ryan!

" i'm sorry. i'll try to explain when i can. "

your eyes were half lidded as you were on the brink of sleep when you'd heard those words. forcing yourself to keep them open as you looked up at anna, who had already been guiltily / nervously looking at you , you couldn't help but soften. humming, you shifted your position in the bed, giving anna more room to move closer, settling with your leg laying on top of her pelvis while her hands rested under her head and on top of your calf.

" it's okay, i know you will. "

the morning of thanksgiving had been peaceful. although you still got the occasional glance whenever anton had tried to gain your attention, most of the avoidance from anna had seemed to calm. and thank god for mila it did because she had enough on her plate. since the clock struck 9 in the morning, mila had begun to prepare for the dinner feast, and the second you and anna had finished breakfast, you both were recruited. from prepping the seasonings and checking the temperature of the turkey to mixing the mashed potatoes, everything that you could do was done.

" move it fatass. "

anna grumbled, nudging her brother to the side as she rushed to put the platter of roasted potatoes on the table, followed by you putting the platter of mac and cheese near it. you couldn't help but place hand on your stomach while leaning your head on anna's shoulder and playfully whine about being hungry, eliciting a chuckle and a flick on your forehead out of her.

before you could turn back to the kitchen, the sound of the doorbell ringing got the attention of everyone. with bickering about the responsibility of the door being passed around, dean finally stepped in, quieting both anna and anton before opening it.

enter the other lee family! it didn't take long for sohee to get comfy with anton and grayson on the couch while his sisters, jimin and soyoung, chatted along with you and anna. grace had been kept company by all the adults and put to bed just as dinner had finally been finished.

" i think ant likes yn .. " " hm, you really think so gray? i think so too .. " " quit whispering to my little brother, freak. "

sohee looked up to anton across him, snickering with grayson as he kicked back at anton, a fight of footsies breaking out. it wasn't until soyoung shot her younger brother a glare that sohee backed down grumbling while anton smiled triumphantly. it wasn't until he met your gaze of amusement and disbelief that he bashfully looked down at his food, scooping stuffing into his mouth before mumbling to thank his mother next to him for the meal as an ( failed ) attempt to look less stupid. to his disappointment, once he looked back up at you, you had already turned to chat about whatever topic it was with anna and soyoung.
