Tom POV

"Heh... nice to see you.... old... friends..... I'm sorry," I hear Tord say as he blacked out.

Does he go through these all the time!?

I see Edd pick him up and start to walk in the direction of our apartments.

"Wait, you're actually gonna help him!? After all he has done to us?

"Tom, can't you see that he has been going through so much, probably ever since the incident!? He needs us right now," Edd says.

"He deserves it," I mumble underneath my breath.

"What was that?"

"I said, he deserves it! First, he comes waltzing in with all that old friend crap. He didn't even consider me as a friend! He pushed me away and tried to get me to leave. Then, he destroys the house, kills Jon in an attempt to kill ME, and then goes off to try and take over the world. Plus, he said that he wouldn't need friends, when he's that stupid giant robot. All he wanted to be was powerful Edd, not friends," I fumed.

Edd flinched when I had said that to him, but then he had this mad look on this face.

"If this had happened to you, would you appreciate that we leave you behind?"

"I uh-"

"You wouldn't right. Tom, he's out friend. You should care more about how he feels right now. What he did in the past doesn't matter, he did say sorry after all. Also, he's in a lot of pain right now,

What he had said to me really surprised me. It made me feel that I was the bad guy. I felt tears go up in my 'eyes.' I think Edd noticed cause he looked at me sympathetically.

"I'm going to go get a drink. I'll meet you back at home," I mutter.

"Tom, don't go."

"No Edd, go and help Tord get better. I'll be fine. I'll just make Tord feel worse by coming."

Edd was about to say something, but I ran off to the bar before he can say it.

Edd POV

I sighed. "Do you think I was too hard on him?"

"Edd, you basically said that any bad thing that he had done in the past doesn't matter. That kinda... hurt. Last time Todd was here, he punched me and hurt my beautiful face," Matt explained.

"It's Tord, Matt," I say, correcting his mistake.

"Matt!? And that's what I said," Matt proclaimed .

"Uh huh," I say, rolling my eyes.

"So, what are you gonna do about Tim?" Matt asked, slightly concerned.

"It's Tom and I'll apologize to him later. Right now, we gotta take Tord  home and make sure he is ok," I sigh.

"Ok let's go- wait hold on a minute, what about my mirrors!"

"Matt, is that really important right now? Plus, you have so many mirrors, I bet you can make a museum for them," I say, rolling my eyes.

"Well, of course I have one."

"Wait, what!?"

- Cut to Matt's Mirror Museum -

"Ugh, who would paint such hideous portraits?" One woman asks.

"That's a mirror," another women says.

"WhY MuSt yOU mOcK mE!?" the women from before yells, running off crying.

"Ack!" She slips on a puddle on the floor(Lol you fell) and says,

"I'm suing."

Then a huge mirror falls on top of her.

- Back to Edd and Matt -

"I'm... not even going to ask how," I sigh. "Let's just go back home and help Tord."

"Fiiiiiinnnnneee," Matt grumbled.

Tom POV

I slam into the bar and everyone put their attention to me from the sudden sound. I walk up to a table and sit there with my head on the table.

"Ugh..." I groan.

"Sir, would you like something to drink?"

I look up and notice that it was the waiter.

"Yeah. Give me your finest Smirnoff," I respond.

"Coming right up."

Edd POV

I took out the keys to my apartment and unlocked the door, opening it. Me and Matt walk inside and I rest Tord on the couch.

"So what should we do about Tord, Edd," Matt asked.

"We should clean the blood and oil from around his mouth and leave him to rest," I explain. "Hopefully he'll wake up later."

"Ok," Matt said.

He sat down on the floor in front of the couch, looking at himself in his mirror.

I guess I'm doing all the work.

I went to the bathroom and wet a rag that I would use for Tord. I walked back into the living room and carefully wiped off the blood and oil around his mouth. I walk back into the bathroom and wash it off, resting it on the counter.

I may need this later.

I walk into the living room and sit down next to Matt. I turn on the TV and put on "The Children."

The kid on TV said, "This ain't apple juice!" Followed by laughter.

"Hey Edd, when do you think Tom will be back?" Matt asked, looking up from his mirror.

"I'm sure he'll be back soon. Don't worry," I respond.

- a few hours later -

Where is he!? Maybe I should go out for him...

I rest Ringo on the couch beside Tord and get up. Turning off the TV, I tell Matt,

"I'm heading out to go find Tom, can you keep an eye on Tord?"

"Yeah sure," Matt says, looking up with a goofy grin.

I felt my face heat up a bit.

Why does this narcissistic, ginger need to be so darn adorable!?

O-ok, I'll be back soon. Call me when he wakes up," I stutter, heading out the door.

Now to find that alcoholic.

