[Matt, Mason, Keira] Meet The Parents

[Katy Alexis Sutton]

Kat wrapped her arms around her dad tightly one more time as he picked her up off of the ground and hugged her, “ Oh kitten I’m so glad you’re home,” he said with a big smile spread across his face. ‘ Put her down, sweetheart.’ Her mother said as she was looking out the front door. ‘ Her boyfriend is getting their luggage from the taxi,” she said with excitement. ‘ I can’t believe you brought home a boy. We thought the only one you ever loved was Shane. And that Tyson phase… that wasn’t love.. do you love this boy?’ her mom asked and Kat placed her hands on her dads shoulders as she set herself down. “ Oh wow.. that’s…” she said, scratching the side of her head. ‘ Well she sure is dressed up for him, that must be love,’ her father said, winking at her playfully. Kat looked down at the dress she was wearing, tugging at the sleeves awkwardly before she ran her hands over the sleeves. She had wanted to wear heels but Mackenzie had sent her with ballet flats instead. Better to take things slow. ‘ You’ve got some more tattoos’ her father said, lifting her arms again to get a better look at her. ‘ So… Katy, are we going to like this boy?” her mom asked, looking away from the window. Kat looked out to see that Matt still had his back to the window, no wonder she hadn’t figured it out yet. “ Well…” she said, before she smiled awkwardly. “ About that…” she started off, wanting to explain everything to him. ‘Oh there he is!” her mother squealed excitedly, hearing the door start to open. Of course he just walked in, this had been his second home every weekend and summer growing up, hadn’t it?

“……Matthew” her father said, with a look of confusion on his face while he looked between Matt and Kat’s mother. “ Oh my gosh..” her mother said before she placed her hand over her mouth. She broke into a bright smile, “ Oh my gosh!!” she said again, jumping up before she ran over and wrapped her arms around Matt to give him a hug. “ Matthew?” her dad repeated, still confused before he looked at Kat. Kat nodded at her father, giving a faint smile as she confirmed. “ Matthew,” she said before her dad looked over at his wife with her arm still wrapped around Matt’s shoulders. ‘ Really, Matthew? You slick son of a bitch” her dad said, going to shake his hand after his wife released him and gave him a hug. After all, they had raised him as borderline their second son hadn’t they? ‘ I’ll be damned!” he said outloud again happily, clapping his hand against Matthew’s back. After the shock had seemed to pass over them she smiled as Flyzik set some of their things down. “Thank you,” she said, placing her hand on the side of his arm as she stood on her toes to give him a quick kiss. ‘ Oh Matthew do you mind taking the luggage to Kat’s room? Mason will be here with his and his girlfriends things soon and I don’t want luggage all over the place, sweetheart. Oh my gosh… you two… I cannot believe it,” she said again, with happiness oozing through her voice. ‘ You know where her room is’ she said again, excitedly before Matthew took off with their luggage. Kat took in a deep breath and puffed out her cheeks before she clapped her hands together after he had left. ‘ Well I always thought you two would show interest in each other sooner’ her dad said before he offered a slight shake of his head.

[Mason Alexander Sutton]

