Eddsworld + Child!Reader {CONTINUING}

While They Do That...

-Yo! Sorry for seeming like I lied to you about the end of the hiatus. I've been having issues with logging in, and all progress almost deleted, but all is good now. Though, the debate on continuing Eddsworld stories is decreasing, due to the fandom only getting worse...couldn't even find a good picture of Tom without being surrounded but lewd and disrespectful pictures....so I'm on my edge here-

"Tord," Edd begins, looking over at his horn haired friend who glances over at him, raising an eyebrow. "What did you do this time?" Tord's face lights up, but not in a very good way. More like when you get blamed for something and you just got home. That kind of face. "What? What did I do?!" Edd puts his fists on his hips. "That's exactly what I asked! Have you been planning world domination again?" He inquires nonchalantly.

The two continued to bicker in the hallway outside of the auditorium while the others stood together in a bunch. Since Tom was the only responsible adult who wasn't an issue, he was left with 3 children. Each of which he made a kiddie leash out of hoodies. Especially on Matt. Especially...Matt. Max crossed his arms over his yellow T-shirt. He bitterly glared over at Edd and Tord as they went off. Y/n clung to Tom's leg, knowing it was the best way to keep themself out of trouble.

Tom sniffs, pulling down on his face with one hand. "Welp," He starts, grabbing Max's attention and causing Matt to stop fidgeting. "I'm bored, let's go cause havoc." This gives out a happy cheer from Matt and Y/n, Y/n hopping off his leg. Tom covers his mouth, indicating for them to be silent. The two cover their mouths happily. Tom pulls the gang by the hoodies, leading them to the closest exit. "Edd's gonna notice we're gone." Max smirks up at Tom mischievously.

"You'd be surprised."

Tom and the other three leave the building. Matt shades his eyes with his hand. "It's so hot...like me~" Tom tugs on his hoodie, almost making Matt trip. "Gah! What was that for!? Jealous of my good looks?" Tom narrows his eyes. "Ha, you wish."

Y/n hops up and down, happy to be doing something. "This damn Australian sun is gonna give me sunburn.." Max whines, sweating. Actually, Max, Australian doesn't have a sun! It's Earth's sun!" Y/n corrects, smiling to themselves, even if they said Australian (instead of Australia). Max rolls his eyes. "Smart ass." He hisses, stepping away. Tom tugs on Max, pulling him back over, causing the boy to angrily grunt.

Y/n ran all over the place–in the distance they could reach–and enthusiastically poked anything and anyone within an arms width. They spy an ice cream truck, and begins to run around like a puppy. Tom keeps his eyes on them. "What's up?" Y/n freezes and points at the truck, one leg arched in the air. "Ice cream!!!" They shout happily. Matt runs to their side. "Ice cream!?" Y/n nods rapidly. Max slowly smiles. He was in the mood for anything cold, but was to afraid to ask to go. Tom catches his expression. Without looking down at him, Tom softly says, "Max," the boy looks up at him, quickly hiding his smile. "Want some?" The tall boy glances down at Max, who looks away. "Ye-yeah, please." Tom smirks. "Alright, Y/n!" Y/n swirls around. "Yeah!?" Tom narrows his eyes and gets in a running position. "Go!"

Everyone knew to immediately grab on, as the hyper child zoomed past the crowds of people and to the end of the line. Steve was in a current frozen position and looked as if Tom stood infront of a bunch of hair dryers. Max dizzily spun around, while Matt stood just fine beside his eager partner in crime. "Vanilla!" Y/n chirps. "Chocolate!" Matt chirps back. The two continue to name flavors, keeping their eyes on the prize and off the sun. Though it was hard to when your a small child and short young man at the end of a long line.

Meanwhile, Max was internally grateful. Tom seemed more cheery than usual, and Max seeing his good attitude brought his up, too. Maybe it's because they're a lot alike. Or Max just needed a brother figure. Either way, their small family was slowly coming together more and more.
