mcsheplets Prompt #15. Touch.
Hewligan_100 Prompt #34 Not Enough
When we go to a briefing, I sit by his side, so close that my fingers stroke the back of his hands while we shuffle the pages, and read the reports. It's not enough.
Though I wave my hands around while I'm talking and brush his skin; it's never enough.
When the course of action is agreed upon, he claps his hand on my shoulder and I lean into the touch of his long, tanned fingers; then follow him out of the room.
As we walk along the corridor I adjust my stride to his; my left foot goes forward as he moves his right, our shoulders bumping lightly as we move.
We go through the gate side by side and he walks close beside me while I study the readouts from my scanner. He catches my arm to guide me, so I do not trip and fall. Throughout the investigation of the Ancient ruins he stands guard over me while Ronon and Teyla guard us both.
On the way back to the gate, we again walk side by side; talking of what we've seen, what we think the 'toys' we've found do, and he bumps my shoulder and laughs at some of the outrageous guesses we make.
As soon as we're back on Atlantis, we hand over the artefacts and go to the infirmary to sit on the same bed to have our after mission blood samples taken; and if I lean on him more than I should, he sometimes raises an eyebrow but never says anything. He doesn't shove me away, either.
I know that I've got a super-sized crush on John Sheppard; I've had it for a long time now. The fact that he's my friend and we hang out together doesn't help the feelings I have for him, but just being together where I can touch him, feel him sitting beside me, will have to be enough for now.
I crave his touch.
Will he ever crave mine?
