72 - So. Damn. Effected.
Sam? Comrade?
I was just wondering if you could come and finish off some paperwork for me in re: "Your recent requisition of the Factory's stock."
I just need a few signatures, and I wouldn't want to waste your time, but it is important to me. To our files.
[Private to Harvey]
Comrade! Guess what!

[Private to Harvey]
Comrade! Guess what!
ACTION?
ACTION!
[And so it is! Prefect does a quick once over of his appearance in the mirror then shuffles through a pile of papers, waiting for Sam to arrive.]
ACTION!
Prefect? [He knocks briefly, then opens the door]
ACTION!
Comrade!
[and just like that, hopefully before Sam has time to think about it, Prefect thrusts the clipboard forward and indicates to the top page.]
Okay Sam, you have to initial here, here, here, and sign...
[He pushes the top sheet (which really is for requisitioning gin!) back, just far enough to show a dotted line on the sheet below.]
Just here!
[Big grin, just to be reassuring.]
ACTION!
ACTION!
[Then he pauses and frowns.] Wait, since when am I not allowed to sell it?
ACTION!
[Sam sighs]
Since I'm not able to trust you around alcohol. We'll talk about it when you've made some progress on that front.
ACTION!
Not extreme at all, Comrade! In fact considering we are now officially married, I think I showed a considerable degree of self control! Now--
[He moves to rummage in one of the nearby boxes.]
I appreciate that you didn't know we were getting married at the time, but it's still legally binding and if you want out of it then I am prepared to fight you in the courts for the remainder of my life and to the ruin of both of us.
[He produces from the box a plain gold ring, and tosses it to Sam.]
Here, catch!
ACTION!
I-- we-- er-- what? Hold on, back up-- MARRIED?
[Sam swipes the papers and begins poring over them as Prefect goes to one of his boxes]
This isn't-- this-- This makes no sense! We can't be married!
[He looks up from the papers and almost misses the ring Prefect tosses at him. Sam stares at it for a moment, then tosses it back to Prefect as though it buuuurrrrnnnns]
No! Prefect, we are not married. We don't even have any witnesses-- and-- [He sighs, rubs his temples] Why the hell am I even arguing about this... [No! He's Sam Tyler; it's his job to argue]
I'm not even gay!
ACTION!
[He catches the ring, and throws it back to Sam again]
...and not accepting or wearing the ring does not nullify the fact that we are now married.
[Prefect folds his arms and smiles]
And I'm not gay either, our relationship transcends gender.
ACTION!
[He catches the ring, frowns, and tosses it back]
Stop it! We aren't married!
[Sam does NOT return this smile. He still looks horrified]
No-- Prefect, what you're feeling, it's-- it's some kind of... gas leak or... flood or something. And this is all moving way too fast.
ACTION!
[Prefect catches the ring again, and this time comes over to Sam, reaching out extremely carefully to take hold of his Wardens hands.]
Comrade, I don't ask for cultural sensitivity from you on many points, but It'd be nice if you could respect this one. It's quite important to me!
[Prefect is clearly undeterred by Sam's expression of horror.]
I know this is strange right now, and that's why I had to trick you into marrying me instead of asking you. I don't fully understand this, but I know that I love you, and I don't want that to... get away.
ACTION!
Prefect, you're... touching me.
[Well, to Sam that was pretty odd, given Prefect's aversion to that. Still, he doesn't want to make his inmate feel bad, so perhaps it would be best to just accept the 'marriage' and wait for the flood to pass]
Alright, alright. That's-- that's really great, Prefect.
ACTION!
That's because I love you.
[At the suggestion that it might actually be all right, Prefect is obviously surprised and elated! He leans in, as though he's planning on kissing Sam on the cheek, then obviously decides that's some contact too far, and just hesitates there a moment before pulling away with a big grin on his face.]
Okay, Comrade! I promise I'll be a great husband!
ACTION!
[As Prefect leans in, Sam leans back, giving Prefect the biggest of 'WHAT THE FUCK' looks. Thankfully, Prefect doesn't have it in him to go for the kiss, so Sam breathes a sigh of relief]
Okay... Brilliant. Just.
[He backs away a little]
Don't expect a honeymoon, alright?
ACTION!
[Prefect hadn't been expecting a honeymoon, but now that Sam had mentioned it, It seemed like they were really obligated to go somewhere together.]
...Well, it doesn't have to be anywhere special, we could just go too...
[Don't say the pub.]
...The CES.
[Hopeful look]
We could... count something. Actually, what's actually in the CES, Comrade? Is it a good place to go for a honeymoon?
ACTION!
[Sam backs away a little]
So, uh... Yeah, alright. We'll go, er. After I take care of some... official warden business.
[Staaaalling]
HUGE OOC LOL, SORRY. THAT IS ALL.

I can clearly get away from it.

I do like Sam like that!

Private
...
I thought you'd be happy for me.
Private
Does he want to marry you?
Private
It's not rushed, we've been together for what? Eleven months?
Private
And you haven't been 'together'. You've just been warden and inmate.
Private
Besides, he said it was okay! After some initial resistance, he is now fully prepared to be my husband!
Warden and inmate is together!
Private
Private
Are you happy for me now?
Private
Private
Thank you, Comrade!
