Tom's POV

"You both are in so much trouble. Your lucky Matt was asleep last night." Edd said, sitting down on the couch across from us. Me and Tord we're currently sitting on the regular couch beside each other.

"Where even is Matt?" I asked.

"He's in his room. I waited for him to go there so I could talk to you both privately." Edd said calmly, folding his arms.

"I don't know what else to explain-"
"Just tell me, who planned this?" Edd asked.

Me and Tord both looked at each other.
"He did." We both said.
I snapped my head back to look at him. "No, you started it!"

"What are you talking about? I was just trying to confront you!" Tord narrowed his eyes at me

"You pinned me to the wall! I was trying to-"

"That's enough!" Edd yelled.
We both sighed and looked at him.

"I don't care about what you did, but you clearly can't give me a decent answer. Your both to blame." Edd said. "Besides this, it is very obvious you both had feelings for each other and still do. Are you together or something?"

"Nope." I shook my head

"Then are you two dating?" Edd asked.

"No, that date was just a friend thing." I glared at Tord.
He raised an eyebrow at me.

"Does that mean you were friends with benefits?!" Edd asked.

Me and Tord looked at each other for a second before shrugging.
"I wouldn't call it friends with benefits-" Tord rubbed the back of his neck.

"Then are you going to be friends with benefits or,, maybe more?" Edd raised his eyebrow at us.

"Well uhm.." I looked away.
I liked Tord, but I don't know if I would be more then just friends with benefits with him,, unless he wanted to of course.

"Ah, I don't know." Tord mumbled.

"What do you mean you don't know? This is a problem." Edd facepalmed.

"What do you mean?-" I asked.

"You were about to have sex with each other last night, and now you don't even know if you want to be together or not." Edd sighed.

Tord's face warmed up slightly, yet he didn't change his calm expression. Meanwhile, my face was already heating up by the second.

"You guys really need to face your feelings. Do you like each other or not?" Edd asked.

"Edd I don't think we should talk about this now-" I said, clearly embarrassed.

"Tom is right. Can we speak somewhere private about this?" Tord asked.

"Yes, after this you can." Edd nodded.

"After what?-" Tord asked.

"After my lecture you can." Edd started. "You two better not be caught in the hallway doing that ever again, I already have enough things to watch out for. If you do it, do it in your room. And make sure one of you cleans up afterwords. Ya'll are nasty." Edd made a disgusted expression.

"Yeah yeah, sorry Edd." Tord rolled his eyes

"Yeah Tord, don't try that shit on a wall. It was very uncomfortable to be pushed against the hard wall." I glared at him.

"I don't need any further details!" Edd facepalmed again. "Just- go somewhere to talk about it." He sighed.

"We're off the hook?" Tord asked.

"No, your still on the hook. I'm just letting you free,, for now." Edd said, signaling for us to go away.

Tord sighed and grabbed my arm, practically dragging me to his room.
I was assuming this would be just like my dream.
I was right.

He sat down and patted a seat next to him on the bed, in which I sat down next to him. I looked away from him, since our faces were too close. Sure, we already kissed two times already,, yes I counted the dream too,, but it was still pretty awkward.

"Oi, look at me so we can talk." Tord narrowed his eyes at me.

I scooted away from him a bit, before looking at him. "What do you want?"

"I want to talk about our 'feelings.' " Tord said softly.

"I don't have any feelings for you!" I shot back.

"That's not the exact vibes you were giving off last night." Tord rolled his eyes. "Unless you were drunk or something."

"Well maybe I was, commie!" I lied.

"Yeah I bet, I didn't see you drink any alcohol."

"Whatever, I was just tired then. I didn't know what I was doing." I looked away again.

"Come on Tom, why can't you just tell me how you feel? Is it really that hard?" Tord sighed.

"Yes!- I mean, I don't have any feelings for you other then hatred." I corrected myself.

"Tom, I know that's a big fat lie."
"It's not a lie!"
"Why were you blushing so bad last night then?"

I thought of a decent excuse. "I had a fever."

"Really, that's the best lie you can come up with?"
"Shut up!"

"Tom, I won't judge, just tell me the truth. How do you feel about me?" Tord frowned slightly.

I looked back at Tord, before sighing. "Tord I-..."

Tord perked up, waiting for me to finish my sentence. "Go on."

"I- uhm.. god this is so embarrassing-" I felt my face heat up again, and my heart started beating faster.

Tord just raised his eyebrow. "Continue."

I sighed, and without hesitation I pulled Tord into a kiss. Tord was a bit shocked, but he ended up kissing back.
After a few seconds we broke the kiss, smiling at each other.

"I love you."

Heh- cliff hanger. If you skipped the chapter before, then you probably have no idea what Edd is talking about 👀 but oh well. I will start working on another chapter after this, even if I posted two chapters in a row-
Why does my chapters keep getting shorter? 😔✨
