meeting your family||jack

your family's annual reunion was today and you had invited your boyfriend, jack, to tag along. he had only met your direct family, the rest of the crew didn't even know you had a boyfriend.

     "y/n! jack's here, we need to go!" your mom yelled to you as you finished smoothing out your dress. you slipped into your shoes and walked to the boy who stood by your mother.
     "hey!" he said excitedly.
     "hi, you ready?" he wrapped his arms around you as you sighed. the stress of your entire family getting together was settling in.
     "last time i was this nervous i met your parents," he laughed.
     "but that went well! come on, we've got to go!" your mom ushered you out the door and into the car.

     "just a warning, my cousins are a little... loud. and crazy. and protective. did i say loud?" you looked at jack. he gulped and fixed his curls.
     "i'm good, i just hope they like me." he grabbed your hand as the car pulled into the drive way. you both were able to hear the screams and laughter coming from the backyard of your grandmother's house.

—

     "y/n! its so nice to see you!" your cousin smiled. she was the oldest out of all of them, the most mature. her younger siblings crowded around as if you were a famous person. they ranged from ages two through twenty five, they all seemed very excited to see you.
     "hi! i haven't seen you guys in a while!"
jack laced his fingers with yours, reminding you to introduce him. "this is my boyfriend, jack." he smiled and quietly said "hi."
     "you have a boyfriend?!" your ten year old cousin screamed. you tried to quiet her down, but now what felt like the entire family had their eyes on you.
     "y-yeah," you blushed, both of you were embarrassed.

that afternoon consisted of introducing jack over and over again, greeting relatives you had no idea existed and goofing off with your cousins. jack finally warmed up to them all, he had conversations about star wars with a few of your uncles and cousins.
     "i love your family!" he smiled as you both walked over to find a seat.
     "i'm glad! they're a bit... much," you shook your head as your favorite cousin approached you.
     "hey y/n!" he cheered as he sat down. "im sorry, i don't know you. what's your name?" he turned to jack.
     "jack grazer, i'm y/n's boyfriend. nice to meet you!"
     "i've been waiting for my little cuz' to get a boyfriend,"
     "y/c/n, don't. please." you knew he was going to lecture jack.
     "so, how long has it been?" he asked jack.
     "um, eleven months." you put your head in your hands, trying to hide the embarrassment.

the boys talked for what felt like years. it was only five minutes, but they dragged on and on.
     "ok, last question." y/c said.
     "thank the lord!" you added, throwing your hands in the air.
     "shut up, y/n!" he laughed. "so, do you love her?" you choked on nothing, his words startled you.
     "jesus christ," you mumbled. jack grabbed your hand and squeezed it.
     "yes sir."
     "atta boy!" they shared a high five, you were shocked at what happened.
