest things, which the army wanted to solve by amputating it and replacing it with a robotic one but Tord was too afraid of the pain that was going to come even if he was numbed and realized there's no way he could go on with his dreams.

Tord ended up living on the street while Tom lived in Edwardo's apartment in another complex far away from Edd's, just until he could earn enough money to get another apartment somewhere even farther away from everyone.

Tom and Tord end up meeting on a bus stop seat while Tord is going to head out of London and Tom is heading back to Edwardo's apartment. They both have a long conversation and express the feelings no one else wanted to hear, making them almost instantly closer and to the point that Tom gives him all the money he's saved up in his pocket to Tord just so he could get a good hotel room for a few months.

They were then friends.
