Tord sighed and lazily looked at the notes on the board, looking back at the notes he was currently writing on his own notebook. Tom watched him from afar with a small smile on his face, blushing a bit. Edd noticed and grinned, poking Tom's cheek, "You know, if you like him, you can always tell him~" he cooed.

Tom blushed more and looked at Edd, "Shut up Edd- we hardly talk to each other-" he huffed. Edd hummed "Well, he is walking with us later," Edd mentioned, grinning more. Tom huffed "Shut up, he's probably not gay," Edd hummed softly and poked his cheek again "He's small, has dates boys, likes talking to girls but he doesn't like dating them, you still think he's not gay?"

Tom huffed and rolled his eyes "He probably doesn't like me," Edd hummed and smiled "Hint, Hint, probably" he laughed a bit and stood up when the bell rang.

Tord got up and grabbed his things, walking to his locker with a small hum, Matt caught up with Tord and started talking with him. Tom and Edd caught up with them, Edd leaving Tom with Tord and going to talk with Matt.

Tord kept his headphones on, humming a tune of a song, Tom smiled softly and glanced at him every now and then. Matt looked at Tom "Hey Tom, make sure you hold his hand so he doesn't wander off while listening to music-"

Tom blushed a bit but nodded "Right," Tom looked at Tord and poked his shoulder, Tord looked up at him and perked up a brow, placing one part of his headphones to the side of his ear a bit to listen to Tom. "Do you maybe wanna hold hands?-" Tom grinned a bit, blushing a bit more "S-So uh- you don't wander off as Matt said-" Tom added after he cleared his throat.

Tord blushed a bit and nodded "Sure" he hummed and took put his headphones back on, holding Tom's hand gently after. Tom blushed madly and smiled, internally melting and screaming at Tord's touch, gently caressing Tord's hand as he held it, humming softly.

Tord hummed and yawned, soon putting his phone and headphones away in his bag, now leaning on Tom's shoulder. Tom blushed more and looked at Tord, leaning his head on top of Tord's head as well, Tord let out a quiet purr, gently nuzzling onto Tom's shoulder.

"Alright lovebirds, it's time to let go of each other and head home-" Matt interrupted them before pausing "Let's have a sleepover at my house this weekend!" He smiled. Edd hummed and nodded "Yeah! Let's meet at Matt's house tomorrow!"

Tord hummed and nodded "Sure" he let go of Tom's hand "This is my stop, bye guys" he smiled softly and went in the house, yawning softly.

Edd, Tom, and Matt were now walking, the other two teasing Tom about his cuddle time with Tord. Tom huffed and rolled his eyes "Shut up, you two clearly like each other-"

Matt laughed a bit "We do love each other Tom, we're dating if that's not clear yet-" Tom's eyes widened hearing this "Wait- really?!- Edd you didn't tell me anything about this!" He huffed. Edd just giggled and stuck his tongue out his tongue at Tom.

And so, he boys went to their houses, bidding goodbye to each other before entering their residences.

Morning came, Tom was already waiting for the bus with Edd, Matt just came to them and Tord, he was no where to be seen? He's usually early.

Tom walked in the bus with Edd and Matt, hoping to see the horned boy by the sea of very tired and frowning students, alas, he didn't see the boy he wanted to see. Where is he?

The bus arrived at the school, the students' frowns replaced with a smile as they met up with friends and walked in the building with them. Tom, Edd and Matt were walking to their lockers, talking amongst themselves. Tom just wondering where the boy was.

Everyone was seated in their classrooms, Tom glanced at Tord's seat, empty. The teacher walked in and cleared his throat, starting the attendance, taps of frantic shoes could be heard from the hallway before the door opened, there stood a panting, hair messy, a bit sweaty Tord.

Tom sighed in relief as he looked at Tord, another question stuck on his mind; Why was he late?

Tord spoke up "G-Good morning S-Sir" he grabbed a towel from his pocket and wiped his sweat away. The teacher nodded and checked on Tord's name "Any reason why you're late?" He hummed, closing the attendance. Tord sat down on his chair and sighed "I had to take care of something sir, I'm sorry for being late" he mumbled.

The teacher nodded "That's alright Tord,now let's start the lesson." He announced and grabbed a book "Okay, everyone, page 126 to 129 on your books, read it and answer page 130 to 132.

The class did their tasks, Tom finishing quickly to just watch Tord, still wondering why he was late. Tord did his work, yawning softly, he was still tired from the things he did last night. Tom looked at Tord's hands, seeing bandages around them, he perked up a brow and frowned.

The teacher cleared his throat again, humming as he looked at his phone "Alright, I'll be dismissing you all early, just make sure to pass your work by morning tomorrow" he smiled "Something happened at home so I'll leave the rest of the day to all of you, don't be noisy" he grabbed his bag and left the classroom.

The students bid their teacher goodbye, others now standing up to talk to their friends while the others just got up and left. Tord stayed on his seat, as well as Tom, he was still watching Tord.

Tord yawned again and closed his book, laying his head down on it, he sighed and closed his eyes, just wanting to get some sleep. Tom smiled softly and watched him, laying his head down on top of his books as well, humming softly.

A few hours went by, Tord woke up soon, getting up, he stretched and sighed "Mhh.." A classmate poked Tord's cheek and smiled "How was sleep nerd?" She grinned. Tord looked up at her "You mean the only amount of sleep I get? It was good, I guess" he yawned.

She snickered "How come you always have high grades when you sleep like this in school?" She huffed, Tord rolled his eyes "I study all night, that's why" he mumbled quietly. Tom went over to them and poked the girl's shoulder "And what seems to be the problem here?" He perked up a brow.

