Title: SOLITARY MAN
Summary: John is all alone in the world and this is sad and then Rodney comes back and this is good.
Rating: PG13
The air was really sad as John packed his bags sighing at each photo of his time on Atlantis. Even listening to Solitary Man by Johnny Cash didn't make him feel better because Rodney was gone. Gone to marry Keller and have super smart babies and leave John all alone on the SG-1 base with Ronon and Teyla. Without Rodney life was like a big black empty hole of dark depression.
I've had it here - being where love's a small word
A part time thing
A paper ring
Wearing his favourite black pants and black t-shirt John took one last look at the photo of him and Rodney sitting in a cave on NX111.
~ *~ (*Flashback!*) ~ * ~
"Oh my God John you are going to freeze to death" Rodney said as John shivered at the cave entrance because he was so bony and skinny people get cold easily. "Come here"
"I can't that would be kind of gay"
"No it wouldn't"
"Oh okay"
And Rodney held him tight all night long and it was the best day of John's life because Rodney was warm and cuddly and felt like home.
~ * ~ (*End flashback!*) ~ * ~
John sighed again and kissed the photo, shedding a single tear for all he had lost. He would never meet another man like Rodney he had tried dating before and all his boyfriends had been abusive it was way tragic just like his childhood which also sucked.
Then there was a knock at the door.
"JOHN! JOHN!"
John opened the door and was shocked because it was RODNEY.
"Rodney I thought you had gone to marry Keller"
"Oh yeah well we broke up she's in love with Lorne and I'm" Rodney took a deep breath he looked very worried.
"Gee Rodney that's too bad I -"
"JOHN I LOVE YOU" Rodney shouted so loud that all Atlantis could here but that's ok 'cause everyone else knew anyway Zelenka was all yeah whatever so was Lorne.
"WHAT" shouted John in shocked surprise then "Oh my God Rodney I always loved you the best too" and he kissed him on the lips and then they had sex.
~ * ~ (*After they have sex!*) ~ * ~
Rodney cuddled John just like the time in that cave on the planet earlier and John smiled like he had only just learned how to smile. "Rodney you know how you always said I am your hero"
"Yes John"
"Well now you are my hero too"
"But why" asked Rodney his voice welling up with tears because no one had ever said anything so nice to him ever before
"Because you rescued me too" said John and Rodney cried and they kissed the best kiss ever.
The End
