You looked at yourself in the mirror, spinning around as you checked yourself out in the mirror. You were lucky to find such a beautiful dress that fit you just right, and in your favorite color too.  You smiled at yourself, you had to admit you looked very nice. You fixed your soft hair, you had styled it nice just for this occasion. There was a soft knock at your door. You took a deep breath and threw a light cardigan over yourself that went along with your dress. You walked to the door and opened it, your eyes widened at the sight of both Nathan and Warren. They were...side by side. They both chuckled upon seeing your reaction.

"What is it?" Warren spoke

"Nothing," you looked them both up and down , "You both sure look beautiful, very fashionable." you laughed to yourself. Nathan wore a nice, clean tux...you were surprised to see him looking so...different. As for Warren, he wore a white button up dress shirt with a black tie; seeing he didn't have to make as much of a big first impression. 

"Oh ha ha, very funny," Warren sarcastically laughed, "You look very nice, definitely better than me."

Nathan laughed, "I agree with that," he reaches his hand out to you, "Are you ready?" 

you take his hand and nod, "My parents are already at the restaurant waiting for us." you stepped out your room, closing the door with your free hand. 

"I...hope they'll like me." Nathan looks down and begins to walk with you. Warren walks ahead of you both

"They will. I'm sure of it, you and Warren are important in my life so they don't have a choice." you snicker 

"That's good to know," he smiles and stops, "Oh, hold on." he reaches into the pocket of his tuxedo jacket 

"Dude, I thought you were gonna  wait." Warren grinned as he stopped to look at you two

"Huh? What are you--" you stopped as you watched Nathan pull a rectangular black box from his pocket. A jewelry box?

"I got something for you." he opened the box to reveal a bright shiny necklace with beautiful stones

"Oh my gosh....Nathan," you stared in awe before shaking your head and looking up into his caring eyes, "No! No! I-I can't--"

"Shh," he took the necklace from the box and you watched the light reflect and dance across the diamonds, "Can I?" he softly asked ;once you nodded he handed Warren the box. You turned your back toward him so that he could wrap the necklace around your neck.

"This is so beautiful, Nathan. Thank you so much." you turned to look at him once he secured the necklace

"Thank Warren too, he went with me to pick it out." Nathan smiled nervously; rubbing the back of his neck 

You look surprised, "Wow, thank you so much guys," you intertwine your hand with Nathan's and lock arms with Warren as you begin to walk with the two, "Look at my boys, getting along with each other." you coo with a grin on your face 

They both laugh as you guys make your way to Warren's car.

You feel your stomach turn as you stand outside of the fancy restauraunt, you're beyond excited to see your parents after months...but you're nervous. You know that they won't dislike Nathan or Warren but you still feel this squirming feeling in your stomach...like butterflies. You and the guys enter, quickly finding your parents as they wave you over. You walk over to them and before you can pull out your seat Nathan does it for you, you thank him and take a seat between him and Warren on the other side of the table.

"Hey! Look at my baby girl, you look great sweetie." Your mom looks so excited and happy to see you

You nervously smile, "Thanks, mom." your smile quickly left you once you realized you didn't think this all the way through, how would you tell them the news without having to tell Nathan? You cleared your throat, deciding you'd handle that when you got to it.

"So...who are these two?' your father raised his eyebrow, looking quite skeptical of the two 

"Uh well...this is Warren, my best friend," you gestured toward him; causing Warren to give a slight wave at them, "And this is Nathan......my..boyfriend." you tensed at this and watched as Nathan reached over the table to shake your father and mother's hands.

"It's nice to finally get to know you two." he smiles at the two 

"B-boyfriend?!" your mom looks to your father;surprised and not sure what to say 

"(Y/N), are you sure you can handle a boyfriend? I mean with your c--"

"Uh, would you guys excuse us," you quickly cut your father off, "Mom, dad we need to talk...in private." you stand and your parents do too, you quickly escort them away from the table

"What? Whats wrong....don't tell me you didn't tell him!" your mom pried 

"I-I...well.." you nervously looked away 

"(Y/N)! You cant do that to people." your father warned

"Well the thing is...I..I found out days ago that I'm," you looked at them "In remission."

Your parents look taken aback before they both grab you and pull you into their arms

"That's amazing news! That's.." your mother isn't even sure what to say but you can tell she's crying by her voice. You hugged them tightly before the three of you composed yourselves and returned back to your table to order. Dinner went great, way better than you expected. Warren hit it off with your dad immedietly, considering they were both nerds. Nathan seemmed to enjoy your parents company, he seemed happy to be there. You all shared some laughes and stories before the night came to an end. You said goodbye to your parents and hugged them before they had to return to their hotel they were staying in. Nathan held your hand as you, him, and Warren returned to the car.

"I'm glad I got to meet your parents...they're..amazing." he softly smiled

"You think so?" you leaned your head on his shoulder as the two of you walked 

" Yea," he scoffed under his breath "Way better than mine." 

"Really?" you thought to yourself for a moment "Do you think I can meet them sometime?" you looked up at him, his smile faded 

"I mean," he sighed as he opened the car door for you, "If you want to then..sure." he hesitantly answered;you didn't persist. He closed your door once you were situated inside the car. The three of you returned to your dorms for the night.