The girl looked at him and smiled sheepishly "U-Uh- h-hi!" She twiddled with her hair a bit "I just caught him slacking off on the schoolwork!-" she smiled and looked up at Tom. Tord looked at them and stayed quiet, grabbing his stuff, he left the classroom and went to the roof.

Tom patted her head "Yeah, Hi, next time just don't snoop around his work, you don't know what he deals with at night" She smiled and blushed, nodding "Okay! D-Do you wanna hang out together later? Or n-now?-" she hummed. Tom shook his head "Sorry Lila, I'm not interested" he went to the door and left the classroom, going to search for Tord.

Tord sighed and grabbed bandages from his bag, taking off his old ones and putting them in a plastic bag before putting on new ones, he sighed and rubbed his eyes, rolling his sleeves down, hoping no one saw him. Tord saw that his make-up on his cheek was smudged a bit, better fix that. He got up and grabbed his bag, leaving the roof, he went to the bathroom.

Tom saw Tord running, he perked up a brow and followed him quietly, going in the bathroom after Tord, who was carrying his bag on his shoulder and was splashing his face with water, quickly grabbing a towel and wiping his face with it. Too quick. Tom couldn't see what was on Tord's face. Tord went in a bathroom stall, locking the door. He grabbed a mirror and started to put on make-up.

Tom perked up a brow and went in the stall next to Tord's, hoping to hear something from the quiet boy. Tord sighed and continued to apply the make-up as he continued to look at the hand mirror. "God I'm such a fuck up.." he muttered to no one in particular, blending the make-up he applied. "..Mother's right..I'm just good for nothing.." he whispered to himself quietly, now closing his make-up kit, the bruises on his face now hidden, as well as the ones on his arms were hidden now as well. Tom's eyes widened hearing this, although it was muffled, he was sure about the things he heard.

Tord got out of the stall after flushing, looking in the mirror again to make sure there's no smudges or anything out of place, he looked down at his arms and checked the gauze, making sure it was hidden correctly. Tom watched him, peeking through the crack of the stall he was in, eyes going white when he saw the gauze.

Tord sighed and fixed his hair, checking his phone, "I just gotta find Edd, Matt and Tom" he mumbled quietly, walking out of the bathroom with a small smile. Tom got up and flushed before leaving as well, following Tord, who was already with Edd and Matt, Tom smiled and went over to them as well, not wanting to seem suspicious.

"Hey Tom!" Matt grinned, humming softly, Tom smiled and waved "Hey, how was class?" Matt huffed "Well, I was at Math, Miss Mandelea wouldn't let us go, just because someone couldn't answer a question!-" Matt crossed his arms "And that's just horrid." He pouted. Edd looked at him and laughed a bit, kissing his cheek to calm him down "I had a blast at science today, we had an activity!-" he grinned.

Tord just stayed silent, he doesn't usually talk that much, unless asked directly, he just always thought his voice was really off, even with his accent. Tom glanced at Tord then back at Edd and Matt, "Well, Tord and I technically didn't have a class, we just read and answered things then Mr Damian had to go somewhere"

Matt whined "Luuuucccckkkkyyyyy" he huffed and hugged Edd from behind, whining quietly. Tom chuckled and patted Matt's head "Shut up you big baby, plus, it was boring doing nothing"

Tord watched them, lips staying shut, that is, until Edd asked "Anyways Tord, is that foundation on your face??-" Matt cut him off "Oh my god Tord you wear makeup?!-" he smiled.

Tord flinched and looked at Edd "I'm not wearing anything" he muttered and grabbed his phone, eyebrows furrowed a bit "I'll..I'll be back.." He mumbled and left the three.

Edd looked at Matt "You scared him," Tom looked at them "I'm gonna follow him" he mentioned. Matt whined "I'm sorryyyy" he hugged Edd and nuzzled onto his neck.

Tom followed the direction Tord went to, soon seeing Tord on the benches, asleep. Tom sighed in relief and went over to him, sitting beside him, he kissed his forehead gently and sighed "What are you hiding from us..?" He whispered, glancing at Tord's arms, his arms, covered in gauze as he guessed, what if there's more? What if Tord's in pain all the time but he doesn't let anyone know? What if-

"Tom?" Tord yawned and sat up, rubbing his eyes gently, looking at Tom, who smiled "Hey, what are you doing here?-" he chuckled, patting Tord's head gently "I think I passed out-" Tord laughed a bit, feeling pain on his stomach when he did that. He shouldn't have done that. "Why's that?" Tom asked. "Not enough sleep from studying, yada yada" Tord hummed, pressing on his stomach a bit.

Tom noticed this and picked Tord up "We're talking about this in my house." He whispered to Tord, holding him close. Tord flinched and whined, nodding "oka- ow!-" Tord flinched again, Tom was holding him by his rear end, which hurt, a lot, Tord wrapped his arms around Tom's neck and his legs around Tom's waist, wincing quietly at the pain.

Tom held him gently "Shh, don't worry, I'm sorry if I hurt you, I'll help with the wounds, okay?" He mumbled and started to walk out of the school, walking to his house. Tord nodded and placed his chin on Tom's shoulder, tears of pain pricking on his eyes.

Tom noticed and kissed the bitter tears away, one hand moving up to rub Tord's back, wanting to calm the boy down, Tord closed his eyes and sighed "W-Why are you doing this..?" He mumbled, Tom sighed and kissed his forehead "I like you Tord, I never had the guts to say anything about it to you, I wanna help you..I wanna know what happened.."

Tord sighed "My..Mother," he mumbled
