Josh Dun Imagines [2]

Family Meeting - [FLUFF]

The Reader In This Stammers/Stutters in this just what it said in Tumblr

You stared down at your beaten up shoes. Had you made the wrong choice in wearing them? Josh's parents might think that they were gross. There were plenty of other, nicer, shoes that you could have worn. Why didn't you pick one of them?

"Are you doing alright?" Josh asked, reaching over and grabbing your hand from your lap.

You looked over to him and nodded, hoping that it would reassure him. He glanced at you and gave your hand a light squeeze.

After six months of dating, you had finally gone home to Ohio with Josh to meet his family. Luckily for you, only his parents would be home this weekend. You weren't so sure that you would be able to handle meeting all of his siblings at the same time too.

"They're going to love you, I promise. My mom hasn't been able to stop talking about you since I sent her some pictures of us."

"T... t-hat's good to hear," you said, forcing your mouth into a lopsided smile.

"And you know that at the end of the day, I'm always going to have your back."

Josh turned off the main road onto a little side street. You felt your heartbeat begin to pick up as rows of suburban houses came into view. Your grip on Josh's hand grew tighter.

"This is it," Josh said as he pulled up against the curb.

"It's nice," you said.

The house was about how you had pictured it with brick walls and brightly colored siding. A nice manicured lawn was out front and you could practically picture Josh and his siblings playing out in the yard during the summer. It matched all the childhood stories Josh had told you perfectly.

"Ready?" Josh asked, shutting off the car.

"Yeah, let's go."

Josh wrapped an arm around you as you walked up the pathway that led to the front door. You took deep breaths and nervously tapped your fingers against Josh's torso. He removed his arm from around you once you reached the porch so that he could knock. You fiddled with the end of your shirt.

His mom was the one to open the door. She smiled widely once she realized that it was the two of you.

"Josh! Y/N! I'm so glad that you made it."

Josh stepped inside so you followed suit. She pulled him into a hug and then turned to you, still holding her arms out widely. You hesitantly stepped forward and allowed yourself to be pulled into her embrace.

"It's so nice to finally meet you, Y/N. Josh has told me so much about you. You're even more beautiful than your pictures. I'm Laura, by the way."

"Thank you," you smiled. "It's nice to finally m... nice to finally m-meet you too."

Josh's dad appeared around the corner. He also began smiling once he realized that you and Josh had arrived.

"I was wondering when you two were going to arrive!"

He pulled Josh into a hug but settled on giving you a handshake as he introduced himself. You tried your best to keep your arm stiff and give him a solid handshake.

"Where's all your stuff?" Laura asked.

"Still in the car," Josh explained. "I just wanted to let you guys know that we made it."

"Why don't we go carry it in?" Bill asked, clapping a hand down on Josh's shoulder.

Josh nodded and followed his dad back out the door. You wanted to go with him, but didn't want to appear rude.
