Chapter 27

The week was long but finally over. Now Saturday was here and with it the dinner with Brett's parents and family. Brett was calmly tying his tie and gave him a last once over in the mirror. He was ready.

"Eddy, are you ready?"

"Ready as I'll ever be," Eddy sighed, he felt a bit more nervous about it now that it was so close. The omega would be happy to get this over with. He wouldn't care much if they didn't like him but he knew they probably had some sway on Brett, and he didn't want that to affect the alpha. The man already had enough stress on him, he didn't need any more pressure on him.

"They'll love you, don't forget that."

He let his eyes wander over Eddy. He looked sharp. But one thing was annoying him. Brett took off the bandage from his mate's neck.

His parents would ask anyway and it was better to be open from the get go. The wound was scarred and only pinkish. The mating bite was clear to see. Brett himself showed his one too, well only half of it because the collar was hiding a bit of it. But it was a tie event in his family and he wouldn't be ignoring that.

"Better."

He stroked over the shoulders, ceasing invisible wrinkles from Eddys shoulders. The alpha stepped back and looked him over.

"Time to go."

They still had a 30 min drive ahead of them.

Eddy rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly, he still didn't know if it was a good idea to have the burn exposed to the world. It was certainly a regrettable decision, especially now since questions would probably be asked.

"Okay, let's go." He reached out to grab Brett's hand just to hold. It was more for his own comfort because he wasn't exactly sure how the alpha felt. The uncertainty needed to just leave him alone for a bit.

The bond was calm and silent for the most part. Brett knew it was because he was taking the pills so he couldn't be so sure. Eddy didn't look okay though.

"Eddy, everything will be alright. They'll love you." He squeezed the hand. Then they went to the underground garage for the car.

Brett opened the car door open for Eddy and waited for him to be seated before closing it.

After Brett sat behind the wheel he started the car and drove off.

Eddy sunk into the car seat trying to relax, "I'm not really concerned if they like me or not. I just kind of worry more for you. I can only imagine the pressure you must feel, the alpha who had no desire to have a mate then comes home with one. My family is pretty relaxed, but it seems more important to get approval from your own family than mine." The omega closed his eyes with a sigh, "I must worry too much and I don't ever remember being this empathetic with people, there must be something wrong with me."

Eddy rubbed his face with a groan, why couldn't he be a disattached jerk again? It was probably good that he wasn't though.

"I was worried about meeting your family as well and am calmer with mine so I think that's just a normal reaction. And nothing is wrong with you, Eddy. You're directly involved emotionally, so your reaction is understandable." Brett switched from manually driving to automatic and gripped Eddy's hand. "My parents will be delighted to finally see someone permanent at my side. They tried to hook me up with an omega of their choice far too often."