I headed to the bar and opened the door to see a very sad sight. Tom was hugging the waiter, crying, while the waiter looked very annoyed at this. I could also tell that the other people that were there looked uncomfortable. I went up to Tom to try to calm him down, but the waiter stopped me before I got to him.

"Is he with you?" she asked, slightly irritated.

"Umm, yes. I'm so sorry about thi-," I started to say.

"Yeah, yeah. Just please get him out of here. He's bothering the customers with all his crying," she growled, cutting me off and shoving him at me.

I caught him and I helped him walk out the bar because he got super drunk. Once we got outside, he muttered the words,

"I'm sorry..."

I could tell that his voice was very raspy.

How much did he cry!?

I looked at him and noticed that his "eyes" were puffy and tears were still coming down his face. I wiped them away, saying,

"It's fine Tom. I shouldn't have said that to you anyways. I should be the one sorry."

At that moment, my phone started ringing. I pulled it out and looked at who was calling. It was Matt. I picked it up.

"Hey Matt, what is i-"

"Edd, you need to come home now!"

What's with people and cutting me off today!?

"Why? What's wrong, Matt? Is it Tord!?" I ask, worriedly.

"Yes, Tord's awake. Just please hurry home now and bring Tim too!"

"It's Tom-"

He hung up. That's when I felt Tom tug on my hoodie's sleeve. I looked at him in confusion.

"Is Tord ok?" He asked, worry written all over is face.

I couldn't believe what I was seeing or hearing. Tom was actually worried about Tord's well-being.

"I.... don't know. We should hurry home, Matt sounds super concerned and I don't think It's about his mirrors," I respond. 

"Matt concerned about something other than his mirrors!? Ok, we need to get home, now," Tom said, firmly.

He grabbed my hand and ran in the direction of our apartments, pulling me along with him.

"Woah!" I said, stumbling a little.

Wait... isn't he drunk!? How is this possible? (Well Edd, logic means nothing in your world😂)

We made it to our building and Tom pushed the doors open. He rushed inside and went on the elevator, pressing the button for the 2nd floor.

"So Tom, I never kne-"

"Hush child, Tordles are to be saved," Tom says, cutting me off.

Since when was he the mother figure?

The elevator stopped and the doors opened. Tom once again grabbed my arm and pulled me along with him, while we made our way to my apartment. Tom let go of my arm once we were in front of it. I pulled out my keys and opened the door. I could now tell why Matt was freaking out over the phone.

He was gripping his hair, crying and repeating the words, "I'm sorry...," over and over again. Matt tried to calm him down by hugging him, but Tord pushed him away and screamed,

"DON'T TOUCH ME!"

Tom ran up to Tord and hugged him tightly. Tord struggled to get him off, but soon he calmed down. I realized why. Tom was crying into Tord shoulder.

Tord POV

"I'm s-so sorry Tord. Please don't leave me again..." Tom stammered.

"What are you sorry for? I should be the one sorry. I caused you guys so much pain. You were right to hate me-" I started to say.

"NO! Tord, don't say that about yourself. We may have had our differences in the past, but I still care about you and you obviously care about me and the others. I just wanna say that you're a great friend, Tord . The best one really. Tord, I forgive you for all that has happened ," Tom said.

I couldn't believe what Tom was telling me right at this moment. Me? A great friend? For the first time, since that awful day, I felt... happy. I hugged him back, saying,

"Thank you. Thank you so much, Tom. You have no idea how much I missed you and the others."

We stayed like that for a while until I heard Tom's soft breaths.

I guess he fell asleep. I am kinda sleepy as well.

I kissed him on the head and smiled.

"Goodnight Tom."

I rested my head on his shoulder and drifted off into a sweet slumber.

Edd POV

Once we were both sure Tom and Tord were both asleep, Matt and I both said,

"Aww."

I pulled out my phone and snapped a picture.

Now I have something to tease Tom about in the morning. ÒwÓ

"Edd, are you gonna leave them to sleep on your couch?" Matt asked, still staring at the two with wonder.

"Yeah, it's cute. Plus, this is the first time I've seen them get along like this," I responded.

"Oh ok then, night Edd."

"Night Matt."

3rd Person POV

Matt headed over to his apartment and got ready for bed. Probably to wake up the next morning to gaze at himself in the mirror.

Edd got ready for bed and was filled with joy to know that his group of friends were back together.

A/N:

Why couldn't you be a bit more nicer to Tom while he was crying? Ò^Ó

My Anxiety: What, you want me to be like this:

"Oh, hey sir. Can you please get this sad, depressed soul out of my bar before I kick him out myself? Thank you!"

NO! Ugh, I should've put Morality as the waiter instead of you....

Yes, please do that next time (¬_¬)
