Meeting his friends (Q/READER)

Start from the beginning
                                    

Within minutes you had pulled up outside the bar and paid the cabby, standing in the doorway you took a deep breath to settle your own nerves, Brian must have noticed cause he laced his fingers through your own and gently squeezed, smiling down at you, you instantly relaxed, he really did make you feel safe. Bran pushed the door and walked into the bar not letting go of your hand, he must have spotted his friends cause he headed over to a booth where three men and another woman were seated, still holding your hand he spoke "hey guys, this is my girlfriend (YN), (YN) this is joe, sal, murr and this is bessy, joes wife" he said pointing to each one as he named them. "So nice to meet you (YN)" the one Brian called Murr said holding his hand out to shake, you obliged. "Yeah, it's really good to meet the girl who's got Quinn to settle down" the one brain called Sal added chuckling, the humour in his statement made you giggle and you shook his hand also "very nice to meet you (YN) we have all heard so much about you" Joe spoke standing up and pulling me into a giant bear hug "hi, (YN)" bessy said as Joe released you, "I'm so glad to have another female to save me from all the guy chat from these idiots" she laughed as joe elbowed her "it's very nice to meet all of you, I've heard a lot about you all" I finally spoke up "all good things I hope" sal replied to me, looking up at Brian he looked so happy watching our interaction "oh I wouldn't say that sal" I said and winked, Brian let out a hearty laugh at my reply and joe spoke up "she's gonna fit in so well Q, you've got yourself a keeper" and with that Brian pilled me in close to his side and placed a kiss on my cheek. He pulled over a chair for me to sit on and went to the bar to get me a drink leaving me with these four strangers who even strangely enough made me feel so comfortable, I mean I'm not much of a people person but they made me feel like I had known them for years. We talked and laughed, and I got to know everyone so much better through the night. It was wonderful, watching Brian interacting with his friends, he never left my side and always either had his hand on my thigh or around my waist. It was such an amazing feeling, knowing that he wasn't ashamed to be with me, letting people know i was his and he was my guy.

Through out the night I had gotten on so well with joe and murr, they were just big idiots and I loved it, I loved bessy she was so genuine, we hit it off right away. However I had noticed that sal was being a little stand off-ish with me, which worried me because of all of them sal was the closest person to Brian, and if he didn't like me then it could cause problems with Brian and I.

The end of the night was soon arriving and I excuses myself to go to the rest room, it was when I was heading back to the table that sal pulled me aside and asked if he could chat to me for a sec, my stomach flipped, I was so scared of what he was gonna say to me, but I agreed to go speak to
Him so, we stepped out the side of the building and sat in a early bench.
"(YN), I just want to make sure that you're genuinely interested in Q, he may put on a hard front but he's really fragile, he's not the kind of guy that can take another heart break.. I just I need to make sure, before this goes any further that youre serious about you guys." He said, you were kinda taken aback at what he had said and so it took you a while to respond, but you were sure that you only wanted Brian and you already knew that you were in love with him.. You just hadn't told him "listen, Sal, I'm so happy that Brian has friends like you, it's so lovely to see people looking out for him. But I am sure about him and us, I've never been more sure of anything in my life, I know how fragile he can be, but I'd never hurt him, never intentionally. I love him Sal. I haven't told him that cause I don't want to feel like I'm rushing him, but I am 100% in love with Him and it terrifies me, cause this works both ways, I mean he's not the only one that could get hurt, he has all of me and if he left then I'd be in a million pieces" i admitted, tears dripping from my eyes slightly, sal wrapped his arm around your shoulder and pulled you to him "(YN) I'm so glad to hear you say that, I have never seen him this happy in years, if ever. He's been through some shit and it seeing him with you tonight just made it seem like nothing else mattered. I can tell he loves you from the way he looks at you (YN). I can't imagine him ever hurting you." Sal spoke. All you could do was look at him and smile wiping the stray tears from your eyes. "Okay let's go back in before they wonder where we have disappeared to.

"Hey baby, where you been, everything okay?" Brian asked you as you sat back in your seat beside him "yeah babe, just got caught up talking to sal" i said smiling at him "did he upset you?" Brian asked looking into my eyes intently "no, no, quite the contrary, he's a good guy, and he cares about you a lot"  looking to sal then back to Brian "hmm alright baby, you ready to go home?" He asked and you nodded.

After saying your goodbyes to the group you and Brian made your exit and got a can back to his, laying in bed you turned to him "I had fun tonight, your friends are great, I really like them" you said to him. "I'm glad you enjoyed yourself and yeah the guys all love you" you smiled at the thought and snuggled in closer to him letting your eyes flutter closed your breathing matching the beat of his heart as you drifted off to sleep.

"I love you (YN)"

That's the last thing you heard before sleep overtook you.

Sorry guys I'm 100% sure I keep swiping from "I" and "you" in this one. I'll edit later.

Thanks for reading.
