Fic: Trans!Partick Ficlette
Author: Emmuzka
Genre and pairing: FOB, Pete/Patrick
Raiting: G
Warnings: Nope
Original prompt: This a a request for a transgender Patrick, so I answered with his little one-comment -length ficlette.
Disclaimer: Not true in any way.
Summary: The worst thing is that his parents are so utterly disappointed.
The worst thing is that his parents are so utterly disappointed. Not on him, but on themselves. They just can't stop thinking that somehow, they did something drastically wrong in his childhood. Two intelligent people, his parents, who he wants to look up to, ask him if it was because he was dressed in cousin Nick's old clothes, or because he was the only girl in their play date circle. Would this had happened if they wouldn't have divorced? Had his mom given a bad woman's model?
Patrick just sighs and pushes some other new book for them to read. They will read it, but they won't understand it.
Andy loves it. He talks about self-defining one's physical person, taking power over the massive force of categorization that comes from biology and society's expectations. Patrick doesn't feel like he would be taking power over anything when he wakes every morning with a body that feels wrong, and uses more time that is healthy on trying to pass.
To Joe, it's a non-issue. He just doesn't feel any need to personally react on his guy friend having rag days or not being able to pee standing up or never going shirtless. To him, it is such a no big deal that Patrick lives in fear of Joe accidentally outing him. Still, Patrick lives on even greater fear of outing himself by himself. He lists obsessively (with actual physical lists) who knows and who doesn't, and pushing the same lists to Joe in an attempt of making him think who is in the room before opening his mouth doesn't actually require more work from his side.
Pete. By god, he loves the dude, but Pete just doesn't get it. He doesn't get it that passing isn't a cross-dressing game. Pete hasn't seen the scars on his chest from when he tried to fix himself when he was eleven.
"You turned me gay", Pete whispers in his ear and straddles higher on Patrick's lap.
Patrick wants to believe that Pete truly believes so.
Patrick wants to, but he doesn't.