Mason leaned over in his seat and gave Keira a quick kiss, “ They are going to absolutely love you. And if things start to go sour… I’ll throw Kat’s new boyfriend under the bus,” he said before he laughed quietly and gave her another quick kiss. He got out of the drivers seat of the rental car he had gotten and walked over to the passenger side where he opened the door for her. “ I’ll get our bags later,” he said, tilting his head towards the house. Keira had sort of taken him by surprise. For a guy that wasn’t looking to tame himself down at all, he had fallen for a girl who was by all means balls to the wall. She was blunt and in your face, and he knew that when they first started dating no one thought they would make it past a few dates. Now it had been a few months. And clearly she was important enough to want to introduce to his parents. In fact, it was probably a lot for his parents. Both him and Kat, the children who didn’t get into serious relationships, both bringing someone home. After Kat had been so serious with Shane, Mason was interested to see what kind of guy she was actually bringing home to their parents. Probably some douche scene kid. Mason lowered his hand to Keira’s, bringing it up to his mouth where he gave it a quick kiss before he knocked on the door and headed inside. “ Mom, dad” he called out, placing his hand on Keira’s lower back as all three of his family members came around the corner. ‘ Oh my gosh, you’re just as pretty as you are on the show’ Kat said as she walked over to Keira and wrapped her arms around her in a hug. Kat hadn’t had a chance to actually meet Keira face to face but she had talked to her a few times over Skype when she first started dating Mason when Kat was on tour. Plus she had heard a lot about her through Mackenzie. Mason made a face as he looked at Kat, “ Are you wearing a fucking dress?” he asked as he moved his hand away from Keira and gave Kat a hug. “ Is the rest of your stuff dirty?” he asked before he pulled away from her and made another face at her dress. “ This prick make you dress up?” he asked, gesturing to her dress. ‘ No, it’s not like that at all.. I.. just..’ she said, looking down at herself.

Mason looked over at Keira as his parents were oohing and aahing over her. ‘ Wow, you really are beautiful’ his mom said, holding her own hands down with Keira’s after she had finished hugging her. ‘ Are you sure you want to be with our son?” his dad asked, ‘ Are you blind?’ he asked, causing Mason to roll his eyes. “ Yes, she is extremely beautiful. I am very lucky,” he said before he walked back over to Keira’s side, standing adjacent to her as he wrapped both of his arms around her waist and placed a kid on the side of her temple. He rubbed his hand against the small of her back before he looked back at Kat. “ So where is this guy?” he asked, and right on time because he heard a figure coming down the stairs. “ Hey, nice to me-“ he said, stopping before he saw Flyzik. “ Holy shit man, what are you doing here?” he said with a bright smile before he stepped away from Keira and walked over to give Matt a hug. “ I thought we were going to hang out when I got back to the city, I didn’t know you were coming home to Chicago too man” he said, stepping back before he placed his hands in his front pockets. “ You’ve met Keira..” he said, tilting his head over to the beautiful woman standing a few feet away from him. “ Just wait though… we’re going to meet the poor son of a bitch that Kat is dating any second.” he said with a laugh after he looked between all of them. He made a slight face at the look of discomfort that seemed to be spread across Kat’s features. “ What? Did the asshole stand you up? Is he not here?” he asked before he narrowed his eyebrows. “ Want me to kill him, Kat?” he asked quietly. After all, what was brotherly love for if not for promises of homicide.

[Matthew Tyler Flyzik]

Kat had gone inside to go greet her parents and Matt had told her he'd grab their bags from the cab. This was probably the least nerve wracking meeting your girlfriend's parents could possibly be and for some reason he was still kind of nervous because... he didn't know why. He didn't need to be, that was completely ridiculous. Maybe it was just anticipating them being like, we told you so! After all, how many times growing up had their parents joked that him and Katy would fall in love and blah blah blah... it was just typical. And he supposed it was inevitable and expected in everyone else's eyes. Except maybe Mason's. Maybe that was why Matt was nervous, because even though Matt knew the Sutton's already liked him, he was nervous about what Mason was going to say. Mason was his best friend after all, and they'd gone how long without Mason knowing? Matt carried the bags up to the door, shifting them in his hands so he could open the door, stepping inside. Both Kat and her mom and dad were all standing there, both her parents looking at him like he'd just stepped off an alien spaceship or something. "Matthew?" "Hey," he said, offering a small smile. Surprise....

