House of Dadneto Checkpoint 2 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈

@house-of-dadneto | my ao3

Since I already previewed my 5+1 Things fic here, I figured I'd use this checkpoint as a chance to reveal some excerpts from my other (as of now untitled) fic for the “Outsider POV” prompt.

[For context: Erik stumbles upon Peter and Kurt kissing, and promptly arrives at the conclusion that the secret Peter has been keeping from him is that Peter's gay. And, like, Peter is gay, but Erik couldn't be more wrong.]

Passages under the cut:

...

Erik knew that Peter was getting close enough that he’d soon be in earshot, so he completely disregarded Raven’s words, staring at her with laser focus. “All love is love,” Erik said abruptly, forcing himself not to cast a glance towards Peter.

“What?” Raven spluttered, but her confusion was unimportant.

“All love is valid,” Erik continued loudly, and in his periphery, he could see that Peter was staring at him as the young man walked by. “We are all a family. I fully support the love you just mentioned, Mystique, because loving anyone is okay.”

...

“Is that seriously a rainbow pin on his flannel?” Jean said in a low voice, exchanging a shocked glance with Scott. “And a rainbow scarf?”

“He is expressing himself,” Ororo said with a shrug, taking a bite of her toast. “I see nothing wrong with that.”

“We’ve seen him in a full cape, chestplate, helmet, and boots,” Peter began, watching Erik as the man took a seat at the table. He turned back to his friends, shaking his head. “But somehow this is the most deranged fashion statement I’ve seen from him yet.”

...

(Needless to say, I've been really enjoying writing this one.)
