Rodney’s never had a friend like John before. Someone who laughs at his jokes, plays footsie wrestle with him and understands when he’s on the cusp of a breakthrough. John recognizes the signs and keeps him supplied in chocolate, coffee and dry erase markers.

Rodney’s never had a friend he’s been so comfortable with before. They both put their feet up on the coffee table, play video games (lowest score in the next 15 minutes has to get the beer and pizza) and make crazy plans for their future. Crazy because they could be attacked by the Wraith at any time. Crazy because Rodney’s pretty sure he’s promised to build John his own Ferris wheel when they get back on Earth.

John is sprawled on the couch, t-shirt riding up his belly, perfectly at home. At home with Rodney. All Rodney wants to do now is reach over and touch John’s springy, soft treasure trail and follow it all the way down with his teeth. Because Rodney’s decision to move in when John asked him to, wasn’t only brilliant, he has the hottest boyfriend in two galaxies. Seriously hot.

Funny thing, all that time Rodney accused John of ‘Kirking’ around he’d been wrong. Punish the idiots wrong. He still had some major apologizing to do on that front. Of course, Lt. Colonel - I can’t give you a clue- hadn’t helped. They’d lived together for three months before Rodney found out John was only slutty for him.

It was probably a good thing he’d never gotten around to sending that nasty worded data burst to Chaya.

This is the part that confirms Rodney’s brilliant decision. Well this and the way his heart and mind and soul needs John Sheppard like he needs to breathe.

John’s hand is on his face tracing the slope of Rodney’s mouth. When John draws him forward and kisses him, it’s with the most contented sigh Rodney’s ever heard and Rodney doesn’t know if it’s his or John’s.
