chris and his brother are on a boston trip, but this trip was a bit different. it was different because chris' girlfriend was invited. chris begged his brothers, they excitedly agreed. chris was ecstatic when he got the same reaction from his parents. the only difficult part was convincing y/n that she wouldn't be ruining the trip. finally she gave in, once they got on the plane nerves started to crawl all over her. 

    "chris i'm scared, what if your parents don't like me? or your brother, or trevor. oh my god, i'm gonna cry." her hands go to her head, she folds over herself. chris shifts in his plane seat, "my parents will love and so will justin. and trust me, trev will love you." y/n sighs, trying to shrug off the nerves. "just listen to your music and read, you'll be okay." she nods and does just that, she smiles knowing that he knows that books and music always calm her down. 

"sweetheart, get up. we're here." chris' words cause y/n to shoot up, "what?" he grins and nods, "yup, the family is waiting to pick us up." she begins to put all her things back into her carryon, "i can carry that for you." y/n shakes her head, "it's alright." chris squints at her, "that wasn't really a question, i was just trying to be polite." she rolls her eyes and hands him the bag. her boyfriend struggles to hold her hand with two bags in his hands, but he refuses to let her go. 

    matt squeezes y/n's shoulder and points to the sturniolo family, she freezes and matt laughs. he moves his hand to her back to push her a bit, she finally continues to walk. chris grabs her waist and pulls her next to him. "guys, this is y/n, my girlfriend." marylou's eyes light up, "i've heard so much about you! chris talks about you all the time." she throws her arms around the girl, y/n tenses up for a second. hugs weren't her favorite thing, there was an exception for the sturniolos though. she brings herself to hug the woman back, "chris talks a lot about you as well." she smiles and looks at her son who's just sat there blushing. "okay, lets get you kids in the car! it's december in boston, you must be freezing." everyone nods in agreement and follows marylou. 

    when they unpack all their things, everyone heads out to the living room. "you know, the ice rink is open. we should go," marylou says from the kitchen. chris turns to y/n, "you wanna go?" her boyfriend smirks knowingly, "chris, you know i can't ice skate. i grew up in california, it doesn't get cold like that there." he nods, "i know, i'll help you." y/n wants to say no, but she can't not when he's giving her that look. "yeah sure, that sounds fun." chris' face lights up, "we're going to have so much fun!" she giggles as her boyfriend pulls her closer, kissing all over her face. "get a room." y/n pulls away and giggles at nick's words. "hey, come back." she shakes her head and begins to get up, "i need an outfit, let me get up." chris shakes his head and pulls her back onto his lap. "chris," she whines. "fine, can i help with your outift though?" y/n opens her mouth but nick cuts her off, "don't let him." she laughs, "sure chris, come on." 

   chris leads her into his room, y/n begins to sort through the many clothes she brought. she grabs a black long sleeve, a thick flannel. she also grabs jeans and scarf, y/n sets them down in front of chris. "do you like it?" he nods excitedly, "i love it! now go get dressed." she nods and runs to the bathroom, putting the outfit on. before she shows him, she peeks her head out from the bathroom door.

    "are you ready!" chris looks up from his phone and nods excitedly. y/n opens the door and throws her hands up. her boyfriend smiles at her and claps, "thank you, thank you. i'll be here all night." chris pulls her in by her waist, "only for me though, right?" she nods, "i'm here for all of you, calm down." he rolls his eyes, "what happened to me being your favorite sturniolo?" y/n laughs, "trevor's my favorite, you're somewhere in there." chris groans, "i guess i'll have to work my way up tp the top." he grins and slowly presses his lips against hers, they're interuppted by chris' phone goes off. he groans, pulling away from her. he grabs his phone, "alright y/n, they're ready to go." she gets up from his lap and they leave the room, hand in hand.

"chris, i don't know about this." y/n looks down at her boyfriend who's lacing her skates. "hey, you're going to do great. i'll be with you the whole time to help, okay?" she nods though her nerves still linger in the back of her.  mind. "come on, let's go." they walk to the entrance and she freezes, "i've got you, don't worry. try to have fun, for me?" y/n turns to him, his pleading expression now visible. she nods and continues out to the ice.

    "chris!" y/n's legs fall from under her, he begins to laugh at her. "you look like bambi on ice." she looks at him, frustrated. he begins to skate, bringing her along with him. her eyes widen, struggling to keep up. "chris!" he laughs and starts to spin her, "no, don't you dare spin me!" chris laughs at the girl as she falls into his arms, "there's no way you thought i wasn't going to mess with you. okay, now i'll actually teach you."

     after an hour or so, y/n is decent at the skill. she fell at least ten times, she would've fell more if chris didn't catch her. he could tell she tired and ready to go home, he gathered everyone else and they left. "did you have fun, sweetheart?" she shrugs, "i'm sore and cold. but i enjoyed being with you and your family." chris frowns and kisses his cheek. "i love you, we can cuddle when we get home." y/n nods and rests her head on his shoulder.
