Morbos has never been one for sappy dumb traditions, such as kissing under mistletoe or wearing matching pieces of clothing with your significant other, but most of all he's never been fond of the idea of his partner meeting his parents. Fizz had always been adamant about Morbos meeting his parents because . . . well because it's complicated. It's complicated on Morbos' side as well but for different reasons.
Morbos' parents aren't like him at all. They're disgustingly affectionate and loving and he'd never seen either of them throw and insult at each other like he and Fizz do so regularly.
However when he let it slip to his mother that he has a special someone she was overjoyed and demanded that she meet the gentleman that has won her little baby's heart.
So now he's in Erik's room of all places, freaking out.
"Morbos," Erik starts, "it's not that big a deal, I've introduced countless boyfriends to my mom and it's always gone alright."
"You're not even going to be there!"
Before Erik can respond the door is opened and a certain tall elf walks in.
"I heard angry yelling. What are we bullying Morbos over, now?" Farid asks
"Oh nothing, just that his parents want to meet Fizz and he doesn't know how to tell Fizz that."
"Oh, that'll be fun."
--
Morbos and Fizz stand on the porch of an old-looking house.
"Ok, let's go over the rules."
"Rules?" Fizz asks tilting his head, "y'know everyday you sound more and more like a mom."
"Oh shut it, birdman."
"Ok, ok, what are the rules?"
"No insulting my mom's cooking, don't go through the house looking for something to steal, and no messing with the cat."
"They have a cat?"
"Yes."
"Huh, how d'ya think Mist would react to a cat?"
Before Morbos can answer the door is swung open and a small tiefling woman with a long ponytail is standing in the doorway, beaming.
"Oh, Morbos! Sweetie! We're so glad you could make it!"
She turns her attention to the kenku by Morbos' side.
"Oh and you must be Fizz! I've heard so many nice things about you!" She says as she shakes Fizz's hand.
"Really?" Fizz says as he looks up to Morbos who's refusing to look at him.
"Why yes of course, Morbos has always talked about what he loves. Now, where are my manners, please come in!"
--
"Now tell me! Just how did my sweet little angel and you meet?"
Morbos cringed at the nickname. He worries it's ruined his reputation with Fizz even more but Fizz just smiles up at him.
"Well-" Fizz begins but the door is slammed open by a far more muscley and about a foot taller than Morbos, tiefling.
"Did I miss anything?" The tiefling asks looking very worried.
"No Todd, they've actually just arrived!" Morbos' mother says in her usual chipper tone.
Todd sighs in relief and kisses his wife on the head before he slumps down into the empty armchair next to the couch. The cat hops up onto his lap and he begins to pet it.
"As I was saying-"
"Oh, yes! Honey, this is Fizz and he was about to tell us how he and our lovely Morbos met!"
"Nice to meet you Fizz."
"Nice to meet you too, Mr. Gloombringer I assume."
"Please, call me Todd."
"Alright then Todd."
"Oh right! You can call me Tiffany!", Mrs. Gloombringer adds.
"Good to know, Tiffany. Now as I was saying, Morbos and I met on a job for the boss of a dino racing place which Morbos now is in charge of it's not a big deal."
"Oh yes! You've told us about you're new job and what a fabulous one it is!"
"Yes, indeed" Todd adds.
--
The night is going smoothly. Fizz has been getting along great with Morbos' parents, hell he even asked for seconds of the dinner. Morbos was starting to relax.
Well until a familiar voice screamed "Birb!"
Everyone looked over to see a small tiefling girl in pajamas clutching a stuffed animal in one arm and pointing directly at Fizz with the other.
"Tilly! What are you doing up?" Todd asks
"Tilly wanna hang out with Morbos and Morbos boyfriend!" Tilly says stomping a foot on the ground.
"Matilda! You know there's no stomping in this house!" Tiffany says, her usual chipper tone replaced by the firm mother tone.
Tilly crosses her arms and pouts. Morbos' instincts take over and he quickly walks over to Tilly and picks her up.
"Tilly." Morbos says looking Tilly in the eyes
"Morbos!" Tilly says as she holds his face in her tiny hands.
"Look, it's past your bedtime and you need to go back to bed."
"Don't wanna."
"I know you don't wanna but guess what?"
". . . what?"
"I'll tuck you in and Fizz will read you a bedtime story."
"Wait, what?"
"sleep over?" Tilly asks with big eyes.
". . . I"
There's an abrupt meow as the cat hops down from Todd's lap and Todd crosses the room to his two kids.
"That's a great idea, Tilly! Morbos, you and Fizz can sleep in your old room and your mom and I will make breakfast for everyone tomorrow."
Fizz and Tiffany look at each other then back at the three tieflings in a huddle of sorts.
"Yay!" Tilly shouts, overjoyed.
Todd claps Morbos on the back as he Morbos grows pale.
--
"Well, this is certainly a mess" Fizz says looking around Morbos' old room.
"Shut it, birdman. Just be happy my mom hasn't made it into her sewing room yet."
"No, I like it."
Morbos stops and looks at Fizz for a minute before shrugging and throwing a weak insult at him.
--
Morbos wakes up and reaches for Fizz. When he can't find him he sits up and rubs his eyes.
"Right, he's an early bird for gods' sake." Morbos mumbles to himself.
He gets out of bed and makes his way to the kitchen where Tilly is sitting listening intently to Fizz. It's cute. Morbos smiles softly at the pair.
"Ah, Morbos you're awake!" Todd says as he puts an arm over his son's shoulders and brings him in for a hug.
"Don't crush him, dear." Tiffany says as she puts Morbos' plate on the table.
Todd releases Morbos from his grip with an apologetic smile on his face. Morbos smiles back quickly before making his way to his seat.
"And then what happens?!" Tilly asked excitedly.
"Then it makes a big explosion." Fizz explains.
"Like FWOOMPH?!"
"Yep, just like that."
"Awesome!"
Morbos looks down at the two pancakes drizzled with syrup and begins to eat.
Maybe Fizz meeting his parents wasn't a bad idea after all.
