"You're the...?" Francis started to say, "Oldest." Quinn got where he was going with this. "You?" Quinn questioned, "Only child." Francis replied, "Not surprised there." Quinn joked chuckling. Francis pursed his lips together unsure how to react. "Quinn... What if I said I didn't mind?" Francis spoke up, Quinn paused before taking another drink of her water. "Mind what?" She asked, "That you grew up in a trailer park? Or if your family shows up with bathtub wine?" Francis spoke slowly moving closer to her. He saw the usually composed Quinn's cheeks turn red.
"I'd say that's a pretty mean joke, Frannie." Quinn said in response, "I'm serious." Francis stressed grabbing her arm. "Don't feel like you owe me anything because of today." Quinn said with a sigh, "That's not-!" Francis cut himself off and sighed. "It's partly the reason, but not the way you think!" He admitted. "I... I'm pretty traditional and... I've always been looking for someone to protect me..." He admitted feeling embarrassed, most other omegas scoffed hearing this and mocked him saying that he was setting back equal rights talking like this.
"I was so scared and you made me feel safe," Francis said grabbing her hand and holding it. "Even before the storm... It made me happy talking to you like that." Francis referenced his and her conversation before the tornado hit. "Please, just one date?" He asked determined, "You're asking me out?" Quinn was startled, "Yes!" Francis said with a huff, Quinn stared before groaning. "Damnit, Frannie." She groaned cupping her mouth to hide her smile. "I can't say no to you." She admitted. Francis smiled at her and then wiggled his way into her arms he could hug her. Francis felt his smile grow when he heard Quinn let out a helpless groan. It was then he knew it wouldn't be just one date.
He was right, one date turned into two, then three, then four. Before he knew it he had basically moved from his dorm into Quinn's. While not officially, he spent enough time there and had most of his things there. Though as close he had gotten with Quinn, she was still taking things so painfully slow. Even after almost four months of dating. They had only stuck to hand-holding and cheek kissing. She even had him sleep in the other room. Francis found himself wanting more. So while Quinn was stretched out on the couch once more, Francis walked over and flopped on top of her.
Quinn let out a grunt at the impact but instantly wrapped an arm around him, "Spring break is coming up." Francis announced, "It is." Quinn said slowly turning to him, "You should come with me to visit my family." He suggested. Quinn turned off the television and sat up, "I didn't hear you, what?" She asked, "Come with me to visit my family." Francis said smiling at her. "You're not going back to your family for a break, so come with me to visit mine." He reasoned, shifting around so he could lean his head against her shoulder.
With his ear pressed against her shoulder, he could hear her heart beating rapidly. He heard her swallow and then she spoke up, "You're wanting to introduce me to your family?" Her voice cracked slightly as she spoke, "Yeah." Francis said nodding. Quinn let out a breath, "So are you wanting to make them mad or?" She asked sheepishly, "Quinn!" Francis exclaimed, "Sorry... Sorry... Just kind of freaked out." Quinn admitted, "Do you not want to meet them?" Francis asked concerned, "No I do... I just." Quinn took a shaky breath, "I want them to like me and I know that's probably not going to happen." Her face was red as she admitted this. "You don't know that!" Francis tried to comfort her but it didn't seem to do much good.
Francis sighed, "If you're that uncomfortable you don't have to. I just wanted to spend some extra time with you. Not get my dads approval." Francis explained, Quinn paused and let out a breath, "Holy hell Francis, why didn't you just say that!" She seemed to relax, Francis tilted his head before his eyes widened. "You thought I was—! And you were okay with it!" Francis exclaimed with a red face, "I mean..." Quinn murmured scratching her cheek.
It seemed that Quinn had thought Francis was going through the first steps towards marriage. Getting parental approval and introducing her to the family. She wasn't entirely off base but... Francis had been surprised with how okay Quinn was with it. She seemed nervous but like she was going to go through with it. Francis felt his face get hotter and he smiled, "You make me want to do that now!" "Francis please, you'll kill me," Quinn begged. Francis laughed and grabbed her face kissing her cheek. "Okay, I'll have mercy just this once." He joked, "Thank you." Quinn breathed a sigh of relief.
