Alone (Monster AU) [DISCONTINUED]

~10~

I woke up earlier than usual. I guess I was just excited to give Tom a tour of the base! I got out of bed and got my uniform on and did the essentials of getting ready for work. Just as I was about to head to Tom's room I looked back at my closet and remember his uniform. It's nothing special... Just the average blue undershirt, gray vest, black tie, and dark gray jeans. I knew Tom's style pretty well.

I grabbed his uniform and headed over to his room, nodding a greeting to any passing soldiers. I quietly opened the door and walked in. Tom was still sleeping soundly in his bed. I almost tripped over an empty bottle of Smirnoff on the floor. Tom hasn't been here for a week and he's already making the room a mess... That's Classic Stupid Tom for you.

Quietly, I sat his uniform on his bed side table. I couldn't help but stare at Tom sleeping.. He looked so peaceful, it was kinda nice seeing him not yell or be mad for once. That moment didn't last long because Tom just had to wake up..

He didn't notice me at first, he just sat up and yawned. I have to admit, it was kinda cute.. Tom slowly looked at me and fell out of his bed.

"Comm- I mean Red Leader! What are you doing here?! You scared the living hell out of me!" I couldn't help but laugh! For some strange reason, it satisfied me to see Tom on the floor startled.

"I didn't mean to startle you Tom. I just thought I better bring in your uniform!" I turned to walk out the door until I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned to see Tom looking at me with a determined look on his face.

"What do you want Tom?" 

"I was wondering if you could take that camera down." I rolled my eyes. I put that camera up to keep an eye on Tom so he won't escape and possibly get hurt out in that monster mess. Speaking of monster mess, I should probably get some soldiers out there to capture one for experimenting.. Maybe I could even find a cure or a way to tame them.

"Not at the moment Tom, I need to keep an eye on you so you won't do anything suspicious." Tom groaned at this. "Anyway, get dressed. Today is a busy day." With that I made my way out of the room and closed the door behind me.

A few moments later Tom came out of his room. His hair was spiked up normally and by the looks of it, his uniform fit perfectly. He actually looked kinda hot in it..

"Alright Red Leader, where to?" I almost didn't catch what Tom said.

"Uh.. Oh right. First stop is the cafeteria for some breakfast. Right now it's about six so it should be ready." I started walking and Tom followed beside me. I figured on our way there I should probably tell him more about his job.

"So Tom, About you being me assistant." I heard him sigh loudly and I rolled my eyes. "You're going to have to stay by me at all times unless I say otherwise. You will also follow me to meetings. There you will write notes on what we are discussing. Any questions so far?" He nodded.

"What if I don't?" I stopped and looked at him, I stood taller and tried looking intimidating. I could tell it was working by the look on Tom's face.

"You will." I grinned and started walking again. I think I scared Tom enough for him to do what I want him to. By this time we made it to the Cafeteria and it was almost empty. The smell of eggs, bacon, toast, sausage, ham and other breakfast foods filled the room. Since I was the leader, I was able to cut through the line of people with Tom to get our food first.

"Eat well Tom, this might be your only meal today." He nodded and loaded his plate. We both sat down and started eating out meal. It was quiet and kind of awkward until I heard an excited yell. I saw Edd and Matt rushing over toward us and before I knew it, they were sat down by me and Tom. Edd sat on Tom's left side and Matt sat on his right. I could tell he was a little annoyed and I let out a small chuckle.

"What's so funny Red leader?" Matt and Edd looked at Tom with a surprised look on their faces. I could tell they were wondering about the Red Leader thing.

"You look a little annoyed Tom." He only stuffed his mouth trying not to get angry, which made Edd, Matt, and me laugh.

"This is just like old times, right Tord?" Edd chirped happily. I only nodded and decided not to ruin the moment with correcting him on what he calls me. Breakfast was soon over and we all separated to get to our stations. I waved goodbye to Matt and Edd and started on my way.

"Well, now you know what breakfast is going to be like, Tom." I chuckled and looked at him. He still seemed a bit annoyed but I could tell he enjoyed it. This is going to be an interesting day..

Hello! I wanted to do the tour in Tom's point of view so you guys will know his thoughts and how he feels about the whole situation! Anyway, i'll see you tomorrow!
