Where the feelings grew (SMUT INCLUDED)

Bad habits

Zak woke up and after he brushed his teeth, he went to the kitchen to look for food but the fridge was empty and so he went back to the bedroom and nudged Darryl.
"Z-Zakkk?" Darryl said sleepily.
"Hey, I'm gonna go and head out to the shops, the kitchen is looking a little empty." Zak said softly, moving Darryl's hair from his eyes.
"Mhmm...okay." Darryl mumbles.
Zak chuckled and got himself ready to go out. He started up the car and drove down to the mall.

Meanwhile at home

Darryl got up after about 20 minutes after Zak left the house. He went on his pc and just looked on YouTube for ideas when he sees a few people re uploading his facecam streams.
"Oh my goodness..." He says to himself.
He clicks onto the video and looks at the comments.
"Ew he's horrible!"
"His face doesn't match his voice wtf."
"Stop being mean to him!"
"Fake, the real one is bald."
Darryl wanted to stop looking but he couldn't.
"I need to remind myself never to do face cam streams ever again." He said to himself, holding back his emotions. After seeing every comment, he turned off his pc and went to the kitchen. He sat on the floor and opened up a cabinet. He saw a bottle of vodka hidden behind some boxes and grabbed it out. He took a few sips out of the bottle and sat there with his eyes full off tears.

Meanwhile at the mall

Zak had gotten a bunch of groceries and packed them into the car, on his way back, he saw this jewellery store and went inside, he wanted to get something nice for Darryl and so he did. He got Darryl a chain. He was hoping that Darryl would like it. After a few hours, Zak started making his way back home. After about 15 minutes of driving later, Zak arrives back at the house.
"Hey Darryl! I'm home, I got you something!" Zak calls out.
He doesn't hear an answer.
"Darryl?" Zak says worryingly.
He walks into the kitchen and drops all of the shopping bags onto the floor. He sees Darryl wasted on the floor and rushes over to him.
"Darryl...what the fuck happened?" Zak says, petrified.
"Whhhhat?" Darryl said, rubbing his aching head.
"Darryl what happened to you?!" Zak said with his hands resting on Darryl's neck.
"Nothinnng happeneddd Zakkk..." Darryl slurred each word. Darryl opened his eyes and looked up at Zak.
"Your eyes are red..." Zak gulped.
He put his arm around him and helped him up. Zak brought him to the bedroom and tucked him in. He went to the kitchen and took out a water bottle from the cabinet and brought it to Darryl. He left it on the bedside table since he had already fallen asleep.
"Oh Darryl what did you do to yourself..." Zak said trying to keep himself together. He went on Darryl's pc and saw what he was looking at. They were videos of him. He scrolled to the comments and saw a few hateful comments and stopped himself from reading the rest. He sighed. All of these people didn't know the damage they were doing and he wish that they did. After about half an hour of Zak sending emails back and forth to youtube, Darryl woke up.
"Zak?" Darryl said, making Zak turn around instantly before running towards him.
"Darryl! You're awake! You had me so worried!" Zak said euphorically.
"I'm sorry." Darryl said shamefully.
"Nono it's okay..what happened?" Zak said despite him being pretty sure he knew.
"Oh it was nothing I just had too much to drink." Darryl lied, feeling weak.
"Darryl. It's okay, you're beautiful you don't have to listen to everyone else. Just listen to me." Zak said.
Darryl sighed and slumped back down into bed, he felt embarrassed that he'd gotten drunk for such a reason.
"Please, you know you can talk to me." Zak said.
"This is so embarrassing Zak. I got so drunk that you had to drag me into the bed and the reason is stupid." Darryl said, his voice muffled from covering his face with the blankets.
"The reason isn't stupid, but you don't have anything to worry about the videos will be taken down if not have all comments disabled." Zak said, hoping it would cheer him up.
"What did you do?" Darryl asked.
"I got in contact with YouTube and they said they'll look into getting the videos removed."
Darryl laughed.
"Am I that weak that you felt the need to do that?" Darryl said, a little bit frustrated.
"What?! No! I just thought it would make you feel better!" Zak said.
"You made everything worse Zak." Darryl yawned before falling asleep.
Zak felt really shitty, he just wanted to help him but he just made things worse apparently. He let out a deep sigh. He went to to the living room and he slept on the couch. By slept I mean toss and turn and unable to get a wink of sleep.
