Opposites Attract [Old]

Spy

(Another TomEdd Warning)

Edd Pov:

I'm not really used to being next to someone in bed.

Especially hugging them.

I somehow managed to sleep well with Tom in my arms nevertheless.

I start waking up.

I see Tom's face sleeping soundly.

I gently rub my thumb on his bottom lip.

His lips look so beautiful.

I know I shouldn't, but I kiss his lips lovingly and close my eyes.

I enjoy the softness of his lips.

I know Tom's married and in love with someone else, but I can't help but love him.

I roughly get pushed away.

I open my eyes to see Tom with a shocked face as he sits up.

He looks at me.

I sit up and look down.

"Sorry. I shouldn't have done that," I say.

His shocked expression fades and turns into a sympathetic 1.

Tom sighs.

"It's okay Edd. I know you love me, but I can't leave Tord," Tom says.

"What's so special about him Tom?" I ask Tom.

"What do you mean?"

"You never leave his side even when he's the reason you suffer, you always forgive him even when he does the most insane things, and you protect him like he needs you to survive. What does he have that I don't?!"

Tom looks down and seems to be thinking for a moment.

Tom smiles softly.

"All of that's true, but what I love most about him is that he can have feelings for someone other than himself and still have selfish intentions. He seems to care for people even though he's mostly fighting for himself. He has a evil side to him and a good side to him, but I also love him for who he is,"

"What about me then?..."

Tom's smile fades.

"You may have been my best friend ever since we were young, but I don't know if I can feel romantic towards you,"

"Why not?"

"I don't know Edd..."

"You can say all that about Tord, but nothing about me?!"

Tears fill my eyes.

"I'm sorry Edd..."

"Can't I somehow prove to you that I have a chance with you even if you don't believe it?"

"Edd I love Tor-"

"I know all about it Tom. I know I'm just not good enough. I'm not muscular or rough or even handsome like him,"

"Appearance doesn't matter to me Edd,"

"Then why can't you say anything about me?"

I start crying.

Tom cups my cheeks and wipes away my tears with his thumbs.

Tom kisses my lips with his soft 1's.

He pulls back after a minute.

Just that kiss makes my heart melt.

"Don't leave me Tom," I say.
