Title: You're Beautiful But You Don't Even Try
Pairing: Ronon/Ryan Ross! (plus background McKay/Sheppard, Pete/Patrick and Brendon/Spencer)
Rating: PG
Word Count: 2,371
Summary: Ronon tries to plan something special for Ryan Ross on Valentine's Day. Set in the With No Handlebars universe.
Spoilers for the series finale of SGA!
Title is from "Love Bug" by The Jonas Brothers.
Ryan's never even mentioned Valentine's Day, so Ronon had no idea it even existed until it actually happened, and suddenly Altantis was filled with cut-out paper hearts and people were going around handing little paper cards and flowers to each other and the mess is filled with couples sitting alone holding hands.
"I don't get it."
McKay sighs. "Look, I've already explained it to you three times. I don't know how else to say it. It's a completely ridiculous holiday with no significance and is just basically an excuse for candy and jewelry corporations to exploit the paying public into buying billions of dollars worth of unnecessary products, out of the misguided assumption that they'll get laid if they waste enough money."
"But it's a big deal." Ryan's never said anything about it being a big deal, but Ryan's busy in Los Angeles writing new music, so he has been a little distracted recently. Maybe he forgot.
"I suppose to some people, the more fortunate among us who are good looking and have significant others and don't have horrible memories associated with the day, like, for example, you buy your girlfriend a diamond ring because that's just what you're supposed to do, and then your girlfriend thinks you're proposing when you actually just wanted to buy a stupid ring so maybe she'd stop being mad at you for canceling your dates three weeks in a row. And then when you explain that you don't want to marry her, because marriage is a defunct practice that causes people to slowly die inside, she breaks up with you and throws the ring back in your face. And then you lose the receipt and you can't return it so you're stuck with this stupid probably-a-conflict-diamond from Zales. I suppose people to whom that didn't happen might consider Valentine's Day to be a 'a big deal.' Are you following me?"
Ronon blinks. "Not really."
"You're impossible," McKay says, right as Sheppard sits down next to him and hands him his jello cup.
"Happy Valentine's Day," he says, and Ronon smirks as McKay actually blushes.
"Oh. Well. Umm. Thank you?"
"McKay was just telling me how much he hates Valentine's Day."
Sheppard's face falls. "Oh. I think it's kind of nice," he mumbles, pushing his mashed potatoes around his plate with his fork.
Ronon feels a quick kick to his shin, and then McKay's saying, "Well, I mean. It's just, past experiences have...I'm sure that with...the right person...it could be...quite pleasant."
"Yeah?" Sheppard says, looking up from his plate with a hopeful smile on his face.
McKay smiles back. Ronon needs to get out of there.
So he says, "I need to get out of here," and does. Sheppard and McKay don't even notice.
Maybe Woolsey will have some better advice.
---
"Well, well, Ronon, I never knew you were such a romantic," Woolsey chuckles jovially from behind his desk.
Ronon had come in to find him watching What Women Want on the newly acquired big screen TV in his office. One day not too long after Atlantis had come back to Earth, they'd all discovered that they suddenly had cable, and Woolsey had remained silently shifty-eyed about the whole thing. Not that anyone has complained; Ronon doesn't think Teyla has turned off SOAP net since she discovered it.
("These soap operas are terrible and unrealistic, from what I have gathered about life on Earth, but I find myself quite drawn to them," she told Ronon when he joined her in her room to watch Tuesday's episode of One Life To Live. Ronon thinks David Vickers is pretty funny.)
Ronon shrugs. "I just thought I should find out what the deal is. Since I live here now."
"Oh, yes, quite wise. I never told anyone this before," Woolsey begins, "but I once planned the perfect Valentine's Day for my wife...candy, jewelry, a fancy dinner, you know, the works. Well, we're sitting at the table at the very expensive restaurant, and I give my wife the diamond necklace I bought her, and then she says, 'Richard, I have something for you too.' And do you know what it was?"
Ronon shakes his head.
"Divorce papers. It was the worst night of my life. Anyway, what was it you wanted to know about Valentine's Day?"
This isn't good. Ronon 'googles' it; Ryan taught him how. He sees all the stuff McKay and Woolsey have talked about; the diamonds and the candy and the flowers, and that it's apparently originally supposed to be about person named Saint Valentine, who was apparently a guy, even though Ronon thinks it sounds more like a name for a girl. He still has no idea what to do for Ryan.
