DISCLAIMER: I don't own Fairy Tail or anything else I make reference to.

Mavis POV

"Your parents?" I ask.

"Yeah," my boyfriend replies through the phone.

"But Zeref, I don't think I'm ready, I wasn't supposed to meet them until that party next month."

"Don't worry, it's movie night. They will be more focused on the movie. This is less of a meeting the family and more of a proving you exist."

"That makes me feel so much better," I say sarcastically.

"Please?"

Even though we aren't in the same room, I see Zeref pleading on his hands and knees looking all adorable. I can't get the image to leave my head now.

"Alright," I cave.

"Oh thank you so much!" he shouts in my ear.

A wicked grin appears on my face, "But only if you agree to meet Yuri, Precht, Warrod."

"But Mavis…"

"No buts, this is the one condition."

"But I… can't we… ugh, fine."

Yes, it worked. Yuri, Precht, and Warrod are members of the Magnolia Police Force, which I do some consulting for. We like to call ourselves the Fairy Tail gang, based off the place we solved our first case at together. They've been wanting to meet Zeref for a while now, but Zeref has been too scared. I can't blame him (they tend to be over-protective), but he has to meet them at some point and I'm done stalling.

"Great, see you Friday," I say in as sweet a voice as possible.

I hang up the phone, crashing on my bed, facing the ceiling. I wonder what Zeref is doing right now.

Zeref POV

She wants me to meet her partners in solving crime, huh? Well, I guess it's only fair since I'm going to introduce her to my entire extended family and oldest friends at Uncle Meta's party. Let's see how she feels after that.

"Haha," I laugh, "HaHaHaHa… HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA…"

"Zeref, keep it down!" Grandine shouts.

"Sorry mom!"

Mavis POV

I can't believe I said yes. Now I'm sitting in Zeref's car thinking of all of the ways of how I could mess this up. What if I'm too short or they think my boobs are too small? Well, that's more of a personal issue, but that doesn't mean it can't happen.

"Mavis," Zeref says, "calm down, they'll love you."

"You keep saying that, but so many things could go wrong," I reply.

"Such as."

"They laugh when they see me, but they all laugh so hard that the planet blows up."

"Do you actually think that could happen?"

"You never know!"

He laughs, "Trust me, they've kept my little brother around so you will be no problem."

"He set fire to a school lab once right?" recalling stories Zeref has told me about his family.

"Yeah, mom says that he gets his love of fire from our dad."

"You haven't said a lot about your parents, just that they live on the other side of town. Tell me about them."

"Well, my dad, Igneel, works for the fire department. According to some of his coworkers, fire has almost no effect on him. Grandine is my mom, she's a doctor and works in the emergency room of Magnolia Hospital. She said that she decided to do that because her aunt, Porlyusica was a special cases doctor."

"They must have been close."

"Yeah, surprising considering that Aunt Porlyusica hates humans."

I laugh, "Like a real life Dr. House."

Zeref laughs too, "Yeah, just like that."

"What about your siblings?"

"Well, Natsu is in college, but is close enough so he can live at home. He wants to be a fireman like Dad once he's down with school. Then Wendy is the youngest out of all of us, she's a senior in high school. Plans to go to medical school next year and become a doctor like Mom and Aunt Porlyusica."

"Wow," I say, his family sure has some big ambitions. No wonder Zeref went to the army, where he now has his own special team that are assigned the toughest missions. He plans to retire soon and work in the FBI or with the police.

Our conversation distracted me long enough for us to be pulling into the driveway with another three cars. I make sure to grab the bottle of hot sauce that I bought from the back seat (Zeref said that his father and brother liked spicy things). Zeref doesn't bother knocking and just takes out his key. When the door opens we are greeted by two cats, one blue (I don't know) and one white.

"Hey Charla, hey Happy, I missed you too," Zeref says as he bends down to pet the cats.

A boy with pink hair comes running to the hallway, but his excitement dies down when he sees Zeref, "Oh, it's you."

"Jeez, I feel so loved," Zeref says sarcastically.

"When happy ran to the door I thought that the pizza was here."

"Well, my girlfriend brought something ever better," he emphasizes the word girlfriend, and I feel like I'm missing part of the joke.

"Wow, she's real," he says looking at me.

"Oh course I'm real!" I shout.

"Natsu!" a man shouts from the other room, "Don't tell me that you managed to do something stupid already, I just got home!"

"Hey!" the boy shouts back, storming into the other room.

"So that's Natsu," I say to Zeref.

"Yeah."

"Why is his hair pink?"

"Don't know, it's his natural hair color too. Mom also has pink hair and Wendy's hair is blue."

"Oh."

We walk into the other room to see that a red haired man has put Natsu into a headlock.

"Call me old again," the man says as Natsu tries to wiggle free, "I dare you."

Zeref face palmed at the two wrestling, and I just laugh. The two men pay no mind until a beautiful pink haired woman walks downstairs. She must be Zeref's mother, and she is wearing jeans and a t-shirt. She just shakes her head when she sees the two men, but that changes when she looks at me an Zeref.

"Igneel, we have company!" she shouts, "Get up would you!"

