Tord kept his eyes on Edd...
they had been to the Arcade alot now...

it was lovely... Edd was high on sugar and Tord was enjoying Edd's energy.

Tom was glaring... watching his best friend run around with Tord... Tom's anger at the Norwegian man rose with each passing moment.

Then Edd brought Tord to the arcade's dance floor...
you see... the arcade had a special game of Dance Till You Die that had a dance floor for multiple people...

however... they always had it on freestyle so people could dance in their own way.

So they did...
Edd was playfully trying to get Tord to dance... and of course Tord refused at first...

he hated the stupid song that was playing at that moment...
what the hell was this trash? He looked at the song on the screen above...
he grimaced... it was called Look What They Made Me Do... By TayTay Swoft.

He rolled his eyes and plugged in a much better song.

He looked back at Edd as he played the song and smiled at him...
Edd had followed him...
he then took Edd by the hand and led him to the dance floor...

everyone gave them room and allowed them to dance...
Tord danced with him as if they were in a ball, the passionate music played in the background...

Edd stared into Tord's eyes as they danced elegantly...
Tord was staring back, in love and full of a warmth inside his heart and body.

He kept Edd close... Tord wished he could whisk Edd away to his home...
take Edd for himself...
he was madly in love with a man he'd called friend...

of course...
Tom was seeing this... and the rage inside him was burning through his veins like acid and making his chest puff and feel like fire...

he was angry... he was absolutely, tremendously pissed...

but... then he noticed Edd... how much fun the guy was having...
how much fun his best friend was having...
and his expression softened...

he sighed and left them be... of course... he wasn't forgiving Tord for the situation...
but he was going to wait until Edd wasn't within earshot to punish Tord...

And as he walked away... he smiled... happy for Edd...
but then he grinned, ready to get Tord out of his life and home and away from his friends.

Tord gracefully spinned Edd and then dipped him, bringing him close and then their faces stared into one another...

Tord's lips got close to Edd's... Edd's lips were open, welcoming

Tord leaned in but hesitated and bit his lips back then brought Edd back up and held him in his arms as the song finished and everyone cheered happily.

Tord looked at Edd's smiling face...
it was too soon for a kiss...
but damn did he want it badly.

That sweet anesthetic just won't go away and as he breathes it in it gets stuck in his brain.
the world may be spinnin and there's only one thing to blame it's the wonderful aroma of Edd's never fail sweet anesthetic on the brain.
