Caspian's pov

"Mom, this is ehm, Dion. My boyfriend."

I get to the most embarrassing part in the relationship.

Introducing your partner to your parents.

It simply doesn't matter how respectful or kind your parents are, it will always be awkward.

It's ...I guess it's a rule.

I always wonder what goes through their mind.

Oh, so he really is gay.

Hm. Him boyfriend is kind of out of his ligue.

Or worse. Ew, he could have done better. Does he even have money?

Even worse. The worst. Your parents knowing or expecting you have sex.

No!

Shit. This is awkward.

"Aw, nice to meet you Dion. I'm Tris.

You know, I've heard about you but you look so handsome in person."

"Mom. Seriously not necessary. Look there's Asa."

I point to them behind us.

Asa brought Reggie with him.

I'm so glad they talked the 'issue' out and understand each other now.

I feel so bad for calling him a whore. I shouldn't have.

I thought he was just recklessly sleeping around.

As his step brother, I was worried.

About his life style and health too.

Also, I was jealous. Of course I was.

I slept with four men. Well, five now but it was only four before.

They weren't the best. My relationships were sort of in the middle.

It's ...i mean siblings get jealous. Friends do too.

I wouldn't have guessed he's asexual.

I barely knew what it means.

But I get his reaction. I mean, I would probably do the same. Try it with people to find out why it ... Feels different.

I mean, of course I don't know how he feels.

I think about sex all the time. Even now.

Dion is just. I would jump on him if not for my mom.

But I try to imagine it in my head. It must have been super confusing.

I hope he tells Bastian too. Yes, i pity him for the explanation.

But ...mom and Bastian also think he sleeps around. They shouldn't have the wrong imagine.

No matter how awkward it is. He doesn't deserve that.

"Oh, Asa." She goes to hug him. "Wow, you are all so handsome."

"Mom." I shake my head.

"It's true. What? You are not minors.

Or are you?"

"No."

"Then I can say it. What about it? It's only a compliment." I think mom watches too much tv.

"And you must their friends."

"Ira is my uncle."Dion smile.

"Uncle? But ...you are so young."

"I'm thirty four. Yeah." Ira smiles with dimples, "I'm the youngest of the siblings.

This is Orson. Well, my boyfriend but ehm, also everyone's friend and Caspian's neighbor."

"Yes. The neighbor.

Wow. So you are all taken."

"And all queer." Bastian adds.

"Bas." Mom pouts.

"It was a compliment. We have the gay flag in our living room."

Okay. Bastian pulls up with the LGBT 🏳️‍🌈.

"Yes. That's true. We do.

I also want to buy this shirt for pride month.

It says. Eat. Sleep. Pride. Repeat.

I think it will be cute.

And then Bas will have: no hate in my state." He giggles.

I blink. "Great, mom."

Dion gives me a look.

"I think it will be amazing. We will stop by for pride month."

Oh. So he's already planning the future.

"You will? Oh my. Then we have to bake rainbow cup cakes.

That will be so perfect. You are such cute couples.

Dion, what about your parents? Don't they want to come visit us too.

I would love to friends them."

"Of course. I'll let them know."

Dion's parents.

"Great. Well, let's get to the table. And then you can have a walk around the city.

There is also some small concert on the square in the evening.

We should come.

Will you sleep over? I have a guest room and then ...well.

We will squeeze you in. Don't worry."

Luckily. It wasn't as horrible as I thought.

Everyone was trying to be polite.

And mom was blown away from the fact that everyone's in a relationship and she has so many ...men ... In her house at the same time.

Over all. I enjoyed it. I finally had a feeling like I'm going right with my relationship.

"You know that after our moms meet, they will already plan out the wedding. " He says to me.

"Well, you always talk about how you'll put a ring on me"

"And I will."

"Dion." I blush.

"You will be Gray - Wilson one day. I told you and I make promises. "

"Don't make promises you can't keep."

"Sue me, if I don't keep it." He looks down to my lips and kisses me.

"I will." I tease him and we make out.
