Saving Me [MxM]

Chapter 06 (Part Two)

Nathan really wished these people would pick a damn time. He hummed quietly, taking his phone back out and heading into the kitchen to call Elle again. 

"Boy. What do you want?"

"Oh, well if you don't want my boyfriend over..."

"Oh! When did he say?"

"Now works."

"Now? Oh, that was fast. Okay then, I'll tell Eric and start on the spaghetti. Does Venerra eat spaghetti?"

"I guess. All kids love noodles. I'm twenty and I still love noodles."

"Yeah, yeah, okay, now go away and get your ass over here."

"That was the most contradictory sentence I have ever heard."

"Shut up." Elle ended, hanging up and making Nathan smile as he walked back into the living room. He clapped his hands together to get Varian and Venerra's attention. 

"Okay. Everyone in the car." he said. It was a good thing they were both dressed already. He wanted to get there as soon as possible to get this over with. Not saying that it would end badly, but he did suddenly feel a little nervous. For Eric, this would be his first time meeting Varian. For Elle, she might be awkward since she was still trying to get comfortable with Varian. In all, it should be an interesting night.

Venerra set down Varian's book before hopping off the couch and running for the front door, waiting at it for one of the adults. Varian moved slower, but made his way over, looking somewhat amused by Venerra as Nathan smiled. He headed for the door as well, leading the two of them back to his car. Venerra headed straight for the back, where she'd sat before, as Nathan and Varian got into the front. Once everyone was buckled in, Nathan started the car, backing out of the driveway and starting down the road to his house.

Varian glanced around the car before his eyes settled on Nathan. "Where do you live anyway? You never mentioned a location."

"In town. Blue townhouse." Nathan mumbled with a shrug. "It's a few blocks away from Millie's store."

"Interesting." Varian replied. "Anything I should be worried about?"

"Mom might be a little awkward. Other than that, not really. Everything should be fine."

"Joy. Awkward parents." Varian muttered sarcastically. "They're not going to interrogate me are they?"

Nathan smiled. "They might. Fair warning." he said. Eric probably wouldn't-- Nathan would be surprised if he spoke at all beyond a 'hello'. Elle, however, he wasn't sure about. Sure, she knew he had the farm and Venerra, but there was a lot more she could ask about. 

Varian rolled his eyes, smiling a little. "Suppose I can't complain, it's only natural for parents to be curious."
