~3rd person POV~

Tord walked through the halls of the place he stayed for so long before coming back to his friends. His back straightened as his hands tucked behind his back, Tom slowly following behind.

Tom's bottom lip quivered slightly, his eyes adverting left and right, trying his best not to make eye contact with the hundreds of soldiers passing by them. Tord noticed this and stuck out his elbow for the blue brit to grab. Tom saw this but slowly looked away. He wanted the comfort but he just couldn't take a hold on Tord's arm. Tom didn't know why he couldn't, but it just didn't feel right. Tord sighed lowly before slowly letting his arm go limp by his side.

~time skip~ 

"Wait what." Tom squinted his eyes at Ben, his eyes narrowing. 

"We want you to test this out." Ben explained, even slower than before.
"What no! Edd said that I should do anything that I didn't want to do, and I don't want to do that!" Tom yelled at the taller male, trying his best to get his point out.

"Tom calm down." Tord said, placing a hand onto the blue clad shoulder. Tom smacked his hand away. "Tord, how do I know I can trust you?! For all I know that thing could kill me!" Tom screamed at Tord. The Carmel haired boy opened his mouth to speak before getting cut off. "You wouldn't even tell me what that thing is for!"

Tord stayed silent, his eye brows furrowed. Tom protested more and more yelling about how he didn't want to die. "Jesus- Tom, it's just to help you learn faster you idiot!" Tord lied, his voice growing louder. Tom suddenly stopped, his mind racing with thoughts. Tord and Ben watched as Tom stammered a bit, waiting for Tom to find the right words to form what he was gonna say next.

"How do I know I can believe you?" Tom finally muttered out, doubt lingering in his voice. Tord grumbled a bit.

The norski didn't know what to say. Sure, Tom did trust him, but that was before Tord told him about their past. Tom didn't want to Tord after that. Tord honestly didn't expect Tom to be homophobic, so it caught him by surprise. 

"Look Thomas, I care about you and please believe me when I say this'll help not only you but me." Tord reassured. Tom didn't know what to think. This was so sudden. Why would Tord just bring this up without context and just randomly ask Tom to put a weird device on his head? Tom didn't know, and he's scared. But Tord never hurt him. 

"Ugh, okay..." Tom grumbled through his teeth. Tord sighed in relief and motioned to a chair. Tom looked over at it and sat down slowly, nervousness consuming his body. Ben trudged over to the blue brit. "This won't hurt will it?" Tom asked cautiously. Ben hummed lowly as he strapped it around the brit's head. "Nah, you'll be fine." Ben said before backing up next to Tord. Tom shot a worried look at Tord as Tord nodded for comfort. Tord kept trying to convince himself that this wasn't his Tom. His Tom wouldn't be like this. 

"It'll hurt quite a lot." Ben smiled, before pressing a button on a small remote in his hands. 

Tord's eyes widened as a small gasp escaped from his lips. 

Tom felt an electric shock run through his veins and pain stung his whole body. Tom didn't have time to scream from the immense pain going through his body. For a moment, Tom couldn't feel anything but pain. 

After 15 seconds of horrifying pain, Tom felt his body loosen and his head go blank. Tom's body weakened and soon collapsed onto the cold tiled floor. 

Tord screamed out Tom's name loudly and rushed over to the smaller male, he rested Tom's head into his knees. "Ben! You said this would work!" Tord screamed at Ben, tears were now pricking at his eyes. "Jesus red leader. I didn't know you were this much of a crybaby." Ben rolled his eyes before making his way over to his working desk and setting down the remote. "It's not like I killed him. He's fine." Ben explained, marching over to Tord's side. Tord was trying to rip off the device on his lover's head. Tord glared at his scientist, ready to beat the living daylights out of him. 

"YOU-"

"T-Tord?"

Tord stopped, his eyes widened, he looked down at Tom. Ben smiled at himself and agreed with himself to just watch the scene unfold. 

Tom weakly rubbed his eyes as he looked up at the norski. "T-Tom... are you okay?" Tord whispered, desperately needing to know if it worked. "Yeah I'm okay Commie... what happened?" Tom smiled slowly, rubbing his head and slowly sitting up. Tord felt tears start spilling down his hot cheeks. Tom grinned at Tord before seeing the tears running down tom's face. "Yo, Commie you Okay?" Tom asked. "What happened Tordy?" Tom stared at Tord in concern as he slowly grasped Tord's face with his soft hands, wiping away Tord's tears with his thumb. Tord felt a big grin form onto his face, happiness filling his heart.

Tom's Back. He's finally Back.

Tord collapsed into Toms's arms and sobbed loudly, soaking Tom's hoodie. Tord wrapped his arm's around Tom desperately, never wanting to let go. Tom was confused and worried but sat there awkwardly before slowly rubbing circles onto Tord's back. "I thought you had left me thomas..." Tord sobbed in happiness.

"I don't know what happened but, I'll be here for you. Okay?" Tom hushed. Tord smiled into the hug and nodded. 

"I love you Jehova." Tord smiled through tears

"Love ya too commie."
