~Eddsworld Oneshots~

//This oneshot is based of the book They Both Die At The End by Adam Silvera, this kind of includes spoilers and mentions sensitive subjects like death. The endings of course will be diffrent but I hope you enjoy.//

DeathCast was introduced in the early 2000's and was a wonderful idea, for some. The Deathcast correctly predicts death dates and informs people that within 24 hours they will pass, people who have been informed are called deckers, deckers get free passes to many attractions and such.

Edd Gold, was called by deathcast and 2:04 AM and panic struck through him and he reluctantly picked up the phone "Is this Edd Gold?" and he replied quietly "Yes" his voice was shakely "I'm sorry to inform you that within the next 24 hours, you will meet an untimely death" and soon he just broke down, sobbing "We're sorry to lose you here at Deathc-" "IT'S NOT FAIR" Edd yelled through the phone. It was not the guy's fault though and he knew that, he mumbled quiet apologies to the man on the other side of the phone and hung up. Today was his last day and it was hard for him to grasp that but soon did, he stared out the window of his small apartment. He was sitting on his bed, over the sheets but now he just wanted to stay in his bed forever. How would he die, fire, car crash, crack his head open, the possibilities were endless and it kind of freaked him out.

He was only 25, and was just about to get a degree in fine arts. He had brown hair and brown eyes, he was not chubby nor skinny, just in between. He knew he needed to do something more with his life and needed to live his life to the fullest, or what was left of it.

Tord Larcan also received a call from Deathcast at 2:23 AM when he was outside smoking on his porch, he knew about the whole shabazz and he felt a bit of dread, but most of all ,rage. He picked up the phone and spoke out "No need to tell me the whole death shit, fuck off" he hung up, sure it was rude but he had no care in the world. Who cares anymore, when you're about to die, something in you changes. He glared at his cigarette and threw it aside, stomping it out. He sighed and got up, going inside and throwing on a red jacket, zipping it up and stuffing his phone in his pocket. He left his house and was ready to conquer the damn world. He knew it would happen, he was 27 with a smoking problem, though it didn't look like it. He was fit with grey eyes and caramel hair shaped into horns.

Tord's POV

I wanted to do something exciting, but I don't want to do any shit that'll get my ass beat and killed. There was this app called Last Friend, where you meet other deckers and spend your last moments, part of me kind of wanted to get it but you never know what can happen, maybe the person you meet is who's gonna kill ya. Being a decker makes you vulnerable and you never know what's going to go wrong, but you know what,...? Fuck. It. I installed the app and it made me confirm I'm a decker, this was dumb, then I had to sign out some information. occupation? None. Sexual orientation? Gay. Single or Taken? The fuck is this, a dating site?

Though I finished the form and looked through people who were online, half of them weren't deckers, just trolls. Soon I found this dude, his picture was quite funny, it was this brunette dude holding this dog who looks like he's gonna bite his face off but the guy holding him was completely calm and just smiling. I laughed quietly and started a chat and tried coming up with something smart 'ah shit, this sucks huh?' and I immediately cringed, what a dick move I just made. 'Yeah, kind of scary, don't you think..?' 'yeah'. I sighed 'sorry I just made a dick move..' and he seemed to respond quickly 'pfft yeah'. His response actually made me smile and relax 'you interested in Overwatch?' 'Holy shit yeah!'.

It felt like hours that we've been talking for hours but it was only 20 minutes 'We should meet up' and then Edd took a few minutes 'sure, at the park though' 'which one' 'Creek Park'. So I got up and noticed it was about 2:45, I don't know what time of day Deckers are most vulnerable but I felt unsafe. The park was about a 7 minute walk and I just started heading there, making a pattern with my steps, an OCD thing. The streetlamps made the whole thing eerie but I'm not a pussy, soon I got to the park and saw this dude on the bench. He was on his phone and his leg bounced, I went to him "Edd?" my accent really came out with that. He looked at me and the light reflected on his eye and his brown eyes really drew me in "Hi Tord!".

Edd's POV

Tord was tall, very very tall, which made me slightly nervous, but his smile was calming and trusting. He took my arm and pulled me off the bench "We can't do boring shit all day, let's do something fun" and I went into panic mode "Nono! We could get hit by a car, or get killed, or or.." and he shushed me "It's like 3 in the morning, plus you need to relax. We got each other's backs right" I nodded in response. "Good now let's go get some food before we do anything" and he held my wrist firmly as we went across the street to a Diner that serves 24 hours. We went in and he went to the counter, letting go and leaning on the counter. The poor worker seemed tired and half asleep "Two people?" and Tord huffed "duh".

