A Troublesome Thanksgiving Turned Terrific ( Rafe Cameron x Reader )

After an unbelievably hectic month of work, for both My boyfriend Rafe and I, we decided to plan a small get away but first we had to survive Thanksgiving. My first Thanksgiving with Rafe's family to be specific. To say I was nervous was putting it mildly, I was terrified. I wanted everything to go wonderfully, I wanted his family to like me (well his parents his sisters already loved me), and I didn't want to fuck anything up. I let out another shaky deep breath, smoothing out my dress one last time before grabbing my keys and locking my apartment behind me. I placed the basket in which I carried homemade pumpkin pie, and my family's recipe stuffing. I glance at Rafe's sweet text for one more shot of confidence and started my car. I pulled into the Cameron Mansion's driveway and flip down the visor mirror doing one last look over. "You've got this y/n" I muttered to myself grabbing the basket of food and climbing the porch steps. I took in another deep breath and knocked. The door was thrown open to reveal none other than my amazing boyfriend Rafe smiling down at me. "Hi Baby." He smiled leaning forward and kissing me then taking the basket containing the two dishes from me. "Rafe thank fuck, m so glad you answered so I could have a moment with you before the big moment." I let out a sigh of relief, and sagged against him for a moment. "My sweet silly, girl, I told you, they're going to love you, just like I do, we've got this." He lightly chuckled hugging me with the arm that wasn't holding the basket and giving us both a peptalk. "I hope so, I just- seeing you first is just the confidence boost I needed that's all." I smiled as he led me inside closing the door behind us. "Showtime." He smiled and nodded jokingly and led me to the living room. A quick subtle glance around revealed it was only Rafe, Rose, Sarah, and Wheezie in the room at the moment. "Y/n! Yay you're here." Wheezie giggled giving me a hug. "Hi Wheezie." I returned her hug and whispered in her ear. Rafe placed his arm across my lower back and spoke up, "Rose this is Y/n, Y/n this is My stepmother Rose." Rafe introduced us. "Hi Y/n nice to meet you." Rose spoke politely extending her hand. "Nice to meet you too Ma'am, thank you for inviting me." I said remembering to use my manners. "Of course Ward and I were just dying to meet the girl that's been making our Rafe so happy." She smiles. "Why thank you, Rafe makes me happy too," I smile shyly. "Well lets all take our seats in the dining room Ward is just finishing up a business call, and once he's done we'll eat." Rose instructed leading us to the dining room. "Hi Sarah." I greet quietly with a quick hug when she passes me to go to the other side of the table. "Y/n! you're doing great so far." She whispers and hugs back then goes to her seat. I take the basket from Rafe and explain that I made homemade pumpkin pie and my family's recipe stuffing and ask Rose where she'd like me to put it. She tells Rafe to put the pie in the kitchen and tells me I can place the stuffing on the table with the other dishes. I continue to help her set the remaining dishes on the table until there's only a few left and she shoo's me from the kitchen claiming she can handle the rest. Ward emerges from his office and into the dining room. He spots me and I can clearly see confusion blooming across his face. "Rafe, where's Rose?" He asks completely ignoring me. "In the kitchen getting the last two dishes sir." Rafe replies. "I'll go help her." Ward says scurrying off to the kitchen. Where I guess they didn't realize how well sound travels from the kitchen to the dining room I could hear him whisper to Rose "Who is that, and why are they at my table?" He asked gruffly. "Darling don't be rude, it's Y/N Rafe's girlfriend, the one he's been head over heels with for weeks now." Rose explained. "Well between you and I he could do better." Ward scoffed. Rafe placed his hand gently on my leg and gave a comforting squeeze causing me to look up at him as he gave me an I'm sorry look. I simply shook my head and reassuringly patted his hand. Ward and Rose brought in the last of the food and took their spots, Rose sitting and Ward still