"Hey, Scott?" I looked at Dan, their hazel eyes darting around.

"Yeah?"

"Well, you know how it's Pride Month?" I nodded. "I was wondering if you had nail polish in the NB colours...? And maybe the poly colours?" I smiled, wrapping an arm around them.

"Of course. I have a lot of pride colours. Enough for all of us guards." They smile back at me.

"Could I borrow my colours? Please? I wanna at least paint my nails. Maybe go to a pride parade. If I can convince Angie to go with me." I ruffled their blue hair, pulling away from them.

"Maybe you'll finally ask her out, yeah?" They blushed deeply, shoving me playfully.

"Maybe."

"Well, that makes it official! I've gotta take Dylin with me if you do go to pride." They smile.

"Maybe we can all paint our nails our pride colours. Then we can all sorta match."

"Sounds like a plan."

The smell of nail polish permeated the air, as several bottles were open, at my disposal. I'd taken the task of painting everyone's nails their colours, and Dan (with plenty of Angie's help) was drawing stripes or hearts in colours on everyone's cheeks. Angie had even done a pan-coloured eyeshadow on herself, along with eyeliner sharp enough to cut a bitch.

Mike and Jeremy had somehow gotten roped into going with us, but Jeremy opted out of the nail polish. Mike took to it immediately, now sporting bi and ace coloured nails. Dan's nails were the colours of non-binary, poly, and ace flags, which was interesting to fit. Angie had pan and ace coloured nails, Dyl had gay colours, and I had gay,  demi, and genderflux colours.

Dan finished up with Angie's stripes (at their insistence, Angie claimed), clasping that hands together.

"There! All done! I'm ready." I chuckled at their antics.

"Calm down, Dan. I've still gotta finish my nails. Then we're ready to go." They pouted, flopping into their beanbag.

The square was in chaos. But a good chaos. At least for those participating in pride. Guaranteed, there were protesters, but they were vastly outnumbered by the supporters. I just hoped nothing horrible was going to go down. I'd heard a lot about that happening and that was the only thing weighing on my mind. Scanning the crowd let me pick out some other people I knew, such as Peggy and her romantic interest, Emma. Thomas and James were here, along with Alex and John. Eliza and Maria stood close to Pegs and Em, everyone spring their colours on their cheeks. John had a huge gay flag wrapped around his frame, mirrored by Alex in a bi flag.

Glancing back at my group, I noticed Dan gripping Angie's hand excitedly, smiling up at her. I smiled at that, feeling Dylin's own hand curl around mine. I turned, planting a kiss on his lips.

-----

Towards the end, I noted Dan and Angie leaving in each other, and I smirked.

"About fucking time, Dan." Dylin caught sight of what I was looking at, whooping in joy.

"Our Dan has a girlfriend!"

That caused Dan and Angie to glare at us at the same time before falling into fits of giggles.

This was a day to remember forever.
