Fear of Falling Short [[Percy x Oliver]]

Molly and Arthur were good people, right? Sure, they hadn't paid percy much mind when he was young, but they had so many kids! And maybe they were a bit dismissive when he confided in them about his brothers bullying him, but surely its difficult to see the faults in your own children. Right??? He was certain that they would be happy for him, after all, why wouldn't they be?

Percy is desperate for his parents approval, and as much as he hopes they will accept his partner and his sexuality, can he really be sure? Oliver is more hesitant about coming out to his fiancé's family, without Percy's rose tinted glasses, he sees that they are not the effortlessly loving parents they appear to be. He saw how their comments made Percy feel, how insecure he was, always pushed aside.
