Oh, He's My Boyfriend [Patcani] (LGBTQA+ AU)

Two of the most energetic and precious cinnamon rolls? I HAVE to do it!

Also we need to start saying LGBTQA+ instead of just LGBT because there are more people who are a part of the community that are excluded by some like Asexuals and some that say others don't exist like Genderfluid or Bigender. Just a little pet peeve of mine.

STORYTIME!

Emile was working in their regular office again, wearing their green tie for non-binary pride. Emile is Genderfluid, however with all his clients they don't know of all of them will accept them so they wear the same beige suit every day and just change their tie. It's efficient and it gives them a little bit of Liberty. However on feminine day's they do love to get out of the slacks and wear a skirt. Oh well, that can wait for after the hours in the Office. Their patients are more important than their own gender expression.

"Knockity Knockity!"

A voice rang through the door. A very cheerful and upbeat voice that was garunteed to make Emile smile. Well, Emm. They preferred to be called Emm on a neutral day. Emm forgot completely about the patient that was scheduled to be here in a short amount of time and they hurried over to the door. They threw it open and fell into their boyfriend's arms. They were dating an elementary school teacher who also took shifts at the YMCA and other daycare facilities. Both of them had jobs they were happy with. They were working in getting married since where they live doesn't have marriage laws for LGBTQA+ people. Well, they do but no ministers support them.

"Patty Cake! What are you doing here? I thought you were working at the YMCA today?"

Don't get Emm wrong, they were super excited to see their boyfriend! He was a very upbeat Pansexual Trans man that children loved. Nobody really knew he was trans until he went into work wearing  trans pride shirt and kids asked him what it meant. He simply told them that meant he was happy with who he was. The Principal tried to get him to change, but Patton stood his ground. Patton grinned at him and held him loosely in his arms, glasses slightly falling off his sunny face.

"Not enough kids for a whole staff to be there, so they sent half of us home. I thought I'd visit my lovely datemate at work so they aren't getting their stitch plushies stolen again. That was my favorite!"

Patron retracted his arms, crossing them over his chest. He pouted adorably, causing Emm to laugh. Had Patton seen their tie? He mustn't have considering he used the correct pronouns. That or he didn't assume like people shouldn't assume and used neutral pronouns to play it safe. Patton is a very smart and accepting man. Emm rolled their eyes and took Patton's hand. They led him to the couch where he sat down, slumping down a bit. Emm was about to sit down next to him when there was a knock at the door. Emm turned around and they saw their favorite patient standing in the doorway.

"Doctor Picani? I'm here for my appointment."

Elliott, a non-binary pal who keeps finding themselves coming back due to struggles with their family and their boyfriend. Patton stared at him for a moment, just as Emm had. Emm completely forgot about Elliott, probably their best friend other than Patton. Elliott was very emo and had very pale skin, however they've been getting better on being social and working things out with their boyfriend. Emm has yet to meet him, but they do really love to. They better stop giving exposition halfway through the oneshot and reply to their friend.

"Oh, hello Elliott! Wonderful to see you! Good noon!"

Emm glanced at the clock as it went from twelve o'clock sharp to twelve and one minute. Whelp now it's good afternoon. Too late to change that! Elliott awkwardly smiled back, but then focused on their boyfriend. Patton wasn't sitting down on the couch anymore. Patton was actually walking up behind Emm and held out his hand towards Elliott, smiling really brightly. Emm talks about Elliott all the time. They've actually hung out together outside of therapy. 

"Elliott, right? Emm talks so much about you! My name's Patton, do you how do?"

Emm snickered at the joke their boyfriend made. That's normally their joke! Come on Patty Cake! Elliott takes Patton's hand and weakly shakes it, clearly feeling awkward. Two energetic beans might be a little bit much for poor Elliott. Elliott found themself smiling and then they noticed Emm's green tie. Emm isn't out to Elliott either, scared that word might get around Andy people will stop coming to their office just because of their gender identity. It's not that they don't trust Elliott, but someone in the office could overhear and spread Word.

"Ummm, Emile? Who's Patton? Is he here to help me with my self esteem or...."

Elliott awkwardly trails their voice out, holding their hands behind their back. Patton looked over at Emm with concern. He knows they aren't out, but he must have assumed that Elliott knew. Emm took a deep breath and kept their smile up. Well, it's time to come out right? Live up to the title of the chapter. Oh wait, the author changed the title last minute. It used to be "coming out" but now it's going to be their reply. Struggling for word count so the author is just adding more and more words. Feel free to skip to the reply and stop reading this paragraph. The author is watching markipler's playtrhough Of Dream Daddy for the seventh time while writing this. The author is in love with Damien from dream daddy. The author loves you for who you are and so do every single character in this oneshot. Remember to keep smiling and being yourself. You're beautiful.

"Oh, Patton's my boyfriend! And, uh, I probably should have mentioned this before but I'm Genderfluid. Today is a neutral day for me so you can just call me Emm. I'm sorry for not mentioning it before."

Elliott took in the information. Patton hugged Elliott from behind, realizing what exactly was happening right now. This was basically Emm coming out again. Unlike last time, they got support from someone who loved them and it was to a friend who was a part of LGBTQA+ rather than their unsupportive parents. Elliott smiled, respecting Emm wholeheartedly.

"Oh, sorry Emm. And I think you and Patton make a lovely couple. It's adorable how he's hanging on to you."

Emm felt a Heath rush up to their cheeks and a dopey grin fall over their face. Elliott thinks they're an adorable couple? Score! Patton squeezed Emm from behind, also grinning. Emm is Genderfluid and is very proud. And Patton is their loving boyfriend. End of story.

I struggled with word count but I got it up there. I hope this was good. I don't have any advice, I'm just feeling really blah. Ugh. Internet hugs and blow kisses!
