"y/n, what shirt should i wear? this black one, or this other black one?"
finn asked you on FaceTime, spreading his clothing options from Saint Laurent among his bed as he turned the camera on his phone so you could see his shirts.

you considered them, but you also just wanted finn to dress and be himself.

"finn, i wouldn't mind if you showed up in just a band shirt and joggers. i just want you to feel welcomed and just be yourself, babe. they're gonna love you."
you reassured your boyfriend, knowing that he was nervous about meeting your parents.

" thanks. i'll be at your house in a few minutes after i change. bye, babe."
finn said, and ended the FaceTime call so he could get dressed in his favorite band shirt, listening to your advice.

finn put on a snap-back, then got into his car and drove to your house, pulling up on the large driveway before walking up and knocking on your front door.

you heard finn knocking, and smoothed your hair and shirt before opening the door, seeing your boyfriend.
good, he took your advice and just decided on being himself with band shirts.

"hey."
he said before stepping inside to give you a peck on the lips.

"how do i look?"
finn asks as you close the door after he steps inside.

"baby, you look great."
you said, trying to reassure your boyfriend because he looked awfully nervous.

you heard footsteps drawing nearer to you both, and you felt finn tense, in which you held his hand to soothe him.

"finn wolfhard, the stranger things star."
your dad walked into the room declaring Finn's presence.

"that's me."
finn said, his voice obviously shaking as your dad walked closer.

"Sam L/N."
your dad introduced himself as he extended his hand to shake Finn's.

finn released your hand to shake your father's and to see the smile on your dad's face, you knew he was trying to make finn nervous.

"nice to meet you, sir."
finn respectfully answered, as he released his dad's hand and immediately went to hold your hand again.

"so, i hear you're awfully busy with filming movies and such. must be a stressful career. so stressful in fact, that my daughter could get pushed aside from priorities."
your father assumed with an intimidating face, and you knew he was now trying to test finn's morals and philosophies.

"no, sir i love to act. but i also know how much your daughter means to me, and i've never put my work before y/n. she always comes first."
finn defended himself, slowly regaining confidence and defended you as well.

your father looked finn dead in the eyes as he held his breath, searching his face for any sign of lying.

but he couldn't find any, because Finn told the truth.

your dad sighed, and began chuckling, putting finn at ease.

"you're alright, kid."
your dad joked, patting finn friendly on the shoulder.
you could hear finn let out a breath of relief, squeezing your hand for comfort.

your dad led you and finn into the dining room, seeing that he prepared a large meal for you all to eat and enjoy dinner.

you smiled as finn pulled out your chair for you, allowing you to sit down first and then he sat down next to you.

your father sat across from you two at the table, watching the way you two would look at each other, in a loving way.

even though you and finn hadn't told each other 'i love you' yet, your dad could tell that finn loved you. and you loved him.

your dad got to know finn well, beginning to make a good impression on him.

he got to know finn well enough to know that he approved of him.
before dinner eventually ended.

"dad, you need help with cleaning up?"
you offered to help clean the mess up, but your dad shook his head.

"no, i got it. you and Finn gonna head over to visit your mom?"
your dad asked while finn and you nodded, his arm around your shoulders.

you nodded, and your dad smiled thinly before walking over to a vase with freshly bought flowers inside.

he picked up the bouquet, and walked back over to you and handed them over to you.

"then give those to her for me."
you dad requested, his eyes slightly drooping with sorrow as he saw you holding your mother's favorite flowers.

you clenched your jaw, nodding slowly as you felt finn squeeze your shoulder for comfort, and to let you know that it would be okay.

"we will, sir."
Finn answered for you, and your dad smiled weakly at him as a silent thank you.

"before we leave, can i use your bathroom?"
Finn asked, his eyes flickering from you to your father.

you giggled weakly before nodding and pointing to the door down the hall.

Finn walked down, and entered the bathroom, shutting the door behind him, leaving you and your dad alone in the kitchen.

your dad stared at you with admiration for his daughter, knowing that you were growing up.

"finn loves you, you know."
your dad mentioned nonchalantly with a small smile, making you blush instantly and your eyes lit up with hope.

"really? how do you know?"
you asked with a smile.

he looked at you with glistening eyes beginning to gloss with a thin layer of tears.

"because he looks at you the same way i used to look at your mother."
your dad answered, a single tear now skipping along his cheek.

you clenched your jaw, knowing how painful it was for him.

you heard finn exit the bathroom, and your dad gesturing his chin for you to go with him, and you nodded, saying bye before walking out of the house to go visit your mom.

the sunset air was chilly and breezy as you rode in finn's car with the window down in the passenger's seat, one of your hands laying out the window, and the other hand interlinked with finn's as he drove.

your hair blew with the wind as finn would take occasional glances at you, knowing that he felt strongly for you. and that he loved you.

as you approached your mother's resting place, finn took the flowers that were resting in your lap.

"let me go first. i need to formally introduce myself."
finn instructed, before smiling at you as he exited his car, leaving you in the passenger's seat to watch him approach your mother.

he took a seat on the grass below him, facing her memorial plaque on the ground as he placed the flowers gently on her grave.

you smiled at Finn as you watched him practically have an entire conversation with your mother, introducing himself and much more.

your heart warmed at how pure he was, and how kind-hearted he was.

Finn then turned around to look at you from his spot, waving you over to join him as he stood up from the grass.

you took a deep breath before exiting the car, walking over to join finn's side, staring down at your mother's grave plaque.

"hey, mom."
you said, your voice shaky and pained.

the wound of your mother's death 1 year ago was still fresh in your heart.

you felt Finn's arm drape around your waist to pull you into his side to provide the comfort you needed.

he knew how hard this was for you, because he was the one you called first when your mother passed, and he's been with you through the whole grieving process.

"what did you talk about with her?"
you asked, your voice muffled in his shirt as you leaned against Finn's chest.

finn sighed, and gently began stroking your hair softly.

"i thanked her."
he answered, making you look up into his eyes with your arms wrapped around his torso.

"for what?"
you asked, your nose scrunching.

"for making her daughter. and i told her that i would forever be grateful for her giving me my girlfriend that i love so much."
Finn said, his eyes swirling with love for you.

your heart fluttered at his words, knowing that he's never said those 3 words before.

and you knew you felt the same.

"i love you too."
you said with a smile, before seeing Finn's face light up, leaning down to place a ginger kiss to your lips.

you knew your mother would've approved of finn.
