"Babe!" Xavier groans as you attempt to drag him out of his dorm. Parents weekend is today, and your parents and brother will be here any minute. By now, you'd predicted wednesday is already waiting at the quad with Enid. "Baby, what if your parents don't like me?"

You stop dead in your tracks in disbelief. You slowly turn to face your boyfriend with eyes wider than saucepans. "How could you say that?"

"Well, Wednesday already despises me. About damn time your parents do too" Xavier shrugs. "No thorpe goes with an Addams, you know that"

"So what? You're saying we won't do well together because of some stupid family tradition?" you scoff. You've always been the first to scoff at tradition, excluding the Addams family values, of course. Because of that, your nickname had always been Scoffy Addams. As much as you wish it'd disappear, you can't lie to yourself that that name had grown on you, and you'd grown to embrace it. Alas, it was uncle fester that had given it to you.

"I'm just saying!" Xavier chuckles. "Your parents are Gomez and Morticia Addams. Your sister's Wednesday Addams. It's quite overwhelming for me"

"You forgot Pugsley" you joke. "Listen, xav, you have absolutely nothing to worry about. As scary as my parents may be, they are absolute sweethearts. I talk to them about you on my crystal ball every week. They already love you"

That helped release the tension Xavier had been carrying on his shoulders, but just a tiny bit. It also helped him gain more confidence in himself to meet your parents for the very first time. "Really?" Xavier raises an eyebrow. "What'd you tell 'em?"

"Oh, just... what a phenomenal painter and an even phenomenal boyfriend you are" you shut the front door to Xavier's dorm and walk with him down the stairs.

"I thought you'd tell them I'm a horrific painter or some shit" Xavier quips.

"I'm not Wednesday. I think you're phenomenal. Literally" you compliment. Xavier's cheeks gush red as you step foot into the quad, skimming your eyes through the crowd, looking for your parents, or even Wednesday.

"Hey, y/n!" Bianca Barclay approaches you, smiling. As hateful as bianca can be towards your sister, she still finds you tolerable, same goes for you as well. "Looking for your parents? They're on the opposite side of the fountain"

"Thanks, Bianca" you grin, before walking with Xavier, slowly approaching Gomez and Morticia.

Your father gasps at the sight of you as you let go of your grip on Xavier's arm. "There you are, my little puke pie! Oh, I missed you so much!" your dad pulls you in for a kiss on the cheek. You'd always loved your dad's kisses. Pugsley grins and pulls you in for a hug immediately after.

"I missed you too, pugs. Hi, mom" you smile at the dark haired woman, who had a proud smile on her face as she sends air kisses a few feet away from you, as she normally does.

"Hello, scoffy," Morticia beams. "I hope you've been enjoying Nevermore. Have you been checking on your little sister since she enrolled?"

"Of course, mother" you nod. "Anyways, I'd love for you to meet my boyfriend, Xavier" you gently shove Xavier forward towards your parents.

"Is this the boy we're convincing on making an official Addams?" Morticia simpers. "Hello, dear boy"

"Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Addams," xavier smiles, nodding at them. You introduce him to Pugsley as well. "Hey, Pugsley" your little brother waves shyly at xavier.

"Xavier Addams, huh?" you nudge at xavier's ribs playfully.

"Well, anything's better than Thorpe" he shrugs.

"Ooh, ooh! What if it's the opposite?" Gomez laughs. "What if—"

"Scoffy takes Xavier's last name" Morticia finishes Gomez's sentence. Gomez nods excitedly.

"Y/n Thorpe?" I chuckle. Xavier shrugs his shoulders again, a wide grin on his face.

"Addams-Thorpe," Gomez adds. "Scoffy Addams-Thorpe. Or Scoffy Thorpe-Addams. Whatever works for you, my little stink bug"

"That would be horrific and make me want to slice my ears off" Wednesday's blank voice joins the conversation. "Hello, mother. Father. Pugsley. Scoffy. Xavier." Wednesday's voice dropped ten times colder when she greeted Xavier.

"Wednesday" Xavier reciprocates.

"I suggest Scoffy doesn't take the Thorpe name at all. A woman should always make a name for herself, not take somebody else's" Wednesday lectures, before staring into your soul. "Good on you that mother and father have already made you a name"

You groan before muttering to Xavier under your breath. "here we go again"
