Who: Kevin & Ron + Entwhistles
What: Meeting the Entwhistles
Where: Shrewsbury, Shropshire
When: Wednesday evening
Kevin would be lying if he said he wasn't nervous. He was very aware of Ron's hand in his, squeezing it occasionally as he drove, just to feel the reassuring squeeze back. It wasn't that he thought his family would embarrass him (too much) or that they would scare Ron off. It was just knowing that he hadn't brought anyone to meet his family since Duncan, and how that relationship subsequently crashed and burned. He knew that wasn't going to happen this time, but his stomach was still clenching out of nerves. By the time they drove through the center of Shrewsbury, his coffee from Diagon was long gone. He had passed the time, telling Ron about his family, trying to predict what would happen. How his mother was a professor at a University nearby, and would probably end up crying happy tears by the end of the night, because she really felt things. Or how his father was a police constable, and would probably make a joke about Kevin being gay and then realize that it might be offensive, and quickly apologize and get quiet for a bit. He and his brother would either end up wrestling or playing music together, and Dick would do his very best to bring up any embarrassing moment Kevin had ever experienced. "They're good people, honestly," he quickly added. Kevin was so caught up in what might happen that he was ignoring all the good aspects about his family. "I'm just- I really want you to like each other." Kev glanced over at Ron, shooting him a smile. Just like that, they were parking in front of a cozy, medium sized home. He leaned over and pressed his lips to Ron's. "It'll be fine, yeah?" He didn't have time to hear a response, as the front door opened, and Kevin's mother appeared. A grin appeared on his lips as he got out of the car and wrapped his arms around his mother. After a few seconds he stepped back to introduce Ron to her. "Mum, this is my boyfriend, Ron." "Annabel," his mother said quickly, stepping forward to give Ron a welcoming hug. When she stepped back once more, she glanced back at the house. "We'll go in in a second, but I figure we should wait to do this outside." Kevin only had time to let out a soft laugh and take a few steps away before his big brother came barreling through the door. Dick quickly ran over to Kevin, lifting him up in a hug. "That's Richard," Annabel offered to Ron, while Kevin was extracting himself from the embrace with a grin on his face. "They just saw each other last week, so I'm not sure why he's acting as though he hasn't seen Kevin in years." "To be annoying, of course," Dick explained, walking over to them with a grin. He held out his hand to Ron while Kevin stood between them. "Nice to actually meet you, Weasley." Kevin rolled his eyes, but didn't offer any explanation as his mum ushered them all inside. The house was warm and inviting inside, comfortable and clean, with many bookshelves and photos of the family. "He's annoyed that I told them we were moving in together before I introduced them to you," he whispered, taking Ron's hand. |
