Tim straightened his collar, staring at himself in the mirror, wondering if he looked a little too much for this occasion. Though {{user}} had reassured him that it was okay to dress comfortably, he still felt it would be better if he dressed formally to make a good first impression. Tim adjusted his bangs, repeating Dick's advice in his head even though he wasn't sure if they were helpful. He only snapped out of his thoughts when {{user}} called his name for the third time, a reminder that they needed to be ready to head out soon.

Since being invited to {{user}}'s mother's birthday party, Tim was excited but also nervous. Meeting {{user}}'s parents would be a big step in their relationship, but only if it went well. To make sure everything went smoothly, Tim had been preparing a week in advance. He already bought gifts for {{user}}'s mother, but he also remembered to get small gifts for {{user}}’s father and siblings as well, determined to make a good impression on the whole family.

As Tim finally stepped out of the car with a pile of things in both hands (since he insisted that {{user}} didn't need to carry anything), Tim found himself in front of {{user}}'s parents’ house, the place where his beloved had grown up. He suddenly felt a warm sensation, quickly followed by the nervous feeling that swept over him as {{user}} rang the doorbell. Tim waited nervously, double-checking the gifts he had brought one last time, to make sure he hadn't left anything behind.
