HB drabble: Appraisal [Irwin/Dakin, general]
Title: Appraisal
Author: celandineb
Fandom: History Boys
Pairing: Irwin/Dakin
Rating: general
Summary: It's a perfect summer day.
Note: Written for westernredcedar who wanted Irwin/Dakin, solstice.
Irwin's thin shirt moulds to his chest in the breeze. A white streak crosses one cheek where he failed to rub in the sunscreen, and Dakin wipes it away. Irwin raises his eyebrows but says nothing.
The henge is small, not one usually visited by tourists or the neo-pagans about whom Irwin talks with fond condescension. The BBC persuaded him to do another series of history programmes, and Dakin suggested that the midsummer solstice would be a perfect time to evaluate this site. Though it means he needs Dakin's help with the wheelchair, looking around, Irwin thinks Dakin was right.
