 ~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
Way to go, mom.
Adi's eyes narrowed even more at his mother. What? Did she think that her few nice words would stop the sting? Gosh. "Mom!'' he said reproachfully. He was distracted by Benny's hand loosening its hold on his. He turned his head in his boyfriend's direction at the same time the Lion climbed to his feet. Great, just great. Indira sure knew how to make his life difficult at times. He really loved her but sometimes she was just too much.
"I was never going to get into a relationship with Divya,'' Adi said as he got to his feet, referring to his childhood friend whom his mom had hinted at soooo many times that she'd like for him to date. "I'm sorry it turned out like this,'' he added to Lukas and Cassiopeia, meaning the situation at present with his mother. "But I've got him.'' Hoping that Benny's parents and his dad could talk some into his mother, Adi hurried off to find his boyfriend.
He found him in the kitchen. The Puff (forever a Hufflepuff, yo!) quietly went up behind him, resting his chin on a shoulder. "She'll come around. Three out of four parents don't have a problem with us being together.'' It wasn't that they needed anyone's approval anyway. He wrapped his arms around Benny's middle to give him a hug before moving to face him. "You've just got to show her that you don't plan to break up with me and she'll eventually give up on being stubborn. You don't plan on breaking up with me, right?'' Adi added in a pretend worried tone with a facial expression to match. |
