Black Eyes (TomTord Eddsworld Fic)

Ch. 6 Cloudy Facade's

((Future tom is fun to draw and Jon is really precious ok bye))

//Edd's POV//

I had left Tord and Tom to do their own 'friendship uniting', I even think I heard music coming from their room? I dunno, I'm not one to snoop my nose into Tom's business. I've learned that the hard way. I went into Matt's room not long after, wanting to check up on him. Yes, I know, It's.. It's just a simple bruise but Matt gets hurt easily and such. I want to make sure he's okay. I softly knocked before pushing the door open a smidgen, peaking my head in. "You alright in here, Matt?" I asked, soon forcing my way into his room. It was a decent room, messy, but decent. He was curled up under his covers, a odd looking.. Green monkey thing was latched under his arms as he cuddled it. He seemed to be asleep. I smiled softly, going over and sitting on his bed. I ruffled his hair gently.

I don't want to be the stalkerish type in this situation, watching him while he slept and all. So I gently shook him, which he instantly blinked his eyes open too. "Were you asleep..?" I asked, a little concerned and happy I didn't say anything out loud I would have regretted. He shook his head, "No, were you playing with my hair?" He asked innocently, a small smile curving to his lips. I blushed and looked away, "Yeah.. Uhm.."

"I liked it." He chuckled suddenly. I looked back towards him but then returned his smile and slowly ran my hand through his tangle of ginger hair. It was very soft, to say the least. It's like he washes it 24/7, It almost feels like a cloud. He closed his eyes calmly, smiling. "Hows that bruise doing?" I asked with sudden hesitation, making him open his eyes. "It's.. Y'know, okay, stings a little, It's a normal bruise." Matt replied dumbly, making me laugh a little. "Of course it's a bruise, Matt. You fell." I ruffled his hair so it was more messy than how it had originally appeared. With a small whine under his breath, he reached his arms up to smooth out his spikes. "Can I see how the bruise is doing? It shouldn't be too bad." I smiled, the last part mainly being aimed to calm myself. He nodded and tilted his head to where I saw his other cheek.

I carefully gazed upon it, sighing in relief. It was just a little purple is all, nothing to fret. "I bet you'll be healed in no time!" I chuckled, kissing his bruised cheek mindlessly. It wasn't until he squealed that I noticed what I did.
(There's a cliffhanger sort of on Edd's part. Sorry if you don't like EddMatt//)

//Tom's POV//

Tord and I chatted for a bit, and I could tell he was opening up. I didn't, though. I put on a fake happy face, forcing myself to chuckle with him once he seemingly cracked a poorly written joke. I know he's hiding something.. why leave for the city and come back after all these years without explanation?
I don't need eyes to see how suspicious he is, he's hiding something behind his back, and I have to figure out what..
"Tom? Tom?" Tord snapped his fingers in front of my face, making my haze of thoughts part. "Sorry, I was trying to think of a joke I heard from Matt once." I grinned and waved my hand, earning a pat on the back from him. "Sorry, eh- I should have waited." He scratched his head and I chuckled, "No need, it wasn't even all that funny." I shrugged. He nodded, and I glanced at my- no, that's not right. Our door (since we share a room now apparently) and frowned. "Edd's not coming back to unlock us, is he?"
Tord took a breath, "Probably not."
