les sequelles - Eric Coulter 1

143. Meeting The Parents

Imagine: Eric meeting your parents for the first time and they have some strong opinions on him.

*************************************

      You were pacing back and forth in the living room of your apartment, adjusting the hem of the black dress you were wearing, feeling nervous. You were in a more conservative get-up than usual, because there was a meeting between the factions' leaders, meaning you'd be seeing your parents. The problem was, it was the first time your parents were going to meet your boyfriend, Eric.

You were an ex-Candor, so you knew your parents were going to be very open with their opinions.

Eric came out in a fitted black button-up shirt with the sleeves rolled up, tucked into black jeans, "Y/N, quit worrying so much, it's going to be fine."

You were sitting next to Eric during the meeting, and your parents were across the table from the two of you.

You could tell they were already formulating their opinions on Eric. They weren't very happy when you transferred, they disapproved of your choice, 'anything other than Dauntless' they had told you, and now they were clearly judging Eric too.

After the meeting, they approached you. You mom poked your Dauntless-hardened abs, "Look at you Y/N."

"Hi mom, hi dad," You smile awkwardly, there was clearly tension hanging in the air.

"You're really looking like a Dauntless aren't you," Your dad says, "And you're definitely hanging around Dauntless."

His voice holds a tone of slight disgusted and you can tell he's talking about Eric. You stand in silence for a short moment before saying, "This is my boyfriend, Eric."

"This is your boyfriend?" You mom says, "Not what I expected from you darling, all those tattoos and piercings are a bit... much, don't you think?"

You give Eric an apologetic glance, "Actually, I love them mom, and I love him."

"Well, whatever you say sweetie."

The night goes on and Eric starts growing on your parents, and by the time you decide to call it a night, your parents actually start accepting him.

"Good night darling," Your mom says pulling you in for a hug and she does the same to Eric, "Good night son."

You dad mimics her actions and Eric leads you out of the compound, "So they like me?"

"I guess so."

"Good," He smiles, pulling you in for a kiss, "I love you Y/N."

"I love you too Eric."
