Episode 17: Good Morning blondie pt.1

Tord woke up beside Tom, their faces inches apart as he lightly brushed the hair off Tom's face just to admire him. His skin was extremely white compared to Tom's, he looked adorable when he slept, he was calm and at peace. Tord's heart pounded against his chest, it felt like he was going to wake up Tom if he didn't calm himself down enough.

Tom's eyes fluttered open; a smile formed on his face as his arms pulled Tord close to him.

"Good Morning"

Tord softly smiled as he ruffled Tom's hair, he then got up and left the room. Tom saw Dante happily wagging his tail, Tom's lips turned into a thin line.

"It's just the spell talking isn't it?"

He put on his glasses before walking downstairs to see Tord cooking breakfast, Dante ran towards Tord and nuzzled his head against Tord's leg.

The whole kitchen felt warm, the sunlight illuminated the room, and everyone was happy around one another. Tord looked at him lovingly, motioning for him to sit down in front of him while Dante sat in the middle; they were like a family... How is he supposed to act in this predicament? Was there a right way? Were they moving too fast?

Tom sat down in front of Tord and silently ate his breakfast. Tord rested his head against his arm and watched Tom eat.

"Is something wrong Tord?"

Tord snapped out of his apparent trance and fumbled with a nearby book, making it look as if he was reading it causing his own mug of coffee to fall on the floor. Tom stood up from his seat and grab a rag to clean it up, much against Tord's protest.

"I just noticed how nice you look without your glasses, you're very pretty, I lo-"

Tom's face burned a bright red, he immediately turned his back and started picking the broken ceramic; the clock on the wall displayed '7:39', giving Tom a bit of leeway to escape the situation.

"WOW! Look at the time! Dante, can you fetch me my bag? Thank you and Thank you for the breakfast Tord, let's talk this evening and uh—bye"

Tom grabbed the broken ceramic with his hands and tossed it into the bin, he then left the rag at the sink before running up the stairs. Dante licked Tord's cheek before following behind Tom leaving Tord alone to think.

Tom slipped on his shoes and was about to head out the door but Tord held onto his wrist. The temptation to kiss him on the cheek was making his skin burn, he puckered his lips and closed his eyes, Tom's eyes widened and bent over to dodge the kiss.

Tord fell forwards and hit his face against the floor, Tom helped Tord up and saw a bruise on his forehead while blood dripped from his lip. Tom grabbed his handkerchief

From the inside of his bag and applied pressure to the wound.

"ouchie"

"Tord you're bleeding how is this even possible? What were you even thinking?"

Tord let out a lopsided chuckle as he melted into Tom's touch.

"Just a goodbye kiss, I know all couples do it"

Tom flinched at the word 'couple', he fixed the glasses on his face and planted multiple kisses against his cheek. Tord felt like putty in Tom's hands, his heart started pounded against his chest as Tom gave more kisses near his lips.

"None on the lips?"

"After work, see you soon"

Tord's smile turned into a thin line as he sadly waved goodbye to Tom before walking inside. His face felt sticky, he stared into a nearby mirror and admired all the kiss marks Tom left on his face.

Dante smelled Tord's face and started licking some of the Chapstick off his cheek, Tord gently swatted Dante off and called Edd.

"Hey Edd, can you come over?"
