Title: Kind Reception
Fandom: King's Speech
Pairing: Bertie/Lionel
Rating: PG
Note: 160 words. For [personal profile] dementordelta who asked for Bertie/Lionel, "love nest".


The consulting room was an unlikely love nest, to be sure. It was large and echoing, with fade paper adorning the walls and a floor that creaked. Lionel's sons were not infrequently there after school, and because of the lack of a receptionist, both current and prospective patients might turn up at odd intervals.

Indeed, properly speaking it could not be called a love nest at all. Bertie and Lionel had never done more in it than steal a few hasty kisses, generally when Bertie had achieved some small triumph in his exercises and convinced Lionel to reward his efforts. Lionel was undecided as to the wisdom of his actions; he had had patients fall in love with him before, or what they thought was love, really more a form of gratitude. No former patient had been Bertie, though, and Lionel thought he might well have felt this affection, yes, this love in return even if Bertie were not King.
