It had been a few weeks since their first date and while they hadn't been hiding their relationship the trio hadn't had any questions or anything like that. Which meant either people didn't care about their personal life or they were too wrapped up in their own life to notice anything was different. While Ben was confused, Mal and Evie were grateful because it meant they hadn't received any hateful glares or words about their dating situation.
As had become the norm for the trio Mal and Evie were holding hands on their way to meet their boyfriend for lunch. Although there was a reason they were holding hands today. Ben had suggested having lunch at the castle so they could tell his parents he was dating Evie also, as they still only knew he was dating Mal. Evie had promise the pair of them it didn't matter to her if his parents only knew about Mal but Ben quickly went into an empassioned speech about how it felt like he was hiding Evie and he didn't like that feeling one little bit.
Eventually Evie had caved and agreed but she was still incredibly nervous. It was once thing to be openly affectionate at school but this was telling Ben's parent, more specifically Ben's mom. Anyone else could say something to Ben and it would be brushed to a side but Belle said something and it could mean Ben would have to choose between them. If it came to that Evie was sure she would be left, pushed aside, and that would be the end of their relationship. This thought had been plaguing the blue haired girl all day, causing her to become extremely tense. She ahd shared her worries with Mal and while her girlfriend had assured her Ben would stay with them both no matter what they said, Evie was still beyond nervous.
As the two walked out into the courtyard they noticed Ben. Mal couldn't help but smile at their boyfriend but they both noticed Evie began fidgetting with her already perfect dress. She always did this when she was nervous and usually snapped at them should they interrupt her but after Ben gave Mal a kiss he wanted to give his other girlfriend one. Him and Mal shared a smile before they both moved towards their oblivious girlfriend.
Mal moved behond her girlfriend and wrapped her arms around their favourite blunette making her jump but as the purple haired fairy placed a gently kiss to the base of Evie's neck, the slightly taller girl kept her head down. Ben couldn't help but frown slightly at this. He hasn't seen her look like this since the four VK's arrived. Gently he lifted her head, after hooking his fingers under her chin, before pressing his lips to hers. It was meant to be a quick kiss but as he felt Evie respond to his kiss he couldn't help but get lost in the moment, placing his hands under Mal's arms on Evie's hips and stepping a little closer to his two beauties. The sight actually caused Mal to groan her approval of what was happening but she was also aware they were due to meet their boyfriends parents, like now.
"Guys." She said, hating the fact that when she spoke they stopped. She could have watched that forever. "As much as I hate breaking this up we should go meet Belle and Adam." She explained. Mal watched the other two nod before the three of them separated and climbed into the limo that was waiting for them, with a rather flushed and embarrassed looking driver.
Far too soon for both girls liking the car was pulling up outside Castle Beast. Stood at the top of the steps waiting for them was the King and Queen. The sight of them made Evie nervous again. The trio waited for the driver to open the door and Ben stepped out first. He then turned back to the car and helped Mal out first before helping Evie. He had no idea how this conversatio would go and decided to get it over with before lunch so if it went badly then the trio could head into town for something to eat and hopefully a bit of shopping would calm his beauties down if it came to it.
If the King and Queen were surprised to see Mal or Evie get out of the car they didn't show it and the two girls followed a step behind their boyfriend, as he walked over to his parents. "Ben, what a lovely surprise." Belle said before turning to look at the girls. "Mal, Evie." She greeted them, causing them to curtsy to her. They may be dating Ben but she was still royalty as well as Ben's mother. They had to make a good impression. "There's no need to curtsy, girls." Queen Belle told them both gently. "Not when were in private. And please call me Belle and my husband Adam when were in private also." The brunette Queen told them.
Both girls shared a glance at each other but it didn't last long as King Adam decided to address his son. "So, Ben. You said you wanted to talk to us?" He asked as the adults and teens began heading inside.
"Yeah." Ben answered his parents before he quickly glanced at his girls. "Maybe we could head into the family room?" He suggested and with a small confused look his parents headed into the mentioned room. Ben signalled for Mal and Evie to stay next to him and the two girls easily complied as Belle and Adam sat in front of their son. Neither girl was looking forward to this conversation and both felt a little better stood net to Ben. "So, I'm dating Evie." Ben told his parents as he took hold of his blue haired girlfriends hand.
"Why is Mal here if Evie is your girlfriend?" Adam asked his son. Mal knew part of him still didn't like her but she wasn't prepared for how he had said that. His tone of voice actually made her flinch. Something which didn't go unnoticed by Ben, Evie and even Belle.
"Mal is here because I'm dating her as well." Ben stated, grasping his other girlfriends hand as he did so. The young King was trying to keep his temper in check and holding his girls' hands was helping a lot.
"You're dating them both? And they're okay with this?" Belle asked her son. She was curious as to how that would work and what would happen when he ultimately chose the one he wanted to continue to date and spend his life with.
"It's more then that mom." Ben told her. Seeing her confusion Ben glanced at his girls. Recieving a nod from both, he squeezed their hands a little before explaining what he meant. "The three of us are dating each other. All three of us are in a relationship together." Belle's face went from shock to confusion and a little understanding. But as Ben expected his father didn't look all too happy about it.
"You're what!?" He bellowed, rising from his chair as he did. Clearly his restraint on his anger has long since been gone. While Ben had expected him to not be happy about it he hadn't expected a reaction like this. "You are not dating these two. I will not have it!" He continued to shout at his son.
Ben actually growled as he spoke about his girlfriends like that. Something both teens and his mother noticed immediately. "It's not your decision who I date." The young king growled out. Both Mal and Evie gripped his hands tighter and placed their other hand on his arms, trying to calm him. But as both Kings glared at each other they all realised this wouldn't end well. "I am King now and I can date and love whoever I damn well please." Ben told his father.
Despite her son and husband being at odds Belle couldn't help but be happy Ben was following his heart. If he loved both of them then who was she to be against it. She would have to watch them and see how they worked together and how their relationship progressed because she had no doubt one of these girl, if not both of them, would be her daughter-in-law soon. "The hell you will!" Adam shouted. "I will not allow my son to date villain kids who are no better then their parents!" He shouted and neither Ben nor Belle could believe what had just come out of his mouth.
Mal and Evie felt tears gather in their eyes. It seemed no matter how much they tried they would always be seen as their parents children, even though they saved the Kingdom from Maleficent. The two girls shared a glance at each other before they released Ben's hands, grabbed each others and ran from the room and castle. Ben's anger grew tenfold at seeing his girls so upset but he pushed it aside and followed his girlfriends out of the room, hoping to find them and calm them down.
"You idiot." Belle told her husband once the teens were not in ear shot. "How could you do that!?" She demanded to know and the sight of Belle so upset and angry deflated Adam a little.
"Don't tell me you agree with him." Adam said to his wife but one look at her face and he knew the answer. He also knew he was in deep crap for what he had just done. Belle hated it when he used his beastly anger and he had just done so against their son. He doubted she would forgive him any time soon for this.
"Yes I do." She stated. "He's listening to his heart like we always taught him to. Do you know those two girls ran out of here in tears?" She asked. Belle couldn't believe her husband had been so mean and thoughtless towards the teens. She watched as he hung his head a little in shame and while she wanted to forgive him she simply couldn't yet. "Fix this." She demanded before turning and leaving the room, heading the same way her son and his girlfriends had gone. Maybe she could help Ben calm the girls down, or at least offer an apology to the girls for what her idiotic husband had said.
