How would Otabek, Yurio, and Chris react to overhearing a family member/close friend of theirs tell the guys' s/o that they weren't good enough for them and putting them down?
sure thing! Sorry for the late response
Otabek doesnât normally like to speak up
But when he invites you to a family reunion, you find he kind of⌠opens up when heâs with his family
Itâs sweet, and new, and you really find it endearing and sweet
A family member pulls him aside to speak with him, to catch up and ask questions and such, and he reassures you that heâll be right back!
Gives you a lil peck on the cheek, feeling happy that things are actually going pretty well
He watches you from the corner of his eye though, Otabek wants to make sure youâre not having an awkward time or anything.
So while heâs speaking with some uncle, he suddenly overhears some sharp laughter
And dread crawls down his spine because he KNOWS that laughter
Itâs an older cousinâs girlfriend
In previous years, sheâs tried to make some moves on him, despite the fact she already was with his cousin in the first place
âI never knew Otabek was the type to ask girls out on a dare, but he really DOES have a sense of humor!â She crows, and he can practically feel the hot wash of shame radiating from you
She continues digging at you, smirking, cackling, and despite the fact heâs quiet, he can feel his heart hammering in anger
He quickly approaches the both of you and wraps an arm around your waist, bringing you close to him, and you can practically feel his heart beating in his chest, loud and frantic with fury
Otabek is not one to make a big scene of things, even despite his feelings, so in a cold, threatening voice that sends petrified chills down both your spine and your bully, he speaks-
âI never thought Iâd be so grateful for the fact we donât have the same blood running through our veins. You are not part of my family, nor will you ever be. Youâre going to leave my s/o alone, or I will have to ask you to leave immediately.â
His eyes slide over to his cousin, whoâs standing at the other side of the room, and their girlfriend follows Otabekâs gaze
âAnd donât think I wonât tell him what youâve done. He might be oblivious to the fact you come on to me, but he still has familial trust with me. Youâre on thin fucking ice.â
You can tell Otabek was losing grip on his anger towards the end of his sentence, as he wasnât usually one to curse that often, but the girl pales, and quickly walks off
He wordlessly hugs you and mumbles an apology against your hair, and he wonât blame you if youâd like to leave
Otabekâll feel awful that the first interaction you have with his family and you have to go through this, but you reassure him that this wasnât your familyâs fault- she wasnât even IN your family, so he had nothing to worry about
Look, thereâs a lot of people in his family he hasnât spoken to before
But youâve been asking to meet his family for a while, and he canât deny heâd like for you to meet them
So heâs pretty disappointed and frustrated when he hears an uncle of his digging at you
This uncle he particularly dislikes, since thereâs been previous moments in the past where heâs tried to butter Yurio up, simply for his publicity
âHah? Youâre dating my nephew? He could do so much better- he could have lines of celebrities hanging off his arms and instead heâs got this.... nobody? Are you blackmailing him?â
Yurio is definitely not hesitating, he instantly goes up to his uncle and shoves him aside
The glare he gives him is SO fuckin killer, youâre surprised his uncle isnât dead on the spot
âWhat kind of fucking nobody is spilling that shit anyway?â He snarls his way, wrapping an arm around your shoulders
âYouâre not even fit to meet Y/Nâs eyes, let alone speak with her. If you think youâre such hot shit, guess again, asshole.â
his uncle is speechless, face going red, and youâre feeling embarrassed
Yurio isnât afraid to call this particular uncle out, let alone make a scene in front of the rest of his family
So his uncle is looking around, searching for support, and some relatives are mumbling to each other, but Yurio looks at them with a challenge in his eyes
But to his surprise, and yours, someone approaches the uncle, and the next minute, heâs left the party
Yurio suggests to leave as well, but one relative begs for you to stay, and apologizes on the uncleâs behalf
Heâs still a little salty for a while, but he appreciates the fact that his family has still embraced you despite the asshole
He doesnât leave your side for the rest of your night, and youâre thankful and safe
Chris is excited for you to meet his family!Â
He feels like itâll bring the both of you closer, and thereâs nothing more he could want
Heâs happily stringing you along with him as you both flit to relative after relative
Youâre grateful for his company, but you WOULD like to meet some people without his constant introduction of âThis is my lovely s/o,â followed by a peal of compliments and some innuendos that you found hilarious, but maybe not for introductions with his FUCKING FAMILY
So you say youâll meet up with him later, and that youâre going to make a better first impression, to which he replies with a laugh and nod
Unfortunately, a little while later, you find yourself the brunt of insults from a cousin of his
âGod, Christopheâs got his selection of whores whoâll bend backwards for him, and heâs chosen you? What, did you tell him youâre pregnant, or something? Got blackmail on him? What an idiot.â
Youâre face is hot with shame and embarrassment, and while you want to defend yourself and Christophe, youâre scared of this guy going to Chris and telling him off himself, or worse yet, telling some other relative that youâre awful
Desperate to get a breathe of air, and wanting to put some space between the two of you, you step back, only to back into someone- that being Chris
His green eyes are like ice, and heâs got a cool smile on his face, while he places his hands on his shoulders
âWhoâs this youâre talking to, darling?â He asked in a kind voice, thought itâs a thin sheet over an ice-cold blizzard of rage
The cousin stares at himin defense, as if apprehensive as to what Chris could do
Youâre not sure what to say, but before you can even try to reply, he snaps his fingers
âAh! Of course! I remember you!â
his cousin stares in confused
âYou were just leaving.â
Before his cousin can even speak, Chris is already gripping him tightly by the arm, and speaking in a low voice to him, too low for you to hear
You donât see him again later on in the evening, and Chris doesnât leave your side, but you can tell that heâs incredibly guilty and even a little but ashamed, and apologizes to you once you both have a moment alone
Not to mention he smothers you in kisses, and has you giggling, overwhelmed by love
Despite the cousin, the rest of the family is so kind and warm, that heâs just a spot in a sea of sweet and welcoming people