It didn't take long before Kat's mom was hugging him excitedly, and her dad was still letting it sink in before he too came over, shaking his hand and gave him a hug. Nothing less than what Matt had been expecting. He pretty much figured his parents would react the same way to Kat. "I know," Matt answered, agreeing with Kat's dad. It was sort of crazy. A good crazy, but crazy still. Matt finally was able to set the bags down, leaning down to give Kat a quick kiss before her mother told him he could put them in Kat's room. And yes, he knew where it was. Matt went upstairs and set the bags in the middle of the room, stretching his arms out before he turned to go back down stairs. He stopped though, glancing at old pictures on the dresser and stuck on the walls in random spots. Pictures of Katy with Mason, and Matt, a picture of Katy and Matt getting married... one of him giving her a kiss after he'd made her cry. Well, this was where it had all started, if you wanted to be technical about it. Matt shook his head, letting out a small laugh and went back down stairs, hearing Mason. As soon as Mason saw him, he seemed to be confused as to why Matt was there, but excited none the less. "I-" Matt would've have explained why he was there, but Mason had hugged him, talking about not knowing that Matt was also going to be in Chicago. Matt nodded, smiling at Keira, "Yeah, we've met, good to see you," Matt nodded silently as the awkward knowledge spread over the room, Mason being the only one here that was out of the loop. Matt even wondered if Keira had caught on by now, and maybe Mason was just not getting it because it was so far from what he would be expecting. Matt moved over to Kat, placing his hand on her back, grinning when Mason asked if she wanted him to kill the guy, "Well you could try, but that'd be a repeat of pillow wrestling 1997, and we both know I kicked your ass at that every time." Mason was older, but Matt had always been kind of scrappy as a kid. But anyways, this was the moment. What was Mason going to say, or think?

[Keira Nicole Scott]

Keira laughed when Mason said he'd throw Kat's new boyfriend under the bus if things went bad, "I'm holding you to that." She leaned over and kissed him again, and then pulled the sun visor down to check her make up in the mirror. She decided it looked fine still, and smiled when Mason opened the door. Keira got out, "Works for me," she replied when he mentioned leaving the bags. She was nervous as hell. She had never, ever met any parents of any guy she'd ever been involved with. Mostly because she'd never actually dated anyone. Being honest, Mason was her first real boyfriend. There had been a lot, a LOT of guys in her past. But she had never had any intention of being serious with any of them. They were all just dudes and flings, one night stands. Whatever. Nothing worth writing home about. She really didn't give a shit about any of them, or cared whether things were going anywhere. Some of them were so far off her radar of giving a shit, she hadn't even slept with half of them. They weren't even worth that. They were just memories, things to joke about later. Flower Rob. Skateboard Mike. Myke with a Y. A third Mike who she just called Bubbles. (Yes, she had a record with Mikes for some ironic reason.) There was also Bob the Builder, (she thought that was hilarious), one guy she just called 'The Meathead', and then there was Mason. Literally the ONLY guy she'd ever given a shit about. She actually wanted more dates with him, wanted to spend time with him. Was excited and nervous to meet his family. It was easy for him to break the record of her longest lasting relationship, because he was the only true relationship she'd had. He was seriously such a sweetheart, he made her want to be nice.

Keira held Mason's hand as they went inside, holding her breath until she saw Kat, smiling, "Hi Kat," and gave her a hug, "Thanks." Mason hugged his sister commenting about her wardrobe and Keira punched him playfully in the arm, "Oh be nice, she looks gorgeous," she laughed. Mason's mom came over and hugged her, complimenting her inherited looks, "Thank you," she smiled, laughing as his dad asked if she was sure she wanted to be with Mason, "Oh, on the contrary, I think you under estimate him." Keira smiled and wrapped her arms around Mason, giving him a kiss, and then looked to see the guy they were apparently waiting to meet. But it was just Matt. "Hey Matt," she said, looking at Kat, and back at Matt. And back at Kat, who looked uneasy. And Mason who was threatening to kill the guy who wasn't there but... Keira had a funny feeling about this. Because she wasn't Mason, she didn't have this preset notion of how how his sister and best friend could never possibly date... Andddd there it was. Matt was standing beside Kat, certainly looked like they were dating. Keira looked at Mason, struggling to get the picture. Oh boy.

