Niall: He’d met your immediate family before, but this was the first time that he was meeting your aunts and uncles, cousins, and close family friends. A weekend spent on the beach with all of them and you’d brought him along with you to meet them all. The first evening was interesting as he stuck to your side and was introduced to everyone, some of them definitely liked him, some of them were faking those smiles. One of your male cousins took a liking to him and invited him to go golfing the following morning along with all of the other men. Of course, after his golf outing with your family, they all loved him and soon enough he was welcomed into the family with open arms. 

Zayn: "They’re going to hate me. " He pouted as you pulled the car into the lot of the building where the reunion was happening. "They’re not going to hate you, Zayn. They’ve all met you before, one little thing like this isn’t going to make them hate you." You looked over and reached for his hand. Your boyfriend took a deep breath and squeezed your hand, trying to comfort both of your enough to get out of the car. With your hands intertwined, you walked into the room, already filled with family awaiting your arrival. "Hello, everyone! We’ve something to tell you!" You squeezed his hand tighter and he leaned in to whisper in your ear. "Don’t tell them that we’re having a thing. Say baby." 

Louis: It was late at night when you arrived to the party. You’d had to pick him up from the airport first and then drive all the way to your great aunt’s house. The party was already in full swing, everyone was drinking and laughing and the kids were all running around in circles chasing a dog. Even though Louis had been exhausted from the flight, he brightened up as soon as he saw your family. “Louis!” Your little cousins cheered when he walked in behind you. Soon they wrapped themselves around him, tugging on his sleeves and linking their arms and legs around his legs. They all loved him to bits and they only wanted him to play around with them, but it was all of your adult relatives who called him over to sit down and have a drink. “Relax for a bit, Mr Boyband. Have a beer or five.” He accepted the offer, waving off the kids and telling them that he’d play some other time. 

Harry: You sat yourself down on Harry’s lap, his arms wound around your waist and he tucked his chin over your shoulder. There was a game of capture the flag happening right in front of you both. “They threw me out of the game.” He mumbled, “I’m not very good so your uncle told me to come sit over here.” You knew that some of your family - particularly the men - didn’t like Harry much because of him being a rich public figure. “I can talk to them. There’s no reason for them to not let you play the game.” Harry frowned and shook his head, tickling the side of your face with his hair. “Let’s just go eat something. I heard someone saying something about your grandmother’s old recipe.” Of course, after you ate some of your grandmother’s cake, you left Harry to talk with a few of your cousins that were in love with him, and you went to talk to your uncle that had been so rude to him earlier. 

Liam: The little girls were all giggling as Liam followed you into the room, setting his stuff down beside yours. “Hi,” He smiled and winked both of his eyes at them. “What are your names?” Only one of them was brave enough to giggle her name at him and then the others whispered theirs as he began talking to them. “Are you two boyfriend and girlfriend? Do you kiss and stuff? You’re a lot nicer than her last boyfriend.” If it weren’t totally true, you would’ve made them stop talking, but then they started telling Liam all about how you used to have posters of him and a whole lot of other embarrassing things that you planned to never tell him. He thought it was cute though, and for the next day and a half that you were with your family, he asked all of them for the most embarrassing stories of you that they had to offer.
