No Fear

I am introducing a new character that I personally like, but I know for a fact quite a few of you won't like them due to their feelings toward Tom. . .

Third Person Pov:

Tom walks down the hallway with his head down and his hands in his pant's pockets, his blue digital eyes giving off a sad look. This is one of those days where he just isn't feeling motivated and all he can do is lay in bed for hours then walk around the large base several times until it's dark outside and the hall lights go out from curfew.

Suddenly Matt appears from a corner, he seems to have been running quite fast down the hallway. Once Matt spots Tom, he calls out to him, "Tom! Tom! I have exciting news!" and runs toward his saddened friend.

Tom looks up at Matt as he stands in front of Tom and quietly asks, "What is it?.."

Matt knows Tom isn't in the best mood, so he just hopes that this news will make him as happy as him, "A new batch of people have joined the Rebellion and unlike how most of the rebels chose to be offense rebels, there was a particular rebel that wanted the position as secretary!"

Tom doesn't quite understand as he asks, "And?.."

"Annnnd, Station Control has decided he would be the perfect secretary for you!" Matt replies and shows Tom a profile paper that shows the male wanting to take the secretary position. "Here's his form that he filled out! He seems like just the type you'd get along with!"

Tom reads parts of the form allowed, "His name is Luka Paris. He likes combat strategies, alcoholic beverages, and electronic devices. He dislikes communists, acting out without reason, training, and work.. and he's requesting the position of secretary."

"Isn't this gre-"

"I don't like him," Tom cuts Matt off and throws the form over his shoulder, then walking past a surprised Matt.

"Wait Tom!" Matt says and grabs the paper from the floor, then running in front of Tom and stopping the smaller male from walking any further. "You've been doing your paper work combined with Edd's, a little help once in a while could do you some good and this man will be the perfect guy to help you!"

"Matt, the reason I don't like him isn't because I don't want help. It's because he has many qualities that would work better in other rebel positions and I don't want to hold the guy back from a much more meaningful job that would do him better than such a simple job as a secretary," Matt frowns from within his black mask. "Besides, I'm doing fine on my own. I don't need any help, especially from a newbie that doesn't know how it works around here yet."

"But Tom-"

"Go tell the Station Control that I don't need him and they should put him in either the electronic scientist position or as a freshman offense rebel," Tom then looks back up at Matt with his eyes still showing a blue color, which let's Matt know he's still very sad on the inside no matter how normal he acts. "Got it?"

"Tom-"

"Good, I'll see you later Matt," Tom then shoves Matt's shoulder with his own to move past him, keeping his hands in his pockets and his head down.

Matt's usual response would be to do what Tom says, but he knows he needs to confront his friend. Matt turns around and says, "You can't do everything on your own Tom." which makes Tom stop walking.

Tom slowly turns around to Matt and gives him a serious look before saying, "I can and I will Matt, everyone is counting on me to save the world and I'm going to accomplish it.. even if it means I work myself to death."

Suddenly Matt grabs the front of Tom's shirt and pulls him close, he tries his best to be intimidating as he says, "I won't let you." The only reason he slightly intimidates Tom is because of his height, besides that Tom just feels bad for pulling out his friend's angry side.

Tom sighs and says, "Fine, if it'll make you feel more assured then I guess a little help wouldn't be bad.." Matt then smiles and lets me go.

"Thank you Tom," Matt says. "You know I don't like getting angry."

"Well then don't because you ain't scary," Tom says and Matt flinches in a offended surprise.

"Hey! I can get scary!"

"The day you get scary, is the day I decide to cut my tongue in half," Tom then turns around and begins walking away. "Bye now!"

Matt huffs then sighs, muttering to himself, "Well at least I got him to agree..."
