HB drabble: Hidden [Dakin/Irwin, general]
Title: Hidden
Author: celandineb
Fandom: History Boys
Pairing: Dakin/Irwin
Rating: general
Summary: Dakin doesn't feel he really knows Irwin.
Note: For emiime who wanted Dakin/Irwin, glimpse.
For all the years – yes, years now, astonishing though that seems – that Dakin has been together with Irwin, there are moments when he thinks he has seen only the barest glimpse of the real man.
He has seen Irwin naked, seen him sweating when the pain was bad, seen him undone by joy – and yet.
Behind the carefully constructed arguments, the scarf-drape of intellect that hides as much as it ever reveals, Dakin wonders if there is real emotion, passion, something that Irwin has never quite shared with him.
At night he listens to Irwin breathe, and wishes he knew.