standing. "Sorry for joining so late, everyone, the man on the otherside of that call should consider himself lucky I went ahead with the deal, considering how sloppily he seems to run his business." Ward huffed. No one spoke for a good bit as the food was passed around and dished as we dug in. "Anyways Y/n nice to meet you, glad you could join us." He nodded curtly. "It's my pleasure sir, It's wonderful to meet the ones who raised my smart, adoring, all around amazing man."I smiled sending a subtle wink to Rafe who was biting back a smile. "Oh? so I take it he treats you right then? That's a suprise can't be the same Rafe we know, that's impossible." Ward chuckled. Due to the unexpected nature of that comment I ended up choking on the bite of food I had just taken. I pounded my fist against my chest trying to dislodge the food. "Y/N! Baby!" Rafe exclaimed as he thumped me on the back successfully dislodging the food. I gasped in air then grabbed my water to recompose myself. "Are you alright?" Rose asked as Rafe lightly rubbed my back. "Better now, sorry about that, went down the wrong pipe." I covered up my shock. "Well let's change the subject shall we?" Ward proposed. "Yes, why don't you tell us about your business deal then darling?" Rose suggested. "Yes, so the owner seems barely competent, scatterbrained if you asked me, I'd hate to have to meet his family, but everyone I've talked to assures me he's the best. Let's just hope he doesn't disappoint, we need these repairs done correctly if we're going to sell properties for their highest values." Ward explained. "Which company?" I asked knowing my father is a contractor and works for quite a few real estate companies around here. "Oh um Y/L/N enterprises." Ward replies. "Oh what a small world, that's my father." I said feeling my anger bubbling as well as having to bite back tears. I watched Ward start to make a face, complexion blanching a bit, but catches himself in time to keep it together. "Oh well I'm sure he does great work." Ward spitballs not even acknowledging the previous comments he made regarding my father. "So how do you guys like my stuffing?" I asked trying to yet again change the subject. "It's wonderful." Rose complements, at least she's trying. "I love it." Sarah smiles at me. "Absolutely delicious, babe." Rafe praised. "Best I've ever had." Wheezie gives a thumbs up. "Really I thought it was dry and lacked decent flavor." Ward said. Ok at this point he's not even trying, I think to myself. "That's IT." Rafe slams down his fork sending it clattering against his plate. "It's your first time meeting my wonderful,beautiful, amazing girlfriend. The first girl I actually love and IN THE SPAN OF TWENTY MINUTES you not only insult her, but her family, her father, her father's BUSINESS and her COOKING?!?! One night, I ask for ONE NIGHT, for you to meet the girl that's captured my heart and to hopefully make her feel welcome, and YOU JUST DISRESPECT HER! Me I get, the snide comments and insinuations, against me I get, I could handle, I'm used to it by now. BUT HER, she's been nothing but sweet and polite, even going as far as to bring two dishes, and THIS IS HOW YOU TREAT HER!!" Rafe roared the room falling into complete silence. After a few moments of everyone just staring at each other, I softly spoke up. "Well, Thank you for having me Mr and Mrs. Cameron, the food was lovely, but I think Rafe and I will be leaving now." I said getting up and carrying my dishes to the kitchen, Rafe silently following me doing the same. I waved goodbye to Sarah and Wheezie as we passed back by the dining room to get to the door. Rafe and I got in my car and I pulled out of the driveway and away from the house. "Baby I'm so sorry, I know I've told you how much of an asshole my father is but I honestly did not expect him to act like that, you shouldn't have had to go through that." Rafe apologized grabbing one of my hands and kissing the back of it. "I-It's not y-your f-f-fault ba-by." I sniffled. Rafe sucked in a sharp breath "Aw honey no don't cry, sweet girl please don't cry." He comforted the best he could While I was driving. "I have an idea to turn this day around." I said. "Oh really?" Rafe asked softly. still holding one of my hands stroking it with his thumb. "Yep I just need to make one phone call."  