Oh my god! *flails* This is just perfect and I'm always so leery of AUs, but the voices here, the situation, is wonderful.
It was too long to be quoting in an IM convo, but I was doing it anyway:
"You know," said John, adrift somewhere between amused and annoyed, "I'd forgotten this part of your personality."
"Well, that was very stupid of you, because my sister reminded you, as did my nieces, several times before the wedding," Rodney replied. "Perhaps it was the oral sex that made you forget?"
In the next room, the realtor dropped her clipboard. John started giggling uncontrollably. "The hardwood floors will be hard on the knees," he said finally, eyebrow skewed upward. "Not to mention the tile in the bathrooms."
Yes, I have to go read part 2 now, so if you'll excuse me?
