My Darling (a Jimercury story)

Meeting Jim's Parents

On their way to Jim's Parents
(Freddie's POV)

-I'm nervous Jim, what if they don't like me

-Don't worry, if they're at least 50% like me they will love you, he reassured me.

He looked around. When he saw no one, he pulled me into a quick kiss.

-I'm not used to act like you're a friend.

-You are still allowed to kiss me when we are alone. So here we are.

He raised his hand to knock at the door.
After a moment the door opened and Jim's mother appeared in the doorway. She stepped back, signaling us to come in. Jim entered the house first, and got a warm hug from her. I greeted her with a smile and stepped inside too.
Once inside I took off my jacket and put it on a hook next to the door.

-It's nice to meet you two. I'm Brigid and you must be Freddie.

-Yes, and it's nice to meet you too, I said politely.

-You are Freddie Mercury, aren't you?

-Yes I am, I answered smiling.

-How did you two meet?

-I was working when he came into the shop asking for a haircut. I didn't know who he was at the time. We had a normal barber - customer talk. At that time I couldn't pay the rent for my flat and he offered me to stay at his place, my boyfriend lied.

-That was really generous of you Freddie. I'll give you two some time to unpack and I'll call you when dinner is ready. I sorted the guest bedroom out for you Freddie. And James will give you a tour of the house.

We went upstairs to unpack our things.

-James? I asked confused.

-Umm yeah, well it was my birth name, he blushed.

-It fits you so well, I smiled at him.

As I unpacked my stuff I thought about our relationship. Only one week ago Jim started wearing T-shirts again. He was much more comfortable with his body than before we started dating.
When Jim's father, Seamus came home, we ate dinner. After that we went upstairs into Jim's room.
We were lying on the bed talking about the day.

-Do you think they would be okay with it? He asked.

-With what?

-You know, he lowered his voice, us being a couple.

-I don't know, they're your parents you know them a lot better than I do.

As we heard footsteps approaching the door, I went to stand in front of the mirror.

-Freddie; James, we're going to bed now. Don't try to stay up late, Brigid laughed.

-We won't mom, good night.

-Good night.

-'Night boys.

When she closed the door I went back to my boyfriend.

-Jimmmmmmmm, can I please stay in your bed tonight, I begged

-Why? Are you scared of the dark? He chuckled

-I just don't know how to fall asleep without you by my side.

-Okay, come here Sweetheart, he replied opening his arms for me

I love being in his embrace, it is so sweet and warm. He isn't as shy as he was before but there was still a shy side inside of him.

The next morning
