Gene and I sit at the table at Olive Garden. Aphmau and Aaron are watching Melody and I hope they're okay. It's hard not to worry, but Gene tries to force my mind away from them.

"Babe, they're fine." Gene sighs, "Your family will be here any minute..."

"Who all did you invite?" I tilt my head.

"Garroth, Vylad, Zane, and Zianna. That's all." He shrugs.

I screw up my face, "Zane hates Olive Garden- and people. How did you get him to come?"

"I have my ways." He smirks.

The boys and mom walk over.

"Speak of devils." I smile and hug them.

Vylad rolls his eyes, "I'm offended."

"I'm Y/N, nice to meet you." I laugh.

"Dad jokes.." Zane groans.

I go silent for a bit and clear my throat, "I wouldn't call them dad jokes based on my experience..."

Everyone stares at me for a minute and Gene clears the silence. "Well, let's sit I guess."

Everyone nods and sits down. I fiddle with the breadsticks that we got as an appetizer, not even eating them.

Gene furrows his eyebrows. "Why aren't you eating?"

"Not exactly hungry..." I mumble.

Garroth looks at me weirdly. "Y/N? Something you need to talk about?"

I shake my head and stare at my plate.

"Y/N, I'm your mother. I know you're hungry..."

I glance up at mom and take a bite out of my breadstick.

"Happy now?" I ask, my mouth full.

Zane rolls his eyes, "Really Y/N?"

I cross my arms and take another bite.

"Why are you always like this Y/N?" Zane groans.

I glance up at him.

"Like really? Every time we see you you're depressed or something.." He continues.

"Shut up Zane..." Vylad says.

"No, I wanna know what's bothering you." He persists.

"It's nothing.."

"It's not." Zane pushes.

"It is."

"It isn't!" I yell.

"Then why won't you eat?!" Zane questions.

"I'm not hungry! Okay?!" I answer.

"You're always hungry."

"So?"

"Zane, leave her alone. She's worried about Melody.." Gene interrupts.

I stare back down at my empty plate.

"Oh..." He sinks back into his seat.

"Y/N, Melody is fine." Garroth says.

"How do you know?"

"I know, she's in good hands." He answers.

"If you insist..." I finish off my breadstick.

After we've all finished our food, me having ate the least, Gene clears his throat.

"Excuse you." I laugh.

"Yeah," He stands up and raises his voice. "EXCUSE ME."

I chuckle. "Gene, what are you doing?"

"I'D LIKE TO MAKE A TOAST-"

"Gene this is Olive Garden. I knew the waitress spiked your drink."

"-TO MY GIRLFRIEND. THE MOST BEAUTIFUL-"

"Gene, sit down." I giggle.

"-LADY I KNOW. SHE IS AMAZING AND PROBABLY THE EMOTIONALLY STRONGEST GIRL THAT-"

"Gene," I chuckle.

"-I KNOW. HOPEFULLY..-"

I tug his arm, "Cmon, sit down hun."

He gets down on one knee and clears his throat. "-She'll be my wife?"

I blink. He takes my hand in his. "Y/N, ever since I met you I knew you were different. This may not be the most poetic thing ever, but I love you. Will you marry me?"

He pulls out a ring box. I laugh, "Your kidding!"

He shakes his head and chuckles. I nod my head and giggle, "I accept your proposal, even if you're a goofball."

He slides the ring on my finger and stands up, kissing me. The people around us clap and mom squeals. Vylad, Zane, and Garroth smirk and end the recordings on their phones.

"SO THATS HOW YOU GOT ZANE TO COME!" I laugh.

He nods, "Mhm."

"I couldn't miss my sisters engagement-proposal-thingy." Zane smiles.

I hug them all and laugh.
