I don't own Degrassi

Riley watched his boyfriend talk on the phone, curious as to who he was talking to but he didn't say anything, if it was important Zane would tell him so Riley just took a drink of his coffee and waited for the other boy to get off the phone.

"Alright fine, I'll do it. Just please stop begging its annoying." Zane said a smile on his face when he spoke, Riley looked curiously at him before taking a drink of coffee. "I'll be there. You too."

"Everything okay, Zane?" Riley asked confused as to what was being spoken of, he looked around The Dot as if it would give him some sort of clue.

"Just a friend needing a favor." Zane said simply before grabbing his bag and getting up. "I got to go though. I'll see you tomorrow."

Riley frowned as he watched his boyfriend walk off. Anya came over to the table and sat down a few moments later, a slightly worried expression on her face. "Did you two fight again?"

"No...I just..." Riley looked at his coffee before looking up at Anya. "I feel like there's something Zane's not telling me. I mean I've never even been to his house. Which is really weird considering how long we've been together..."

"Well do you know where he lives? Have you ever dropped him off?" Anya asked, now curious as to what was happening with Zane.

"No, he would always offer to drive me or we'd meet up." Riley looked at Anya with wide eyes. "Do you think he's cheating on me?"

Anya bit her lip and looked out the window. "We could follow him..."

"What? No! No-I couldn't do that, I trust Zane." Riley looked at his coffee. "I'll just ask to meet his family. I mean they can't be that-"

"Hey, sorry forgot my jacket." Zane said before grabbing it off an empty chair.

"Zane wait-"

"Riles, I have to go." Zane said starting to walk out again. Riley put money down and grabbed his stuff, nodding to Anya before walking after Zane.

"Zane, we've been together for a while." Riley started when he had caught up to Zane.

"Whats your point?" Zane said slightly fearful of what might come next.

"Why haven't I met your family?" It was blunt and sounded slightly heartless but needed to be said. Zane was all about 'being who you are' and 'truth' that him hiding something like this seemed hypocritical.

"Its complicated. I don't live with my parents, Riley. You know that, why are you so curious?" Zane had kept walking but looked over at him when he spoke.

"I just feel like..."

"You think I'm ashamed of you." Zane stated and looked at Riley again, who looked slightly guilty. Zane took a breath in and stopped walking. He grabbed a paper and wrote down an address before handing it to Riley. "Six tomorrow, okay?"

Riley nodded and smiled at Zane, "Zane..I didn't mean that you had to-" Riley was cut off by a pair of warm lips on his, the short kiss ended to soon for Riley, who had grabbed onto the slim boy's wait.

"I want you to come over. Alright? I really do have to go though." Zane started walking again and this time Riley didn't follow him, instead he looked at the paper and read the address committing it to memory before starting the walk home.

He had gotten what he wanted but now he was nervous. Meeting his boyfriend's family for the first time was a big deal, right? So he shouldn't be nervous but excited, right? They wouldn't hate him, would they?

Riley tried to put the thoughts that had been plaguing him out of his mind as he walked to his house, unlocking the door he let himself into his house. He walked upstairs to his room and laid on his bed. There wasn't really anything he could do to calm his nerves so he pulled out his laptop.

Confused by this Riley scrolled down his contacts, and to his surprise Zane was online though his status said busy. He was brought out of his thoughts by another IM from Anya.

rstavros21: he's busy, I don't think I should bother him.

Riley stared at his screen for a minute debating on whether or not to message the younger man, he didn't want to seem clingy but really wanted to talk to the other. Finally he typed a short message and sent it.

rstavros21: hey

Before Riley could respond Zane had signed off. He was now really starting to get nervous, Zane occasionally acted like this but it was never something that he thought twice about. He had done everything Zane had asked and now he couldn't stop thinking about meeting his family. Questions swam through his mind, it was official. Riley Stavros was becoming paranoid.
