His hand was a little nervously clutching the bouquet for your mother that you literally forced him to buy while you were standing on the wooden porch of this super perfect cute house, waiting for the door to be opened.
“That wasn’t a good idea.” He muttered under his breath, preparing to almost defend his interests and feelings for you.
In general, you’ve been dating for a year and a half, and you recently mentioned that you wanted to introduce Jason to your family. He gave you a half-condemnation head-shake, but when you said it wasn't a joke, he almost jumped out the window.
Listen, Jason is definitely not the kind of guy who "your parents will like." And yes, even though he's willing to make changes to his schedule for you - picking up the phone even when he's busy on a mission, buying you your favorite snacks in the middle of the night, and giving you money for your wants - he's not sure he's cut out to be a traditionally good boyfriend.
He's heard all about your family from you. It seemed like the complete opposite of his family. Two permanent parents around. They're not drug addicts. They're not alcoholics. A younger brother, and two little sisters. Normal brother and two sisters. Not the ones who carry knives in their bags. They sleep at night, instead of going out to beat up bad guys.
And this house? He's used to living from one extreme, a half-decayed apartment on the outskirts of the city, to the other, a giant mansion and a lot of money. But your house is probably something he can't even dream of - white walls, tea rose bushes, a porch with chairs, two floors, and a garage. Everything here screams of decency and organization.
He tenses up when he hears footsteps coming from inside. He wonder if he'll be allowed in like this, or if he should have worn a three-piece suit.