---
Having run out of people on Atlantis to ask about Valentine's Day, Ronon calls Pete.
"I need your help."
"Dude, I am here to serve you. In any way you desire." There's a long pause, and then Pete says, "....that was a sexual innuendo, in case you didn't notice."
Ronon laughs. "I noticed."
"Good, you're getting better! Now tell Uncle Pete all your problems, and-no, Patrick, I'm not talking to Ryan...No, I'm not talking to anyone in The Cab. God, eww, you're disgusting. Hold on a sec," he tells Ronon, and then there's some muffled noises and voices before Pete's voice comes back on the line.
"Hey, I'm back. Sorry about that, Patrick was eavesdropping."
"There's a lot of, what do you call it, static."
"That's 'cause I'm sitting in the hall coat closet. He won't bother me while I'm in here. So, what's the deal?"
Ronon takes a deep breath; he's not sure why he's so nervous about this. "I need to know what to do for Valentine's Day. For Ryan."
Pete actually makes a ridiculous noise that's somewhere between a coo and a squeal. "Aww! That's the sweetest thing I've ever heard, dude. Ryan's gonna freak, for sure. You got any ideas?"
The stories that Ronon has heard from McKay and Woolsey are not really things that Ronon wants to include in his plans, and so far, those are all he's got, so he figures his list of ideas is currently at zero.
Pete tells him stories of grade school Valentine exchanges in class, when Pete got a Barbie Valentine from his crush, Maggie, in 3rd grade, Valentine's Day dances in middle school, that all seem to end in Pete getting dumped and going home with a black eye, to last year, when Pete filled Patrick's guitar case with hundreds of candy hearts and Patrick yelled at him but then he felt bad because Pete was just trying to be romantic and then Patrick did something awesome in bed (This is sort of how most of the stories Pete tells about Patrick begin and end; yelling, Patrick doing something awesome, usually relating to sex. It's what Ronon has heard Ryan call "TMI," though Ronon's not exactly sure why).
"So anyway, the point is, just go totally overboard. Valentine's Day is basically lame anyway, so like, just go for it, you know? Embrace the lameness. Get like, a fucking hundred stupid Valentines and some of those really terrible cupcakes with the neon pink frosting, and take him to a nice restaurant, and it'll be great. Trust me, Ryan's gonna love it, no matter what you do. He's such a sap on the inside, for real. Like, quote him some Beatles and he'll be like jelly in your hands. Putty in your hands, whatever. Oh shit, I gotta go, Patrick's yelling at me to come out of the closet. Little late for that don't you think," Pete laughs his stupid laugh that always makes Ronon start laughing too.
"Thanks," Ronon says, and he really means it.
"No problem, dude. Let me know how it goes."
They hang up; now Ronon has some work to do.
---
First, Ronon has to convince Woolsey to fly the city to Los Angeles, which isn't that far from San Francisco, according to 'google maps,' which is also something Ryan told Ronon about, so he could look and see exactly how close they live to each other now.
"Well, I don't know, Ronon. This isn't protocol...it's not an emergency strictly speaking." Woolsey looks at Ronon and his expression softens. "Though I suppose I could bend the rules for the sake of love. It'll only take a few minutes anyway. We'll go right away."
"Attention Atlantis personnel...we are taking a short trip to Los Angeles," Woolsey announces over the city-wide system. "Colonel Sheppard, please report to the control chair immediately."
Ronon grins.
---
Sheppard offers to help Ronon go shopping.
"I may pick up a few things myself," he says, shifting his eyes.
Ronon buys three shopping carts worth of supplies. Sheppard buys a box of Valentines with cats on them.
"What?" he says defensively, when Ronon looks at him and shakes his head.
"Nothing."
---
The only bad thing about this plan is that Ryan is living with Brendon and Spencer; something Ronon doesn't particularly like, he'd rather Ryan just came and lived with him on Atlantis, but Rodney told him that he couldn't interfere with "the process of their creative genius" by taking Ryan away from his band, so Ronon figures he can deal with it.
Spencer lets Ronon know via text message that he and Brendon would be happy to leave Ronon and Ryan the house for a few hours, and that he promises not to mention anything to Ryan.
