Oh my...

That was so...

I can barely pull thoughts together. (Gimme a moment, it's quite late...)

I kind of feel bad for Gene. He was almost forced into his marriage, it seems. He sleeps with the future Missus and now he must marry her because...well...it's just what he has to do, to make her a proper woman.

Sam's just a prick.

Thank you for a great comment; I wanted to leave it a bit ambiguous as to whether Margaret actually is the pretty girl from number 23, but yeah, I sort of saw him being guilt-tripped into the marriage, with that sense of honour and loyalty he has in the show.

And your summary of the Sam section is brilliant! He doesn't mean to be a prick; he wouldn't want to be a prick, but he's been brought up the over-protected little prince and he has no ideas yet between that and the selfish posturing of the other boys. He'll learn.

Thanks for commenting!

No. Sam stays a prick for the rest of his life. (But I can see where you're getting at. He doesn't know, so he defaults to his natural prickness.)

I know I've read another "first times" for the young Sam n' gene fic, in which Sam is not a prick, but I liked yours as well! Especially young gene... Poor guy.
