Alex Dunphy x Fem!Reader - "I'm not gay!"

Chapter 2 - Friend's House?

D/N - Dad's Name
L/N - Last Name

The classes were nothing special, just the same boring old classes you'd find anywhere in the world, but you did get to sit with Alex since she usually sat on her own, which certainly made things a hell of a lot better. You went home, happy you'd made an amazing new friend, but you couldn't shake the feeling that what she made you feel wasn't just platonic. You shook it off as new day jitters..

~ A few months later ~ 


The last  bell rang, signalling it was the end of the day. You grabbed your backpack, and as you were about to walk out the class, Alex grabbed your hand, almost causing you to trip, but she didn't let go.

"Uhm, sorry." She apologised, looking down awkwardly.
"I-It's fine, how come you grabbed my hand though?" You chuckled softly and questioned.
"Uhhh.. It gets super crowded out there and I don't wanna lose you! That's it!" She exclaimed.
"Okayyy, let's go before it gets dark." You didn't really believe her, but couldn't be bothered to question it.

Once you were past the stairs as the front of the school, you checked your phone to see that your Dad had texted you,

"Hey kiddo, I'm working late tonight so I asked my friends wife to pick you up, their kids go to this school.

She's called Claire Dunphy, drives a big, black family carrier kinda thing. You'll be having dinner at theirs, I'll pick you up whenever I get off work." - Sent 14:23

 "Love ya xx" - Sent 14:24

You sighed loudly, and shook your head, your dad tended to do this. Alex stopped walking and turned to you, a confused look plastered on her face. 

"Something up?" She asked, a little worried.
"Gotta find some lady called Claire Dunphy. My dad's working late so I'm stuck with them till he clocks off, whenever that is." You complained.
"O-Oh, well, my mom's name is Claire Dunphy, so.." She admitted, smiling softly at you.
"Wait, seriously?" You questioned, not taking her seriously.
"Yeah. Guess you're stuck with me for a while." She reassured you and joked.
"Oh hell yeah! I thought I'd be stuck with a bunch-a weirdos all evening! How come you never told me your last name sooner?" You grinned brightly and enveloped Alex in a hug. Her face went a bright red, not that you could see it.
"I didn't think it was important.." She muttered, burying her face in your shoulder.

"See mom, I told you Alex was a lesbian!" Some girl, presumably Alex's sister, rolled down the window and shouted.
"I am not a lesbian Haley! S-Shut up!" Alex pulled apart from the hug, but held onto your hand, and retorted.
"Haley, leave your sister alone. She'll find that one out in her own time." Claire scolded Haley, and muttered, but loud enough that you and Alex could hear her.
"Mom!" Alex groaned.
"I'm kidding, I'm kidding. But really, who's that girl you're holding hands with?" Claire pointed to you.
"I'm Y/N L/N, are you Claire Dunphy?" You introduced yourself, Alex letting go of your hand.
"Yup, I take it you're D/N's daughter?" Claire asked, already knowing the answer.
You nodded.
"Well are you two gonna get in the car or am I gonna have to get arrested by the parking lady again?" Claire made what you assumed to be a joke, but nobody else seemed to laugh.
"Uhh what?" You asked, hoping it really was a joke.
"It's better you don't ask." Alex sighed, and opened the car door for you.
