X-Men: Home Maintenance by Penknife
Home Maintenance (Scott-Bobby | PG13 | 6,810 words) is Scott fixing the plumbing after Bobby broke it and remembering what it was like when he was fifteen as well. Scott can be a dull character in the wrong hands but this has all the reasons why I like him. Plus, the story does an amazing job at dealing with teenage sexuality, which is really just a confusing, sticky mess.
Excerpt:
Scott came in, and sat down on the floor, which was the only place really to sit down. Hank was in bed reading. He put the book down and pushed his glasses up his nose.
"To what do I owe this nocturnal visit? Has our Mr. Worthington been snoring again?"
"I just sleep through it," Scott said. He rubbed the back of his neck. "Hank, do you think I'm gay?"
Hank blinked.
"I've never really thought about it," he said. "Are you interested in girls?"
"Well, yes," Scott said. "I think. But I've never really done anything with an actual girl. Not even kissing. They won't."
Hank raised an eyebrow in amusement.
"You mean Jean won't."
