DC Headcanon's 6: Sparkle Sparkle!

Pride

Based off something me and Bitchyass_tacos thought up 

DC walked out of his office holding his coffee mug and yawning. He was tired but the paperwork had to be done, and he was still half an hour away from his next break. As he walked into the kitchen, he became aware of whispers coming from the living room coming from four of his five boyfriends. He decided not to question it, not wanting the headache, and focused on filling his coffee mug when a voice called to him.

"Dee!" Florida yelled. "Wanna go to Orlando pride?"

"Orlando pride? What's that?" DC asked.

"Our pride parade! We're having it this year." Florida explained proudly. DC filled his coffee mug and turned to face his boyfriends.

"What's pride?" DC recoiled at the gasp of horror.

"You don't know what pride is?" California said horrified.

"I've only been "out" this year, I really don't know what it is." DC pointed out.

"It's to celebrate being gay, sha." Louisiana asked. DC took another sip of coffee.

"Is that why Washington gave us these?" DC asked, showing off a bi flag pin on his lapel.

"Yes! Want to go?" Florida asked, grinning a chaotic grin. DC took another sip and clutched his mug.

"I don't know, I have a lot of work and....parades are crowded and loud...." DC pointed out.

"I told ya it wouldn't be a good idea." New York pointed out.

"Dee we'd be with you the whole time, and if it gets too loud we'll move." California suggested.

"I'm sure your sister won't mind ya taking a day." Louisiana added. DC sighed and fingered his coffee mug, a pit of nervousness swirling in his stomach.

"Alright." DC whispered. "Alright, I'll go with you all."

"YES!" Florida cheered, leaping over the back of the couch and colliding into DC for a hug. DC re-steadied himself and looked back at his other three boyfriends.

"So all six of us?"

"Nah Texas can't, he's got a cow about to give birth." California explained.

"Yeah and Yorkie has to deal with some Kudo thing." Florida added.

"Cumo." New York corrected, rolling his eyes.

"I've got state business too but dontcha worry, I'mma get you down for New Orleans pride." Louisiana announced with a mischievous grin. DC shuddered a little before looking back at Florida, then California.

"So just the three of us?" DC asked softly.

"We'll make it fun Dee, don't worry." Florida said with a grin, making DC swallow nervously. He wasn't sure.

DC was hoping for rain, but the day of pride dawned bright and sunny. He finished tying his tie and looked at himself in the mirror, already feeling the panic in his chest. He secretly watched YouTube videos of older pride events and they were bright and colorful, but also crowded and loud. The fed knew he was going to feel uncomfortable, but could do nothing to change his boyfriend's minds. He was going, no if ands or buts.

He swallowed hard as he grabbed his suit jacket, swinging it over himself just as his bedroom door opened.

"Oh you're not going in your regular clothes are you?" California asked, walking in DC's room. DC looked up and down California and raised an eyebrow.
