unbeta'd coffebreakwritten smooch, and probably need a better title LoL
"You know, it's kinda funny"
"Huh?" Rodney was already back to thinking about the papers he'd been working on before John came by and stole him for lunch.
"Living in Atlantis totally spoiled me rotten, I kinda forgot about it."
"Wait, spoiled?" Rodney obviously had to pay attention to this, there was no way he was going to let Sheppard think that Rodney agreed with that stupid notion. "Ok, I know you love Atlantis ... but would you please not use a word like spoiled considering how many scars you brought back from there? Plus living in a place where the bad guys eat you as food should seriously be considered as well, your weird hang ups for Todd aside."
"Nah, I just... I can do this now." And Sheppard stops. Rodney barely manages to not walk right smack into him.
"Always so eloquent, and in case it escaped your notice, you're not actually doing anything." Rodney crosses his arms, waiting for Sheppard to get to the point. The papers still in the back of his mind because there was paperwork to handle, and Sheppard was stalling. As usual.
"Ah, but I'm about to fix that." Sheppard takes a step closer. "Right." Slides his hand onto Rodney's shoulder. "Now." And leans in and kisses Rodney. Right there, under open sky and the sun shining on them and people milling about everywhere. The square is busy with crowds rushing about and maybe no one notices them much. But Rodney does, notice. That Lieutenant Colonel John Sheppard is still in uniform, close and warm, and is kissing Rodney.
Rodney's lips feels cold when the wind brushes against his wet lips, bereft even though John is still right there. His breath against Rodney's face and his calloused hand curled around Rodney's neck, his forehead leaning against his just like Teyla would do - except not the same at all. He misses Teyla, it's been months since he saw her as they've been temporarily grounded on Earth. It feels vulnerable standing there with his back against the open square, the people walking around them and Rodney can't stop feeling like the world is intruding.
"Stop thinking Rodney."
"I can't."
John smiles that stupid smile, the one that Rodney's never seen much of out here where there are other people. "I know. I like you anyway." And with that John brushes his lips against Rodney's again, curled with a smile against his' still kinda baffled face about the whole... kissing thing. Here. Where isn't Atlantis.
"DADT. The repeal." This was extremely unusually slow for Rodney, he blames (John induced hormones) working in a non-military lab for the past month.
The satisfied smile on John's face, makes Rodney grin back and bump his shoulder. Lunch is over but Rodney will be sure to pick this up later, he will think of something... inappropriately public.
