Mullette parents adopt

This is going to be long so let's start!

Modern Au

Warning- homeless teen and transphobia, panic attacks 

Note- Main character is trans (mtf) and adopted by Hercules and Lafayette. Lafayette is Non-Binary and pronouns are they/them.

Storytime! My name is Joshua Mulligan De Lafayette, and yes I am trans. So where do I start? When I was 7 I found out that I'm trans, and decided to tell my parents not knowing that transphobia exists. Unfortunately, they kicked me out for being trans.

After about a year I used all the money I had and was about to die of starvation. Then, two people walked by me, their hands entwined. One had their hair in a tight bun, some great facial hair, and a long sleeved black lace dress. The other had on a beanie and casually wore a hoodie and jeans looking at his date proudly. They looked at the pathetic lump of sadness that was me, cold, starving, half dead, me.

They walked over to me and the taller one in the dress got on their knees to get down to my level as I sat on the bench.

"Bonsoir, are you ok?" (Good evening/ hello, are you ok?) I tried to place their accent, I guessed French since he said "Bonsoir"

I shook my head

"Where is your family?"

"Th-th-they they, a-abandoned m-m-me," I said, stuttering from both the cold and sadness.

"Do you need a place to stay?"

"Y-y-you d-don't h-have to." I managed.

"Nonsense! No one should be on the streets, especially children," The other man spoke up in a very deep voice. "What's your name, kid?"

"Uhhhhhh....." I debated which name to tell them, my real name, or my birth name. I decided to go for the first. When I left I got some scissors and cut my hair short, I still trim it occasionally so I look more like a guy. I lowered my voice to help them believe I was a guy. "Joshua."

"Well Joshua, how'd you feel about getting a new family with two great dads?" The second one said.

"Pardon, if you don't mind me asking, what are your....What's the word? Hercules?"

"Pronouns?" He supplied.

"Ahhh, yes, your pronouns."

I thought for a second, they already know my real name so I might as well tell them the truth. Lowering my voice again I said, "He/Him."

"Merci! Well now that that is out of the way we must introduce ourselves. Je m'appelle Marie-Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de Lafayette, but you can call me Gilbert, or Lafayette, or Laff, or just about anything. Also, I hope that you are ok with they/them pronouns." (Merci= Thank you Je m'appelle= My name is)

I nodded to show I was ok with it. Then the other person spoke up, "I'm Hercules Mulligan, and this wonderful person is my fiancé." He said showing off his date who blushed.

The one named Lafayette held their hand out to me. I took it and got up following them wherever they were heading.

"Thank you Mr.Mulligan and Mx.Lafayette." I said as we walked off.

"Please, no need to be so formal," the Frenchman (Frenchperson? Idk) spoke up.

"Now why don't we get some food?" The man on the other side of Lafayette suggested.

"Yes please!" I nodded. Upon hearing my voice I silently cursed myself for sounding so feminine.

"Joshua? Are you ok?" Hercules asked.

"Yeah, just not feeling myself." I said trying to hide my dysphoria.

"May I ask what is wrong?"

"I-I-I just am being way too girly aren't I?" I silently cursed myself again for saying that.

"Why do you say that?" Laff stopped in their tracks, looking at me concerned.

"I don't know, I just feel like I'm as much of a guy as I'd like to be."

Hercules looked confused while

Laff put the pieces together.

"Are you...." They paused trying to find the word.

"Trans?" I interrupted. They nodded, "Yeah, I am. That's why.." My voice cracked. Tears came to my eyes. Both of them got the message.

"It's ok! We are perfectly happy to have such a wonderful boy here with us. How about after we eat we go to the store and get you some guy stuff?"

"Yes, yes please!" I yelled, my tears were no longer of sadness but of joy.

"So what to eat?" Hercules asked.

"Why don't we let Joshua choose?"

"I don't care, as long as I can eat!"

"Well you heard him let's get this boy some food!"

I laughed at his comment. They might not be too bad after all.

⭐⭐⭐

After we ate we went to the store to get me some of the basics, clothes, soap toothbrush, toothpaste, all that stuff.

Once we got finished shopping we went to their house. I'm staying in their guest bedroom now while they are trying to get everything set up.

⭐⭐⭐

The next day they both took off of work to make sure I was ok and to get to know me.

They took me to get a proper haircut, so now I look a little more like a guy. They also set up a doctors appointment to make sure I'm healthy and all that before I started school and stuff. Unfortunately, I was too young to start testosterone or anything.

Within the next week they had already started getting papers to adopt me (thanks to their friends Alex and Laff's cousin Thomas who are both lawyers). They also enrolled me in the local elementary school. They had to have a parent teacher conference to tell them my name was Joshua and I was a guy rather than Clara and being a girl.
