"Today is born the seventh one
Born of woman the seventh son
And he in turn of a seventh son
He has the power to heal
He has the gift of the second sight
He is the chosen one
So it shall be written
So it shall be done"

SELF-PROMPT: COURTSHIP ROOLS OK. anonymous October 20 2010, 21:08:00 UTC
This is a sequel to The Rules of Courtship - http://lolitics-meme.livejournal.com/5715.html?thread=9811283#t9811283

It explains how the "surprise couple" first got together, and later tells more about the role of the Prime Minister .....

Ed Balls liked to get a good head of steaming rage when he faced Gove on Education. It worked well for Ed, but his colleagues all knew to leave him alone in the immediate moments after his exit from the Chamber, to allow time for him to simmer down ( ... )

Irritatingly, Ed couldn’t forget the incident. He found he’d acquired the habit of rubbing his nose (quite gently) with his right forefinger. He didn’t know he’d been doing this until Andy Burnham made a snarky reference to it.

Also he’d taken to staring at Clegg across the floor at DPMQs; and starting violently if he made any unheralded appearances during other sessions.

This behaviour didn’t appear to faze Clegg at all; but it was sure as Hell unnerving Ed himself. It didn’t help that Clegg occasionally (very occasionally) reacted with a slight bob of the head in acknowledgement and once, a very definite wink.

Unfortunately Andy had intercepted that, and had later asked Ed anxiously if he thought Clegg was coming on to him. Ed was too embarrassed to disabuse him.

It was only as Parliament neared the Summer recess that Ed Took Action.

That afternoon, Clegg had deliberately caught his eye and mouthed 'good luck', as Ed had taken his seat opposite Gove. The bastard MUST have known that Ed’s leadership hopes were slim. Bloody ( ... )

Ed pounded along a corridor in Clegg’s wake, intending to extract either An Explanation or Horrid Vengeance. His quarry turned a corner, and Ed swerved around it just in time to see the door to a Gents’ Washroom whispering slowly closed. Without stopping to think he flung it wide and barged through ( ... )

Author's Note

I intended a fade-to-black. I really did! I was gonna gallop on with the plotline. But Parts 1d & 1e kinda ambushed me. So here goes - the no-holds-barred bit.

* * * *

Nick, Ed discovered, did his kissing thoroughly, sensitively; but with a hint of impersonal distance, as if some part of him was standing elsewhere watching and monitoring. It was this that impelled him, once they had broken apart, to ask -

“Well, did I pass? Or was this just some form of social experimentation?”

“You’re too deep into Education-speak, Ed. What’s made you so insecure?”

“Oh, fuck off!”

“No - really - I want to know. I want to find out where you think this might be going. What you want.”

“I want .. “ said Ed, happily bypassing the original question, “I want .. want you .. to top!”

There! He’d said it!

“What? Right here and now?”

“Right here and now!” answered Ed defiantly.

“Well, fine, of course.”

“Aren’t you going to argue?”

Nick sighed.

“This relationship is going to be what they describe as ’sparky’, isn’t it? No. No ( ... )

Nick was enjoying himself. He’d angled for this ever since Ed had come barrelling into him all that time ago. He flattered himself that he’d played Ed pretty well during the intervening weeks; and now he’d landed him, just before the summer recess.

No need to tell Ed that the lube-tube he was offering had been nestled in his inner breast pocket for ages, warming up and waiting for the denouement“FUCK, Clegg!” said his soon-to-be lover, “You came prepared ( ... )

This is hilarious and brilliant! Love Ed thinking Important Thoughts in Capital Letters, because I bet he does, and scheming Nick.

Can't wait for DCam to make an appearance now because I have a big crush on your Camham? Burneron? Candy? (since Dandy is already taken)
