AN: This is for _JohnnyAppleseed_ you won't know why until you read. And the dress above is the one Sherwin wears.

〰〰〰〰〰〰

Sherwin pouted as the tailor measured his waist. "Why can't I wear something from my closet?"

Jonathan looked up from his book and chuckled. "I don't want my boyfriend going to an event in old clothes."

The ginger gave him a soft glare. "What is he making me anyway?"

"A dress."

Sherwin's cheeks heated up. "W-What? I-I don't wear dresses."

"Sherwin, I saw dresses in your closet."

"... Fine."

〰〰〰〰〰〰

Sherwin straightened his dress the moment he had it on. Why did the tailor wait until the day of the reunion to send it? What if it didn't fit?

But it did. It fit him perfectly.

He thought he looked beautiful in it, but he wasn't sure how Jonathan would react. He's going to hate it.

He didn't. In fact, the man couldn't take his eyes off him the whole drive to the old concert hall the family rented.

"Now Jonathan, my family is very... um, strange so please don't be surprised." Sherwin warned when two oak doors stood between the 'couple' and his family.

"Sherwin I think I can handle your family." Jonathan said pushing the doors open.

He first saw the many red-heads sitting at a table. He spotted a certain woman that was older than Sherwin, but young looking. He instantly saw the resemblance between the two. His mother?

Then he noticed the wolves. Why was there a pack of wolves there? And why were they hugging a pink-haired woman?

And lastly he noticed the two storks. One had just wrapped his wings around Sherwin's mother and kissed her curls. The other just stood there like he was her body-guard.

Sherwin grabbed Jonathan's hand and pulled him towards the table of red-heads. The woman stood up and ran around the table to meet the two boys.

"Oh, Sherwin! Look how you've grown!" the woman said, pulling him into a tight hug. The stork joined the hug too.

"Mom, dad, I've missed you so much!" Sherwin cried, feeling like a kid all over again.

They pulled away and smiled. "We missed you two, Sherwin." she then looked up at Jonathan. "Who is this?"

Sherwin grabbed Jonathan's hand and pulled him over. "This is my boyfriend."

Jonathan just nodded, too shocked from finding out Sherwin's dad is a stork. A talking one to be exact. He felt Sherwin elbow him. He needed to say something. "I'm Jonathan."

"How did you two meet?"

Sherwin prayed to the heavens and whatever that Jonathan wouldn't tell the truth, at least not the full version.

"He works at my company."

Sherwin sighed in relief. That didn't sound so bad.

Suddenly Jonathan had his face very close to the pink-haired girl's. She gave him a warm smile, before stepping back. "Sherwin really picked a good one. He's hot and rich!"

Before Jonathan could reply, the girl was bending down to study Sherwin's dress. "Nice seamwork... what store did you get this from?"

"Actually... Jonathan got it hand-made for me." Sherwin whispered, his cheeks turning a light pink. She looked up at him like he just handed her a cupcake; her eyes sparkled and she was practically shining.

"Aww! That's so sweet!" she turned to Jonathan. "When is the wedding?"

"What?"

〰〰〰〰〰〰

AN 2: So do you see now, _JohnnyAppleseed_ ? I love Tulip and Junior being his parents... so I just shoved it in here for fun. And I hope you know who the pink-haired girl (and Lilly) is. I'll just give you a hint: DD.
