Pairing: Ashton Irwin x Italian!Reader
Summary: Y/N takes her boyfriend to a family party in Italy for the very first time. He had met your mom once when she came to visit him with you in LA once and your dad when he was in Italy with the band. But now he has to meet your WHOLE family and it’s not quite what he thought it would be.
“Are you ready?” you ask when you finally made it to your front porch. You and Ashton had taken a flight early this morning to be on time at the family party your parents were having for your dad’s birthday. Since you and your boyfriend of three years lived in LA together, you had quite a journey to get through.
“I think so, yes,” Ashton replies as you open the front door. The two of you walk in, leaving your weekend bag in the hallway as you make your way to the kitchen where your mom, dad and sister are to prepare everything for the afternoon.
“Polpetta! (Meatball) ” your dad exclaims when he sees you and Ashton walk in. He wraps his arms around you before hugging Ashton too.
“Stellina (star)!” your mom then chimes in too and copies your dad’s actions. They ask you how your journey was, how LA was and if you wanted anything to drink.
“No, mummia, grazie. (No, mom, thanks) We kind of just wanted to freshen up and get dressed and stuff before the rest of the family arrives,” you tell her with a little smile.
“Ah, yeah, yeah! Naturalmente!” she exclaims, using a lot of hand gestures as if to brush you out of the room. You and Ash take your bags upstairs and take a quick shower together before getting dressed and ready for the party. He put on a simple red button-up shirt, of which he left a couple buttons un-buttoned, and a pair of nice, black trousers. And on his feet, his favorite boots.
“Babe,” he says as he puts on some necklaces while you were busy on your makeup. You simply hum, unable to say any words, “What does Polpetta mean?” you chuckle a little at his question.
“It literally means meatball, actually. But my dad likes to call me it,” you explain to him as you move on from eyeliner to mascara.
“Cute,” Ashton chuckles. He fixes his hair and his shirt, and when you’re ready too, the both of you head downstairs where a couple of family members already are. They greet you exuberantly, giving both of you hugs and kisses.
“Chi è questo? (Who is this?)” your auntie asks when you’re greeting her. She points to Ashton. You smile as you put your arm around his waist.
“Il mio ragazzo, Ashton, (This is my boyfriend Ashton” you tell her, “parla solo inglese.” Your auntie nods her head and glances over to Ashton.
“Nice to meet you, Ashton,” she says calmly, “Come here, baciare! Baciare! (Kiss! Kiss!)” she embraces him and kisses him on each cheek once. “Lui é carino (he’s pretty)!” she says to you, giving you a wink before mingling with other family members. Ashton looks a bit bewildered and overwhelmed by how full-on and loud your family is.
“What did she just say?” he then asks.
“She called you pretty,” his eyebrows draw together.
“I’m not pretty,” he says, to which you raise an eyebrow. You’ve laid awake, cuddling him during the nights he thought he wasn’t good enough or handsome enough to be in the situation he is in now. For a second you thought he was having another bound of insecurities. “I’m handsome. I’m a man,” he assures you, pretending to look very though.
“Sure, Pimpi (Little Prince), sure,” you say and kiss his perfect, acne-scarred cheek. The two of you mingled with the rest of your family, talking a bit and introducing your boyfriend to everyone.
“Stellina, puoi prendere altri snack, per favore? (Star, will you grab some more snacks, please?)” your mom asks you kindly. You nod your head, tell Ashton you’re heading into the kitchen for some more food and kiss his cheek before actually doing so. He seems to be just fine with your cousins and siblings. After five minutes of preparing the snack, Ashton walks into the kitchen anyway. He sighs as he puts his glass onto the counter.
“Wow, your family is loud,” he says, laughing a little as he leans against the counter, looking at you. You glance at him for a moment, eyebrows furrowed. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to offend you,” he quickly utters, eyes wide.
“No, I’m not offended. I just ... I never really noticed how loud they are until you just told me that,” you laugh a little. The loud talking of the people in the living room are heard very clearly in the kitchen, it makes you wonder how far their voices actually go.
“Yeah, I guess if you’re used to it, it goes unnoticeable,” he says with a smile, glad he didn’t offend you after all. He walks up to you and wraps his arms around your waist from behind. “I love your family though, they’re super nice!” he tells you and plants his kiss beneath your ear.
“They like you too, Ash. I’m glad you got to know them,” you say as you can’t hide away the smile growing on your face. Ever since you and Ashton became more serious, you wanted to come to Italy and introduce him to your entire family. To your loud, but incredible family he was now a part of.
“Ti amo, Polpetta (I love you, meatball),” he says in fluent Italian. You let out a loud laugh as you grabbed the bowl of snacks to take out to the living room.
“Love you too, Meatball,” you say jokingly before pecking him on the lips and then taking him to the living room again. You could just burst with happiness right now. This day has to be on your list of favorite days, along with the day you met the love of your life; Ashton Fletcher Irwin.
