Nobody Knew About Her

WARNINGS: nothing

stop I love this request it was so fun to write!!

The car ride was quiet with music in playing. The kind of silence that felt comforting. You were going to Cousins for Christmas dinner with Conrad’s family for the first time and they didn’t even know you. Conrad would glance over at you every few minutes just to make sure you were still okay.

“You nervous?” he asked suddenly, eyes still on the road.

You looked over at him. “A little.”

He smiled, reaching over to squeeze your hand. “They’re gonna love you.”

“Yeah, but… they don’t even know I exist.”

He winced, giving a small, guilty chuckle. “Not like I was hiding you.”

You raised an eyebrow, and he quickly added, “Okay. Not intentionally. I just… liked it being ours, you know?”

You leaned back against the seat, lips twitching. “I know.”

By the time he pulled into the driveway, your heart was thudding a little faster. The house was glowing from the inside — warm lights, wreaths on the windows, and soft music leaking out through the front door when someone opened it and stepped outside.

Jeremiah.

He grinned when he saw the car. “Hey dude! Finally—”

Then his eyes landed on you as you stepped out the car and his smile slipped into surprise.

“Hey,” Conrad said, casual. “This is y/n.”

Jeremiah blinked. “Oh… wow. Uh, hi!”

You smiled politely. “Hi.”

He turned back toward the house and yelled, “Conrad brought a guest!”

That’s when the domino effect started. Everyone came out to the front foyer. Laurel. Steven. Belly.

Belly, in her soft red sweater, her wedding ring barely visible, her face freezing in an unreadable expression the second she saw you.

She didn’t say anything at first. Just looked from you to Conrad, and then back again. “Hey,” she said eventually. Her voice was flat. “Didn’t know you were bringing someone.”

Conrad gave a small shrug. “Didn’t think it needed to be a whole thing.”

Dinner was… weird after that.

Laurel was sweet, asking you questions, trying to make up for the awkwardness with warmth. Jeremiah was his usual charming self, though he kept glancing at Belly like he was trying to silently figure her out. Belly mostly picked at her food, said little things here and there — polite but pointed. Casual but cold.

Like when you mentioned your job, and she blinked and said, “Oh, so you’re not in school anymore? Huh.”

Or when Conrad handed you a glass of wine and she said, “Wow, I’ve never seen him like this with anyone.”

The room would go quiet every time.

Later that night, after everyone had said their goodnights and headed off to their rooms, you and Conrad were curled up in the guest room — the one he used to sleep in every summer. You were still in his hoodie, your makeup wiped off, his legs tangled with yours under the blanket.

His thumb was rubbing slow circles into your arm.

“You okay?” he asked softly.

You hesitated. “I think she hates me.”

“She doesn’t hate you.”

“She didn’t even talk to me.”

“She didn’t talk because she was shocked,” he said gently. “That’s not your fault. That’s on me. I should’ve… given everyone a heads-up.”

You were quiet.

He leaned in, forehead pressing against yours. “But I don’t regret bringing you. Not for a second.”

You looked up at him. “Even though your ex was downstairs silently glaring at me over ham and mashed potatoes?”

He laughed under his breath. “Even then.”

There was a beat of silence.

“Is it going to be like this every holiday?” you asked quietly.

“No,” he said firmly. “This is the only surprise one. After this, you’re just… part of it. Like everyone else.”

You smiled, finally letting your shoulders relax. “Okay.”

“Okay,” he echoed, and kissed your forehead. “We’ll be fine.”

Summary: Conrad finds you in the kitchen at midnight to satisfy your latest craving.
