----------------
You had it all planned out. Both of your parents would be home by 6:00. You changed into some casual attire for the occasion. Not too fancy just something better then what you usually wore at this time. Dinner would be ready when they walked through the door. Just the table needing to be set. Eddie would walk in at 6:15 on the dot. Not a minute later, not a minute sooner he assured you.
Your plan was fool proof everything was perfect. The food was prepared, the four plates laid out on the tablecloth each one complimented with silverware on the side, your parents sat across from the two empty chairs where you and Eddie would be sitting. You looked at the clock as it struck 6:15 on the dot. The doorbell rang thought the house. This just couldn't go wrong.
...Of course until it did.
You went to open the door. Looking over your shoulder at the duo on your way.
"He really is a great guy. You'll love him," you stated smiling at them. You put a hand on the knob turning and pulling the door open to reveal a bouquet of flowers. Eddie's head popped out from behind it. A smile adorning his features.
"Hi," he greeted in a soft voice stepping into the house as you motioned for him to come in.
"Make sure you take off your shoes, Mom hates dirt in the house," you explained briefly, looking around the corner to see your parents. Who were waiting patiently to meet the guy of the hour. You held a finger up signaling that it would be just a moment. Turning back to Eddie you took in his attire. He was in a pair of blue jeans, ditching his usual chains, his chest was clad in a dark green button up, his hands ring less. You frowned slightly, "You didn't have to get all dolled up. I want them to meet you, not someone who you're portraying," you told him in a quite tone. He gave you another smile, reassuring you.
"They'll meet me, honey. Don't worry 'bout it," his voice was just as soft as before. He placed a light kiss to your temple before stepping out to reveal himself. A light gasp was heard from the otherwise silent room. Your mother's eyes were wide as she tried to bring herself to smile. Your father on the other hand not making the effort, his brows scrunching together. You nervously fidgeted with your hands. Deciding to break the awkward silence.
"This is Eddie." It was a simple statement, but enough to get rid of some tension. Eddie waved uneasily with a hand, the other holding out the flowers to your mother as he approached the table. She took a moment to responded. Finally deciding to stand and take the flowers with a polite thank you. She went to the kitchen to find a vase as you sat down. Motioning for Eddie to follow. Hesitantly he sat across from your father. He held out a hand to the man.
"Nice to meet you, sir. I've heard a lot about you."
"Wish I could say the same," your father told him, briefly shaking Eddie's hand before bringing it back to his side. You're mother entered back into the room.
"Now that's not true, hon. We've heard a whole bunch about you, Eddie. Y/n says that your still in school, is that right?" The man in question nodded as she sat down.
"Yes, I haven't been able to really find my way out of high school yet. This year will be different though. Y/n has been helping me study and keep my head above water so I'll for sure graduate."
"Did you say that last year too?" your dad muttered while taking a drink from his cup. Your jaw dropped.
"Dad!" you exclaimed at his audacity. He shrugged his shoulders.
"What? I'm just saying, when you said his name was Eddie and he was still in school, I didn't know you meant Eddie Munson. The guy who has failed to pass twice," he stated simply.
"Still you don't have to be rude about," you informed him. "You didn't graduate senior year your first time either."
"Yeah well It didn't take me three tries either."
"No, it's okay I get it," Eddie stated before you got a chance to respond, "You want a guy that's in the best shape for your daughter I get that. And let me just say I'm in the best shape that I've been for a while, Y/n's helped me a lot with that-"
"So your best shape includes being unemployed and as you said 'holding yourself just above water,' that's the best shape your in?" your dad asked. His tone sharp and his face hard. It was your mother's turn to react, slapping your father's arm lightly at his comment. He looked at her. "I don't know about you, but I sure as hell wasn't expecting the town's Satanist to show up for dinner tonight and I'm not going to stand for it."
"Can you please just calm down for a minute. The poor boy hasn't even let out five sentences-"
"Poor is right. Living in his uncle's trailer and doing who knows what in there. I went to school with Wayne and no way am I having any child he looked after seeing my daughter-" Eddie stood up quickly, heading for the door without a word. You followed after him as he to went to put on his boots, stumbling in the process. You protested, saying he should just wait, that you'll talk to your dad and that he just was shocked Eddie was the one you were seeing. He wasn't like any of your past boyfriends. Eddie looked up at you with a pained smile.
"You're right I'm not, so maybe that a sign. Maybe I shouldn't be your boyfriend, Y/n. I'm sure your dad would be happy with that." Your jaw went slack as tears glazed over your eyes.
"Wait, hold on, you don't- you don't mean that," you called to him as he opened the door and made his exit. "Eddie, please." Your voice shook, he stopped in his place, already halfway down your side walk. "Give me a few minutes. I'll talk to them I swear. Just please- please don't leave, okay?" He turned to face you. Looking into your eyes as you bit your lip. He sighed, closing his eyes tight for a brief moment.
"Honey, I don't think they'll listen," you made your way to him, barefoot tripping down the steps.
"No, they will I swear. They haven't even properly met you-"
"And what happens when they do?" He questioned. You paused. "What happens when they do and find out I'm everything they were told I'd be?"
"And what happens when they find out that that's everything I want?" you shot back. "That I fell for the 20 year old high school senior. Who likes bedroom concerts, and movie marathons, and walks in the middle of the night across town. What happens when they realize you're the only guy who has treated me right and the best thing to have ever happened to me." Your voice broke towards the end. Looking into his eyes, they were matching yours, glazed over as tears threatened to fall. You took another step toward him, placing your arms on his shoulders. "I'll tell you what happens," you stated, taking a hand to wipe your eyes as you sniffed.
"What?" Eddie questioned, hesitantly resting his hands on your waist. You brought your eyes back to his, moving impossibly closer.
"It won't matter," you cupped his face, " Because what are they gonna do? Tell me to break up with you? Yeah, right. I'm 20 years old watch me move out, then they'll shut up," Eddie let out a breathy chuckled. "It doesn't matter because once I show them how you look at me like I hung all the stars in the sky then they'll see what I see." You traced his cheek bone with your thumb while your other hand lightly caressed his neck. His own running along your sides. "And even then if they don't agree, it's okay. Cause fuck em y'know. That's what you always say." Eddie let out a snort.
"Fuck 'em, really? That's what you're gonna say to your parent as an excuse?" he laughed. You shrugged admiring his smile.
"Why not? Like I said, I could just move out. I got enough cash. I could buy us a place, sugar mommy you-" That got a cackle out of him.
"Sugar mommy? Oh Lord, where the hell did that come from? What happened to the little innocent Y/n that I met?"
"She was gone a long time ago. I'm just saying," you defended weakly, "We've been together for almost a year and a half now. I think that's enough to know I wouldn't mind living with you," you stated. A comfortable silence passed over the both of you. Looking over the each others features, taking one another in.
"Okay," Eddie finally spoke. You smiled.
"Okay?"
"Now that you bring it up a year and a half without together and I'm just meeting your parents now? Sheesh, but he worst that could happen is they kick you out-"
"'Yeah, that's like the worst thing,'" you mimicked, causing Eddie to weakly push you away.
"I'm just putting up what you were laying down!" He exclaimed. "You're a big girl, you can take care of yourself," he mumbled pulling you back in, staring at your lips. You smiled once more.
"If this is an indirect way of asking if I can be your sugar mommy the answer is yes," you whispered against his lips. He let out an airy laugh before finally connecting your lips to his. Dipping you slightly, your back arching to deepen the kiss. This was all he had to worry about right now. You were all the he had to think about. It wouldn't matter what their end decision was.
As long as you stuck with him whatever happens would be okay.
