Summary: Radek had arrived two weeks ago.

Author notes: Written as part of the broadstairsbacc writing challenge where we all wrote a drabble to same fandom, a randomly picked prompt (arranged marriage) and then individual Loveheart phrase which needed to be included. My Loveheart said ‘I’m shy’.



Rodney leaned against the lab door, surreptitiously watching his new husband build… Well, he had no idea what but it looked interesting.

Radek had arrived two weeks ago, as part of the War Obligation scheme marrying talented people from the losing states to individuals of considerable means, like himself. It was slavery dressed as philanthropy but Rodney had found no way of escaping his ‘duty’.

“You didn’t say you could do that,” he remarked.

Radek didn’t startle. “I’m shy,” he said drily, a raised eyebrow implying how useless he’d thought sharing that would’ve been.

“We’ll work on that,” Rodney laughed.

Loads of back story and indeed a whole AU there! I feel the need for more... espccially if Rodney is going to work on Radek's shyness.
And by the way, it should be losing, not loosing.
I promise to get mine typed up during the next week.

I can see this scene clearly - Radek so sarcastic and Rodney so obtuse, wonderful! :D
