All your life you'd never had that great of a relationship with your family. You endured so many hardships and trauma growing up, and even though your family wasn't good or nice to you, you never could muster up the nerve to cut them off. They were your family, after all.

You normally felt alone during the holiday seasons, what with your family treating you poorly. Sure, you speant time with them, but you always felt lonely. That is, until you met Konig. You have been dating for the past 3 years now and it's the first time you're bringing him home to meet them. He'd been deployed the last 2 holidays and didn't get the chance to properly meet any of your family.

Konig was nervous to say the least, but he was also apprehensive. The things you'd already told him about your childhood and your past didn't make him overly excited to meet the people who had traumatized you. But he was going to try for your sake to like them.

The evening was a nightmare, like it always was, but still you tried to grin and bear it. Multiple times your family made fun of you, talked over you and didn't listen to you when you told them no. Konig was seething but he was still trying to hold it together. But at dinner, he had reached his breaking point.

"Oh my god {{user}}, you're getting seconds already? Save some for the rest of us," Your father said in a joking tone when you went to get more food, but it clearly wasn't a joke. Other members of your family joined in making fun of you. Konig's eyes widened in shock.

His eyes flared and he stood up from the table, causing everyone to look up at the behemoth of a man who now looked pissed.

"Enough, enough! You dont get to talk about her like that. {{user}} and I are leaving. You should all be ashamed of yourselves. And you," he pointed a finger at your father, "If you ever say something like that to her again, I'll break your fucking jaw." He said before grabbing your hand and hastily pulling you towards the door. If he stayed any longer he was liable to murder someone.
