Wrong things (Matthew x reader)

Chapter 8: Meeting the parents

Everything moved smoothly now, the days felt normal again. You and Matthew spent the majority of your days together, working at the company, cooking dinner, going to sleep, there were few days you two were apart.

Despite this, you never felt too much annoyance or anger towards Matthew. Eventually you even took him to meet your mom and dad.

You thought it was adorable how panicked Matthew seemed. "Are you sure they'll like me? Should I have worn something more um, fancy?"

"Matthew, calm down." You giggled. "I think they'd be concerned if my boyfriend showed up in a suit or something."

"Really? My mother would expect no less than a really expensive dress, though I never plan on you meeting my parents." He chuckled. "They aren't the kindest souls."

"I've heard stories, but I feel like your mother would be nice, like you are." You smiled.

"Mm.." he looked a little trailed off. "I think it would take a second for her to get around to the idea of me dating a human, she'd probably originally assume you are for energy and not a serious thing, I wouldn't trust either of them to be alone in a room with you."

".....Well, that's okay, you can just meet my parents, if you don't want me to meet yours that's fine." You smiled. "I'd like to think that maybe somewhere in their minds they'd approve of me."

"I would too." Matthew smiled gently. He parked the car in front of your parents house and quickly walked around to help you out of the car and give you one more kiss before heading into your parents home. He got flowers out of the back of the car which made you laugh.

"You didn't need to Matthew!" You said.

"I know, you say that a lot, but I still wanted to." Matthew said holding your hand. You walked up to the door and opened it.

"Y/n, this isn't your house anymore, you nearly gave me a heart attack just opening the door like that." Your dad chuckled.

"Oh you knew I was on the way, you'll be fine." You said hugging him.

"Oh! Are they here?" Your mom came rushing around the corner and nearly fell making you laugh a little.

"Still clumsy." You giggled.

"As if you aren't." Matthew said poking you in the back with the flowers.

"Shhh." You pouted taking the flowers and handing them to your mom.

"You must be Matthew." Your dad smiled.

"Yes." He grinned awkwardly shaking your dad's hand.

"Forgive him, I tried to make him less anxious and it didn't work." You laughed.

"I can see." Your dad laughed.

"Aw what a cute kid, you two match perfectly." Your mom grinned.

"Mom!" You said slightly embarrassed.

"Thank you, Mrs. l/n." Matthew smiled gently.

"So you're the one who's helping run the company correct? Or is that a different matthew?" He asked.
