Summary: Tom’s favorite girls are you and Tessa, here are headcanons about how the two of you get along.
Author’s Note: This was a request I’ve had in there for like a week. BTW if you make requests I see them, I got you. I have other ones in the works. I just finally got inspiration for it so finally here is the final product. I hope you guys enjoy this. Feel free to give me any feedback (good, bad, whatever) and that’s about it.
Requested: “Toms s/o relationship with Tessa. Headcanons of course”
Tom, as we all know, is a family man and Tessa is definitely a part of the family.
She is the Holland princess so you were extremely worried about her “approval”.
Tom would never say this out loud but he honestly couldn’t date someone that didn’t get along with his angel.
You moving into Tom’s apartment was actually the first time you met Tessa.
You and Tom’s relationship was based mostly in the U.S., but he asked you to move in with him and you were head over heels so you followed him to London.
Understandably, you were nervous as his parents brought Tessa over to your new apartment for the first time.
They suppose they’ll let Tessa hang out at Tom’s place while he’s in town because he’s technically her human.
The grey lion bounded through the door like an excited puppy.
She pounced on Tom, and he caught her falling back on the couch and laughing.
“There’s my girl.”
Tessa licked Tom all over his face, making him laugh.
He looked up while rubbing her belly and smiled at you.
“Come on over babe.”
You gently sat on the couch next to the two and Tessa glanced over at you.
For a few moments, she just stared before she leaned over and began licking your hand, trying to figure you out.
“She’s nice Tess, go on love,” Tom said rubbing her belly.
Tessa laid down so that her head was on your lap while the rest of her body was on Tom’s lap.
She nudged her head towards you which you delightfully rubbed.
The fur baby laid there in bliss as you and Tom spoiled her.
“I think you’ve pleased her highness.”
“Yes, I think I’ll be able to keep my head for another day.”
From then on Tessa became your fur baby.
She was spoiled before but now that you were able to be there with her along with Tom she was super spoiled.
You loved giving her little food treats
Homemade dog treats
Freshly cooked dog food or gourmet dog food
Seriously they make dog food tailored to certain occasions (Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, etc.)
Tom got lowkey jealous of how well Tessa ate.
“Ah, babe we’re having steak.”
“No why would you think that?”
“Um because you’re cooking a steak.”
“It’s for Tess, she was such a good girl running errands with me today.”
“So what am I supposed to eat?”
“I don’t know, you’re a grown man.”
Then he’d get all sulky and order takeout for both of you while watching Tessa eat her superior meal.
The three of you would workout together.
Every morning (to keep up with Tom’s fitness routine) you would get up and walk to a local park.
Tessa would be the most energetic, tugging you two along to hurry up so she could play.
You couldn’t help but laugh at how thrilled she was to get to the park.
Tom would run some laps while you would play fetch with Tessa.
Tessa and Tom would also race
Tessa wins obviously
You would cheer her on and give her hugs.
“Yay Tess! You’re a winner!”
Tom would be salty
“Psh, she cheated.”
You kiss Tom’s cheek to make him feel better, even though he lost.
Tom normally didn’t like when you let Tessa lay all over the furniture (you couldn’t help it she was just so cute) but he did feel himself swoon as he watched the two of you napping on the couch together.
He had just got off a 13-hour flight and sleepily stumbled into the apartment.
He followed the dim lamplight from the living room and found the two of you sleeping on the couch.
You laid on your stomach and Tessa found a comfy position on your back, using your hair as a pillow.
Tom smiled at the sight, gently setting his bags down.
Tessa woke up, jumping off the couch and running excitedly over to Tom.
He let her give him kisses all across his face.
He would gently press his finger to his lips.
“Tess, darlin’ we have to be quiet for mommy can’t let her wake up.”
But her tail would be wagging so hard and she clumsily keeps trying to jump into his arms that you eventually wake you
“Tess, go back to bed.”
It takes you a minute to realize that Tom is there with you.
“Tommy!”
“I missed you guys. Tessa already gave me kisses, can I get some from you too?”
“Mmm, I suppose so.”
One day you decided to take Tessa to a dog park.
Tom was hesitant on the idea because of the reactions he’s gotten before.
You convinced him that everything was going to be fine.
At first, things were going fine.
You and Tom were responsible dog owners so you kept Tessa on her leash and kept your eyes on her.
Things slowly went south though when a woman with a fluffy Pomeranian walked by and Tessa decided to be friendly and gently nudge the other dog.
The owner was not happy.
“Get your mutt away.”
And then she proceeded to kick Tessa.
Listen, fighting is wrong you’re all about peace, love and that other shit but in that moment you wanted to knock her ass out.
Especially when Tessa let out a pained whimper at the woman’s foot.
Tom saw what was about to go on and stepped in between the two of you.
“Don’t kick our dog,” He said calmly.
“YEAH DON’T KICK MY FUCKING DOG,” You said trying to get past his arm.
“That thing tried to attack my dog,” The woman defended, pulling her leash closer to her.
“Tessa is a saint unlike you, you stank ass-” You started to go off but Tom gently pushed you away so he could handle the situation on his own.
You growled but stomped off in a huff with Tessa.
She still whimpered some which made you soften up and hug her.
“You know you’re my girl, Tess. You little angel you.”
