Ren & June's Outfits ^^

June P O V

Today was the day. The day my boyfriend meets papa, It still feels surreal I get to call him my boyfriend. I even get butterflies thinking about it.

I bounce excitedly in my seat. After my heartfelt talk with papa and the way he feels more accepting of Ren now that we're official, Ren took the first step wanting to meet him.

I know he's an open minded person and will never judge but deep down I feel anxious.

What if their meeting doesn't go as planned?

What if It all goes sideways?

What if they might not be able to tolerate each other when I'm not there?

All these thoughts swarm my mind but I push them down.

'No negative thoughts June it will go alright, maybe not perfect but alright.' I chant to myself

As if Ren could sense how I'm feeling he takes my hand in his and rests it on the center console. His arms flexing as he drives with one hand plasters a blush on my neck and cheeks.

I swear everything he does gives me butterflies. I guess it's the Ren effect he has on me, not that I mind.

It's not long before we arrived at my Papa's house and the butterfly feeling is now making me feel all tingly and not in a good way. I'm nervous.

We got this

It'll go well... probably, most likely

Hopefully

As always Ren opens the door for me conjoining my hand in his while holding a small basket filled with chocolates, fruits and champagne.

He insisted on bringing something for papa since it'll be his first time officially meeting him. His exact words and I quote were 'I can't show up to my Future Father- In-Law home without a gift, It would be rude not to and I want to make a good impression'

I knocked on the door waiting to be greeted by papa, my heart hammering in my chest.

Ren should be feeling this not me

I inhaled a breath of air choking on it as the door opened revealing Ethan Dawson, my Papa.

I cough hitting my chest intaking oxygen while the two men before me watch with concerned eyes before I clear my throat. "Papa this is my boyfriend Ren." I introduced the two gauging my fathers reaction. "Ren It's a pleasure to officially meet you I'm Mr. Dawson, June's Father."

Papa encased Ren's hand in a firm handshake papa staring firmly at my boyfriend with an unreadable expression.

"It's nice to officially meet you as well Mr. Dawson" "Here, these are for you" Ren says handing papa the basket. Papa leads us into the house, a sort of awkward tension bestowed upon us.

So far so good

I cheer mentally

I sit curled up on the couch next to my boyfriend and papa in his usual spot, the Armchair sharing stories about my childhood over cocoa and popcorn. Hours had passed and it was late in the afternoon after Papa took Ren to the living room and sent me to the kitchen, whatever the two talked about it worked out well.

"Papa" I say "Can't you stop sharing embarrassing stories abt me now? I think Ren Knows enough" I plead

He laughed and shook his head. "Alright Butterfly I'll stop" I watch him set his mug down turning his focus on Ren "Ren Do you know how to play Go fish?" Dad asks.

"Yea, I do. I'd play every other day with some of my roommates in my first year."

"I'll go get the cards then. Still in the pantry next to the candles and matches?" I asked recieving a nod in return.

Interesting place to put a deck of cards I know.

I returned with the cards plopping on the floor getting comfy before shuffling and handing out 7 cards to each person and soon the game began.

I wasn't sure how much time had passed since we began several rounds of Go Fish. After the seventh round I lost count of how many times we played the game. "I think we should head home soon it's getting late and both me and Ren have classes tomorrow"

Ren check the time on his phone realizing how much time we'd spend here "Okay Kids let's wrap up It's late out"

Ren lifts me off the floor gathering our stuff while I stretch. Sitting on the floor for so long made my muscles stiff. Papa walks us out embracing me in a hug and giving a firm nod to Ren "Safe drive home, perhaps another time we'll continue our game of cards."

"Bye Papa, I love you"

"Bye June make sure and get rest for tomorrow"

"Bye Ren"

"Goodnight Ethan"

'Ethan?' 'He let you call him by his first name'

I asked as we entered the car. 'Yes. We're good. I don't know why I was nervous in the first place, Ethan's a nice person'

I almost choke on air at that sentence.

Papa, my Papa nice. Only to a certain crowd.