I let out a watery chuckle. "Hey Siri call Aunt Nat." I said activating my hands free. The phone rang and after 4 rings Aunt Nat picked up. "Hello my favorite niece what's up?" She chirped. "Hi Aunt Nat, I'm here with my boyfriend Rafe, we just finished, well kinda finished thanksgiving with his parents... it, well let's just say it didn't go according to plan, what I'd like to know is are you guys open?" I asked refering to one of my favorite activities when I'm upset. You see my Aunt Nat and her husband my Uncle Bucky, are two of the coolest people you could ever meet, they own and run a Rage Room on the main land literally like five minutes from the ferry. I've been planning to take Rafe for ages and it seems like after tonight's fiasco it seemed like the perfect activity to blow off some steam. "Uh yeah we're open, the holidays are like the busiest time of year for us!" She chuckled. "Perfect see ya in 30." I said. "See ya then girly." She ended the call. "So we're going to your Aunt Nat's place of business... what does she run?" Rafe asked curiously. "It's a surprise, and it's her and my Uncle Bucky who run the place. You're gonna love it I promise." I assured him pulling onto the ferry. "And it's on the mainland?" He asked as I put the car in park. "Five minutes from the ferry." I nodded. "Well while we have a few, C'mere." Rafe said softly pulling me over the middle console and into his lap after I had turned off the car. I happily snuggled into him letting out a content sigh. "I really am so sorry sweet girl." Rafe muttered against my forehead still feeling guilty. "Hey I'm sorry too, they insulted you too." I said pulling his chin gently to make him look at me. "Yea but 'm used to it, they should never have said those awful things." Rafe pouted. "It's not your fault baby, hey you know what?" I asked sweetly. "What?" Rafe asked his eyebrow raised. "I love you Rafe Cameron." I said sweetly passionately kisisng him. "I love you too Y/n Y/l/n." Rafe said a smile lighting up his face. We cuddle for a while longer until the Ferry docks on the main land. "Ready?" I ask starting my car back up. "I think so." Rafe joked. I drove the short but familiar route pulling into the spot where I usually park. "Warehouses?" Rafe asked confused. "You'll see c'mon." I said grabbing his hand and pulling him into the lobby. "Hey Aunt Nat! Hi Uncle Bucky!" I greeted when I saw them behind the counter. "Hey girl" Aunt Nat said. "Our Favorite Niece." Uncle Bucky chuckled as they both came from behind the counter and gave me a hug. "Your only niece." I remind with a laugh. "And this is my Boyfriend Rafe." I smiled introducing him. "Hi I'm Natasha but everybody calls me Nat, you can call me Aunt Nat if you want welcome to Against the Machine." Aunt Nat smiled at him giving him a hug as well. "And I'm Bucky, you can call me your uncle too if you want." Uncle Bucky explained shaking Rafe's hand. "Nice to meet you, and Thank you." Rafe said politely. "So kiddo you want the usual?" Bucky asked. "Yep and if you could also tack on 3 golf clubs, two hockey sticks, and a bucket of rocks, that'd be awesome." I said amending my usual routine. "Gotcha so in addition to 2 baseball bats, a bag of baseballs, a sledgehammer, spray paint, and metal poles, we've also got 3 golf clubs, two hockey sticks and a bucket of rocks. Also your protective gear, helmets, goggles, and coveralls." Aunt Nat gathered the items placing them in one of the wagons they use. "I'll put you two in room 8, with a junker, assorted light bulbs, vases, picture frames, and other breakables sound good?" Uncle Bucky asked. "Perfect! Let's do this!" I grinned excitedly at Rafe lightly jumping up and down. "Have you figured it out yet?" I asked Rafe as I led us to our assigned room. "Uh nope and once you asked for those items from your Aunt I'm now even more confused." Rafe admitted. "Ok safety first." I say pausing at the door and handing Rafe his safety wear then donning mine. "Here we go!" I laughed and led him into the room. In the middle sat an old rusty already falling apart, junker car, vases, glasses, various pieces of glass dishware, various sizes of lightbulbs, picture