I came over from you Ao3 account, and I wanted to ask if you can write a Luke Dunphy x reader meeting the rest of the family. And in the future is there anything you won't write? (Ignore my username my friend made it and I have no idea how to change it. Help.)
Meeting the Extended Family | Luke Dunphy Headcanon
Hi! My rules are here for what I will/won’t write. But don’t be afraid to ask :)
And to change your username, here’s a wikihow.
After you had met Luke’s parents, and Haley, the other members of the Dunphy-Pritchett-Tucker clan would begin to ask when they could meet you
From all the things Phil and Claire had told them, it seemed to be going pretty seriously and they wanted to see the two of you together
Alex more so because she wasn’t there when you met the parents.
So when Jay announced, with much prodding from Gloria, that he was having everyone over for a barbecue, your name came up pretty quickly
“I’m sorry about this,” Luke had said when he told you of the event, “they insisted you come. They all want to meet you.”
“Don’t be sorry. Your parents were lovely; how bad could the rest be?”
“Don’t say I didn’t warn you.”
And In hindsight, you should’ve heed his warning a little more than you did.
The two of you arrived a little later than the rest due to Luke giving you a run down on who’s who.
(You had heard many stories about his family and the situations they landed themselves in but you weren’t great with remembering faces from photos).
The first person you’d come across would be a Claire as she fussed over something small in the kitchen, she quickly greeted you with a hug before directing you outside where most of the family was.
They were all so excited to meet you that as they talked about what you could be like, the didn’t notice you entire the garden
Luke, however, just rolled his eyes and sat down on the patio in front of the pool with you.
“Give them a minute. They’ll notice us soon.” He said, looking over at his family. He was so used to their antics that your expression of confusion shocked him slightly. He never had truly grasped how abnormal his family could be sometimes.
Luke just rolled his eyes before turning towards the doors where Manny had appeared. He was the only other member of the family that you knew well, considering that you were in the same year group. “Hey (Y/N), how’re you?”
“I’m good,” you said, eyes still focused on the group huddled on the other side of the pool. You had managed to pick out a few faces like Phil and Jay.
“They haven’t noticed, have they?” He asked, looking amused when you answered no. “Hey guys! You know (Y/N)’s been here for a bit now?”
Their reaction was hilarious
(Luke had later said he wished he had recorded it).
They looked like a herd of deer in headlights.
Gloria was the first one to come over, giving you a hug before telling, or rather commanding, Jay to come over and say hello.
He did, begrudgingly, not wanting to leave his meat on the grill in case Phil took over.
One by one the others trickled over to meet you
Mitchell took a strong liking to you, as your sense of humour accompanied his pretty well.
Conversation came pretty easily, each of them wanting to make you feel welcome.
After a few minutes of subtle (but not really) interrogation, their interest dwindled slightly back into their own personal issues and they lighten up on you.
Every once and awhile, one of them drifted back to you and Luke and the questions would start once more
You weren't overly bothered by it, but in the end it did to Luke. He told everyone to back off a bit before getting some food that Jay had finished cooking
Overall it was nice, the family were as interesting as you had been told, and you were quickly becoming a fan favourite in the Dunphy-Pritchett-Tucker family.
