Ok I hope it wasn’t to bad haha let me know what you guys want me to write for this Au! Xx

First Date

Golden Au

Fraser knew he had to impress the bedard sister with the first date. Hence why he showed up to her door with a bouquet full of flowers. He did make the bouquet himself claiming the pre made one’s are to expensive.

As Fraser rung the doorbell the nerves started. The door was opened by the one and only Connor Bedard. I mean it was almost Christmas time was he expecting him to not be there he thought to himself.

What made it even awkward was that Connor had no idea about the date. “Bud I didn’t know you were coming over” Connor said not realising the situation he had on his hands.

“Oh yeah actually” he was cut off by Connor pulling him into the house. “Where did you come from a date or something, why so fancy”. With that Fraser froze not sure what to say next.

As if on queue Minnie walked down the stairs looking as stunning as ever, or so Fraser thought. She was wearing a black mini skirt, white baby tee, and burgundy leather jacket. All tied together with a pair of black cowboy boots.

“We’re ya going miss Amelia” Connor teased still unaware of the situation. “Oh my god you are so dumb” she said hiding a laugh. “I got these for you” Fraser explained to the girl giving her the flowers. That’s when Connor finally put two and two towards. “Oh shit that’s gross guys, and you couldn’t have waited til new year so I could win the bet”.

“Ok we’ll anyways by Connor” Minnie said as she grabbed Fraser’s hand. As they walked down the front steps of the house Fraser sped up a little to open the door for minnie.

“Thanks fras” she said quietly her cheeks turning rosy. As they drove to the restaurant they laughed and talked the whole way. Fraser always knew how to make Minnie laugh.

They pulled up to the restaurant and Minnie could not believe her eyes. “Your joking, your joking I have been trying to get into this place for months”! She squealed with excitement.

Minnie was vegan and let’s just say Vancouver did not have a lot of options restaurant wise. Fraser did a ton of research for hours on end to find the best of the best for her. He did have to pay extra but he got in he had to for her.

There date went fantastic they talked for hours on end. He may have not liked the food but she absolutely loved it. It became one of there usuals after that. They drove home in peace, finally reaching the Bedard house. Fraser got out and opened Minnie’s door for her, walking her to the front door.

Already freezing from the cold evening temperature, Minnie was eager to get back inside and Fras to his car. But before that Fraser knew he had to go in for a kiss. Obviously he had to so he leaned in and they shared a magical first kiss. They knew there were many more of those coming.
