It was the start of June, meaning pride month, meaning the streets of Paris would be covered with rainbows and pride flags, which meant that Françoise Dupont was gonna party.

The student council had been planning this for months. A majority of students who are part of the LGBT community thought it would be a great idea to throw a pride celebration for the school, and the council was immediately on board. After some convincing, Damocles approved, and everyone got to planning

The day of the party, students came to school late at night wearing dresses, tuxedos, dress-tux combos, drag, outfits made out of their pride flags. Everyone went all out. The courtyard was decorated with different pride flags, rainbow streamers, a whole lot of glitter, and neon paint illuminated by UV lights. It looked like a rave

Nathaniel and Alix arrived about ten minutes later. Nathaniel had on a bisexual tank top, black jeans, and purple ankle boots. Alix was wearing an asexual print tuxedo jacket with an aromantic tie, curtesy of Marinette, with a black shirt, ripped jeans, and black boots

"Damn, the council went all out!", Alix exclaimed as she took it all in, "They even got rainbow food!", she pointed to the rainbow-colored pastries on a dessert table

Nathaniel wasn't listening. He was looking around for Marc. There was no way he'd miss something like this

"Nath! Alix!", Marinette squealed as she ran over to them wearing a bisexual flag jumpsuit with an asexual bow tie, and handed them rainbow glow sticks, "Glad you guys could come!"

"We wouldn't miss it for the world, Mari!", Nathaniel didn't notice the two exchanging winks

"Yeah, this is amazing, but, have you seen Marc?", Nathaniel asked

Marinette gave a sly smile, "Oh, you'll see him very shortly.", she giggled, "Now of you'll excuse me, I got more glow sticks to hand out!", at that, she walked away

"What was that about?", Nathaniel asked, to which Alix responded with a smirk and a shrug of her shoulders. He wasn't convinced, "You know something, don't you?"

"Maybe I do. Maybe I don't."

"Alix," he said sternly, "are you planning something?"

She backed away into a crowd and whispered, "All shall be revealed soon..."

Nathaniel was still confused as to why his friends were acting weird and why Marc was missing, but he shrugged that off and went to enjoy the party

Thirty minutes passed and Nathaniel still couldn't find Marc. He was about to call him until Mme. Bustier and Mendeleie, dressed in Pansexual and Polysexual t-shirts respectively, announced the entertainment would on in a moment, making everyone in the courtyard clap and cheer

Nathaniel wondered who would be performing until he saw them. Standing at the top of the stairs were Kagami, Alya, Rose, Alix, Marinette, and Juleka. All were dressed in glow stick jewelry, black jeans, and colors corresponding to the colors of the rainbow. Then, dressed in pink was Marc. Rainbow hearts were painted on his cheeks, he had on red lipstick, and... Were those leather boots?

A song blew on the speakers, and everyone went wild when they realized what the song was.

Marc:  
Tonight, I pray for a sweet escape
Can somebody take me higher
Tonight the streets will be full of freaks Preacher you can't reach this choir!

Nathaniel nearly fainted when he heard his boyfriend started singing... He sounded amazing, so confident and unafraid

Marc:  
Don't tell me who I'm gonna love tonight, tonight  
And slip some sin up in my cup tonight, tonight  
You can get a little naughty if you like, you like  So baby let's get lost up in the lights, the lights!
God, let me find a man tonight, send him to me

Woo!

Cause the freaks came to party  
The freaks came to dance  
The freaks came to live it up  
And the church said amen  
Girls, grab your woman  
Boys, grab your man  
Love who the fuck who you want  
Just cause you can  
And the church said "Amen!"

Girls:  
Amen, amen, amen!
Amen, amen, amen!
Amen, amen, amen!
Amen, amen, amen

As the song continued, everyone got into it. The party was really starting to become a race. Students were lip-synching, dancing, shaking their glow sticks to the beat, it was crazy!

Marc:  
Don't tell me who I'm gonna love tonight, tonight  
And slip some sin up in my cup tonight, tonight.
You can get a little naughty if you like, you like So baby let's get lost up in the lights, the lights

Woo!

Marc/Girls:  
Cause the freaks came to party  
The freaks came to dance  
The freaks came to live it up
And the church said amen  
Girls grab your woman
Boys grab your man  
Love who the fuck who you want  
Just cause you can  
And the church said "Amen"

Girls:
Amen, amen, amen
Amen, amen, amen
Amen, amen, amen
Amen, amen, amen
Amen, amen, amen
Amen, amen, amen
Amen, amen, amen
Amen, amen, amen

Once the song was over, the singers were met with a round of applause, glows sticks being tossed at them, and Nathaniel was pretty sure he saw one girl throw a bra with her number written on it at Alix. They made their way down to bask in the glory, but Marc walked past everyone just to go find Nathaniel

Nathaniel was at a loss for words. How could he even speak after Marc just sang like an angel, a talent he never knew he had, and is now standing in front of him in nothing but a pink t-shirt, ripped black jeans, and black leather boots?

Marc broke the silence, "So... What did you think?", he asked nervously, worried what Nathaniel's reaction to his singing might be

"... You sounded amazing.", Nathaniel finally said, "Why didn't you tell me you'd be singing tonight, or that you could?"

"I was worried that you'd think it was stupid."

Nathaniel chuckled and wrapped his arms around Marc's waist, "Does this seem like I think it's stupid?", before Marc could say anything, Nathaniel leaned in a kissed him, which got the two of them a few cheers from the crowd, especially Marinette and Alix

"GET IT, YOU TWO!", Alix screamed
