Summary: Slightly inspired by a Melissa and Joey episode. Nashi has to tell her parents about her relationship with Ur….
Pairings: Nashi/Ur, parental Natsu/Nashi, parental Lucy/Nashi, mentions of Natsu/Lucy, Gray/Juvia, and implied parental Gray/Ur.
Author's Note: Thank you all for giving me over FIFTY EIGHT HUNDRED reviews!
It had been six months since Nashi had seen her parents, which wasn't a big deal seeing as she was twenty two, finally living on her own, and can take care of herself ("Pfft!" Ur snorted. "What do you mean you can take care of yourself? You can't even boil eggs without burning down the kitchen." He then had to duck as Nashi chose to throw the saucepan at his head for that). Nashi's Mum and Dad had been on an S-Class mission that had supposed to take three years, her Dad bragged that they would have it done in a week, her Mum rolled her eyes at that and gave the practical assessment of a year….providing they did not get arrested.
Since they didn't, and the mission was not as easy as her Dad assumed, it took six months. Because her Dad liked to do things quickly and likes to surprise her Mum.
Therefore, on this quiet, summery, evening Nashi and Ur were making their way towards the Dragneel house to welcome back Nashi's parents.
"I wonder what they did," Ur mused, "do you think Aunt Lucy will tell us, love? She always did tell the best stories."
"Erm, yeah," Nashi mumbled as she tried to pry her hand out of Ur's strong, and rather cold (she was used to it), grip, "about that. Don't call me love, or babe, or any other endearment while we're at my parents."
Ur slowed to a stop and eyed Nashi with suspicion. "Why?" he asked in a very pointed tone.
"Erm….well….I have yet to get round…..you know…."
"What the fuck?!" Ur yelled. "We have been dating for three years! THREE YEARS! How the fuck have you not got round to telling your parents.
"Well I wouldn't have called the first year dating," Nashi muttered, "we just yelled at each other and then made out….a lot."
"Not the point!" Ur hissed. "The point is that we've been together for years, you're living with me for Christ sake! And you still haven't told your parents. My parents know! I'm half certain Mum is secretly planning our wedding. They support us, and no matter what my Dad said about yours, I know your parents would be just as supportive. So why haven't you told them?"
"Because Mum would be supportive," Nashi corrected him, "but Dad…..well I kinda want to date a breathing, living, human being. Not a corpse. Do you remember what happened to most of my potential boyfriends?"
"You mean the ones that mysteriously all got frostbite?"
"Yeah, mysteriously," Nashi agreed sarcastically as she shot Ur a glare. She had never quite forgiven him for being as interfering and overprotective as her own father. "Look," she said much more gently, "Dad is a bit sensitive. He gets all angry or upset over the littlest things sometimes. He just needs to be eased into the idea, preferably by Mum because he'll do whatever she wants."
"Fine," Ur rolled his eyes, "I'll act like we're not in a relationship so you can ease your Dad into the idea."
"Thank you!" Nashi sighed in relief. "And I promise as soon as we're home, I'll make it up to you."
"Oh yeah?"
"Yeah," Nashi said with a hint of flirtation, "now get your arm off of me."
Ur tried to not grumble as they made the last leg of the journey. He then plastered on a smile as they approached the small house that Nashi grew up in. every light downstairs was on and he could almost make out Uncle Natsu and Aunt Lucy in the living room. Nashi ran the last few steps and hurriedly banged on the door.
"Nashi!"
"Mum! Dad!"
Ur stood there awkwardly at the Dragneels embraced each other tightly. He was a little concerned as it looked like his girlfriend was about to be smothered by her mother's bosom and then he realised he was sort of staring at Aunt Lucy's breasts (not like that! It just looked they were eating Nashi and it was weird!) And instantly looked away, horrified.
That was when they noticed him. "Ur?" Aunt Lucy frowned.
"What are you doing here?!"
"UR IS MY BOYFRIEND," Nashi suddenly burst out as she yanked herself away from her parents. Her cheeks were bright pink and there was something ridiculously childish about the way she stood. "AND I'VE BEEN LIVING WITH HIM FOR THE LAST SIX MONTHS, AND I AM A GROWN WOMAN SO THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT!"
"…."
"…."
"…"
"Way to ease him in," Ur snorted.
"Oh shut up!" Nashi snapped. "I cracked!" she glanced back at her parents. Aunt Lucy seemed bewildered and kept blinking as she processed just exactly what happened while Uncle Natsu seemed to have completely lost his soul and just stood there staring blankly at thin air. "Erm….maybe we should go…"
"You just dropped a bombshell on them after not seeing them for six months," Ur said slowly, "and you want to leave."
"Yes!" Nashi said cheerfully as she grabbed his hand and pulled him down the path, "Now hurry!" she hissed. "Move quickly unless you want to be barbecued."
"What," Ur growled through gritted teeth, "are you talking about? Your Dad is hardly going to do anything right now, he's in sh-"
"NASHI DRAGNEEL!" Uncle Natsu suddenly bellowed. "YOU BRING BACK THAT PUNK SO I CAN BEAT THE LIVING SHIT OUT OF HIM!"
"Never mind," Ur said quickly, "RUN!"
The rest of the evening was then spent running through Magnolia as they tried to lose Uncle Natsu, who was in a complete murderous rage, as they didn't really want him to find out where they were living…..yet.
Unfortunately at one point they had passed Ur's parents' house, and even more unfortunately (proof that God hates him), Ur's Dad saw what was happening, and decided to leap out of the bathroom (yes, butt naked) and chase Uncle Natsu for trying to murder his kid,
Ur and Nashi were now considering moving somewhere where no one had ever heard the names Natsu Dragneel and Gray Fullbuster….they were having a difficult time finding such place though.
