HB drabble: Struggle [Dakin/Irwin, general]
Title: Struggle
Author: celandineb
Fandom: History Boys
Pairing: Dakin/Irwin (preslash)
Rating: general
Summary: Some things are worth struggling for.
Note: For swtalmnd who wanted Irwin/Dakin, "impressed with himself."
Dakin waits to waylay Irwin after classes, determined to discuss his latest essay, on which Irwin has written, "Facile but dull."
From behind the barrier of his desk Irwin says, "You're too impressed with yourself, Mr Dakin. You think this is easy, don't you?"
"Not easy," Dakin protests.
"Not a real challenge, though." Irwin stands, walks around the desk and touches a single finger to Dakin's shoulder. "Excellence comes only with struggle. What is achieved easily is rarely worth having."
Dakin can see tiny beads of sweat at Irwin's hairline. He resolves that what he will struggle for is Irwin.
