Meet the family

He had been spending time with Vanille for quite a while now and their visits together had only gotten more frequent as time went on. He had never had anyone he could call a friend outside of his sister before now and very quickly Vanille had become an important part of his day. She got him up and eager to do things again, gave him something to care about, and took his mind off of himself for a while. He knew he wanted to introduce her to his family eventually, but he didn’t want to rush it. Part of him was just nervous about how his mother and sister would react to her or what they would think. He didn’t think they would cause any problems for someone that meant so much to him, but on the off chase that they didn’t get along he wasn’t sure what he would do.

He and Vanille had discussed finally meeting his family the last time they spent time together so when he heard her call at the border this time he knew he would finally have to face it. He went out to greet her first with his usual grin, hiding the bit of nerves that fluttered in his belly. It was the first time he had ever brought anyone home to meet his family and he hadn’t directly talked to his mother or sister about Vanille yet so he didn’t think they would really even have any assumptions or opinions to go off of. He supposed all they would really know was that he was leaving a lot more frequently than he once had to hang out with someone. "They’re going to love you,” he assured her with another grin as he came to sit beside her before he called for his family, waiting patiently for his mother and Tira to appear.
