#look he deals with matt like. almost 24/7 edd is just used to this.

[deliveringspookzandtreatz]

Hey Edd, Matt had bought 30 magic mirrors without your permission!

Wait a second, he's checking matts room just to mak-.. oh yeah, there's a reason he doesn't check the room.

"... Oh, right.."

...Are you going to reason to the anon?

"I'm not even surprised at this point, Anon."

an eddsworld request pls? tom and tord fighting over the same S/O? sorry if this is vague.

"You know [y/n]'s obsessed with Sunshine and Lollipops, right? They threatened to play it in your sleep-"

"Wow, can't think of a more believable lie than that? Hah. I doubt they'd want to be stuck with someone who lies 24/7 anyway."

"You're calling me a liar?! Last time I checked, I didn't destroy our home and betray my friends!!"

"Well at least I don't look like the result of a bowling ball's and pineapple's one-night stand!"

"WHAT did you say about my parents?!!!"

"You heard me, Jehovah!!!"

"Who's idea was it to invite Tord back here?" Edd sighed as he looked to you and Matt, clearly annoyed at the antics of his roommates.

Ever since Tord returned home, fights between him and Tom have been nonstop. Almost every little inconvenience led to something that nearly resulted in the destruction of the room--or entire house, even.

But as of late, the source of the fighting was you.

No, you didn't purposefully instigate it. You could literally just sigh and the two would argue over who made you upset...even if neither of them did.

Honestly, you didn't know why they were acting this way, especially around you and nobody else. They seemingly only cared about their guitars and robots, so you were clueless as to how you suddenly became a big deal in their lives.

It was like..they were competing for your attention.

While some of the fights have been entertaining, this one in particular was starting to get on your nerves. All you did was sit down on the inflatable lounge chair Tord created, and Tom got annoyed for some reason, thus leading to them arguing in front of the TV.

Matt checked his reflection to distract himself, and Edd awkwardly scratched Ringo's ears, the cat mirroring her owner's attitude.

It was clear that the situation was only gonna escalate from here, so you finally decided to intervene and find out what the hell is going on. "Okay, time out for everyone!" You got up, clapping your hands together.

The noise shut Tom and Tord up quickly as they glanced at you.

"Who wants to take a walk with me?"

"I do!!"

"Me!!"

Both men raised their hands at the exact same time, before glaring at each other. From the way Tom's eyes whitened, you could tell he was three seconds away from strangling Tord.

Fortunately, you had a Plan B.

"If you don't stop, I'll throw out all the beer and cigars."

This time they remained completely silent, staring at you with mortified expressions. Now that they'll finally listen to you, you smiled and made them follow you outside.

Edd and Matt were astonished. You managed to calm them down? Without anything being destroyed?? You were definitely some miracle worker.

As soon as you, Tom, and Tord were on the front lawn, you shut the door and huffed at the pair. They had their hands stuffed into their pockets, looking down at their shoes in shame. Like little kids who got in trouble with their parent.

"Okay, what's going on with you two?" You questioned. "You've been fighting over me like..like you got a crush or something."

"....."

"......."

"Now neither of you wanna talk? Man..you're both confusing. But that's alright, I'll make us stay out here all night until-"

"Fine." Tord was the first to crack, taking out a cigar to light it. "I only came back because..I liked you. But funny how this one-" He elbowed Tom's side. "-decides to fall in love with you now, even though he's been your roommate for way longer. That's just classic, stupid Tom for you."

The man in blue scowled at the insult, but looked up at you with a small sigh, confirming that Tord wasn't lying. "Yeah, well maybe I am stupid to think I had a shot. Forget I ever said anything." He was about to leave and go back inside the house, only for you to grab his hood.

"Oh no you don't. You're not running off like you did when Tord took your room. Just talk to me or I'll dump the last bottle of smirnoff down the drain."

Once again, your threat worked as Tom stayed put. You let go of his hood, allowing him to face you once more. "I mean..you know how we feel about you now, but...even if you like us back, it's not like you can have both of us-"

"Why not?"

He blinked at your question. Even Tord was caught by surprise as he choked on smoke for a second. They didn't seem to understand what you were implying, so you elaborated that you actually liked both of them equally, and it was possible to date both of them.

Neither were aware of that before, but looked disgruntled over the idea of sharing you--considering their rivalry. Though on the bright side, it would save one of them from heartbreak and envy..

"You two can fight about whatever the heck you want, but not me." You wrapped both arms around their shoulders, grinning as the blushes on their faces worsened. "See? Problem solved."

"W-Would..that be alright with you?" Tom still felt a little uncertain. "I mean Tord and I still have some...things to work on.."

"And I'll help you both work on those issues as they come."

The other male nodded in understanding, smirking as he wrapped his arm around you. "Oh, [y/n]. Always the peacekeeper in our little group, eh? Just like old times."

"Yep." You hugged the two close, noting Tom's tiny smile. "Definitely like old times."
