Jason smiled back at Zeph's father, glad that he was able to see the man's face. "It's nice to be meeting you at last. I've been looking forward to this for a long time."

Mr. Aetai smiled, noticing Zeph's discomfort and misunderstanding it. "You must be getting chilly... unless that breeze is my son's doing?"
Zeph twitched and the breeze vanished. Mr. Aetai smiled again and gestured toward the house. "You boys might want to shower and change; dinner is almost ready."

Jason nodded gratefully; the peach hadn't begun to fill him up.
"Yes, sir. Thank you." He started to head back toward the house, looking over his shoulder at Zeph and waiting for him to follow.

Zeph looked at his father, his stomach tight. Jason might have been hungry, but he didn't think he could eat a bite. He forced his shoulders back and followed Jason eagerly, glad to get away from his father. He slipped beside Jason, but waited until they were out of his father's sight before slipping a hand into his.
"That could have been much worse..." he said softly, putting his forehead on Jason's shoulder.

Jason nodded, clasping Zeph's hand gently. He wondered whether Zeph's mother and other brothers would be as welcoming as his father had been. "Are you okay?"

"I don't think I'm going to be able to eat dinner," he mumbled truthfully. "I'll blame what happened at the beach."
Euros had already, in his own way, expressed approval... Notos might be questionable since he had been at Dunehelden the entire year... Boreas was a wildcard who might be nasty just to irritate Zeph. Euros had been surprisingly kind, seeing as he usually did everything he could to make Zephyros' life miserable. ...Maybe he felt their parents were going to do enough...
Or maybe they were becoming a bit more friendly? Zeph kind of hoped so... much fun as it was to torture his brother, it would be better to have more than two people to turn to for... well, anything.

Jason walked alongside Zeph in silence, lost in thought. This was going very well so far... Euros had seemed to approve of him, in a way... he at least hadn't really seemed to mind him much. Zeph's father had seemed to warm up to him immediately. He wished he knew what to expect from the rest of Zeph's family. Then again... with no expectations, it was hard to feel disappointment if something went wrong. And it made good experiences all the better.

Zeph just sighed, walking as close to Jason as he could without tripping himself or the werewolf. Trying to think of ways to make this day go any better... maybe better to keep his family AWAY from himself and Jason...
They reached Jason's room and he got a disappointed look, glancing between the door and his boyfriend. He really didn't WANT to let go of Jason, but he knew Jason was hungry and going to dinner in swimtrunks would not be acceptable...

Jason reluctantly slipped away from Zeph, laying one hand on the doorknob and keeping the other inside Zeph's for a few moments.
"I'll be right back," he assured the mage, ducking into his room to change into some dry clothes. He re-emerged quickly, smiling at Zeph and taking his hand again.

Zeph blinked in surprise, "I can't change that fast. I didn't even have time to get back to my room."
He squeezed Jason's hand, smiling and appreciative that Jason had picked up on his discomfort. He had, actually, started heading toward his room when Jason had slipped into his... and Zeph didn't have to dig his clothes out of a suitcase, either.

Jason smiled and squeezed Zeph's hand. "You should go get dressed... we don't want to keep your family waiting."

Zephyros nodded, though he still paused. Drag Jason with him or let him wait here...
Footsteps nearby made up his mind for him quickly and he gently pulled Jason with him, pulling him into his... horrible, awful, extremely green room. He closed the door behind them and dug through his dresser for some clean clothes. "Just sit on the bed, I'll change in the bathroom. Won't be too long."

Jason blinked as Zeph pulled him into his bedroom; it was like standing inside of an emerald. He sat down on the bed, wondering how Zeph could stand being in this ridiculously verdant room for long without getting a headache. He held his tongue, waiting patiently for Zeph to change.

