{ Chapter 1: This is normal. }

Toms POV
I woke up to the smell of bacon on a Saturday morning, which was a good sign. Every day that Edd cooked bacon was definitely going to be a good day. I was never really the biggest fan of bacon, but Edd and Tord would kill for it. Bacon is alright in my opinion, but I wouldn't die for it. Matt doesn't really care for it as much either, but he usually stares at himself in his hand-held mirror all day at the kitchen table, which means I won't get annoyed by anyone. Especially that commie.

Yep, this will be one hell of a day for me.

I slowly got up from my bed and stretched, before smashing the button on my clock so that damn alarm would shut off.

I walked over to my closet and looked through it, only seeing dirty blue hoodies and a few checkered shirts. I sighed, changing into the cleanest hoodie I could find in my closet. I really need new hoodies. That wasn't the problem I was worried about at the moment, however. Tord and Edd ended up getting in a fight over Tord eating the last piece of bacon. They were acting like complete kids!

I'm not really surprised today. They barely ever fight, but when they do, it's about the stupidest things. After a while of them fighting, the fight ended, I noticed that Tord was in a grumpy mood. Grumpier than usual.

It turns out Tord lost the fight. Edd was soon back to his normal- happy state, but Tord wasn't so happy himself.

Edd laid a plate of bacon in front of me, which I responded with a simple "thank you." Edd smiled and nodded, before returning back to the counter. It was too bad Edd didn't have any bacon for himself, since Tord did eat the last piece. Matt soon got up from the table and carried his mirror back to his room. All was fine and normal, until Tord sat across from me and started giving me the death glare. I noticed and looked over at him, it's not like he would notice that because you can't tell where I'm looking with my voids as eyes.
"What?" I finally spoke up.
It was completely silent for a minute. Edd stopped drinking his cola and looked at us both, waiting for the next person to speak up.
" Jehovah. "
"Communist."
He glared at me for another minute, before speaking again.
"Why are you still looking at me?" Tord grumbled
"Excuse me? " I started. "You were staring at me first, you bastard!"
Edd sighed and took another sip of his cola, watching this all unfold.
" I wasn't looking at you! I was looking at the wall!" Tord yelled

I balled my hand up into a fist, ready to punch that commie if he tried to pick a fight. I quickly stood up and started to walk away from him and the kitchen table.
"Where do you think your going, Jeho?" He asked

"To my room. I'm not dealing with you right now. " I growled. I didn't want him to ruin my day, again.

" That's right, walk away like the coward you are. " Tord huffed

I froze, turning around to face him. I was about to beat the shit out of him, before Edd stopped us like he always does.
"Won't you babies behave?" Edd sighed

That's really strange, since you and Tord were fighting like this earlier, Edd.

"I have some unfinished business here Edd-" I tried to finish, before Edd gave us a disappointed look.
"You know what you guys need, you need to talk about your differences." Edd said.
"No, what I need is to teach this idiot a lesson for starting this." Tord glared at me again

"You think I started this?!-" I growled

"Guys!" Edd yelled.

That was enough to get us both to shut up.
"I'm going to get Matt. We're ALL going to go shopping together. " Edd crossed his arms.

Tord's POV
Edd has always been a parent figure to us, always stopping most of the fights we had, always being there for us when we were hurt, and most of all, cooking some godly bacon.
But I don't know why he always tries to stop fights that aren't his own. Sure, it leaves us with less bruises, but other than that it's useless. Fights are meant to be settled, not stopped.
After Edd had called Matt over, he turned to me and Tom. I felt like I was getting another lecture.
"I'll be driving us to the mall. You two sit in the back of the car and get along. If I hear any arguing out of you two I will kill you both. " Edd rushed to the car with Matt, while me and Tom stayed back.
We were both not happy about 'getting along,' since it was easier said than done.
Before I could say anything to Tom, he rushed to the car as well. I just sighed and followed him. Me and Tom got in the back, and Edd got in the driver seat with Matt in the passenger seat.
The car ride was mostly silent, besides the fact that Edd was playing low tunes on the radio. When we arrived at the mall, we all hurried out of the car and went inside the building. We soon lost Matt in the mall, since he was probably off looking for more mirrors.
Edd looked at us before speaking. "I want both of you to stay together, and I better not catch you two fighting again when we meet up. Got it?"
Me and Tom both nodded.
Edd sighed and left us alone, probably searching for some cola.

"Well, I needed a new hoodie anyways." Tom mumbled, as he started heading in a different direction.

I quickly grabbed his arm and stopped him. "Edd said we were supposed to stick together, and I say we go to the anime store first. " I insisted
"Your gross. I'm heading to the clothing section. " Tom scrunched up his nose in disgust, and started walking in the same direction as previously.
I groaned in frustration,and eventually followed him.
He found the clothing section and picked out a fresh blue hoodie, as if 10 of them wasn't enough.
"Are we done here now?" I grumbled
"Nope, I gotta see if they have any Smirnoff." Tom hummed, before walking in another random direction.
I growled lowly, before following him again.

Toms POV
Honestly, I didn't need anymore Smirnoff. I had tons of it back at the house, but there was no way in hell I am going into that weird store he wants to go into. The anime store is full of weird weebs and creeps like Tord. I had to avoid going into that stupid store at all costs. I purposely took my time picking out the EXACT Smirnoff I wanted. I could tell it was starting to piss off Tord, because he would ask me every now and then if I was done yet, which I would always respond with no. It was funny to see him mad. Usually, when he's mad he tries to pick a fight with me, but since we're in public he can't really do that. Especially since Edd will have his head on a silver platter if he does. I finally picked out some Smirnoff, and might have gotten too much while I was at it, but it was worth it. I wasted a good five minutes just staring at bottles of alcohol.
"We're done here, let's move." Before Tord could walk in a different direction, I stopped him.
"Hold up, I was thinking of buying another shirt and-" Before I could say anything else, I stopped myself.
He looked pissed. MORE pissed then earlier, might I add. If I had finished that sentence he would have probably just killed me already, no matter what Edd might have said.
"What ELSE do you NEED?" He growled
I just looked at him, shocked, for a moment before- laughing? This was very out of character for me. Why was I laughing again? Was it because his anger maybe was funny to me? Me laughing was enough to completely confuse Tord. After a while of me dying of laughter for no apparent reason, he joined in and started laughing as well.

I had no idea what we were laughing about anymore.

Before I could finally finish my sentence- I saw Edd and Matt.
They were just standing there and watching us laugh. They must have thought we were actually 'getting along' for once. A slight smile was shown on Edd's face as he looked at the two of us.
"Uh- is anyone up for lunch?"

Welp, there was chapter 1! I hope it wasn't too boring, I'll start working on chapter 2 right after I publish this story. I fell asleep in the middle of the NIGHT when I was working on the first half of this story- so it was great to wake up to a dead phone. Currently it is 10AM and I have spent all morning working on finishing this chapter, so I hope you all didn't think it was too boring! This is my first time writing a TordTom/ TomTord book, so it's not at all good. I'm trying to get better at writing. Stay tuned for chapter 2!
