Other notes: Wanted to write something GAY for pride month, and then I thought of this while reading a Peggy x Reader oneshot where the reader was scared to come out to her family, but it's got nothing to do with this idea. I was gonna do one of the Schuyler sisters, but then I wanted to include/mention Georgia and Rupert, and when I wrote the John oneshot that included them, it felt weird to me that they were like in their early 20s in it...
-----------------------
"Kill me now," I muttered, banging my head on the table in front of me after I sat down with my lunch.
"Ya alright, Darlin'?" Melody asked, her southern accent strong in concern as she patted me on the back.
I shook my head, "I want to die."
"Why?"
I lifted my head just enough to give her a deadpanned look before banging my head on the table again, "I'm a fucking lesbian."
"So what? Darlin', love is love no matter who you love."
I sighed, "It's not that. It's just that I know my parents want grandchildren. I'm a disappointment to my family."
"No you're not, (Y/n). Plus aren't Georgia and Rupert both gay anyway?"
I shook my head, "Rupert is Bisexual and Georgia's Pansexual. Both of them are able to fall in love with someone who they can reproduce with. Georgia is dating Clementine, and Rupert has already said he's sworn off having kids, and doesn't want to deal with 'the mess and noise' they make apparently. So I know Mum and Dad are counting on me to fall in love with a nice guy and marry him, to have children. Seriously, Dad even tried to set me up with Philip! And guess who Philip likes," I paused to allow either her or Clementine to answer, the former being the one to speak, "No idea."
"Rupert... Of all people! So that's never going to happen. Why did I have to be the one child out of three to be full on lesbian?!"
I felt a hand on my shoulder at that point and looked up to realise it was Clementine, "I know how you feel, (Y/n). I was scared to come out too."
"Clem, you don't have a mother who is constantly badgering you about grandchildren."
"Oh right... Sorry, but if it makes you feel better, Georgia and I have been talking about adopting children or well, at least one, so your parents will get grandchildren in some way."
I looked up at her and smiled, "Thanks, that takes the weight off my shoulders a bit, but I'm still nervous to come out to anyone else. Like I know you two won't judge me, but the rest of the school? That's a different story."
"So, you gonna tell us who your lesbian-awakenin' is, (Y/n)?"
I muttered something to myself, prompting Melody to start teasing me, "Sorry, I didn't hear that, Darlin'."
"Theodosia," I spoke a bit louder making sure they were able to hear me but not too loud that the girl in question would hear, her sitting behind me, with her back to me. I then noticed a smirk forming on Melody's face, "Yo Theo!"
Before I could do anything to stop her, Melody had stood up and was by Theodosia' table, "Just thought I'd tell you that my good friend here had a massive crush on you!" she spoke, grabbing me and pulling me to her side, turning my face bright red. I saw Theo's face go red too and I managed to get out of Melody's grip, running out of the lunch hall and sat down outside beside my favourite tree. A place where I would always go when I needed time alone. I just curled up in a ball, knowing there was no way Theo liked me back, I mean, it was common knowledge she had a thing for Philip before, so she was straight, and at that moment, I broke down and started crying.
After a few minutes I felt a hand on my shoulder, which I immediately shrugged off, thinking it was sock jock wanting to tease me for being in love with a 100% straight girl, "Leave me alone."
But I was surprised when the person spoke, "(Y/n), I know you come here when you're upset about something. I can see you from my classroom. What's up?"
I lifted my head and sighed, knowing there was no way I was going to get out of telling my father the true reason. He had a knack for being able to tell when people were lying. I brought a hand up and wiped my eyes, knowing that I wouldn't be able to explain myself whilst crying. I took a deep breath, "I was talking to Melody about crushes and when she learned who it was I had a crush on, she walked up to the person and just went, "Hey, my friend here has a crush on you!" I ran out in embarrassment, not wanting to hear the reply."
I immediately felt myself get brought into a hug, "I can understand that. As a matter of fact it took me several years to ask your mother out. Being scared of a crush is a natural thing, (Y/n)."
"It's not like that though. I-it's hard to explain. I-I... just don't want you and Mum to be disappointed in me."
"Why would we be disappointed in you, (Y/n)? Nothing you say or do could ever make us disappointed in you. Especially a crush."
I sighed and stood up, turning away from hi and grabbing my shoulder, "I-It's not like that though. I-I'm-"
"(Y/n)!"
I turned immediately upon hearing the familiar voice and froze when Theodosia came running up. Before I could say anything in apology or try to write off what Melody had said as lies or that she was making it up, Theo had grabbed both my cheeks in her hand and pulled me towards her, kissing me, "You didn't give me time to respond. I've had a crush on you for ages too. Just thought that there's no way that you weren't straight with Rupert being bi and Georgia being pan, what would be the probability of all three Washington kids not being straight? I'm sorry I made you think I wasn't into you."
I just stood there rigid, remembering my father was standing right beside us and mentally prepared myself for the 'we were hoping you'd be the one to give us grandchildren, (Y/n)' talk that I knew was coming, but I was pleasantly surprised when he just hugged me, "Were you scared to tell me, (Y/n)? Is this what you meant by us being disappointed in you?"
I nodded slowly, "Yeah. I know you and Mum, well mostly Mum, want grandkids, but with Georgia dating Clementine and Rupert having sworn of having children, I thought that if I told you I was Lesbian, you'd be disappointed that you wouldn't get grandchildren, and try to 'fix' me so I'd fall in love with a boy and be able to reproduce."
"(Y/n), it's okay. Whatever your sexuality is, we'll still love you and you're not a disappointment just because me and Martha won't get grandchildren. We love all three of you equally."
"R-really?" I asked, looking up at him, wiping the new set of tears that had formed. I got a nod and a hug in return, "Yes. It doesn't matter about grandchildren, whatever makes you happy makes us happy, (Y/n)."
At this point, I felt a hand take mine and I looked up to see Theo, "Mr Washington, Sir. Would you give me your permission to date your daughter?" I smiled as my heart swelled, seeing how polite Theo was being and how seriously she was taking this situation. Dad just chuckled, placing a hand on Theodosia's shoulder, "You only need to ask my permission when you want to marry her."
This caused both our faces to turn bright red and I smiled as Theo turned to me, before capturing my lips with hers again.
—----------------------------END OF ONESHOT
Happy Pride Month! If you do not support the LBGT+ community, LEAVE NOW. Just thought I'd write this fluff for Pride (: The alternate 'Say No To This' oneshot, should be out tomorrow, just waiting for more responses on the questions I asked in the previous update spree.
