"Never Fall for the Enemy"

Prologue

The Red Army, led by the infamous Red Leader and (Y/N)'s boss. Red Leader had taken a liking towards (Y/N) and had promoted her to 'Queen.' The highest position a girl could get, but (Y/N) didn't really bother for the actual relationship. She only let herself stay with him because she gets paid well for doing nothing more than pretending that she is infatuated with the leader.

"(Y/N), dear," Oh, how (Y/N) hated it when he called her that, but she put on a smile before turning to look at Red Leader. He beckoned (Y/N) to him as she obliged, sitting down in front of him. Red Leader intertwined his fingers, leaning his face against them with furrowed brows.

"Yes, sir?" (Y/N) said, refusing to call him by his name, not liking how close Red Leader hoped they would be after 2 years of 'dating.'

"Please, (Y/N). We've been over this. Call me, Tord," he said with soft eyes. The soft look disappeared in a few seconds as the thought crossed his mind. He launched himself back on his chair, reaching the file cabinet and making small talk with (Y/N), stalling the mission he was about to give her.

"Tord," (Y/N) spat, "What was your reason for calling me to your office?"

"I have a mission for you," Tord's fingers grazed over the letters, only checking E, T and M, pulling out a single file for each letter. He pushed himself back to his desk and slammed the files on the desk, the manila folders were labeled, "Edd Gold, Tom Squidgewell and Matt Fargreanes" all with the word, "Threat" written across the whole folder with a bright red marker. "These are Edd, Tom and Matt,"

Tord opened the files individually, starting with Matt. The photo was of a ginger with a purple hoodie and green overcoat as his brown eyes shined with a type of innocence similar to a child. "This is Matt, he's infatuated with himself and is the idiot of the group, most of the time. He cares a lot about the two and is the second nicest person of the team. He'd be the easiest to take down as long as you don't mess with his face or piss him off,"

Tord closed the file, moving it aside and opening the next one. Tom, his brown hair and hooded black eyes, or lack thereof, gave him a calm presence. Tord's brows furrowed even more the longer he stared at the picture of the blue-hooded enemy. "This is Tom, the biggest threat of the three. He may seem normal but, this man is possessed by a demon that only takes control of his body when he is extremely angry. He's smart, at times, and has a negative attitude towards almost anything. If you can gain his trust, this'll make everything a lot easier. A tip, don't touch his bass. He cares a lot about that thing and I assure you, if you make one wrong move, this whole plan will go south,"

"And lastly," Tord said, throwing Tom's file to the side and opening the last file. (Y/N) felt her interest peak as she noticed how normal he looked. His brown hair and eyes, complimented by his green hoodie, made him seem as though he could do no wrong. "Edd, is about the kindest person you'll ever meet, well, most of the time. He has an obsession with both Cola and bacon, though the former is stronger than the latter. But, be careful, he can be just as dangerous as Tom when he believes you've wronged him,"

Tord stood up and picked up the files and put them back in their places before facing (Y/N) again. "(Y/N), I want you to blend in with these three. I'm giving you two options, either leave them defenseless or kill them, "

"Kill them?! Sir, I can't do that?!"

"It's Tord, and I would do it myself if I could. But after last time, I can't do that. They don't trust me anymore, especially after my little stunt. So..." Tord stood up and placed a small kiss on (Y/N)'s cheek. "Don't fail me, dear,"

"Don't call me dear," (Y/N) growled, rubbing her cheek to get rid of the lingering kiss, causing Tord to chuckle a bit.

"So, feisty," Tord walked to the door, reaching for the handle but stopped in mid-action "Oh, and (Y/N)," (Y/N) turned to face Tord with a small 'Yes, sir?' "Remember, Rule #1: Never fall in love with the enemy,"

"Yes, sir. I'll keep that in mind. I won't let you down," (Y/N) said, saluting Red Leader as he gives her a sweet smile.

"I'm counting on that," Red Leader grabbed the door knob and twisted it, pushing the door open and walking out the room, leaving (Y/N) alone with her thoughts and guilt. Oh, why did I agree to this?!

I do know that Tord being Red Leader was never confirmed to be canon and is just a head canon that is widely accepted among the Eddsworld fandom but, I really liked the concept and decided to roll with it. Some of you may have noticed that I didn't use the actual last name of the person associated with the character. I don't feel comfortable using the person's actual last name and I know that they don't either, so I am trying my best to not use last names whenever possible.

Also, I'm thinking of adding art by me to the chapters. If you like this idea, you can check out the poll I've made and vote. Anyways, hope you liked the prologue!