Zeph came back fairly quickly, raking his hair back from his face... Maybe he did need that haircut.
"It's disgusting, isn't it? I'm about to just paint it myself except... yeah. I'm broke. Which is not something I am used to. Euros' room isn't nearly so bad. Or... wasn't..." he grinned, flushing a little. "I am a bit sorry about putting him in the basement for so long..."

Jason grinned as he stood up again. "I wouldn't mind having a completely blue room. But green is kind of overpowering. What color is Boreas' room?" he asked curiously.

"Purple...ish. It's far more muted. I think my parents choose the most eye-catching green they could and threw it on the walls," Zeph grumbled. "Even Notos' RED room is better than this. It's... tasteful. This makes me want to throw a bucket of grey paint on the walls. I miss the dorms at Dunehelden when I'm in this room. And I loathe tight quarters usually."
He sneered at the walls, wrinkling his nose. Sighing, he embraced Jason and put his head on his shoulder with closed eyes. "No cuddling or anything at the table... Mother doesn't need more amunition against you being here. I had to fight tooth and nail to get her permission... please don't let her scare you away. Or at least let me go with you if she does..."

Jason cuddled Zeph quietly, murmuring in reply. "Don't worry, I'll keep myself to myself. Though I really don't know if my parents would approve of me bringing home a boyfriend... they freaked out badly enough when I came out to them in the frst place. Thank goodness I have two understanding sisters," he sighed.

"I'll just buy a hotel and we can stay there. Your sisters can come too if they want," Zeph mumbled, still hugging Jason close. Finally, he pulled away, tucking a piece of his hair back behind his ear again.
"We should go... Otherwise we'll be late."

Jason nodded, stepping back a little reluctantly to give Zeph some personal space and looking back up the hallway toward the dining area. "Here's hoping it goes well."

Zephyros was fuming as he led Jason from the hall. He hadn't eaten a bite at dinner, and was grateful for it. With how anger was twisting his stomach, he probably would have thrown it up. His mother's words echoed in his mind. How dare she speak of Jason in such a way. He clenched his fists and his jaw, trying not to let the wind he was creating outside become the storm he so wanted to cause. A snarl slipped from his lips as he continued stalking through the hall.

Jason walked close beside Zeph, his whole body looking and feeling agitated, hurt and upset. He kept his eyes on the floor, his hand in Zeph's, wincing as Zeph's fingers closed tightly around his.
"This is going to be a long three weeks," he sighed. "What am I doing wrong?" He couldn't think of anything Zeph's mother could have held against him. He'd kept from snuggling Zeph at the table, minded his manners, spoken nothing but good things about the family, the house and the food, and thanked Mrs. Aetai for letting him come in the first place... so what was the problem?

Zeph's fingers loosened around Jason's fingers the moment he remembered Jason's hand was there. He pulled them into Jason's room and immediately turned, wrapping Jason into a tight hug. "You aren't doing anything wrong... Mother is a good Catholic woman and utterly loathes the idea of homosexuals, and the fact that her favorite son is IN such a relationship makes her physically ill. I'll keep us away from her, okay? Or at least you... arrange for you to get dinner in your room..."
He felt how badly he was shaking and closed his eyes, holding Jason tighter. "I warned you is was going to be tough."

"You didn't tell me your mum was a homophobe," Jason mumbled into Zeph's shirt. He could see why she'd get upset at her son and his... preferences, being a devout Christian. But the thought of being loathed, to use Zeph's word, made Jason extremely uncomfortable.

"I did too," Zeph grumbled. "I also told her to shove her prejudices somewhere I should not tell my mother to put things. As you saw even if you didn't understand, that did not go over well."
He didn't move, still holding Jason close. "It's our life... who is she to tell me that I can't do this? If she says that again, we're leaving. Father will help me; we can go to the small villa he keeps for when he and Mother need to get away. It has a full staff, and everything. And it's much more private..."

"Sounds nice," Jason replied softly, smiling a little. "I hope it doesn't come to that though... I was hoping to make a good impression on your family."
