when you walked in the door you felt too awake to sleep, so you grabbed a drink from the kitchen and settled down on the sofa ready to binge whatever show came up first. you then remembered how uncomfortable your current clothes were. you dragged yourself back up into your feet and changed into joggers and a hoodie. as you pattered down the stairs you heard the door open and close.
"hey mum is that you?" you half yelled down the last few stairs
"yea I'm home."
you slid down the wooden banister that trailed over the carpeted stairs and made your way into the living room. you sat down on the sofa opposite to your mum and grabbed the remote, flicking through various channels. your mum was almost twitching with anticipation before you said "got something to say mum?"
"how was dinner?" she blurted
"it was great" you pressed play on a channel. "tasted really nice. met his parents, and did a stream with him."
"what are his parents like?"
"oh, they're lovely. his mum is slightly like you and his dad reminds me of Hekakiah, his and scary looking on the outside, and soft and sweet on the inside."
"ah yes"
"we also talked about your work, and the animal fostering we do. it seemed like they were interested in Delilah Johnny and Oli, they might be looking for a dog."
"oh how lovely"
you nodded and plonked yourself down on the sofa. Alex jumped up after you and laid down with his head in your lap. you stroked his soft golden fur whilst you scrolled through your twitter. you were already getting tagged in hundreds of fanarts of you and tommy. you decided to post a picture to your followers that had now skyrocketed in numbers.

@tommyinnit lil' pupper taking a nap 💤😴
@Tommyinnit ah bet he's tired after missing you all afternoon
@y/n.yogurt_packets yea bless him, isn't used to leaving my side
@Tommyinnit you'll have to tell him he'll see so much less of you because there's a new man in town and I want all your attention
you smiled and exhaled a breath of amusement. five minutes later you received a call from Tommy.
"did I not just say all your attention?"
"I have to feed the dogs in a minute"
"screw the dogs. talk to me instead!"
you tutted.
"Tommy the dogs are important. especially since three of them aren't ours"
"oh they'll survive a little longer."
"nope. im going to feed them now. and I'm taking you with me"
"fine, if it smells it's your fault"
you laughed at his grumpiness and hauled yourself up off the sofa and into the dog room. it had been your younger sisters exercise room.
"you have a specific animal room?" he asked incredulously
"Mhm"
"was it any thing else before?"
"um, yea. used to be my sisters exersise room"
"I didn't know you have a sister"
"had a sister" you corrected
"oh... I'm sorry. I didn't mean-"
"it's okay Tommy don't worry about it"
although you told him not to worry, he seemed figety and uncomfortable. after a short while he said goodbye and ended the call.
