DC Headcanon's 6: Sparkle Sparkle!

Not a Bad Day

It was a boring meeting Gov wanted to run.

It was something about state finances and budgeting, everyone's least favorite subject, and since everyone was required to be at this meeting, they were all crammed in the living room which was already a limited space.

Florida yawned and fought to stay away; usually if his boyfriend was running the meeting he could pull a few pranks with Louisiana or mess with DC a little but since it was his cousin he was trying (trying being the operative word) to be good. He glanced over at Texas who was secretly on his phone and California who leaned against him, jealous he didn't have one of his boyfriend's to snuggle with. Unfortunately Louisiana got lost within the mess of the northeastern states struggling for the coveted spots in the back, New York was trying to remain as hidden as possible, and DC, poor DC, got a spot right next to Wyoming.

Wyoming looked, as always, annoyed. He hardly hung around the Statehouse, let alone stayed over, choosing his quiet ranch over the chaos of the home. No matter how many times Florida and Louisiana tried to include him in chaos, or just make him smile, Wyoming would grumble, moving quickly away from the duo and finding his own secluded corner. Florida felt so bad for DC as Gov droned on and on; if he was next to him he'd at least try to make him smile.

Gov switched to the next slide and Florida spotted DC trying to suppress a yawn, two days of no sleep finally catching up to him. Florida was about to sneak his phone out to send a funny meme to the boyfriend group chat when he spotted DC's head lean sideways, going down further, and further until he shut his eyes and rested his head on Wyoming's shoulder.

"Oh fuck..." California whispered, picking his head up as Texas instantly tensed. DC was still so new to the states, and after their first conversation back in November, he was trying to avoid the western state as much as possible. And yet there he was, laying his head on Wyoming's shoulder like it was the most natural thing in the world, asleep.

The southern state's head quickly darted over to Louisiana, who caught the scene alongside New York and was looking on worriedly. Wyoming still hadn't reacted, and was just staring at the fed. Montana and Idaho, Florida spotted them by a snoring Georgia, were watching their fellow Western state as well, all with baited breath waiting to see Wyoming's reaction. Would he freak out, shove DC down on the floor yelling that he didn't even want to be at this meeting? Would he just ease away from DC making him naturally wake up and embarrassed? They all held their breath as Wyoming watched DC's sleeping face.

Then turned back to Gov's presentation, like nothing had happened.

"I....I wasn't expecting that." Texas mumbled. Wyoming let DC rest on his shoulder for the duration of Gov's presentation, shocking his boyfriends and fellow western states. He didn't even have a look of disgust on his face; he kept his neutral expression but his eyes were brighter and if he'd let them, his lips would turn up into one of his half-smiles.

He looked, in a way, content.

Gov finished the presentation and the states wasted no time in getting out of the living room back to their normal lives. Wyoming didn't move, and the main five plus Idaho and Montana made excuses to linger about as Gov picked up and DC continued to snooze. Finally Gov grabbed a manilla folder and gently, well gently for him, whacked DC on the head waking him up.

"You slept through that entire thing!" Gov yelled.

"Did I....sorry Gov." DC yawned stretching, unaware where he was sleeping.

"I worked really hard on that!" Gov whined as his cousin got up.

"Did you, or did you have an intern do it because you were too busy with Miami?" DC teased. Gov glared at his cousin.

"I can kill you and make it look like an accident." Gov said with a hiss. DC laughed, used to his cousin's threats.

"Yeah okay Gov." DC snickered walking off.

"I MEAN IT." Gov yelled following his younger cousin off. The main five waited patiently, watching Wyoming as DC walked off. His eyes never left the retreating form of the fed, watching both feds disappearing into the kitchen.

"He looks...sad." New York whispered to the others.

"Nah.....that's longing." Louisiana muttered.

"I think this is stupid." Texas announced getting up and leaving the living room. The boyfriend's looked at each other and shrugged, following the southern state out. Maybe it was nothing, and DC just caught Wyoming on a good day. As soon as the five filed out, Montana and Idado made their move, approaching the western state who hadn't moved from his spot and eyes still glancing down at the hallway where DC was. Idaho nodded at Montana who reached forward and gently shook Wyoming, spooking him.

"The hell?" Wyoming yelled.

"You alright? You seem kind of off." Montana asked.

"Gov had his stupid meeting, of course I am." Wyoming pointed out rolling his eyes.

"DC slept on you." Idaho announced and the two western states watched Wyoming's face....blush?

"I....yeah I...."

"That was awfully nice of you." Montana added. Wyoming went more red and Montana and Idaho could hardly believe it. He was never this flustered, especially over someone else, especially the fed.

"Is there something you want to tell us?" Idaho asked and Montana groaned, kicking the small state in the shin for moving too fast. Wyoming quickly glanced down and stood up, trying to shake the blush off his face.

"J-Just thought he needed some rest." Wyoming mumbled before hurrying off, probably to find New Jersey and start a fight. Montana and Idaho glanced at one another before shrugging.

Just Wyoming being weird again.
