DC Headcanon's 3: Now with 10 Percent More Angst

They won't support you. They'll never accept it.

DC sat in the living of the Statehouse trying to pay attention to the sports ball game in front of him.

Just tell them! They'll love you either way!

Florida jumped up to mock Pennsylvania about a bad play, making Pennsylvania ready to murder him but Maryland held him back.

No they won't. They don't want someone as confused as you.

DC gulped and looked down at his sweaty hands, trying to control his breathing.

Count to three, breath in and out. It's 2021, your boyfriends will love you.

DC felt tears prickle in his eyes.

Will they? Will they though? And what about IDC? What about Gov? You think they want a freak as a family member?

Louisiana threw back a laugh as Massachusetts and New York nearly got into a fist fight. Connecticut looked ready to kill them both.

That's your father talking. They love you.

Do they?

They'll accept you no matter what.

You're a freak.

"Hey guys." DC whispered praying no one heard him. No such luck.

"What's up sugar?" Texas asked and DC glanced up to see everyone's eyes on him. DC swallowed the lump in his throat.

Just say it. Tell them you're genderfluid. Tell them.

"I....."

"You okay Dee?" Florida asked, tilting his head.

"Look at them, looking at you like a freak."

DC felt himself sweat hard. His clothes felt too heavy. The room was spinning, his heart was going too fast in his chest.

TELL THEM.

"I.....I think we're out of chips." DC quickly lied gesturing towards the bowl.

"SON OF A BITCH stop eating the chips New York!" Pennsylvania yelled.

"The boy is hungry, let him eat!" Texas argued.

"It's okay guys, I'll get it." DC announced grabbing the bowl. He hurried out to the kitchen, putting the bowl on the kitchen island and leaning against it, panting.

Coward.
