It was finally Pride Month, the month for all people of the LGBTQ+ community to come together and celebrate their freedom to be themselves.
And in the city of Burbank, it was no different for the two little mice who share a cage at ACME Labs.
Pinky, the taller and less intelligent of the two, was attempting to put on a colorful skirt. As he got it onto his waist correctly, he spun around with the colors of the gender non-conforming pride flag following his movements.
"NARF!" Pinky laughed as he admired his new accessories. The pretty skirt, a pink, yellow and blue striped pin, and of course a miniature transgender flag on his back. "Braaaaain!~" He called out.
Brain watched citizens prepare for today's upcoming parade outside the laboratory's window. "Yes, Pinky?" He replied with a hint of unease, turning to see his associate.
"Weeeellll, I may have gotten you something. As a little thank you for doing my surgery for me back a few months ago..." Pinky pulled an Ally pin from behind his back, presenting it to The Brain. "Surprise! Poit!" The mouse beamed.
"Why thank you, Pinky. It was my pleasure, you didn't have to get me this." The Brain smirked as his put the pin onto him, patting Pinky's arm as he awkwardly walked away.
Brain had been afraid to tell anyone the truth since he first realized he had a crush on his ex-best friend, Snowball. Which, the mentioned did not appreciate in the slightest.
Pinky would never judge him for such a thing, but would others? Absolutely. Maybe not the other Animaniacs, but the outside world.
The only thing Pinky couldn't know is that Brain is certain he's queer because Billie and Julia aren't the only mice he's had feelings for lately.
Pinky...he thought long and hard about Pinky. Why does it matter if anyone else was going to judge him for it? Pinky is his world, and if his world won't let him down, what else could matter?
Brain put a paw to his recently gifted badge, and caught his reflection in that same window the parade was happening outside of.
Keeping his gaze on himself, he spoke.
"Pinky, there's something I need to confess..."
