TW: Mention of suicide (I'M SORRYYYY) Summery at the end of chapter if you don't want to read.

Apollo POV:

Me and Max had known each other for 2 months now, it was coming up to Christmas and i was round at his just chatting to him.

"What do you want for Christmas?" I asked Max

"Nothing, save your money"

"Tell me, I need to buy you something" I demanded

"There's nothing i want, just get me candy or something" He said

"Are you sure that's all you want?"

"Yep!"

We spoke for ages, Max asked me to sing to him for a bit, we watched a movie and baked cookies.

I really like spending time with him...

"Oh 1 moment i;m just getting a call" I replied picking my phone up "Hey dad"

"Hey kid.. i have some bad news" He said sounding upset

"What is it dad." I asked worridly looking at Max really confused

"Erm.. Tom has commited suicide, i'm so sorry hunni"

"what?? NO, he can't have gone" I said covering my mouth and breaking down

"Apollo, what's going on?" Max asked me

"I'm so sorry Apollo, i'm gonna go because i'm still at work. Bye" My dad said ending the call

I just looked at my blank phone screen, being told my best friend of so many years, that stuck by me through everything, that stayed with me through my many house moves, he was fucking gone, i could've fucking helped him but he's going.

"Tom... he's dead" I said to Max

"Apollo, i'm so sorry" Max said pulling me into a hug

I just cried into his chest "I could've helped him, he didn't tell me he was struggling, he fucking killed himself and didn't talk to me. He was there through everything, through me struggling, i was there for him. He just didn't tell me he had had enough, i could've fucking helped him" I sobbed, talking into Max's chest.

"Don't blame yourself, he would've reached out if he wanted the help. Trust me it's hard to comprehend and is hard to come around but i promise you, he will be watching over you your entire life. Through thick and thin he will still be there for you, even if you can't call him or text him anymore he's still there for you" Max said to me, crying into my hair

"Are you crying as well?" I asked

"maybe" He said "Do you have any comfort music or a comfort video or show i can put on for you? That can maybe help?"

"Erm yea, don't make fun of me but it's on the youtube channel Ranboo.."

Ranboo's POV:

Oh shoot, they watch me... Oh no

"it's the chair video" They told me

I put it on for them just trying to ignore the fact that Ranboo is me

"You know, you sound a lot like him, your hair also looks so similar to his, that's weird" They laughed

"Aha, yea weird" I said

After watching my video and just a few random videos on youtube to calm them down, they finally fell asleep.

I got my phone and text my mum

Max:

Apollo fell asleep, are they ok to stay the night?

BirthGiver

Yea sure

Max:

Thanks

I laid down with Apollo still laying on my chest, i got a blanket from under the couch and placed it over the both of us.

Summery:

Tom, Apollo's best friend died (from TW you can guess how)

Apollo watching a ranboo video and compared him to Ranboo (coninkidink i think not)

Apollo fell asleep on Ranboo

The end of summery
