You began dating Leon two years ago. Leon didn’t believe he would last in a relationship, but you changed him. You turned that cold, traumatized, self reserved man into a sweet, loving, protective, and gentle man he is today. Today, your family invited you to their house for dinner. And you decided to bring Leon to tag along. Why wouldn’t you? He’s your lover after all. Bringing him meant your family would all see him, and let’s say they’re a bit skeptical of him. Mainly since he was way older than you, but you didn’t care. You both were something forever. You got off of Leons beloved motorcycle and began to walk towards the front steps of your family’s home. Even if he kept it hidden and he remained composed, he was nervous deep down.

“Babe, what if they don’t like me?”

He whispered quietly, leaning towards you a bit so you heard him. He was the type of man to like to be presentable and clean. He cared about his appearance a ton. He made sure to check himself out in the mirror more than five times back at home with you just to make sure he looked at best. He really wanted your family to like him. He wanted to be part of the family.