frames, warped and defective mirrors and windows, random concrete and plaster garden statues, and old cracked flower pots placed on various tables throughout the room. I motioned to the wagon of implements. "Choose your weapon." I said jokingly in my best announcer voice. "What are you going with babe?" Rafe asked looking over the selection again. "Oh I'm trying out one of the hockey sticks first." I grinned grabbing one. Rafe finally chose to start with the sledgehammer. "Now what?" He asked. "GO NUTS!" I cheered swinging the hockey stick to my left and demolishing one of the windows on the car. "It's A rage room, go ahead destroy anything you like, let out all your anger! It feels so good!" I explained then let out my equivalent to a battle cry flinging a light bulb against the wall watching it shatter into pieces. "HELL FUCKING YES!!" Rafe cheered swinging the sledgehammer and bringing it down full force onto the hood of the junker, leaving a satisfying dent. He went around the room, smashing, bashing and crashing, having the time of his life. "ATTA BOY, NOW YOU'VE GOT IT! THAT'S MY MAN!!!!" I laughed grabbing two of the cans of spray paint and graffiting the wall. "Wait you can Graffiti too?" Rafe asked excitedly. "Absolutely! Go for it babe." I said pointing at the bin of assorted spray paint. "THIS IS AWESOME!!!" He chuckled. I walked over to the protected phone box and connected my phone to the wired in bluetooth sound system and played my rock and roll, get out of my head, let loose playlist music filling the room. "Oh SHIT that's good!" Rafe said finishing up his spray paint as I grabbed a bat and headed for a table in the corner lined with a few breakables, absolutely demolishing them in a single blow. "WOOO HOOO!!" I cheered. "THAT'S MY LITTLE BADASS GO Y/N!!!! MY GIRLL!!!" Rafe Cheered. After a few more minutes of smashing and crashing Rafe paused for a breath, "Ooohhh I get it now, Against the machine, as in Rage Against the Machine, your Aunt and Uncle are clever." He realized. "Totally, it's like the perfect name." I panted taking a swig of water then offering some to Rafe who greedily gulped some down. We continued like that for at least two more hours, just letting it all go, getting all our anger and frustrations, out, getting in touch with our inner primal side, just going absolute ape shit, laughing, cheering, whooping, and hollering leaving no object in the room untouched. Once we were done, had cleaned up and had returned the safety wear and implements, we said goodnight and thank you to My Aunt Nat and Uncle Bucky, after I secretly paid the friends and family rates bill, behind Rafe's back, He needed this more than I did and My Aunt and Uncle give me and my friends an exclusive super duper low rate anyways, but it's still a business after all. We flopped into my car exhausted but emotionally content. "That was SO MUCH FUN!!" Rafe cheered. "Thank you Thank you Thank you babe!" Rafe laughed kissing me all over my face. "You're welcome I'm so glad you enjoyed it, we or you can come here anytime they're open 24/7 pretty much, just Aunt Nat and Uncle Bucky aren't there all the time, but all the employees know me and If I'm not with you, all you gotta do is tell them you're my boyfriend, and they'll get you set up." I explained as we drove back to the ferry. "Now important question, more like begging, will you please come to my house with me, I just want to cuddle, but I just want to be with you, and definitely think you still need to cool off some before you go home, with the possibility of them showing up, please babe." I begged sticking my lower lip out in a pout and giving him my best puppy dog eyes. "Aww Baby, no need to beg sweet girl, if you hadn't offered I was going to ask if I could, I just want to be with you too, and I have no desire to go back to my place or see my parents anytime soon, I just want to be with you my sweet girl." Rafe smiled sweetly at me. "Yay! I'm so Ha----ppy." I said interupted momentarily by a yawn. "Oh are you tired baby?" Rafe asked partly concerned partly in awe. "Exhausted actually, I just want to cuddle up in your arms and get some sleep." I admitted my cheeks going slighlty red. "Aww me too Baby, me too." Rafe agreed.
