"Deanna?" Taehyung came up behind his girlfriend, who was cooking in the kitchen, wrapping his arms around her waist and resting his chin on her shoulder.

"Mmm?"

"Do you want to meet the rest of my family today? My sister called me earlier and said they want to meet you,"

"Um, TaeTae.. I.. Um..."

Taehyung sighed and gently pulled away from her. He loved her with all his heart and wanted to show her off to his brothers, but he knew she was a really shy person. He respected that she was nervous and didn't want to force her.

Deanna watched as he gave her a sad smile and left the room. She did want to meet the family that he loved so much, but she was terrified. She had heard all sorts of stories about the three brothers, and although she had fallen in love with the goofy Taehyung, she had seen him lose his temper once, and it scared her. She knew that he would never hurt her, but she also knew that his brother's tempers were worse.

She had met Jungkook, however, as he spent a lot of time with Taehyung, and even though he barely spoke, he scared her. Knowing that the pair of them were extremely respectful of their oldest brother (and the fact that they told her that he was the worst out of the three of them), she was terrified of meeting him.

However, she loved Taehyung and knew that she was hurting him by not meeting those that he cherished.

"TaeTae?" She called, placing the knife on the counter and heading out of the room to look for him, "Tae?"

"I'm here," He called from the sofa, and she headed over to him, smiling when she saw that he was watching one of the dramas that he liked.

"I'll meet them," She said as she stood over him, "As long as you don't leave me by myself,"

Taehyung's grin was immediate and he grabbed her by her waist, tugging her hard onto his lap and holding her tightly against him, "Thank you!" 

***

Deanna waited nervously behind Taehyung as he knocked on the door; he had forgotten his keys again.

The door was opened by a pretty girl with black hair, who hugged him and then peeked around him, "Is this Deanna?" She pushed him to the side to get a better look.

"Don't push me, brat," He growled, grabbing her in a bear hug. She fought against him, smacking his arms until he finally let go; her hair a mess.

"Tae, you're such a bully!" She cried, "You better not treat your girlfriend like this, or I'll kick your ass!" She turned to Deanna, fixing her hair and smiling, "I'm Daisy, Taehyung's sister. Nice to meet you!"

"Nice to meet you," Deanna's reply was quiet, and she was blushing from nervousness. Taehyung wrapped his arm around her, pulling her gently but firmly into the house.

"Everyone's in the garden," Daisy said, walking ahead of them, "BBQ!"

"Ah, yes!" Taehyung cheered, making Deanna smile, "BBQ!"

As he pulled her through the house, she saw Jungkook, who smiled at her as she walked past. She felt a little better, knowing that someone she was familiar with was there - even though he scared her a bit.

"Hey guys!" Taehyung called when they reached the garden, and the two men who were stood around a BBQ turned to face them.

"This your girlfriend?" One of them stepped up to them and Deanna shrank back into Taehyung's body. His whole demeanour was terrifying!

"Yeah. Hyung, this is Deanna. Deanna, this is my older brother, Jimin,"

"Nice to me- Ow!" Jimin was thrown sideways as a small blonde crashed into him hard. He staggered, trying to keep on his feet, making the other man and Taehyung laugh.

"You're scaring her, you big bully, stop being so mean,"

"I'm not being mean!" Jimin cried, "This is just my face, I can't help how I was born!"

The girl ignored him and offered her hand to Deanna, "Hi! I'm Bee! I'm Jimin's girlfriend," She looked over at him, and he rolled his eyes, taking a step back with his hands raised, "Ignore him, he isn't as bad as he looks,"

Taehyung nodded, leaning down to Deanna's ear, "She's right. Bee is the scariest one here. She controls all of us with an iron fis- Ow! Why did you hit me?! Hyung's not the bully, you are!"

"Don't say mean things about me," Bee huffed, tugging Deanna out of Taehyung's arms, "I'm not scary at all. Anyway, the quiet guy by the BBQ is Yoongi, he's Daisy's boyfriend and a close friend of the family. He's also not as bad as he looks. Come on, let's go and have a drink with Daisy, leave the boys to the manly things, like cooking on the BBQ and flexing,"

Both Jimin and Taehyung grinned, flexing their biceps, and Deanna couldn't help but laugh.

"She really is scary," Yoongi muttered, shaking his head and looking at Jimin, "How do you do it?"

Jimin smirked, "She's actually quite submissive when we-"

"Alright, I don't need to hear that, Hyung!" Taehyung laughed as Deanna was led away by Bee.

She got on very well with the girls, and once she realised that none of the boys were intimidating on purpose and were actually trying to be nice, she relaxed. Daisy and Bee were fun to be with and even managed to sweet-talk her into a shopping trip on the weekend without the boys.

When the night was finally over, Jungkook drove them home after Bee had gotten her to give up her phone number to them, and Taehyung was the happiest she had seen him in a long time.

"Thank you for meeting my family," He said, kissing her softly on the cheek as they got ready for bed, "It means so much to me,"

Deanna smiled and turned, wrapping her arms around his neck and kissing his nose, "They were really nice. Thank you for taking me to meet them,"

Taehyung pulled her closer, kissing her, "I told you they weren't scary,"

He guided her to the bed and laid her down, tugging the covers over her before lying next to her and wrapping her in his arms, "They'll look out for you, now," He said with a laugh, "Sorry to say this, but you're one of us, now. I love you, so they love you, too,"

Deanna snuggled in closer to him, "I heard that it didn't work that way with Namjoon, though... You know, before everything,"

He frowned, "That was different. He was an ass and he was dating my baby sister,"

"Okay," Deanna laughed, "Are you sure they like me?"

"Of course. And I love you,"

"I love you, too, TaeTae," She mumbled as she closed her eyes, "Despite you being a historical drama nerd and a bad tempered goofball,"

She felt soft lips on her forehead as she began to doze off and sighed, feeling happy and relaxed.

AN: I know the timing of this meeting doesn't completely match up with the story, but when I originally wrote this, it was quite a while after I had finished the series lol
