Tord threw up his hands. "I didn't mean to!"

Matt blinked "I-It's alright.

Tom had finally caught up. He hit Tord over the head. "WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU PUNCH HIM?!"

"It's not my fault! The purple one scared me!"

"Excuusssessss" Tom hissed.

Matt stared back and forth between the two bickering friends.

His eyes sparkled. "I ship it..." he whispered.

Tom stopped and looked at Matt, a light blush dusting his cheeks. "W-WHAT?! NO!"

Tord was blushing, too. But instead of acting flustered, he looked terrified. "DON'T SAY THAT! I'll get in big trouble."

Edd finally piped up. "Why? Are your parents homophobes?"

"What's a 'homophobe'?" Tord tilted his head.

Edd glanced at Tom. "Where did you find this innocent?"

Tord's objected, "I'm not innocent, I'm older than-"

"He actually found me." Tom quickly interjected, covering Tord's mouth.

"Aww" Edd made the ":3" face, "that's cute!~"

Tom let out a frustrated scream. "Where is this shipping suddenly coming from?!"

Edd shrugged and changed the subject. "Who wants coffee?!"

Matt immediately jumped up "MOCHAAAAA" he squealed.

Tord flinched. "Hvordan får en så høyt ??"

Edd, Matt, and Tom stared at him.

"What did your boyfriend say?" Edd blinked.

"He's not my boyfriend, and I have no idea."

Tord narrowed his eyes at the menu board. Nervously, he said. "I have no idea what these flavors are."

Edd guffawed "Tord? You havent been to a coffee shop before?! And Tom! You havent taken Tord out for coffee?!"

"Well, you see" Tord began, "I don't really eat-"

"He's on a diet." Tom finished for him.

"Ew, a health nut." Edd joked.

"Haha."

Tord sipped his latte.  "Dette er så bra." He made a satisfied noise, eyes half closed.

Edd laughed. "I think your boyfriend has a sweet tooth." He nudged Tom who was studying Tord' s face.

"O-oh, yeah!" Tom nodded.

Matt rested his head on the table. "I'm boooorrreeddd." He groaned.

"Mm." Edd glanced at Tom. "Can we go? We still haven't unpacked from the trip."

Tom sighed. "I suppose."

He stood up. "Seeya, Tord." He winked.

And at that moment, Edd got an idea.

"Hey, Tord.."

"Hmm?" Tord blinked up at him.

"Wanna have a sleepover at our place?"
