"Oh Roggie!" Roger's mother, Winifred, gave him a bone crushing hug. I could practically hear the air imside of him wheeze out.
"Good to seen you son." Roger's dad, Michael, gave Roger a half hug before their attention was turned to me.
"And you are..." Micheal trailed off.
"I'm Brian. It's a pleasure to meet you both." I shook both of their hands.
"Oh Rog... I knew you'd snag up a handsome boy. Look at him Micheal!" Winifred cheerfully says.
"Oh, I'm looking." Micheal chuckles.
"Come sit down, sit down." Winifred led us to the kitchen table where food was already set out.
"Don't worry, I told them you were vegetarian." Roger whispers before holding my hand. I can immediatly feel my face grow hot. "Calm down Bri, it's just for my parents."
"So Brian, where do you work?" Michael asks as he starts digging into his full plate.
God, I hate this question. People always assume I'll have a crazy interesting job since I went to school for astrophysics.
"I... I work at a movie theater. I'm looking for a more permanent job, but I just graduated." I explain.
"That's lovely." Winifred says with a kind smile. That was not the reaction I was expecting.
"What did you study?" Michael asks.
"Astrophysics." I mutter.
I also hate mentioning that I studied astrophysics. They always ask me about the stars, or how big space is, or how I got into a feild like that. I hate answering stupid questions.
"Wonderful! Roger wasn't wrong when he said you were smart." Micheal chuckles.
"Dad..." Roger mutters and turns light pink. He's pretty good at acting like we're a couple. He places a hand on my thigh... But... His parents can't see my legs.
I don't have much time to think about it before someone else starts talking.
"Where did you guys meet?" Winifred asks.
Fuck. I knew we should have prepared a back story before we got here. But, Roger was more interested in picking a pair of shoes that matches his shirt best.
"Uh..." I trail off.
"I met Bri at his job. I was going to see a movie and he caught my eye. I guess I caught his too." Rooger giggles.
"That is just adorable." Winifred coos.
Silence, my foot tapped nervously against the wood floors. There obviously wasn't much more to ask about. They probably just wanted to know if I'm a good influence on Roger.
"Well... We have a small suprise." Winifred whispers.
"The family found a wonderful condo to rent out for the next couple weeks. Would you two like to come? It's not that far from here, and we're leaving tomorrow. So, you better make up your mind." Micheal explains.
"Oh..." Roger sighs, "By family, do you mean you two and my grandparents?"
"No, your grandparents, cousins, nieces, nephews, aunts, and uncles." Winifred smiles.
"We'll talk about that in private later." I say with a kind smile.
We are beyond fucked.
