Episode 7:Bonding Together

"We should hang out, and spend quality time together!"

Tom mentally shriveled up, Tord started to sweat as he thought of things the two of them could bond over; this was the point where Tord realizes that the book given to him was in fact for children that are 2 years old to 14, playing catch or teaching him how to ride a bike is definitely not the activities an adult would like to do, unless?

"do you want to play catch?"

"no"

Tord fiddled with his hands until fire started to ignite from the tip of his fingertips; there was definitely a part in the book where it had mentioned joining in with your child's favorite activity to understand the better. Tom was about to leave but Tord stopped him once again:

"what do you want to do? Maybe I can enjoy the things you do instead of forcing you into activities that bore you"

Tom froze, he weighed his options: in hell, he usually spent most of his times in night clubs being a stripper while getting drunk, dancing in raves to then hook up and hanging out with Matt; they could just go to a club minus all the fun things he does, maybe he could drink just a few drinks. Tord is definitely not the type to drink, or dance nor enjoy loud music.

"I go clubbing"

Is there even a club in this country?

Tom pulled out his phone and texted Matt quickly, asking if he knew something about clubs in the area.

'what a coincidence, I was going to bring you to this really interesting club, hoping that it could be a special me and you thing ;)'

Tom smiled and replied with a heart. Tord raised his eyebrow and tapped his fingers against the table before speaking again,

"great! Let's go clubbing then, I'll join you to see what the buzz is about and make sure no creep touches you"

Tom's body tensed up, it would be kind of rude to decline Tord's offer but it's probably for the better.

"I'm not sure you'll enjoy it Tord"

"Don't worry about me, I just want to experience something out of my comfort zone"

Tom picked up his mug and started washing it, Tord walked behind Tom and leaned into Tom's ear.

"I'll drive you there"

A chill travelled down his spine, Tord's breath against his skin was something, he pushed Tord away and wiped his wet hands on his shirt. Tom raised his eyebrow, Tord beamed an awkward smile before letting out a meek laugh.

"what the fuck was that?"

"Ah! I just—wanted to try the thing my friend does to me"

Tom raised his eyebrow and crossed his arms in disbelief,

"You have a friend?"

"Yes! His name is Edd and we've been friends for a very long time"

"you need better friends then, fine, you can go with us"

Matt swirled his wine glass around as reread past conversations he had with Tom, his eyes turned into small slits whenever he saw Tord's name pop up on their conversations, Tord is obviously bad news to Tom, he'll never understand the guy like he does; Just the thought of Tord being with Tom is enough to make his blood boil. Tom was his, although he's on a loose leash it doesn't mean that he could boondoggle with people he doesn't like.

Matt threw his wine glass to the side, and opened his wardrobe to look for an outfit that would surely impress Tom. The anticipation in his veins made his skin burn, the two of them can finally do the things they used to do together; just like old times.

While looking through his clothes he came across a white coat that had a small angel embroidered on it, looking at it radiates a certain level of anger within him...Just thinking about Tord is already making him extremely peeved, the coat slowly turned into ashes in his clutch. If he sees Tord in the club, he's going to absolutely lose his shit.

His phone vibrated against the table, he quickly rushed to it and his heart eased when he saw that it was notification from Tom.

'meet you at the club babe, don't pick me up, Tord's driving me there like a chauffeur'

The entire room suddenly erupted into flames, his anger heightened because that messaged solidified the doubt that he had. A fire sprinkler suddenly activated and soaked Matt, his whole body started to cool off, maybe Tord is just going to bring him to the club but not spend the whole time with him. Matt let out a low laugh as water continued to sprinkle down inside the room.

Tord sighed as he looked through his wardrobe, judging by his background research on what to wear to a club and all his clothes are too formal. He continued looking through his drawers until he came across something somewhat passable...

It was really new for him to be going somewhere social, all dressed up for someone else.

Tom squeezed his legs together and rubbed Dante's stomach until it threw up a shiny flask, he rubbed the saliva off using a handkerchief and took a swig. The one night he's with Matt and he can't even go crazy because Tord would be there; he might as well do it now. He video called Matt and waited for him to pick up.

"hey babe~ what are you doing?"

"blow drying some clothes"

"stop that and let's have fun instead, I'm bored, we probably won't be able to do it, Tord's going to be there"

Matt kissed his teeth and rolled his eyes, Tom whined until Matt obliged. Tom bit his lip and flaunted his legs at the camera.

Clothes fell on Dante's body, he shook it off his body and proceeded to push the door to chill outside.

While practicing how to stride, Tord saw Dante curled into a ball outside of Tom's door, he gave the dog a pat on the head and returned to his room to continue practicing how to look more suave.
