A/R Ficlet

icedteainthebag made me write fic. Adama/Roslin, finale spoiler if you squint at it.


She doesn't do this sort of thing.

She is well known for it, her friends and family teasing as they practically have to force her on the various blind dates they set up for her. Her work is enough for her, and the change in administration along with all the usual responsibilities in the Department of Education is more than enough to keep her busy.

So it is with some surprise that she finds herself in a little Italian place, talking over dinner with a man she has just met. She's not even sure of his last name, and before she would have said he was definitely not her type, but he has surprising blue eyes and his smile has a way of lighting up his stern face.

She certainly does not believe in love at first sight, but when their hands touch when both reach for the check the sudden rush of longing and recognition is almost enough to send her running were it not for her sense of propriety. Instead they squabble over who will pay.

I adore this, as you know. The description is just perfect, and I kinda really love the idea of them meeting pre-attack.

Drabbles are just the right length for my concentration span at the moment, though I don't think I could manage ones where you have to have just 100 words, I still end up being too wordy.
