"Don't be nervous, everything is going to be fine." Mike held [name]'s hand as they stood outside of Mike's house.

"I'm not nervous." [name] shook his head but his voice wavered, indicating he was lying. "I'm only meeting your family for the first time. No big deal."

"Exactly. It's not a big deal. If they don't like you, fuck 'em."

"You don't think they'll like me?" [name] widened his eyes.

"No! I know they will... but if they don't it doesn't matter, because I'll love you no matter what." Mike lifted his hand and put some of [name]'s shaggy hair behind his ear.

[name] nodded his head and let out a deep breath. "Thanks, Mikey."

The front door suddenly opened and [name] whipped his head to the side to see it you Mike's sister. He could recognise her from the photos Mike had shown him.

"Mike. Who's this?" Aria questioned, her mouth pursing tightly.

"I told you I was bringing my boyfriend, remember?" Mike grabbed [name]'s hand and pulled him inside. Once they were in Aria shut the door and turned around, looking [name] up and down judgementally. Mike didn't notice but [name] sure did and he felt his heart speed up with nerves.

Her eyes danced over his bare arms and legs, the tattoos he had standing out. Then she looked at his face and the piercing. "This is your boyfriend?"

"Yeah, why did you say it like that?" Mike slightly narrowed his eyes at her.

"Uh, no reason." She cleared her throat. "Mum and dad are out getting dinner. They, uh, shouldn't be too long."

"Cool. Well, Aria this is [name], my boyfriend, and [name], this is Aria, my sister. Now you've been introduced." Mike smiled.

"Hi." [name] lifted his hand in a small wave. "It's nice to meet you." Aria only hummed and crossed her arms.

They went into the living room to wait for their parents, sitting down on the couch. There was a silence for a few moments.

"So, [name]... what's the story with the, um..." She gestured around her arm area, indicating the tattoos.

"Oh." He lifted his arms with a small smile, always loving to tell the story about his tattoos since they all had meanings. "So this one - "

"Actually, Mike, could I talk to you for a second?" Aria stood up.

"What for?" Mike raised his eyebrows.

"Just about... something." She laughed nervously. "Meet me in the kitchen." She turned and walked away, not giving him a chance to answer.

Mike rolled his eyes and stood up. "I'll be right back." He kissed the top of [name]'s head before going into the kitchen. "What's wrong with you? Why are you being so weird?"

"Look, I know you've been going through some rebellious phase but do you really think bringing someone like that home is a good idea?"

"Excuse me?" He gritted his teeth.

"Come on, Mike. It's clear you're only with him to get a rise out of me, mum and dad." Aria said and crossed his arms. "But the jokes over."

"You're a piece of work, you know that?" Mike snapped at her. "Me being with him has nothing to do with any of you."

"Really?" She said sarcastically. "You've never been with someone like that before and now suddenly he's your type?"

"You don't know my type." Mike said. "I've only been with a handful of people."

"Okay, well I can tell you he isn't it." Aria said. "Look, you're trying to get back on the right path, that's what you told us. This guy is only going to stop you and bring you down again. Does he even go to school? Because I've never seen him."

"I go to school a town over." [name] spoke up from the doorway. "Sorry for interrupting but I could hear you from out there." He pursed his lips. "I also get straight A's, me and Mike met through my tutoring him."

"That's why my grades have gone up." Mike added.

"Just because I look like this on the outside doesn't mean you can judge me for it." [name] shook his head. "I'm a good guy and if you have me a chance you would know that."

Aria looked down, feeling bad she had upset him. "I just want to make sure my little brother is okay."

"He is." [name] said and Mike walked over to him, grabbing onto his hand and smiling at him. "Now, do you actually want to get to know me?"

She sighed before nodding her head. "Yes, I do. I'm sorry. Tell me everything about you."
