Phil <3: I'm super tired so I'm gonna sleep now

I blushed and grinned, setting my phone down. I loved it when he called me that.

Unable to keep my excitement to myself, I hurried into Ian's room.

"Ian!" I collapsed on his bed, grinning up at him.

Ian paused his anime, glaring down at me. "This better be good."

"I'm gonna meet Phil's mum tomorrow!"

Ian raised his eyebrows. "Damn, already? It took six months for me to introduce you to my parents..."

"I know it's kinda soon, but apparently she's been pestering Phil about it for a while now!"

"No pressure..." Ian muttered. I chose to ignore him.

"What do you think she's like?"

"I don't fucking know! She's your boyfriend's mom."

I thought for a moment. "It's hard to imagine someone like Phil being close to their parents. He seems like the kind of guy who rebelled a lot as a teen." Ian shook his head, turning back to his laptop. "I mean, do you think she'll look like him? Like, she'll have a lot of tattoos and stuff?"

"I dunno."

"I wonder what happened to his dad? He's never mentioned him... To be fair, I haven't told him about my parents either. Do you think it's alright to ask? Maybe I will if the topic doesn't get brought up tomorrow..."

"Dan, you're doing that thing again where you just use me as a way for you to talk to yourself. Can I get back to my anime now?"

I scowled, pushing myself off the bed. "Fine. Be that way."

Ian just shook his head at my bitterness, pressing the space bar with a click.

I returned to my room, the noise of high-pitched Japanese voices fading behind me.
