Opposites Attract [Old]

I'm Tired...

Tord Pov:

"How could you treat Tom like this?! You've made him feel helpless to you! You're a monster Tord!" Edd yells.

...

"Speak god damnit!" Edd says.

...

"Just.. speak.." Edd says.

I hear sobs coming from him so I look up at him.

He's crying...

I never liked to see Edd cry...

"I'm sorry Edd..." I say.

"Sorry doesn't c-cut it Tord!" Edd says trying to sound angry.

"I really hate it when you cry..."

I didn't mean to say that!

I see Edd looking at me with blush coating his tear stained cheeks.

Edd looks away.

"You don't care about anyone Tord... Even Tom," Edd says and walks to the door.

When Edd puts his hand on the door handle I say, "Wait Edd."

"What?"

...

"Say it," Edd says.

I sigh.

"What do you like to do with Tom when you guys are together?.." I say.

"Tord I'm not having sex with your husband,"

"I don't mean that,"

Edd looks at me.

"What do you mean then?"

"Do you guys have fun? Like old times?"

"Why do you want to know?"

"I don't really know..."

"Bull crap,"

"I guess I just want to know if you guys are like you used to be without me in your life... You know... Like having adventures?"

Edd takes his hand off the door handle and sighs.

"No adventures have been going on, but we do do things we used to do on our mean time. Like how I drink cola, Tom getting drunk, and Matt admiring himself in his mirror..."

"I wish I could've been there..."

"No you don't... You love being in power too much to really miss the old days..."

"I may love power, but I also don't enjoy being alone and I was never alone with you guys,"

"My only wish is to be with everyone together again, but I know now that nothing will ever be the same again,"

Edd looks down with a sad expression.

"That doesn't have to be true..."

Edd looks up at me again.

"What do you mean?"

....

"Never mind..." I say.

"No... Tell me..." Edd says.

...

"Tell me," Edd repeats.

"What if I disbanded my army and everything could go back to normal..." I say.

"That's impossible Tord... We both know it. You've done too much to this world..."

"It doesn't hurt to try,"

"Why do you want this all of a sudden? What happened to being Red Leader?"

"I'm tired Edd... I'm just so tired..."

"You're tired?"

"I'm 42 already Edd... Life is being shit to me and I feel the only way to make everything better is for us to all be together again... Like we used to be..."

Me and Edd look down.

"I thought I was the only 1 feeling that way..."

I look up at Edd to see he has a soft smile on his face.

"You feel the same way?"

"I've felt this way ever since you took over London Tord,"

"How about we start over,"

Edd looks at me.

I smile and say, "Nice to meet you Edd, I'm Tord,"

Tom Pov:

I stare blankly at the floor.

I wonder what Edd and Tord are doing.

"You okay?" Matt asks me.

...

"You don't look very sad... or anything else for that matter.. Just blank," Matt says.

"I'm not sure what to feel," I say.

"Me either actually,"

I'm not sure if I should be happy for Edd stopping Tord or sad that Tord got captured...

Why did Tord even surrender anyway?

Is it because of me?

He's such a idiot...

You can't just show yourself in a place where people despise you!

They could have shot him down instantly!

I hold my head frustratingly and grip my hair.

We hear speakers come on and a voice says, "Red Leader is disbanding his army!!"

We can hear cheers from all around base.

He's...

Disbanding his army?...

Are they going to kill him?!

I start to panic and my purple veins start showing again.

"T-Tom?!" Matt says.

I stand up and feel myself growing...

I run out of the room.

Tord Pov:

Edd finishes untying the ropes that kept me to the chair.

There's really no point in having a army anymore.

It's making everyone crazy and I'm tired.

What I mean by tired?

I'm tired of being a bad guy...

I want to be happy again.

And the truth is is that I was much happier being with friends than ruling countries.

I miss our adventures.

The Red Leader side of me was trying to convince the emotional side of me that being a communist is better than having friends, but it always felt so wrong when I believed that.

I've been keeping it in for so long...

Maybe... Just maybe...

Everything can change.
