TW: Talking about his cousin's death

Apollo POV:

It was the next day, i decided to ask Max about the set up, I was nervous but still wanted to do it, we were just chilling on the couch on our phones.

"Hey Max" I  said putting my phone down

"Ye?" He asked looking at me

"So yesterday when i went to the bathroom, i walked into a room that i thought was yours but wasn't. I noticed it had a full gaming  set up and a unicorn chair, by any chance are you Ranboo?" 

Ranboo POV:

Oh no... how do i respond, she watches me and everyone so she won't judge but do i want her to know? I have to don't I?

"I'm sorry, i crossed a boundary didn't i?" They said

"Er no you didn't you're just curious. Yes, i am Ranboo"

"Pog" They said going back on their phone

Was it as easy at that?  

"I'm doing a charity stream tonight, if you want to join me at all?" 

(AN: I can't find the VOD and exact date for this stream- so i'm doing it before Christmas) 

"Yeah sure, what's the charity?" they asked me

"The Trevor project" 

"Oh cool, i've  heard of them" 

It was time to stream.

"Hey chat, so today is going to be a charity stream for the trevor project, i do have a friend here with me IRL. 

"Hey chat" Apollo said

The whole chat started spamming 'girl?' 'female?' 'ranboo has a GF??' 

"Chat this is Apollo, they're not my GF they're my friend"

I read a donation aloud "What are yours and Apollos pronouns"

"My pronouns are he/him" I said looking to Apollo

"Mine are they/them, thanks for asking" Apollo said to chat

Apollo was tired so went to take a nap and i was playing hypixel parkour, it had been about an hour and half into the stream when Apollo woke up.

"Hello there sleepyhead" I said to her waking up

"Hi, still streaming?" 

"Yee"

Apollo went to go get a drink but also took my water bottle and filled it up, coming back into the room and sitting down on the couch i have at the edge of my streaming room.

"So" I stopped ingame "I should probably tell you why i choose the trevor project as the charity"

"A couple years ago, i had a cousin and she.." Tears started forming in my eyes "she was questioning and didn't know how to handle her emotions"

At this point i hadn't noticed i had tears streaming down my face and Apollo had stood up, stood behind me and wrapped their arms around me.

"And she.. she killed herself due to not knowing how to handle her emotions. So please if you're struggling reach out, it would've helped her so much so please, get help if you need it or struggling" I was full on sobbing at this point, i muted my mic and hugged into Apollo's arms.

I carried on streaming for another hour and half and then ended, i got 100,000 subs this stream (I think it was this one he got 100,000?) Me and apollo decided to order some McDonald's too the house

"i'm so sorry about your cousin" Apollo said

"It's ok" I responded

"Is this why you started crying when i got the call about Tom?" They asked me 

"Erm yea, but i can tell you it get's easier with missing them" I said

"Thanks"
