Tord felt like he was opened up and exposed to Edd.

Like he was an animal and Edd was the science student, slicing him open and poking his organs to see how they worked.

His heart felt like it was about to burst.

"A...Ah... mm... Well...." Tord found his tongue in a knot.
His legs trembled and his heart ached.

Edd was waiting for the answer and Tord started to feel sick.
What would Edd say!?
What would he do!?
What if he doesn't accept him!?
what if he does but says they should just be friends!?

Tord couldn't take it, turning to Edd he saw Edd's expression.

Edd was beautiful, messy brown hair, Shorts and a T-shirt, shimmering green eyes and that sweet scent of his.

Tord's heart grew warm, Tord swore he was having a heart attack but took a deep breath and said in a breaking voice.
"Y.... Yes..."

Edd's expression was so innocent and yet so horrifying.
His eyes widened, his hand on his mouth while the other rubbing his arm.

Tord felt his entire being grow cold, he felt his heart suffocate itself in an icey prison.

"Tord...."

Tord kept looking down, shaking fearfully. "Y....Yes...?"

Edd's sigh was enough to crush Tord's soul.

"Tord... I think...
I think we should talk about this..."

It was Tord's eyes that widened this time.
"W...What?"

"Tord... come sit at the table with me... please... I just want to understand before I make a decision."

Edd went over to the table nearby and sat down, gesturing for Tord to sit in the chair facing Edd.

Tord went over and sat down, awaiting Edd's response.

"Tord...

How long have you felt this?" Edd asked softly.

"Since.... we last met... but I didn't understand it at the time..." Tord said softly.

"So... what do you plan to do if I become your boyfriend?" Edd asks, seeming serious.

"Take you on a date?... maybe watch movies together and hang out? Just... love you I guess?" Tord said, not really sure how else to respond.

Edd seemed to be thinking and then finally dropped the bomb.
"Tord..."

"Y...Yes Edd?" Tord asked nervously.

"Can you see us getting married?
and how long do you think we would last?" Edd's eyes were narrowed, his expression intensified.

Tord took a moment now...
thinking about his future with Edd.

"Well..." Tord began, no longer looking at Edd but rather at the floor.

"I'd marry you... with your okay of course...

and then... I'd talk with you about a time when it's warmer.
If it rains on us then I'll cover you and we'll run inside then continue the ceremony there.

Of course I'd have all of our family and friends there...
and we'd have a lovely cake.

I'd watch you walk up the isle, and feel proud of you.
my greatest achievement. my greatest treasure...."
Tord thought about this, a small smile on his face.
"I would say my vows of which I would have said over and over again, in a place you wouldn't be able to hear me so I could surprise you.

I'd kiss you tenderly...

then I'd carry you down he isle and I'd bring you to the cake.
We'd cut it together and feed eachother some.
then we'd allow the rest of the party goers to eat.

after that... we'd dance...
We'd laugh and sing and just have fun together...."

Edd was listening intently.

"I'd get us a honeymoon planned, of course I'd talk to you about it first before making a decision.

then we'd go off and enjoy our time together.
If we make love then we do so with both sides in agreement... I wouldn't touch you without permission.

and as for the time after that...

I'd work until I could find a way to add to this apartment...
since I know you love your friends...
and then we could adopt children if you'd like...

we could be a happy family and hang out with Tom and Matt...

we would have our little fights for sure but they wouldn't ever mean anything in the end because we would be in love.
or at least...
we could be...."

Tord hesitantly put his hand on Edd's, being gentle as Edd stared into Tord's eyes.

"If you'll let us..."

Edd just stared back, then smiled a bit tearfully, he was touched.

"Yes Tord..." Edd took Tord's hands into his own, holding them. "I'd love that very much."

Sour at first
Turned Sweeter than sugar
A citrus shock turned in~to sweet~
I'd love to taste your lips once more to make the toxic taste turn
in~to a treat~
I can't say I regret it~
And I can't say I wasn't scared~
But at the beginning
my incision stung and then~
I puckered
The sting was on my lungs~
Sour Key Retractor
opening me up~
You were the handler and I was your patient~
as nervous as I was
you still got in~
And as I felt my heart get decommissioned I was sparked right back to life.
staring right into your eyes~

Hyped sugar now~
from Sour to sweet~
You are my everything and all that I need~
You are the sugar that excites me and the cinnamon to my heart~
I couldn't imagine life without your sweetness to start me off~!
If I had only one wish and one wish alone I would wish that you and I could be forever in love~
