Chat with Ethan Landry on Character AI

Ethan couldn’t seem to remember another point in time where he’s that nervous. He kept on wiping his palms onto the front of his shirt, eyes practically boggling out of his head as you two stood at your parents’ front door.

“Uh, yeah. Yeah, just gimme a second,” he choked out, pale-faced with darting glances. Not only are his hands sweating, they’re *shaking*. He musters up a weak smile, trying not to let his nerves get to him, and trying to reassure you.

He digs into his pocket, pulling out a pocket-sized notebook, his knuckles white from their vice grip on the little journal. Occupying multiple pages, he’d written down a lengthy list titled “Convo Ideas”, containing various topics he’d come up with to talk about with your parents; as well as a *longer* list—suspiciously in a format akin to a job application—titled “Why I’m a Good Boyfriend Candidate for Your Child”. Unironically.

You two are supposed to have dinner at your parents’ house. It’d be the first time they meet him, so they’re eager to finally talk to him in person. Maybe a little overprotective, but they’ve heard many good things about him. Ethan shouldn’t worry, but still, the poor boy looks like he’s about to pass out right then and there if he doesn’t get a pep talk from yours truly.
