"There's such a sad love
Deep in your eyes, a kind of pale jewel~"
Tom sighed as he sat outside Tord's bedroom. As far as Tord knew, Tom hated him. They forgave him for the whole "giant robot incident" and he helped them rebuild the house, but Tord never forgave himself. He loved Tom the way the alcoholic loved him, but neither decided to show it yet. Meanwhile, Tord sat in his room, crying. He clung to his anime girl body pillow he taped Tom's face to and whimpered softly into it. Tom sat outside and listened to him cry. He knew it was from a nightmare that they never forgave him since he heard Tord talking to Edd about it. It was a reoccurring nightmare that Tom wanted so badly to help him get away from. He took a slow, deep breath and knocked on the door. Tord opened it slowly, his usually cold silver eye soft. He was still sniffling. Tom said nothing and hugged him tightly.
"Wh...T-Tom, what're you d-doing...?" Tord asked, his thick accent shaky with fear and regret.
"I love you..." Tom said as he hugged tighter. Tord stood there, dumbfounded with tears still running down his soft face. He shakily hugged back.
"I love you too..."
"Opened and closed, within your eyes
I'll place the sky within your eyes~"
Tom pulled away and smiled gently, seeing his Norwegian blink away some tears. The way his eye looked, soft and colorless, it almost seemed like the cloudy sky outside. He gently held the scarred right side of Tord's face.
"There's such a fooled heart beatin' so fast in search of new dreams
A love that will last within your heart
I'll place the moon within your heart~"
Tom smiled, completely clueless of Tord's army successfully helping him conquer the world. He wanted Tom to be his second hand; to keep Tom at his side for the rest of their lives.
"As the pain sweeps through, makes no sense for you
Every thrill has gone
It wasn't too much fun at all~"
He saw the scar on his arm, blinking and suddenly seeing the gash in his arm that he gave the Brit. Bloody and deep, it had a blue torn sleeve above it. The words echoed in his head. "I'm...Not...Your...FRIEND!" Tord suddenly snapped back to reality, grabbing Tom and crying into his shoulder. He held onto the Brit, his robotic arm keeping Tom where he was.
"I'm sorry...I'm so...So sorry..."
"But I'll be there for you-ooh-ooh
As the world falls down~"
"Shh, it's okay. You're okay, Tord." Tom said in a soothing tone, a hand rubbing the back covered by a red hoodie. It stopped as Tom kept him close and gently caressed his head.
"Falling
Falling down
Falling in love~"
Tord pulled away, yanking him into a hard kiss that softened as they held each other. Tord let Tom control where they went, their actions a bit awkward due to the slight height difference. Tord was taller, but he wanted Tom to control what he does. Just this once...
"Please stay with me, Tom..."
"I'll paint you mornings of gold
I'll spin you Valentine evenings, though we're strangers 'till now~"
Tom nodded. "I'll stay..."
"Thank you...Thank you, Tom...Thank you so much..."
Tom chuckled. "It's okay, Tord...I'm gonna stay with you~"
Tord sniffled, gripping Tom tighter. Tears still ran down his face, but they were tears of joy. "I thought you hated me..."
"I never hated you, I fell for you and never had the guts to admit it...~"
"Glad you told me now...~"
Tom pulled away and took his hand. "C'mon, the clouds cleared up~ We can see the stars~" he smiled gently. Tord nodded and followed him. They went outside and climbed up onto the roof, being careful to avoid Tom's bear traps he always kept for Santa.
"We're choosing the path between the stars
I'll leave my love between the stars~"
Tord smiled as he watched them sparkle in the night sky. He scooched a bit closer to Tom and rested his head on the Brit's shoulder. Tom smiled softly and wrapped his arm around Tord.
"As the pain sweeps through, makes no sense for you
Every thrill has gone
It wasn't too much fun at all~"
Tord winced a bit. His scarred side was resting on Tom and he was still sensitive on those areas. His pain became a bit unbearable, so he moved away from Tom. The blue-hooded man looked at him with concern. Tord carefully went around him and laid down on his other side.
"But I'll be there for you-ooh-ooh
As the world falls down~"
Tom gently kissed him, laying down so Tord could use his chest as a pillow. Tord smirked as he spotted a cloud of smoke, the boom a bit after.
"Tord, what was that?"
"My men helping me conquer the world...~"
"Tord, you can't do this!"
"Thomas, if you let me, I promise to keep you safe. You'll be my second hand, Tom...~"
"Second hand nothing! Tord, I don't want you to put yourself in this kind of danger!"
Tord held Tom close. "I know what I'm doing. Please, Tom...I need you by my side..."
Tom sighed and hugged back.
"Falling
As the world falls down
Falling
As the world falls down
Falling
Falling
Falling
Falling in love
As the world falls down
Falling
Falling
Falling
Falling
Falling in love
As the world falls down~"
Tord smiled as he listened to the gunshots and explosions, keeping a tight grip on his Tom. Tom watched as an entire area became devastated.
"Makes no sense at all
Makes no sense to fall~"
"I don't understand why you need to do this..."
"Don't think about it. It's alright, Tom."
"Alright...If that's what'll keep you happy..."
"Falling
As the world falls down
Falling
Falling in love
As the world falls down
Falling
Falling
Falling in love
As the world falls down~"
Tord smiled gently and kissed Tom, pulling him down so the Brit was over him. "You're mine, got it~?"
Tom nodded. He was a bit scared, but his eyes said something else. He wanted Tord and Tord wanted him. Tord chuckled as he wrapped his legs around Tom.
"Do it~"
"As you wish~"
Fire lit up the area the commotion came from, Tord smirking devilishly in the fire's light. They shared one rough kiss before Tord let Tom take control.
"You're in for such a ride~"
"I know~"
