::utterly utterly melts with joy and fuzzitude:: My lord, they're adorable!!

Oh, sweetheart, I am deeply flattered you've been imagining these guys. I will tell you confidentially (heh, in a public post) that their normal sleeping position (because John sometimes has to have prowl at night and Rodney wakes up and worries about him if he realizes the weight is gone) is for John to curl up next to Rodney's shoulder in the "c" position. Rodney reaches his hand up and buries it in the soft fur of John's tummy.

When John comes back from his morning run with Ronon, (much foreshortened for John; he just does it to hang out with him.) Rodney's almost always on his tummy, so John crawls between his shoulder blades (giving him a kitty spine massage on the way with his hard little feet) and stretches out, tucking his nose beneath Rodney's ear and snuffling.

If Rodney wakes up, he reaches back to stroke John's head and says, "snooze button," and John snuffles at him again ten minutes later. If he doesn't wake up, John very gently nips his ear or sometimes licks the tender skin right behind it with his rough little tongue, which gives Rodney the heebie-jeebies, because he says it feels like he's being sanded.

::hugs you tight:: I truly am so touched. ::beams::
