family dinner

n/n: name, u/n: uncles name.

y/n's pov:
tonight my parents are throwing their annual "first night of summer barbecue." my elder cousins are coming to meet mason...

...for the first time! they live in vermont and have only seen mason on instagram or when i call my cousins.

what knocked me out of my thoughts was barking at my front door. i get up from my bed and head downstairs.

i open the door to see mase. "hey, you ready? we have at least 25 minutes." i ask as i send him a soft smile.

"yeah- come here." he hugs me and gives me a kiss. i giggle quietly as my brother comes in. "hey mason- y/n, mom and sad need help."

i nod and bring mason outside, he plays basketball with my brother as i help my mom make her famous mac and cheese.

"is aunt n/n coming today?" i ask, wanting to know if she'll bring my fav cousins. my mom thinks for a moment.

"yeah i think so. i think u/n got the night off or something." i nod as i continue to grate the cheese.

about 20 minutes later, the door opens to reveal my aunt and uncle + the cousins. my mom yells, 'in here.'

everyone arrives shortly after and we continue to make food. we have this tradition where all the cousins play hide and seek.

we settle into the basement, doing bubble gum to pick the person being it. mason gets picked as me and my cousin, c/n, hide together.

around 40 minutes pass and 3 rounds of hide and seek also go- we get called up for dinner. everyone goes up at sits outside on the deck.

i sit alongside mason and c/n as we get our food. everyone enjoys the food we all brought/made.

"so, mason! you're new." my aunt, n/n, speaks up. he looks at her, a tad nervous. "uh yeah- well i guess to you, yeah." he smiles, eating.

"oh! that's right i forgot you've been dating for 2 years. sometimes i forget you guys have known each other for so long." she nods,

correcting herself. "how did you meet, again?" my cousin, n/n, asks. "i met mason when he was filming for The Black Phone." i say.

"oh! right, i forgot about that. did you ever watch him film?" i nod, "yeah. i use to sit behind the camera." she smiles.

"they just let you? wow." i giggle, "i befriended the while cast it felt like. madeleine and me would hang out the most if mason was busy."

i explain to her. "that sounded fun. do you guys still talk to them?" mason and me both nod, "yeah, we're making plans soon." he replies.

it's 11pm when everyone leaves, mason was staying the night. we get into my bed, i turn off my lamp as we continue to watch netflix.

"hey mase?" i call out to the sleepy boy next to me. "yeah, what's up?" he croaks as he's definitely tired.

"did you enjoy today? yk meeting c/n?" i shift so we're laying across from each other. "yeah she was nice. idk if she liked me, though"

i smile tiredly, "don't say that, she definitely did. i'm glad you got to see her, though. it sucks having her live in vermont,"

he nods, listening but falling asleep. i, myself (we?) fell like i could drift off any second, so i do, cuddled into him.
