Fic: Unrequired Love (LoM, Drabble)
In which Sam has feelings for Gene, and the author attempts to adopt the characterisation abilities of someone who has picked up a few snippets about Life on Mars without ever seeing an episode.
“We need to talk, Guv,” Sam sighed. “Or may I call you Gene?”
“No, you bloody well cannot,” Gene growled. “Only my best friends call me that, and you ain’t one of them.”
“But Gene - Guv - I must tell you how I feel!” Sam gasped as his boss grabbed him, swinging him round to crash into the filing cabinet.
“D’you think I don’t bloody know?” Gene breathed menacingly. “I’ll tell you this, Gladys. Whatever feelings you think you have, they are unrequired. Got it?”
“I think you mean unrequited,” Sam said pickily.
“I know what I mean,” Gene responded firmly.
