T/W: Slight Language & Angst, Mentions Of Abuse

Mark's P.O.V

Inner thoughts

It was great being able to teach my kid how to play video games, I was never expecting to adopt a trans kid, but I couldn't care less how they identify or who they love. They will always be my kid. Y/N seems genuinely happy here as well. I'm so happy to make him happy. He called me Dad for the first time the other day, and he hasn't stopped since. He's a good kid, and I don't know why he was put into the system, but he seems like he's been through a lot. Maybe one day I'll ask him, but I would like to wait until he comes to me.

Amy seems happy as well. She's told me before she wanted kids, but I wanted to be with her longer. Amy and I got married a while back, and it was the best day of our lives. I'm glad she's happy. It took us a few years, but we finally have a kid of our own, adopted or not.

Present
Amy and Y/N are hanging out in the living room with Chica, I can hear Y/N's giggles from my recording room. Sadly, I'm a bit busy talking to Lixion and editing our latest video to hang out with them.

Lixion:
"So you have a kid now, right Mark?"

I didn't know he would ask about that, but I replied.

Me:
"Yeah, I do. Y/N's a great kid. He seems like he has a lot of potential in the future."

Lixion Chuckled
"That's great, Mark. Are you and Amy both happy with him?"

I nod, forgetting he can't see me cause I don't have my camera on
"Yeah, we are. It's not like we wouldn't be. When Amy and I found out she couldn't have kids, we were devastated. Now we have one, and it's been nothing but happiness. Once he started calling us mom and dad, it was a slight shock, but it felt amazing for both of us. There is something that worries me, though."

Lixion:
"What's that, Mark?"

I pause, wondering if I should talk about this with Lixion. It's not necessarily my place. "Well..." I sigh."He was put in the system when he was thirteen, but he seems like there was something bad that happened before then. He flinches and tenses up sometimes. He seems scared one of us will hit him."

A sigh came from the other end of the phone from Lixion.
"I hate to talk about this 'cause it even pisses me off, but Y/N is Trans right?"

I pause, thinking about what might have happened makes my blood boil.
"Yeah, he is, but there should be nothing wrong with that, and his parents are assholes if that was the problem.

Lixion sighed again
"Yeah, they are... but that is a possibility. He could have been abused. It's shitty, I know. Maybe bring it up next time he seems tense?"

I stopped for a minute, processing it all and trying to calm my emotions and think rationally.
"Yeah, I think that's a good idea."

I sighed once again, and then Lixion and I got back to editing.

Y/N's P.O.V

Chica was attacking my face, giving me all the kisses while I giggled and watched a movie with Amy, who was also giggling. I guess she thought it was cute how close me and Chica were. I looked up at the TV, we were watching some kind of action movie. It was pretty good, but I prefer comedy movies over anything, so I couldn't pay too much attention to it. I was more worried about what Mark was doing. He said we would have some family time after he got done editing, I walked up to the door and was about to knock when I overheard the conversation "Y/N is trans right?" My heart began to pound in my chest. I was worried that the person on the phone would tell them to disown me and take me back. I started to cry, filled with fear that my new life, the one I grew to love, was going to be taken from me. I ran to my room and slammed the door, locking it as the panic settled in. "Y/N?! Is everything alright?" I hear Amy call, but I don't move, I was panicking too much to even get up. Amy tested the door "Y/N please open the door hun! I want to make sure you're okay!" My breath was shaky and rough. I wanted to open the door, but I couldn't even move

Amy's P.O.V

Y/n had gone to check on Mark, but I heard his door slam, and now he wouldn't open it. I could hear his breathing. It sounded panicked. "Please open the door, sweetheart..." After not getting a response besides the breathing, I ran to Mark's recording room and slammed open the door."Mark! There's something wrong with Y/N! He won't open his door! He sounds like he's having a panic attack." Before I knew it, Mark pushed his chair away from the door and ran over to Y/N's door

Your P.O.V

I heard Amy run off and scream for Mark, and then I heard Mark rushing over. He's gonna take me back now, Huh? Then there was a reply. "Kiddo... You need to open the door... please. We just want to make sure you're okay." For once, I heard the shaking in Mark's normally happy and ecstatic voice. "D-dad?" I said through sobs. "Yes, Kiddo... now please come open the door. I understand if you want privacy, but we won't leave you like this." I stood up slowly, almost falling from the lack of air, and opened the door, tears still streaming down my "Kiddo... what's wrong?" I hugged Mark tightly."Please don't take me back. I don't want to go back.." Mark seemed genuinely confused while hugging back."Kiddo... now why would I ever do that?" He pushed me back gently and looked at me wiping my tears. "What's your thinking that?" I looked up at him, "I- I heard you on the phone. The person asked if I was trans... I thought whoever it was would tell me I was disgusting or... or to take me back because I wasn't any good." Mark gulped. "They did... didn't they?" He shook his head."No, even if they did, I never would... but can I ask you something?.." I gulped and nodded."Why were you put in the system?" There it was. The question I didn't even want to answer for myself, but it was Mark and Amy, I could tell them... here it goes...
