The next two weeks flew by in a blur. For Anna it was all classes and training and the same teasing with Gunner as they'd always done. For Seb well, it was a bit different but in a way he'd never trade. He and Anya had finally gotten comfortable with the change from friends to relationship material. Seb had made it a point to be seen walking the halls holding her hand and kissing her before class, within the first week the girls he usually had flitting around him took the hint and found someone else to flit around... namely Rae who obviously would not mind the extra attention.

Seb was struggling a bit though, he knew that he liked being with Anya and knew she felt the same about being with him. They'd decided to make it work... but her parents weren't going to be happy. Seb had already decided he was taking Anya to meet HIS family, HIS father would be thrilled with the relationship... Anya was from a Royal family and her parents were well off and had good standing in the courts. To his father, it would be the only thing Sebastian had ever done right for his family... but he hadn't done it for them and the idea of his father seeing it that way infuriated him. Which made it difficult because he knew conflict with his family in front of Anya would upset her since she didn't get along with her own family she'd want to get along with his... and he couldn't deny her that. His parents would love her, his younger sister would adore her... she'd fit in his family where he didn't. He wanted to take her to meet them this coming weekend while classes were out... but he wasn't sure how to broach the topic.

So, as usual... he used Anna and Gunner as his excuses and brought it up at lunch. They were all setting together, Anna between Gunner and Seb and Anya on Seb's other side.... all of them joking and laughing as usual. "So... I have a request... of all of you actually."

He gave Anya's hand a squeeze, "My parents want me to visit them this coming weekend, my younger sister's birthday is coming up and so they want to have a party for her at home... Since either Anna or Gunner will end up being my Guardian, more than likely, they should come and... Well... I wanted you," he looked over at Anya, "to meet my old man."

He grimaced a bit, "I don't really get along with him but I know he'll like you and I know my sister will adore you... Maybe it'll prevent a fight this time? Who knows..."
