Soul Mates (X2)
Prompt: #75, Daughter
Summary: It's Amita's wedding day, and Alan watches the couples dancing, pondering love.
Alan sighed, sipping his champagne as he watched the dance floor. He had already thought of Amita as a daughter, and it was lovely to have her be legitimately - legally - family, his daughter-in-law.
Of course, he had always anticipated it being his other son getting married to her, but seeing them now. . . Don obviously smitten, still staring into her eyes even as they danced, paying Amita's parents no mind as they whispered together, not looking terribly pleased.
Looking at the other couples, Alan had to admit that neither of his sons had really followed the path he'd expected.
Charlie looked almost as quietly happy as his brother, though, wrapped in the arms of his own lover. Ian looked surprisingly comfortable on the dance floor, considering what one might think of as his usual surroundings.
Charlie's head rested on Ian's chest, one of Ian's hands mussing the curls that had been halfway tamed for the wedding.
Charlie, Alan noted, as the couple turned again, had his eyes closed, and while Ian's were open, he wasn't watching everyone, everything, as he usually would. His eyes were strangely soft, almost unfocused, as he smiled, tugging Charlie away from him just enough to kiss.

I wrote this when I was rewatching the first season, and there were some interesting hints, mostly from Don, but some from Amita, that made me think in this vein.
