Chapter Text

My parents are “smitten” with my crush.

Disclaimer: There is no secret relationship between my parents and my crush. This isn’t any weird shit sorry to fucking disappoint.

I (17M) am constantly at the mercy of my parents (40M, 40F) interest in a classmate of mine (my crush, 17M).

Okay I’m over trying to make this fucking thing look legit. I just need help because my parents really really like my crush. They’ve never met him in person obviously and I haven’t told them about my crush but I’m so fucking confused because they won’t stop talking about him and bringing him up.

They follow him on all his social medias and always watch his features on the news. (We’re pro heros in training so we’re on the news frequently.)

They tell me all the time that he’s funny and charming. And they would love to meet him.

Can’t tell if they’re genuine huge fans of him, if they’re weirdly into him 🤢 or they have the slightest idea that I’m (really fucking) into him.

I can’t take seeing them smiling ear to ear while watching him on the news or rushing to show me his articles. I’ve seen and read it all! They also send me paparazzi pictures of him.

Help.

Parents always know.

Your parents definitely know. My parents knew I had a crush on my guy friend because I actually cleaned my room before he came over… we’re married now. 🥴

Can we get more details and background context?

They know. They know and they’re totally teasing you.
