HB drabble: Second Thoughts [Irwin/Dakin, general]
Title: Second Thoughts
Author: celandineb
Fandom: History Boys
Pairing: Irwin/Dakin
Rating: general
Summary: Irwin's not sure he did the right thing.
Note: Another for emiime. Double drabble, companion to "Not Enough."
"Do you do this often?"
Dakin's question lingers in Irwin's mind for days afterward. He hadn't answered, wasn't sure how to. He certainly doesn't normally pick up strange men in pubs and take them home for sex an hour later. Dakin was hardly a stranger, although after half a lifetime without seeing a boy who'd been his student for just a few months, Irwin could scarcely claim to know him.
He has occasionally made such pickups, he admits. Especially when between more serious relationships, as he happens to be now. Whether that is good or bad remains to be seen; Irwin prefers monogamy on the whole, so if he were in such a relationship he would not have fucked Dakin, an action that might yet prove to have been a mistake. He'd wanted to, god yes, and he'd thought that perhaps taking the upper hand in the matter would serve, settling his feelings once and for all. It hasn't quite worked out that way. Not for him at any rate. He has no idea how Dakin might feel about it.
His mobile rings, and he answers.
"I'm glad you rang," he tells Dakin. "I'd like to see you again, too."
