Zak/Skeppy POV
After work, I wanted to just go home and talk to Darryl, but my parents had called earlier to ask if we could have a family dinner.
Both me and my sister, Samira, have long since moved out of the house, but we still live nearby and have a pretty good relationship with our parents.
We usually have dinner together 2 or 3 times a month, and I always enjoy it, but now that I've been getting to know my crush, I just want to talk to him all the time.
Still, that wouldn't be a good excuse, and I start to head over around 5:00.
When I arrive at my parents place, Sam is already there, and she greets me with a smile and a hug.
"Hi, Zak! How have you been?"
I hug her back, "Mostly normal, how about you?"
We both walk to the living room, and I can hear my mom in the kitchen. Judging by the smell wafting through the house, she seems to be making some sort of Italian dish.
I tell my sister I'll be right back, and go to greet my mother.
"Hi, mom. Dinner smells good."
She looks over and smiles at me. "Oh, hi sweetheart. I didn't hear you come in!" She wipes her hands on a towel and comes to give me a hug.
"Where's dad?" I ask as I pull away.
"Your father is just at the store grabbing some things, he should be home shortly. Your sister was about to watch a movie, why don't you join her."
"Alright." I go back into the living room to see Sam has already set up the movie, so I settle onto the couch.
◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇
When the movie finishes, I check my phone to see a lot of messages from Darryl.
Badboy <3

Hello?
Why are you ignoring me?
Did I do something wrong?
Oh my goodness, check your phone you muffinhead!

Finally!
Aww you can't? :'(
Ok we can call tonight. Have fun with your family!
I smile at how sweet he is.
"Oooo who are you texting that's got you smiling like that?" Sam makes a grab for my phone, but I manage to turn it off, locking it.
Just then, my mom calls us for dinner, and I take the opportunity to run to the table.
My dad pulls both me and my sister into a quick hug before we sit down. A dish of lasagna is set in the center of the table, and we each dish up a slice onto our plate.
"So," My dad starts, "What's new with you guys?"
"Zak has a girlfriend." Sam says casually.
I almost choke on my food. I can feel my face going bright red, and look down at my plate.
"Really? Is that true, Zak?" My mom asks.
I'm blushing so much at this point, I must look like a tomato. "N-no. I don't know where Sam got that idea."
Both parents can see my face, and neither seems to believe me.
◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇
Sam starts up a conversation with my parents, but I'm not really listening. For the rest of dinner, I stay mostly quiet for the rest of dinner, and when we finish eating, I excuse myself upstairs.
Sure I don't live here anymore, but my parents have left my old bedroom the same as when I was a kid, and I still go in there sometimes during gatherings like today.
I flop onto my bed and text Darryl.
You
Heyyy badboy canbj yoiu dop aa casll nowq?
I have to wait almost five minutes for a reply, and I start to worry he doesn't want to talk. Finally, after what seems like forever, I get an answer.
Badboy <3
Sure, one sec!
I click the call button, and within a few seconds, he connects to the call.
"Hi Zak! Whatcha doing?" His voice comes in, and I smile.
"Just hanging out. I'm at my parent's house right now, but we just finished dinner."
"Wait, you're at your parents? Oh my goodness, we can call later! Go talk to them!"
"It's fine, they're talking to my sister right now." I say softly. "I just want to hear your voice."
"Aww, ok. I'll talk to you, but only for a little bit. Then you have to go back to your parents."
"Deal."
We talk for a while, just making dumb jokes and giggling with each other. We talk about how excited we are for ice skating, and just talk about life.
A little over an hour later, I see the time and realize I have to get home soon. Sadly, I disconnect my call with Darryl, promising to call him back as soon as I get home.
I ask if we can do a video sleep call tonight, and he agrees, which makes me smile.
My parents wave me goodbye, saying they can't wait to see me again. My sister will be staying a bit longer, and I give her an awkward hug.
A few minutes later, I'm on the road, driving home, excited to see my crushes face, and fall asleep to his voice once again.