The red head looks at the angry woman then scrambles to his feet, releasing Natsu in the process. He then walks over to the woman to try and calm her down.

"Sweetheart," he says, "It was just harmless fun."

"You had our son in a headlock."

"Yes, well…"

"I don't want to hear it," the woman interrupts.

"G…"

"Why don't you try to make yourself useful and get the movie set up?" it was phrased as a question, but it seemed more like a demand.

"Yes dear," the man said after realizing he lost the argument.

The man walks past us to a sitting area where the family is going to be watching whatever movie they've already picked out.

The woman sighs before turning back to me and Zeref, "I'm sorry about that."

"I don't mind," I say.

"Yeah mom, let her get used to it," Zeref says.

"Zeref don't encourage them," she says, "You must be Mavis, I'm Zeref's mother, Grandine, and the man who had Zeref's brother in a headlock is my husband, Igneel."

"It's nice to meet you," I say holding out the bottle of hot sauce I brought, "Zeref said that it was unnecessary, but I just felt it would be rude not to bring something."

"Thank you," Grandine says taking the bottle, "You have no idea how much hot sauce we go through, Natsu and Igneel practically breath the stuff."

The doorbell rings and Natsu goes running.

"Natsu!" Grandine yells after he almost knocks her over.

A few seconds later Natsu walks back in with boxes in his hand, "Pizza's here!" he declares.

Zeref motions for me to walk over to the table where Natsu placed the pizza boxes down. Zeref goes into one of the cabinets and hands me a plate before grabbing one for himself.

"Not gonna bring plates down for the rest of us," Igneel says.

"Nope," Zeref replies with a smirk on his face.

"Rude," Igneel gets four more plates for everyone else, "Wendy come on!"

"I'm coming!" another female voice shouts.

A small, blue haired girl comes running down the stairs, and thank goodness she has a small chest too. She jumps off the last step and walks up to the table to grab her dinner, after her father hands her a plate.

She looks up at me, "Wow, Zeref wasn't kidding. Hi, I'm Wendy, Zeref's little sister."

"I'm Mavis."

Wendy looks back to her father, "What are we watching?"

"Spaceballs," Igneel replied.

The three siblings got even more excited, but I just more confused.

"What's Spaceballs?" I ask Zeref.

"It's a loose parody of Star Wars," he answers, "but there is a little bit of some big movies from the time period as well."

"Do want something to drink?" Grandine asks me.

"Oh, Coke would be fine."

"She's definitely a keeper," Igneel says.

After seeing my confused face Zeref clarifies, "He wasn't too happy when I brought a girl home in high school and she replied to the same question with Pepsi."

I let a giggle escape my mouth as Grandine hands me a glass. After everyone had gotten two slices each (I got a pepperoni and a cheese) we head into the den to pick our seats. Wendy was there first, so she got to sit in the beanbag chair. Igneel sat on the end of the couch directing facing the TV, with his wife next to him. Natsu sat on the opposite side of the couch, leaving me and Zeref the couch that fits two people and is slightly angled so you can still see the TV.

Igneel has control of the remote, so everyone waits patiently for him to get the movie started by eating their pizza. The movie starts out with an explanation coming down in the same format as the Star Wars movies. The movie isn't exactly silent, which is to be expected with a comedy.

Currently on the screen, the bad guys are now in the middle of the desert. A group of there lackeys are pulling combs across the sand.

"Are we being too literal?"

"No you fool. We're following orders. We were told to comb the desert, so we're combing it."

I laugh as he shouts to the men with combs to see if they found anything. This movie is so funny, I wish I knew about it sooner. I look towards everyone else, who just so happen to be laughing with me. Wendy is holding on to her stomach. Igneel is wiping tears from his eyes with one hand and the other is around Grandine, who nuzzled up against him after they finished eating. Natsu is craming hot sauce covered popcorn into his mouth (which cannot be good for his health). Zeref allowed me to wrap my arms around his arm. He looks down at me before kissing the top of my head. There is no placed I would rather be right now.

After the movie ends the family says their goodbyes before Zeref gets to the car to drive me home.

"I could've just gotten an Uber," I say, "I feel bad to make you drive to the other side of town, only to drive back again."

"I don't mind," he says, "plus my room is right next to my parent's room, and the less of that I hear the better."

I laugh, understanding that he means sex when he hears that, "Well, you don't have to drive back if you don't want to. I might get lonely."

"Oh," Zeref says, catching on quickly, "I guess I would just have to keep you company."

"I guess so."

Sorry for the late update, I waited til the last minute and my internet isn't working too well at the moment. Also before someone asks, Spaceballs is a real movie that I recommend if you are looking for a comedy. Anyway, the next chapter is going to be a request that someone asked me to do last chapter, Romeo x Wendy. I was debating if I should do this when I first started, but then someone requested it, so I'm just like, alright. Okay, until next time.

Guest: I hoped that you liked my Zeref x Mavis, and I will try to do my best with a Romeo x Wendy. It is time for over-protective dad mode with Igneel. Also don't worry, Lucy's spirits are definitely going to be a part of this, somehow.
