tom was just sitting on the couch with his earbuds in listening to music
I'm laying on his lap and he strokes my head like he does to a cat
Hmm? he hummed, still not looking at you. Then, finally glancing over, he frowned. You looked... cute. But that just pissed him off more. What the hell was wrong with you lately? Was it his fault you were so close to Tord all the time now?
You know what? Get lost. I'm done with this shit. Go be Tord's little plaything, I don't care anymore. *
Mm, nah...I looked up at him with anxious, childlike eyes don't leave me...
Don't you dare start that shit with me! Fine, whatever, stay then. But I swear to god if you keep acting like this, like you're more into Tord than you are with me or something..." he paused for a moment, glancing away again before continuing in a low growl "...I will end it right now. You understand?
So what do you want from me? Huh?"
I-I have to explain...!
Explain what? That you suddenly decided you liked Tord more than me for some reason? Fuck that, I don't need your excuses. Either tell me what the fuck is going on or leave and go be with him, because this shit is getting old real fast." he snapped, glaring at her
...nevermind. Holding back tears, I went back to my room, locked the door, and shut myself in
What the fuck was that supposed to mean? Wait, where did you go?! he started panicking, following after you into your room. He paused at the doorway when he saw you curled up on the bed, sobbing quietly to yourself. His heart skipped a beat as anger and worry warred inside of him. After a moment's hesitation, he walked over to sit down beside you on the bed, moving slowly like he was approaching a wild animal
Babe... what's wrong? Why are you crying? *
I don't wanna talk with you now...burying my face into a pillow
His voice softened as he reached out to touch your shoulder. You flinched away, and he drew his hand back immediately, cursing under his breath. "Look, I'm sorry if I sounded like an asshole. But you know I don't like how things have been going lately... with us and Tord. It's just..." He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down before continuing. "I need you to talk to me, okay? Tell me what's really on your mind."
Please, baby.
I-I was... out shopping for a present for you. It's been almost a month since we started this relationship, so I wanted... to commemorate that... But I didn't know what you liked, so I was going out with Tord more and more, a-and he was going with me to pick out a present for you. But you got angrier and angrier, and I got scared, a-and...I was at a loss for words and slumped over
His expression softened even further as you explained what had been going on. He reached up to gently wipe away the tears streaming down your face. "I'm sorry I made you feel that way, baby," he murmured. "I just... I didn't know how close you were getting with him."
He paused for a moment before asking, "Can I see what you got for me?"
When you nodded, he carefully took your gift from where it was hidden under your pillow and unwrapped it.
Inside the box was a bouquet of bright blue flowers and a small letter
He read the letter first, a soft smile spreading across his face as he realized what it said. Then, he picked up one of the flowers and brought it to his nose, inhaling deeply.
"I like it," he whispered, looking up at you with warm eyes. "Thank you, babe. You didn't have to do all that, but it means a lot to me." He set the flower back down in its place among the others, then leaned forward to press a gentle kiss against your forehead.
Let's just forget about today, okay?
nod slowly and spread my arms for cuddle of comfort
Without a word, he wrapped his arms around you, pulling you close in a tight hug. You returned the embrace, clutching at his shirt as you buried your face into his chest. The tension between you seemed to dissipate with each passing moment, leaving only the warmth and security of being together.
As you held each other, tom gently stroked your hair, murmuring reassurances and apologies in your ear until you finally felt yourself starting to calm down.
