You were old enough now— that’s what Charles told Erik when you brought your partner home —yet Erik hadn’t considered it. Charles was a little upset, you were their child and they only wanted the best for you, but he was still supportive.

Erik was just… having a hard time doing the same. He thought no one was good enough for you… which is why he’d been glaring at your partner since dinner started.

“So, {{user}}, how long have the two of you been dating?” Charles tries to break the tension with a small smile, hoping Erik would take a hint and stop glaring. He was an intimidating man even when he was trying not to be, and he was an even worse intimidation when he wanted to be.
