“Works for me,” Sol squeezed Joey’s hand lightly and slid into the booth with a smile.

(Np <33)
Joey rested his head on Sol's shoulder, wanting to keep close to him. "You're great, Sol. I'm glad you decided to come visit the shop while I was there."

“Me too, love,” Sol replied, leaning his head on Joey’s and sighing softly. “I am so grateful to have met you.”

Joey hummed happily, only looking up when his name was called for the coffee. He got up to retrieve the drinks and brought them back to the booth.

Sol took his drink from Joey when he sat back down. “Thanks, sweetheart,” he said, smiling and taking a drink. After they had been there a little bit, Sol glanced out the window and saw a couple familiar faces.

Joey kissed Sol's cheek gently and kept close to him while he drank his mocha, not seeming to notice anyone outside.

Sol smiled at the couple outside but gestured for them to wait. “Hey, baby, this is a little sudden, but are you up for meeting my sister and her mate?” he asked softly, looking down at Joey. “You don’t have to, I just spotted them outside.”

"Huh?" Joey looked up, seeming a bit confused as he looked over. "O-Oh! Um… sure! She won't care that I'm… uh… wearing your clothes, right?" He asked, his face flushing a bit.

“No, she’ll probably think it’s cute and will try to embarrass me,” Sol laughed softly. “I really need to tell you more about Fey culture. You wearing my clothes can be seen as you accepting my courtship, since you are willing to have my scent on you. It’s a bit old-fashioned, but my sister is even older than me.”

"Ah… alright." Joey flushed a bit more and took Sol's hand, seeming a bit flustered and nervous, but glad to meet Sol's family anyway. "Are they coming in?"

“Yeah, they’re outside right now.” Sop waved to catch his sister’s attention and gestured for them to come in. Krystal approached the table, giving Joey an assessing look. “Hello,” she greeted in a lightly accented voice.

Joey moved a bit closer to Sol, looking up at Krystal shyly. "Hello… it's nice to meet you, ma'am." He said softly.

Krystal’s face broke into a grin. “Oh my stars, Sol, he called me ‘ma’am’. He’s adorable,” she laughed, leaning against the black-haired man she came in with. “You can call me Kris, I’m his sister, not his mother, even if I raised the little bird.”

Joey flushed harder and looked away, fidgeting with his hands. "If you insist, Miss Kris." He replied, still wanting to be polite. He glanced up at the man she was with curiously.

The other man gave a long-suffering sigh, smiling at Kris before looking at Joey and Sol. “Hey, name’s Alistar,” he greeted softly, holding out a calloused hand. “Forgive my mate, she enjoys embarrassing Sol here.”

Joey shook Alistar's hand with a slight nod, his own hands much smaller and softer than the other man's. "My name is Joey. It's nice to meet you, sir."

Alistar smiled and nodded. “You as well, Joey.”

“Now that we’ve been introduced,” Krystal butted in, green eyes turning sharp. “I must ask what your intentions are regarding my brother.”

“Kris, sestra, must you really? You just met,” Sol asked in exasperation, rolling his eyes as he gave Joey’s hand a light squeeze.

"A-Ah… um… intentions?" Joey flushed again, still seeming pretty nervous. "W-Well, I dunno… I like how it is right now. We spend a lot of time together. If you mean like… any ill intentions, I would never do anything to hurt him."

Krystal’s eyes softened slightly. “That is good to hear,” she stated. “But I feel I must clarify. Are you serious about a relationship with him, or do you see this as temporary?”

“Kris, please,” Sol groaned, rubbing his face with his free hand. “I care for Joey, so much. And he cares about me. Even if he decides one day that he no longer wants to be with me, that is his choice, not malicious intent. We are adults and can handle a relationship.”

"I-I think it's serious…" Joey replied softly, his face very red by now. He didn't want to speak for Sol, of course, but he would definitely like to stay with Sol for a while. He kept close to Sol, a bit of his hair falling into his face.

Sol hummed softly, a bit irritated with Kris for causing Joey any amount of distress. He gently brushed Joey’s hair back and cupped his cheek, pressing a light kiss on his forehead. “Thank you, estello,” he whispered.

Krystal watched the exchange with sharp eyes, but relaxed, leaning once more against her own mate.

Joey closed his eyes at the gentle kiss and leaned against Sol, feeling pretty small amongst all the taller people. He was also a bit self conscious since his legs were exposed with Sol's oversized shorts and hoodie on. "Mhmm…"

Sol purred, pulling Joey against him protectively. He knew his sister wasn’t a threat, he trusted her completely, but he wanted Joey to feel comfortable. He gently pressed a couple more kisses across Joey’s cheeks before looking over at his sister defiantly.

“Well, that was adorable,” Krystal admitted, tone and eyes softer. “I won’t apologize for being protective of my brother, but I am sorry for making you uncomfortable, Joey. I can see you care for each other.”

Joey looked up at Krystal shyly, seeming a little more relaxed after the affection from Sol. "It's alright… it's really nice to meet you, Miss." He said softly. "I-I just wasn't expecting to see you today." He laughed a bit, tucking himself under Sol's arm.

Krystal finally smiled a bit. “It is nice to meet you, as well, Joey,” she said gently. “Thank you for putting up with my worrying. We should probably get going, actually, Akali is guarding my sparrow and I don’t want to leave them for long.”

Sol nodded in understanding and appreciation. “See you later, sestra,” he said, reaching out to squeeze her hand. “Good to see you, Alistar.”
