A/N: sorry for taking so long with updates.
Pink dusted off invisible lint from Greg's shoulders, trying to keep her hands busy and her mind distracted.
"Hey, Rose it's gonna be fine, I'll just turn on the old Universe charm and they won't be able to resist me." He whispered goodnaturedly, using the nickname he'd given her awhile ago and Pink sighed heavily.
"Please don't attempt to flirt with my mother or sisters, it will only end up horribly for the both of us." She whispered as she rested her head against his shoulder, clutching to him tightly.
"We'll what did you tell them when you said I was coming over?" He questioned curiously as he rubbed her back soothingly. Pink frowned, she had told her family she was inviting a friend over, though by the scowl on Blue's face, Pink knew she wasn't buying the friend card for a second.
"I said a friend was coming over... which isn't a total lie, Peridot and Sapphire are coming tonight as well." She whispered and Greg smiled goodnaturedly at his somewhat girlfriend.
"Picked the calm ones did you?" He questioned clearly amused and Pink sighed heavily.
"If my family wasn't so uppity it wouldn't be a problem." She whispered, Blue had been getting on her case about meeting her boyfriend, otherwise she would've kept stalling. But she had no idea how much longer her big sister would keep her secret.
"I'll see you at six thirty then." Greg kisses Pink's cheek before he turned giving her a wink as he climbed into his van after dropping Pink off two houses away. Pink sighed tugging on her backpack straps as she slinked towards her home.
... ...
"Mom can you please, please, please not call me starlight or any other baby names please!?" Pink begged her mother adamantly just before everyone was set to arrive. White looked up from the set table and scoffed at her youngest request.
"Why's that Pink?" Her mother teased and Pink pouted at her mother's clear amusement.
Then Yellow came traipsing into the dining room, looking irritated, but smiled at the sight of Pink and White.
"I make no such promises kid." The burly woman snickers and Pink groans loudly as White brought her close, kissing her cheek.
"I'll try my best darling." Her mom was obviously not going to try very hard it seemed. But Pink hugged her mom back anyways, afraid that if her mom found out about her sneaking out and Greg, she'd lose her mother's pride in her instantly.
When Blue came into the room, it was obvious by her steely gaze that she was pissed off. She knew who was coming, because if Pink tried to trick her in any way she was so ratting her out, whether her baby sister liked it or not.
Because to Blue, Pink's little crush was not nearly as important as her sister's safety. The blue eyed woman sat down without a word, Yellow eyed her in confusion and White released her youngest as she approached her nineteen year old and kissed her middle child's temple as they whispered to one another in hushed tones. However, it was at that moment the doorbell rang out, signaling their guests had arrived.
"I'll get it! I'll get it!" Pink jumped up rushing for the door in a nervous bounce. Her palms were sweating excessively and her mouth was dry as sand. Quickly she surged forward yanking the door open with a anxious grin.
"Greetings Pink." Peridot waves slightly as she walks in carrying some sort of gift in her hands. Sapphire follows, no gift in sight, but her girlfriend Ruby is attached to her hand.
"I do apologize Pink, but my girlfriend didn't want to be left alone, she'll be on her best behavior though won't you Ruby?" They both flashed her bright overly enthusiastic grins and so reluctantly Pink let them both in.
"Ah welcome, you must be Pink's little friends!" White greets the teenagers brightly and Pink groans in embarrassment.
"Uh we're still waiting on one more person mom, but this is Peridot " at the mention of her name Peridot held out the gift to Pink's mother.
"Hello, Ms Diamond, I'm Peridot, I brought you a gift." She exclaimed and Pink groaned this was a mess. Though her mom was intrigued as she accepted the gift and set it aside.
"Why thank you, that was incredibly thoughtful." White praised and Peridot shrugged.
"Pearl said giving a gift is good manners or something." She reasoned and Pink face palmed. She looked up at White's puzzled expression and quickly changed the subject.
"This is my other friends Sapphire and Ruby!" Pink introduced and they quietly waved and smiled politely.
"Is that all who's coming tonight Pink?" Blue's tight question made the fourteen year old jump slightly.
"No, we're...there's still someone coming." She huffs irritated with her big sister's accusatory questions. She watches tensely as her mom guides her friends to the table. Blue narrows her eyes at Pink before she too returns to the table.
When a rhythmic knock sounds on the door, Pink overenthusiasticly opens it wide. Greg flashes her a adorable quirky smile and she takes a deep breath before she sidesteps and let's him inside.
"You look great today!" He nervously praises and Pink smiles slightly at his adorable antics.
"Be strong Greg."