Sheppard tries to use his knife to unlock the front door before Ronon remembers that he has a key; Ryan gave it to him a few weeks ago.
"Oh, well thanks for telling me that sooner," Sheppard whines as they lug the millions of paper bags into the foyer.
It takes them a few hours to set up, then Ronon makes a phone call and now the only thing to do is wait for Ryan to come back from wherever he is with Spencer and Brendon.
"Thanks Sheppard," Ronon says as he turns to go; Ronon doesn't really want him to be here when Ryan shows up. It will probably be 'TMI,' as Ryan would say. "McKay'll like the cat Valentines."
"I don't know what you're talking about," Sheppard coughs. "Well, good luck."
Ronon just hopes Ryan doesn't break up with him.
---
"Sorry Ryan, you can't come to dinner with us. I made a reservation only for two, for my special lady friend and me," Brendon's saying out in the foyer and then Ronon hears Spencer saying, "Please, if anyone's the lady, you are," and Ryan saying, "oh, great, thanks, I'm glad you went out of your way to make me feel so included," and then Spencer and Brendon are gone, and Ryan sighs.
"Like I wanted to go to dinner with them anyway," he mumbles, trudging into the living room and turning on the lights. He blinks.
"Hey," Ronon says nervously.
"Hey," Ryan says, looking around the room. "Umm. Wow. This is."
Sheppard had managed to string the room with heart shaped lights, glowing pink against the ceiling, Ronon bought as many sunflowers he could find and stuffed them in every possible vase or vase-like thing he could find all over the room, there's probably about 12 boxes of chocolates on the coffee table, and Sheppard had insisted on lighting a bunch of candles and putting on some romantic music. (Apparently Sheppard is a fan of Norah Jones, whoever that is) Ronon also bought a lot of the candy hearts Pete had told him about, as well as a variety of different Valentines.
Ryan walks over to the coffee table and opens one of them; it's got a picture of a teddy bear on it and it says HAVE A BEARY BEARY SPECIAL VALENTINE'S DAY. Ronon stands there, not sure what to do. He's wearing a suit jacket, and he feels weird.
"You talked to Pete, didn't you?" Ryan asks, amusement in his voice. Other than that, Ronon can't tell what his reaction to the whole thing is. It's not helping Ronon's nervousness.
"Yeah. You like it?"
Ryan looks around at everything again, and then down at the Valentine in his hand, and then back to Ronon. He smiles.
Then he throws his arms around Ronon and says, "It's completely ridiculous. Of course I like it. Happy Valentine's Day."
Ronon hugs back, feeling so relieved, and then Ryan's kissing him, and Ronon really missed him, even though they just saw each other a few weeks ago.
"I like everything you do," Ryan says softly, pulling away slightly before Ronon captures his mouth again.
When Ryan starts moving them towards the couch and pulling at Ronon's jacket, Ronon pushes him away.
"Not yet. We have plans."
Ryan laughs, a little breathlessly. "We have plans?"
"I made a reservation."
"Wow. Okay, I'll go change. Hey, did Spencer and Brendon know about this? I knew they were up to something. They let me tag along on their dates all the time. I'll be right back."
Ronon waits for Ryan to come back and sends Pete a text.
'he liked it.' Then he adds a smiley face, because Ryan uses them so much in his emails and texts.
'told u. have fun i sure know i will. buying patrick rare stuff on vinyl works evry time. if u know what i mean.'
Ryan comes back downstairs wearing a fedora and a giant scarf. Ronon thinks he looks great.
"Ready?" Ryan asks, and then he takes Ronon's hand as they walk out the door.
"You're not gonna break up with me at the restaurant, right?" Ronon asks, as they get into the back of the limo he reserved for the night. (Another one of Sheppard's ideas...Ronon wonders if McKay is enjoying a Valentine's Day for once)
Ryan frowns and then laughs. "What? Of course not. What kind of jerk breaks up with someone on Valentine's Day?"
"Okay," Ronon says, leaning down to kiss Ryan quickly. "Good."
Ronon thinks his first Valentine's Day is pretty great.
THE END
EDIT: Oh SNAP, this is like, the most sadly coincidental/ironic timing for this ending, huh? Picture me shrugging helplessly. Thanks, Ryan Ross.
This is so cheesy, please forgive me.
