Ushijima was in trouble, he already knew that when he agreed to bring you to meet his parents, not that it was anything abnormal, you had been dating for years and you just couldn't hold yourself back, you wanted to meet your boyfriend's parents. However, he didn't want to make you sad with a bad experience that he was sure would come, after all, his mother was strict and didn't accept mistakes, even the smallest ones.

He wasn't afraid of his father, the man was kind and loving and would accept anything that made his son happy, although he still thought his parents should separate, anyone knew that all those thousands of fights weren't right, especially in a love marriage like theirs.

Ushijima loved you and that's why he accepted, it was Christmas and he wanted to surprise his parents by visiting them after so much time busy with his busy routine as a famous volleyball player. And he wanted to make you happy by giving you the opportunity to meet his parents, he had been so hard on you to avoid this, making up stupid excuses like: 'they're on a trip this week, love' or 'their dog hurt his paw and went to the vet' there were countless silly excuses to avoid making you feel inadequate for him.

His hands were sweating and he gave you a reassuring smile as he adjusted the ornament in your hair, waiting for the doorbell to be answered. “You look beautiful, they’re going to love you.” he said, giving you a light kiss on the forehead, transmitting confidence.

He picked up your bag and carried it for you. You were perfect in his eyes, but he knew his mother wouldn't think the same way, just as she hated the fact that he was left-handed and had done everything she could to change it, considering it a defect. But, of course, he would defend you from all of that.
