57. Drabble: Then and now
Title: Then and now
Author: dottie_jane
Theme: dwellings/home
Notes: Thanks to jule1122 for beta-ing.

As a teenager, Vic thought that getting old must really suck. Bills, jobs, and staying at home every night did not appeal to him. Vic planned on traveling the world and getting the hell out of Pittsburgh. Little did he know that growing older meant he could spend all night sitting on a couch watching Rodney’s beautiful pair of blue eyes twinkle as he carefully savored each bite of Vic’s homemade Sacher torte. This was a vision well worth the many years of singledom, and it was only made better by the feeling of Rodney’s toes tucked under Vic’s butt.

	I think this came from spending too much time on my own couch! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Rodney/Vic fic!!!! I love how you perfectly expressed Vic's joy at this point in his life. And seriously, nothing says love like tucking your toes under someone's butt. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I find it so much easier to write about non-B/J characters. I love Brian and Justin, but I struggle to come up with original material for them. Vic is a gold mind because we know so little about him. Also, toe tucking is a not-so-secret habit of mine. :) (Reply to this) (Parent)

	YAY! A Rodney/Vic drabble!! It's sad that they've had such a short amount of time together.. :( Their relationship was all about love and building a home and you've captured that really well. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Thank you! I really liked their relationship. It was a nice contrast to some of the cynicism in the show. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	This made me feel warm and cozy from the inside. Happiness in life is all a matter of perspective and this little drabble is the prefect reflection of that. Nicely done! ~Ellen (Reply to this)
