HB drabble: In the Garden [Dakin/Irwin, general]
Title: In the Garden Author: celandineb Fandom: History Boys Pairing: Dakin/Irwin Rating: general Length: 100 words Summary: They enjoy sitting in the garden of their new house. Note: For swtalmnd, who wanted Irwin/Dakin, dirt.
After they moved in, Dakin hired a gardening service.
"Neither of us has time to do it," he said. "I work easily fifty or sixty hours a week, and your schedule is unpredictable. We can't always grub about in the dirt."
To which Irwin could only agree, although he suspected that Dakin also meant to keep Irwin from feeling he wasn't doing his share. A wheelchair was not ideal for gardening. Since he had no particular fascination with that chore, however, he didn't mind. He quite enjoyed sitting there during long summer evenings, sipping a drink, talking with his lover.
