*Tom walking around the Red army*
Random group of soldiers : “OMG is it true you and Red leader are a couple?! How long has it gone on? Who confessed first? What are the wedding plans? TELL US EVERYTHING!!”
Tom:
Idk if he’d handle all the attention well
Oh no he wouldn't
Given his inner conflict? Tom would freeze like a deer in headlights if someone so much as infers he and Tord are an item. The last thing he wants is for him to get recognition within the Red Army ranks
