Adopted by the Sidemen

"You want me to kidnap a child?!"

"We'll see you lot later! thank you for the lovely lunch" I smiled, waving the other two off and taking tom's hand in my own. since he spoke about his family struggles earlier with the boys, he's been awfully quiet. i haven't made him speak because i understand he's most likely got thoughts racing around in his mind, but i'm concerned about him. as far as i'm aware his parents have only been arguing but i don't know if that's the full story. "y'alright hun?" i squeezed his hand to grab his attention as i grabbed my phone to order an uber for the both of us "hm? oh yeah i'm- yeah i'm ok, i just need a nap or something" i sighed knowing that means he simply got no sleep, most likely because of his parents. "Tom you're staying at mines for a while okay? i can't be having you getting no sleep and being miserable. mum nor dad won't mind, you practically live with us anyway." he mumbled a 'fine' and rested his head on my shoulder while we waited for the uber to show up.

"What so you want me to kidnap a child?!" i shook my head at mums stupid remark "no, i want you to agree to letting him stay for a while. please mum, he needs a safe space." she sighed and made some form of gesture, sending me back into my room while saying "tell him he needs to text his mum though, i'm not having the police at my door." i nodded and shut my door behind me, looking over at the boy on my bed. "you need to text your mother and tell her you're staying here, mum doesn't want the police to show up." he nodded and bregudgingly grabbed his phone to text her, huffing as he wrote the text. "Listen tom, i'm trying my hardest to be accomodating. i'm sorry if i've overstepped some line but please just recognise that i am trying to be supportive" I sat down at my desk, my back turned to him, and began to look through the comments on my new video.

It was nice to see all the supportive comments but of course, there was the few horribly rude and transphobic comments. Ones that will be hard to shake off, stuff that you cant just get off your mind easily. I deleted what i could, but some things stayed in the back of my mind. "Dyl, i'm sorry. can you please just come to bed," i turned in my chair to face him "i understand you're going through it, but please can you understand i'm trying to help. So if it's not helping i need you to tell me, i've been through something similar in the past. I know how this goes. I love you okay? i'll be two minutes, just gonna look through some DMs okay?" I opened twitter and began searching through some of the messages. After scrolling through some, one in particular stood out to me. it was from a young person called tommo, similar ages to me. reading through their message they shared their story, letting me know that they were a transmasc teen who resonated with a lot of the stuff i talked about in my video, particulary mental health and coming to terms with sexuality/gender labels. I sent them a quick response and quickly, a converstation sparked up between the both of us.

Pulling the DM conversation up on my phone, i climbed into bed beside tom and lay my head on his chest "you know i love you right?" i nodded "i know, i love you too. you're going through alot right now and i have to respect that" i gave him a small smile before returning back to the conversation i was having with tommo, "who you talking to?" "someone who dm'd me about the video, his names tommo, seems really sweet" i shut my phone off shorty followed by my eyes before laying down completely to sleep. "night babe, love you"i felt tom's hand rest on my waist, him responding before also deciding to get some rest.

mmmmmmmmmm real friends integrations, i did get tommos permission to write this btw

anyway i am tired as shit and i've had enough of typing so enjoy this short one whilst i think of what the hell to do next xoxo
