Eduardo's P.O.V

"Hey Edo."

I look up to Matt who was just got out of the staff room.

I smirk, "Hey, Loser. What's up?" I ask. Matt then walks closer to me while holding a bunch of napkins.

"Tim's late..." he mumbled.

"yeah, he's probably with Zi. Damn those two are inseparable." I comment with a small chuckle as I took a napkin from Matt and clean the counter before sitting on a stool.

Matt shook his head very slowly with an... Disappointed expression?..

"Hey, is something wrong? You seem pretty quiet as usual Loser." I say, waiting for Matt to reply.

"I have a bad feeling that something will come back from the past. And it's gonna bring bad things... I don't know?" Matt mumbles but I heard it very clearly.

"Something from the past? Matt are your senses going crazy or something?" I ask, I was confused but I did not let it affect me.

Matt really looked so serious. He was just staring on the floor. His expression is unreadable. Been so long since I saw Matt wearing that kind of expression.

It was when Tom had his heart broken by one of our frien--

"Hello, Old friend."

A familiar accented voice spoke. I hated it. Just from hearing it. I already hate it.

I turn to the source of the voice and saw the devil.

My blood begans to boil and my head started to get hot. I got down on my stool as I glared on the man in front of me.

I glance at Matt and saw how he was frozen in his place. Is he the one Matt was talking about about?...

"What are you doing here, Tord?" I asked, he just replied with a sly smirk.

It got me even more mad.

"Get the hell out of here. You're not allowed here." I said to him, fists getting ready to hit him so hard.

He chuckled and smiled at me,

"Well this is a bar. Open for people who are 18 and up. I'm 23 so I don't see why I can't wait be here." he replied before smiling innocently at me.

"THAT'S IT!"

I grabbed his collar and raised my fist to punch him but suddenly someone grabbed me from behind.

"Ed! I BROUGHT HIM HERE SO STOP!!" Tom's voice rang through my ear. I froze as I slowly looked behind to the person who had a grip on my waist.

It is Tom..

"What?!" I yelled,

"I CAN EXPLAIN! JUST LET GO OF HIM!!"

I let go of Tord's collar, damn I really wanted to wipe off that smirk he has.

I turn to Tom, "Fucking EXPLAIN."

Tom grabs my wrist and pulls me into the staff room. He looked around before closing then locking the door.

"Just what is going on?! You loser!??"

"I am just helping him okay?"

My eyes widened, "HELPING HIM?! YOU'RE HELPING THE GUY WHO TORE YOU TO PIECES?! OH I AM TELLING ZION!--"

he suddenly shuts my mouth with his palm.

"Please! Don't tell Zi! Please! Ed! Please!" he pleaded, the look on his face made me feel sympathy.

I tried to calm myself down and breathed in and out slowly, "Okay... I'm listening."

"I didn't want this also. You know how much I hate him--"

"Yeah, You should." I interrupted.

"anyway... It seems that Tord didn't tell his family about our break up. So now he came to me and asked me to pretend to date him for the family dinner that's 2 days from now that his mother planned for their family including... Me." He mumbled as he started fidgeting.

I stared at him, does he notice that his ears are turning red?

I sighed, "Okay. Just make sure you're HELPING HIM ONLY FOR THAT!" I shouted and he shuts my mouth again.

"Yes, yes. Just stop yelling will you!?"

"okay Loser. Let go of me." I chuckled as he took off his hands from me.

His ears are red. And it's distracting. He isn't still in love with him, is he?

No I'm sure he isn't....

But why is his ears turning red...

"have you told Zion about this?"

Then he jolted up, his eyes widened.

"No.."

I Froze, "What?"

"I mean, I did.. But I did not say I'm helping my ex.. I told him that I'm helping a friend." he said, his eyes fixed on the floor.

At this moment I really wanted to slap and and yell at him for that very stupid decision.

But he looks so vulnerable... Like the time where Matt accidentally shot his father.

I sighed and pat his shoulder,

"Tom. Listen. Promise me you are not to do something that will surely break your Fiance's heart. Because it's like you're doing the same thing Tord has done to you." I said, he looks at me and stares.

"I've know Zion before you guys met. I can assure you... He is better for you. Just don't do something that will break his heart." I said, gripping on to Tom's shoulder quite hard...

"I... Promise Eduardo. I won't break the heart of the person who saved me." Tom said as he smiled at me.

I gave him a small smile as I patted his head, "Still, didn't you and Zion did it already?"

"No!"

~~~~~~~~~~~with Tord~~~~~~~~~~~

No One's P.O.V

Matt flinched when he felt Tord's stare at him. He gulped, "Do you want something T-Todd?"

"It's Tord and... Hmm.. No. I just realized that you've gotten more 'beautiful'." Tord commented as he sits on a stool.

With that Matt's nervousness around the Norwegian disappeared, because of Matt's excitement he threw all the napkins he was holding up in the air.

"O-HO YES I KNOW RIGHT?" Matt said proudly to himself as he flips his hair.

It made Tord chuckle, "yep." Tord pointed at the napkins scattered on the floor.

"OH NO!" Matt yelled before kneeling and collecting all the napkins in his hand.

Tord laughed at Matt before he was interrupted by a guy walking pass him.

"Here, Let me help you." the guy said before kneeling down with Matt and helped him collect the napkins.

Tord only stared at the guy, something about him looked familiar... He stared at his face. Finding that the guy was obviously wearing grey contact lenses.

"Here. I'll help you fold them."

"Oh! It's okay now Neon! Thank youuuu!!"

The guy chuckled as he starts folding a napkin.

"it's Zion, Matt." Zion corrected as he chuckled.

"Zion?"

Zion turned to the source of the voice finding Tord with his eyeborw raised in a very displeased way.

He stared at Tord and Tord did the same.

"Oh hello there, What happened to your face? It must've hurt." Zion said as his face turned into worry.

Tord kept a stare, "Oh don't worry. I. Am. Fine. Now." he said, gritting his teeth behind his smile. He hated Zion already.

Matt looked at Tord and Zion, feeling that there's something going on between the two because he could feel a weird fuming aura.

"Busy bee?" Tom's voice rang through their ears and the two turned their heads to Tom who was walking to them with Eduardo trailing behind him.

"Thoma--"

"Boss!" Zion interrupted as he walks to Tom and hugged him.

"I thought I'd see you here!" he said happily, Tom smiled when he met his eyes with Zion's.

"What are you doing here?" Tom asked,

"My company is celebrating for my win again and Mark chose this bar. Which was good because I could possibly see you here!  And I was right!" Zion said like he was a little kid.

Tom blushed and laughed, "You're acting like a Kid, Busy Bee!" Tom commented before letting his nose kiss Zion's.

"AHEM."

Tom and Zion turns to Tord.

He wore a very unsatisfied look.

"Do you mind not flirting in front of me?"
