what clothing item makes me feel safe? Hmm.. it's a tie between Ian's T-shirt (that went missing on its own accord and ended up in the closet) or his oversized hoodie.

Just don't tell him about the converses!

[thesoulbound]

"I am going to make an effort to abide by the rules, but my girlfriend happens to be so very sexy it is hard to concentrate," Ian joked, giving her side a squeeze and her lips a little peck, "But your parents are going to be suspicious if we stay too long so get in," he chuckled and herded her inside the van.

He got in after her before they drove. Blasting her favorite music to make up for the music they would have to endure at the prom itself.

[pip-n-zippin-it]

"Well this is where we both struggle, because you look amazingly handsome in that outfit Zip" Erin smiled again, soon singing along and playing the air drums in time with the music.

When they got closer to the School , she admittedly started to feel a little self conscious, adjusting the skirt of the dress and checking her make up in the mirror "Do I honestly look ok? I know you're going to be bias but I'm starting to feel over dressed." Having noticed a few of the girls wearing more modest outfits.

[thesoulbound]

Ian had to admit it felt strange to feel the need not to disappoint a parent despite knowing he already had. He liked Erin's parents and while he would never admit it out loud, he understood why they were skeptic of him. Protective of their daughter. Most parents would be. And like most parents, they underestimated how aware and grounded their daughter were.

"Oh no," he smiled awkwardly when her mother snapped a photo of them and was eager to get out of there despite it all.

Deciding to play up on the gentleman role, he walked around the van to hold the door for her.

"Now with no parents around I can say, you look almost as amazing in that dress as with nothing at all," he snickered, amused at his own cheek.

[pip-n-zippin-it]

Breaking her rules when it came to her picture being taken in general Erin graced her Mom with a rare smile knowing other photos would be crazy later on.

Giving Ian a little curtesy when he opened the door playing it up until her parents disappeared back inside, Erin burst into laughter before giving his shoulder a gentle push "Are we even going to make it to Prom? Or are you going to abide by the rules?"

"Your dad is suggesting we have a bodyguard following us around," Ian joked. While he didn't admit it out loud, he quite liked Erin's dad. Both her parents really. Admittedly because it was fun teasing him.

So while he didn't want to disappoint Daniel, he knew of course it was way too late for a lot of the things he expected him not to do to his daughter. "You look amazing," he smiled at his girlfriend and held his hand for her. Almost making a 'I could eat you up' joke, but actually did refrain from doing that.

[pip-n-zippin-it]

Giving her dad a really look at the mention of a body guard, Erin just arched a brow as she mulled over something, taking hold of Ian's arm and resting her chin on his shoulder affectionately while talking to her dad "Well I'm sure Mr Fischer will be too busy looking out for Kevin and Carrie, but if we have any problems we'll go straight to him deal?"

"Okay, home by curfew though young lady" Daniel relented, before noticing his wife disappear to find a camera so they could get a few snaps of the young couple before letting them leave for the Prom.

"You look beautiful, honey," Ellie assured, giving her daughter a motherly peck on the cheek before ushering her out of the bathroom to go to her boy.

"Don't you think my van turning into a pumpkin would be an upgrade?" Ian quipped, patting the pocket of his black vest, "Oh, shit. I forgot the pocket flask in the car," he joked. Tempting destiny as usual. "I'm kidding," he whispered. Luckily they were interrupted by the ladies arriving.

"Ian! Don't you look fancy," Ellie complimented, seeing his red shirt under his black vest.

[pip-n-zippin-it]

"Mom you're going to ruin the make up" Erin jested after the peck, triple checking her reflection before following her mother out and down the stairs, quietly observing her boyfriend. Before breaking into a smile and approaching Ian, a little tease in her tone but never cruel "I think I'm going to have to agree with my mother here, and might I add very handsome."

"Do I have to get my cop pal to follow you around?" Raising a brow at Ian's joke Daniel just shook his head cracking a smile, before his attention was stolen by Erin coming down the stairs. His expression softening briefly because she looked lovely.

[thesoulbound]

"Well, don't cause too much of a scene," her mom teased. She wasn't too worried, like her father would worry more hearing their daughter saying that. "I assume you mean the Ashes would track you down to make you join them, right? Those girls seem too lovely to do anything bad," she shrugged.

Ian had just pressed the door bell when it opened impressively quickly and as expected - showed Erin's dad, naturally. "Ian-" he said before pulling the young man inside by the back of his neck. Not harshly at all, but clearly with the intention of having that dad talk with him. "I know to treat her well and keep my hands on her waist and stay in public," he nodded.

[pip-n-zippin-it]

"See they already have you lured into a false sense of safety!" Erin laughed keeping up the dramatics "The Ashes rule the school Mom, so you much as breath wrong in their direction and you're gone, just like that!" Snapping her fingers to emphasis their point, before reaching over for a darker lipstick that went with her dress better. Glancing briefly at the door when the door bell buzzed, turning around, holding her arms out for Ellie's inspection "My ride is here! How do I look?? Is it too much or??"

"Right, and make sure you have her back before that van of yours turns into a pumpkin" Daniels adds his tone still serious for the most part. Having been sceptical over the vehicle when Ian showed up in it after passing his test, taking a moment to step back and inspect the young man. "No drinking either!"

🤕

Does dying count as an injury?

Nails in the shoulder aren't to great either or Electrocution ..not that I remember that happening..

[pip-n-zippin-it]

"Now, Erin, I need you to listen to me," her mom said while helping her daughter with the last finishes on her hair. It was prom night and while both her daughter and her boyfriend liked to pretend that it totally wasn't their thing - mother dearest had a feeling at least part of Erin wished to go. "I know the expectations to get laid on prom nights are high, okay? But do not feel like you have to do such a thing just because of social pressure," she assured. Putting down the hairbrush and admiring her beautiful daughter. Luckily, as cautious as they were about Ian, he always did seem to be very kind to Erin so that was always a plus. "If you don't win prom queen, I am going to sue," she joked.

Having sat in silence for the most part and letting out the occasional ouch as her mom brushed her hair for fun. Erin arched a brow over the getting laid assumption unbeknownst to her parents that was no longer a problem they'd have to worry about. Deciding to tease and look over her shoulder so she could look at them fully instead of through the mirror "Mom!! Are you saying I'm like the other girls? I've already told you we're only going to cause a scene!"

"If I had any chance of winning prom queen, the Ashes would track me down" Lip quirking slightly over the joke, before glancing back at her reflection to check over the make up they had applied earlier going for a more modest look.