The worker took us to a table and took our drink and food orders, Tord ordered steak and fries but called that 'breakfast' and I just shrugged it off, it's what he likes so I'm not going to judge. The more I look into his eyes the more I unwind, feeling warm. The food came in and I looked at my eggs and french toast, the food was clearly rushed but I was starving. I dug in and looked at Tord who ate his food, seeming reluctant. "The food isn't going to jump up and get ya" I commented and he snickered "Oh nah, I think I've just lost my appetite ", I smiled "At least we get a Decker's discount so not a big deal.". He nodded and stabbed at his steak as I finished my own meal. Tord perked up "Hey I have some buddies I want to say goodbye to, then we can go to a club if you want." and I just nod, getting up and he does the same. I patted my pockets as I walk to the front and Tord notices "Don't worry about it, I'll pay" and I felt a bit guilty "Alright".

He paid for it and he walked out, I followed in pursuit and he walked across the street, not even looking. I saw headlights, fuck this is it, my Last Friend is dead, I don't know why but I grabbed his shirt and pulled him back, the car zooming past and he just stared up at me, I wonder what was going on in his head, I pulled him to the sidewalk and he just seemed dazed as I checked his elbows. When I pulled him it tore through his jacket and scratched up his elbows. I huff "Be more careful" he broke out of his trance and nodded "Sorry, thank you".

He got up and tried crossing the street again, looking both ways and I did the same. Now I really needed to watch over him, he nearly missed death but it'll still come to get him. I smiled "So what are you friends like?" Tord chuckled "Their kind, they'd do anything for me and kill someone if they fucked with me" He joked (I hope) and he approached a motel, going in and going up the stairs and I huffed, going up the stairs but grabbing onto the side rail for dear life, how was he so calm, he could fall down these stairs and hit his head! We went up 3 flights before he went to one of the motel rooms and knocked "Pat! Paul", the door swung open and there were two guys one was really scruffy looking with brown hair and a slight scar under his eye while the other was extremely tall and looked sweet and kind.

The taller one smiled and hugged him "Hey! What's up" he looked into his eyes and Tord's face saddened and so did I "DeathCast called me" and the other man seemed mad "Bullshit! Don't say that shit" Tord shook his head "I mean it, they did.". Tord held the taller man's face "Ey Pat, don't cry" I didn't realize is but this Pat guy was crying, so the other guy (Paul I guess) hugged Pat. Paul tried calming Pat down, while Tord just looked at me "I got a Last Friend tho guys" and they both looked at me. I flushed and just kinda stared, Tord laughed, he was so happy in such terrible situation "Shy much, Edd?" and I playfully punched him in the arm. Pat sniffled and smiled "So Tord, how are you going to spend the rest of the day doing?" and Tord looked off "Going to that club, the one with karaoke and no b-" Paul huffed "No booze, your lame".

Tord smiled "It's how I want to spend my end day, then just go home and wait for death to come get me" he joked. Pat sighed, saddening again "Well you going now?" Tord nodded "Yeah".
Which was a lie because they talked for a few minutes more before me and Tord headed out, going down the stairs. I grabbed the handrail tightly, It was going okay until I felt my feet slip under me, though I grabbed onto the rail quickly. I stopped it and stood back up, acting as if it didn't happen.

Tord's POV

Edd was clumsy and cute, I wonder how he'd be at the club and I also wonder if he'd come home with me. Time felt so short but it had been 12 PM so I wonder how long we were really out. I lead the way to the club, which was close and I bet everyone would already be there, having a great time. I walked in and the music blasted loudly, Edd grabbed my hand as we passed through crowds to get a drink. I went in and got some Shirley Temples for me and Edd, which he surprisingly enjoyed as well. So we drank rambling on about stories of our pasts and such. Then I took him to dance to a crazy song.

The song was loud and fun, Edd seemed anxious but soon the whole mood changed, the song was switched to a lighter tone, some Decker probably requested it so they can feel the words as they danced. I grabbed Edd's waist and pulled him in, he almost immediately wrapped his arms around my neck and I chuckled "I see it's not your first time slow dancing eh?". We stepped side to side, going around in a circle and my heart nearly exploded when I looked at his expression, he was smiling and his cheeks were red, there was this shine in his eye which made my heart flutter. I just went down and kissed him, I felt his lips press back against mine, we stayed like that but pulled away.

Edd said softly, "I just want to go home and rest, to never leave" and I nod "Let's do that then". Like that we left, he lead me to an apartment building and he took me to his room. It was nice and he laid on the bed, patting beside him as I went down and laid by him. I kissed him all over his face as he giggled and we just held each other drifting off.

Many hours later it was about 3 AM, they both had passed that 24 Hour mark and were the first to pass their deaths, they made their mark in history and then made their own history together.
