For that prompt thing: Either Panchito/José 14 or Fenro (Pre-Fenro? I dunno) 40? Your call (Also I love your Fenton is a Dad AU you and it are amazing)
40. “I’mtoo afraid to fall in love.”
obviously I had to choose this one, though it’s not connected to any au or anything (omg fkjahkdjasdkjh thank you so much??)
“I'm tooafraid to fall in love.” Fenton had said it calmly, during a slowmoment in the lab. The major repairs to the suit had been finished,since Fenton had blown up while wearing it. His leg was in a bootstill, but his arms had healed enough that they were merely braced.
“Why?” Gyroasked, looking up from where he was tweaking something in Lil Bulb.Fenton was sitting at his desk, supposedly going over one of hisblueprints.
“... I dunno.”He admitted, “I think it's because of my parents? They – theyfell out of love, and... Iget it, but... He lovedMama, was in love withher, and then they just...stopped. And, yeah, they're still friendsbut... I dunno, it's stupid.”
“Myparents fell out of love too – at least yours are still friends. Myfather beat the hell outta my mom before my uncle came over andthreatened to kill him.” Gyro replied, “And despite havingwitnessed thathorrifying thing as a kid... I still fell in love.” Fenton lookedover at the taller scientist, who was focused on Lil Bulb – butFenton could see the blush.
“You...You love me?” He asked. Gyro nodded.
“Obviously,you don't have to say it back – we've only been dating for twomonths, but...”
“Ilove you.” Fenton blurted, “And- and I'm terrified,but...”
“Butwe'll figure it out.” Gyro replied, smiling across the room at him.“Alright? Whatever happens, we can face it together.” Fentonsmiled, and nodded.
Sure,he was still scared about the fact he was in love, but...
Atleast Gyro was in love with him, too.
