It was the week after. Espresso definitely chicken out to his promise to Madeleine and himself. Though, Madeleine never bought it up to Espresso since he will just get all defensive.

"The driver called. They're almost here." Madeleine said as he sits down next to Espresso on the couch.

Espresso leaned his head to Madeleine's shoulders. He has to admit, he's getting nervous. He doesn't know why, if anything, THEY should be the nervous one. He just wishes his heart will stop pounding so damn loud.

"You nervous?" Madeleine asked as he runs his other hand to his boyfriends hair.
"Maybe a little. I'm scared they might say or do something stupid. I never knew them fully as well even as a child and now we're going to have a talk. It's a bit stupid to think that this is our only conversation that doesn't involve my necessities. Well, it kind of does." Espresso said as he let's out large exhales.

Madeleine does feel nervous too. But whatever they'll say, he'll just use his power and name to overthrow them. He'll figure it out.

"I need coffee." Espresso said as he placed both his hands to his face.
"I'll go get it for you. You sit here and try to shake off your nervousness." Madeleine said as he walks to the kitchen. Only he knows what kind of coffee Espresso likes. No maid of theirs knows what Espresso's tastes are. You could say Madeleine knows it by heart, he can even make it with his eyes closed.

As he makes his lovers coffee, he's already thinking of threats he can pull off when Espresso's family makes accusations and threats of their own. He'll always be there for his lover even if it means killing himself. He'll literally catch a grenade for him if he must.

People say Madeleine is obsessed with Espresso but as what he always replies to them, "When you have your own love life, you'll understand." and more cheesy stuff which leaves the person he's talking to speechless.

He just finished stirring the bitter liquid and carries it to the living room without spilling. As he arrives he saw Espresso pacing back and forth whilst bitting his nail. Madeleine made a habit of slapping Espresso's hand and give him something that'll fill his hands. In this situation, it's a good thing he has coffee.

As Madeleine hands Espresso the mug, the door opened and was presented with dark haired individuals. It was Espresso's family.

Espresso sat down to a couch and took a big sip of coffee before setting it down to the coffee table. Madeleine invites them over as he stood behind the couch where Espresso sat.

Espresso's family sat across to where Espresso was sitting and snacks and tea's were served after. Espresso took one final sip of his coffee before Madeleine said he'll excuse himself so they can talk without disturbance.

"Stay with me." Espresso whispered to Madeleine with his eyes pleading. Of course Madeleine would say yes, but he distanced himself.

As Madeleine sat on the other side of the room, Espresso was waiting for at least one of their guest to talk. Though they look like they're doing the same. So despite being nervous, Espresso finally opens his mouth.

"So? Mind repeating what you said back at my office?" Espresso said sounding neutral.

Espresso's brother fiddled his thumbs and his parents nudged each other, signaling one of them to talk. Meanwhile Espresso's grandfather was looking at Madeleine as if he was just about to murder him.

"We're just here to apologize and repent in our errors." Espresso's brother said finally. Of course he's already heard that from him. He's waiting for the others to say it.

It was silence once more and Espresso was looking at his parents with glaring eyes. He wants THEM to say sorry and beg for forgiveness. But his mother just looked pissed.
