Notes: Written for 7rainbowprompts.
“John!” Elizabeth protested, holding a hand out and pushing on his chest to keep him off her. “We can’t do this anymore!” She stared into his eyes, trying to make him see the truth behind her words.
John stared back at her defiantly and tried to kiss her once more, gently taking her wrists and holding them together so she couldn’t fend him off.
Again, Elizabeth objected. “We can’t!”
“Why not?” He silently dared her to say it; to tell him that even after all of this time of being together, they could never really be a couple because of the positions they held at Atlantis. He knew that he was, however, military and she was civilian, which meant there were no regulations.
Taking that into consideration, there was really nothing standing in their way but themselves. All they had to do was keep their personal relationship separate from their professional relationship and it would all work out fine. It had been working fine between as far as he knew for the past couple of weeks.
“We just can’t,” Elizabeth told him, pleading with him to stop. The look in her eyes spoke volumes and John wanted nothing more than to reach out and hold her. He restrained from acting on the impulse though and instead focused his energy on standing still.
“You don’t want this?” he said after a long silence. “I thought things were going well.”
Elizabeth grimaced. Truthfully, things were going well. Or at least, they had been. “John!”
“I know, I know. I’ll just go.” He began to walk away, his head hanging in disappointment and his hands crossed over his chest protectively. He had almost made it around the corner when something stopped him.
Elizabeth’s hand. On his arm.
He raised an eyebrow and looked at her questioningly, confused about her intentions. She didn’t want him. She had made that much clear mere seconds ago. After all, she was like an angel fallen from above - why would she want him? He was just a military guy, nothing special. Why was she - ?
A moment later, his unspoken question was answered: Elizabeth wrapped one hand around the back of his neck and the other pulled his head to hers, bringing him in for a kiss. Unlike all of their previous kisses, this one was gentle and soft. It didn’t speak of lust like it had before, but of promises and love.
“Change your mind, huh?” John whispered against her lips with a smile as they broke away.
Elizabeth just grinned back and moved in for another kiss. Now, that was a good sign!
Maybe they would be okay, after all.
