Chapter Twelve: Cozy Cuddles

Start from the beginning
                                    

"W-Want me to stay with you?" I muttered. He nodded again. I made a mental note to move his bed into my room, because mine is bigger. I laid us down softly, still hugging him. My leg bumped against his cast lightly. I chuckled at the fact it was hot pink.

"Don't worry, I got us out of work for tomorrow." I said, faintly.

"Don't you mean today?" He responded in the same tone of voice. I laughed slightly, my arms still snugly around his waist. I ran my hands through his hair. His breathing evened. He fell asleep. I gazed at him, still being shined on by the moon. He is truly beautiful in my eyes. I wish the old Tom would come back still. I sighed softly, Tom's body heat making me drowsy. My eyelids drooped and I wasn't aware I was falling asleep until I was already dreaming.

Tord's Dream

There in front of me stood two Toms. Identical. They both wore a white T-shirt and black pants. In unison they both said.

"Choose one of us." I was confused until the outfits changed. One of them wore the classic blue hoodie Tom always wore. The other was in our work uniform. I was being told to choose
Old Tom or New Tom. I couldn't choose. I thought about it really hard. Apparently I took too long. They both disappeared. Words rang out in my head.

"You're too late."

"You're too late."

"You're too late."

"You're too late."

End of Tord's Dream

I woke up with a start. I still felt a body next to me. I opened my eyes slightly to see Tom gazing at me. I shuffled slightly to get a better hold on him. He gasped lightly. Apparently he thought I was still asleep. I leaned forward a little bit.

"Good morning." I said louder than my normal voice. He jumped.

"Ah! Sorry! I didn't mean to scare you!" I said apologetically. 

"No, no, it's fine!" He insisted. I sat up. 

"I'm going to go make breakfast, do you wanna come with me?" I asked. He nodded with a smile. I walked out of his room and into the kitchen. I ran a hand through my hair as I walked. I opened up the fridge to see eggs, and milk. That was it. I grabbed them nonetheless. I decided to make just plain eggs. 

---Time Skip Until The Eggs Are Done---

I set two plates of eggs on the table, and left some for Matt and Edd. I walked into the living room to see Tom sitting on the couch watching TV. I could scare him, but I'm feeling nice. 

"Tom, Eggs are done." I said, while tapping his shoulder. He looked at me and nodded. 

"I had a weird dream last night" He said to me, while sitting down at the table.

"What was it about?" I asked.

"Well, you were there-" I interrupted him. "Could you say I'm the man of your dreams?" He glared at me playfully. "Anyways.. You were there, but you were younger. You wore a black hoodie. I was there, I had a skull shirt, and braces. Edgy am I right? Matt and Edd were there too. Edd had his hair super long in front of his eyes, and Matt wore glasses. Anyways, we were behind a building, and we were spray painting the back of it!" He chuckled before continuing his story. 
"We spray painted things like 'Ice Cream? More like Eye Sore' and just dumb things like that. And a guy came out and yelled at us, but you spray painted his face, and we ran! That was it!" He laughed.

"That actually happened!" I said, excitedly.

"Whoa! Really?!"

"Yeah! That was the back of Old Norman's Ice Cream. We hated that old guy." I said, recalling the memory.

"Neat-o! I must be getting my memories back slowly!"

Edd walked in, and smelled the eggs.

"Hey! How long have you guys been up?" Edd asked, while grabbing a serving of eggs, still leaving enough for Matt. He sat down next to me.

"Just about twenty minutes." I said glancing at the clock. Tom nodded.

"Hey Tord, will you go wake up Matt?" Edd asked sweetly. I couldn't say no to him, he would probably kick me out of the house. 

"Okay, on one condition, you and Matt go to the store. We're pretty much out of food." I said, complying. Edd nodded.

"I needed more Cola anyways.." He muttered loud enough to hear. 

I walked into Matt's room, stepping over all his junk. I shook his shoulder slightly. 

"Matt wake up." Nothing

"Matt wake up." No response. I took one of his mirrors off of the wall.

"If you don't get up now, I'll break this mirror." I threatened. Matt shot up, and stole the mirror. He turned and hissed at me.

"Okay, well there are eggs in the kitchen." I said, not really knowing how to respond to that.

Twenty minutes later, Edd and Matt were out the door, heading over to the store. I had a mental checklist going through my head of what I needed to do today. Move the bed.

"Hey Tom, do you wanna move your bed into my room?" I asked casually.

"Oh, uh, sure! I probably won't get scared anymore!" He said cheerfully. I nodded and got up. I went to his room and picked up the mattress and threw it on the floor. Underneath the mattress there was Smirnoff. Tons of it. There must've been thirty bottles. I picked them all up and put them aside. I'll deal with them later.

---Time Skip Until Tom's Now In Tord's Room---

Now that Tom's bed is in my room, I had to deal with all of his stuff. I put Susan in a special guitar case, and put that under his bed. Safe. I got Tomee Bear and set him on Tom's bedside table. Good. Now for the Smirnoff. I grabbed a box, and put all of the Smirnoff in it. I wrote Smirnoff in big letters on it and shoved it in the fridge. Maybe we'll all forget about that.

Maybe we'll all forget.

OOF That was a really long chapter.


In the middle of writing my sister called me downstairs and had a kitten.

Guess we have a cat now.

Will you guys put name suggestions? She's a girl, and her fur is gray. She's really fluffy and mellow.

Well that's it!!

Bye!!
