Static Shock: Summertime by X-parrot
Summertime (Virgil/Richie | PG13 | 23,609 words): During the midst of a summer heat wave and crime wave, Richie unintentionally comes out to Virgil. I love the awkwardness of change between the two and how they may not get stuff right the first time (or second and third time, for that matter), but they do eventually. And that's what's important.
Excerpt:
"Have you tried calling him?"
"Hey, he doesn't want to talk anymore, I don't want to bug him."
Sharon continued to tap her lower lip thoughtfully. "Does Richie know what got you mad?"
"Huh? He was the one who said he didn't want me to know!"
"So you told him?" she pressed. "That it was the trust thing, not the gay thing?"
"Well, I didn't say it exactly like that."
"Boys," Sharon said, disparagingly. "So Richie didn't want to tell you he was gay, probably because he was worried you'd freak out over it and wouldn't want to be friends anymore. But he finally does have the guts to open up--and my stupid little brother freaks out and doesn't want to be friends. I totally should slap you."
"You don't think Richie really thinks that..."
"I think your entire gender is born brain-damaged."