[Katy Alexis Sutton]

Kat narrowed her eyes as she looked between Matt and Mason. Well it was now or never, and to be honest.. she wasn’t really sure if her or Matt really cared if Mason liked it or not. The entire time growing up the primary relationship between the three of them had been the best friendship between Mason and Matt. But now that they were older… was love more important? Surely Mason would understand. She loved Matt. Of course she did. She had no choice but to. And it wasn’t because everyone expected, she had no choice because of who he was. He knew everything about her. He taught her everything she wanted to learn. She felt more herself with him than anyone in the entire world. And she would have felt that for him whenever she had met him, she just happened to have grown up with him. She hadn’t told him that she loved him, but surely he knew. Right? Kat licked her lips nervously and then watched as the look of realization spread across Masons’ features. And now instead of looking between Matt and Mason, Mason was looking between Kat and Matt. ‘ You have gotta be fucking kidding me,” he said, looking between everyone in the room. His voice didn’t sound angry, but he did sound in shock.

’ You’re fucking my sister, bro?” Mason finally spat out, the anger starting to finally come out through his tone. ‘ Alright son, relax.’ their father said, stepping in between them. Kat watched as the tension seemed to build up slightly. ‘ I have watched that boy grow up. If anything he is making sweet respectable love to her. He is a gentleman. He brought in the luggage.’ their mother said, as though that was the end all. “ Oh my god,” Kat said, stepping behind Matt as this conversation started to unfold. “ You guys could have said s… when did this start? When did this even happen?” Mason asked, finally lowering his voice again. “ Why doesn’t anyone ever tell me anything? Don’t you think I would be happy for you two?” he asked, stepping closer to Matt before he lowered his voice. ‘ Is she pregnant? Is that what this is about?” he asked, “ Mason!” Kat yelled out, punching her fist against Mason’s collar bone. “ Ow!” he screamed out, rubbing his hand against his chest before he stepped away from Matt and Kat and made his way back over to Keira. “ I just don’t understand why this had to happen to me,” he said, like he was in complete shock at what was happening.

[Mason Alexander Sutton]

‘ How fascinating…’ his mother said, looking at Kat and Matt like that thought just occurred to her. ‘ You two have known each other all your life, that sex must be great’ she said with what sounded almost like envy. ‘ Mom!” Kat screamed out but Mason was just trying to block it all out. Gross. Disgusting. His little sister. He made a look of disgust, looking over Kat before he looked at Matt. “ Is that why she’s wearing dresses? Easy access? You two hornballs just can’t contain yourselves? Seriously bro… my sister..” he said, before he looked over at Matt, remembering the slap bet that they had made when they were what.. twelve? Mason reached up, jerking his arm as hard as he could before he slapped Matt across the face. “Slap bet,” he said as though that explained everything. He was already starting to feel a little bit better about it. He took in a deep breath and sighed, looking between Matt and Kat before he ran his hand over his hair. “ Are you two happy? I swear to God if this interferes with our friendship dude…” he said, shaking his head as he looked at Matt. How wouldn’t it? Kat had just knocked him off of his pedestal as Matt’s favorite Sutton.
‘ Well what about Mason. Mason didn’t get their bags right away, does that give an indication about his sex life?” his father asked their mother, who were clearly having their own little conversation about their kids sex lives. “ What?” Mason asked, paying attention to them for the first time since his best friend and sister revelation came through. ‘ I don’t know, I’ve seen the Glee show. She looks feisty. I don’t think manners are involved in the bedroom with them very much,” his own mother replied to their father. “ Come on…” Mason said, looking between them with an anguished look. ‘ Oh, kids. There’s drinks set up outside. Make yourself a drink, and then each of you needs to help out with dinner and it’ll be ready lickety split,” his mom said, before she walked over and gave Matthew a kiss on his cheek and another hug. His father was already talking about how gorgeous Keira was again before he turned to make his departure for the kitchen. “ Come with me,” he said, kissing her again before he lowered his hand to Keira’s and wrapped his fingers around hers. He glared at Matt and Katy as he walked past them, taking Keira outside so he could show her the treehouse that the three of them had grown up with before grabbing two bottles of beer with his free hand.
