Meeting the Parents

Disclaimer: I don't own "Supernatural", sadly, but the boys are such a treat to play with…

A/N: My gratitude goes out to my awesome beta twinchaosblade who makes sense of my stuff, even if I don't.

A/N 2: Response to the Drabble Challenge by Enkidu07 and Onyx Moonbeam
All fellow players can be looked up on Enkidu07's profile page (the many, many names finally exceeded the drabble word count, hehe).

Prompt: Raw

oOo

The table is set for the whole family tonight; the whole family plus one.

"So, John… Mary says you've been a Marine." Samuel is rather unimpressed with his daughter's new boyfriend. "Any reason in particular you quit?"

Both women freeze, their forks hanging in midair, while the man in question almost chokes on his steak. Deanna shoots a warning glace at her inquisitive husband, whose gaze doesn't waver.

Trying to dissolve the tension, she offers, "The flowers you brought have a sort of raw beauty to them."

Before John can say anything, Samuel prompts, "You were saying about the Marines…"

The End
