Oh, that was lovely! Poor John -- I loved the hyperventilation scene, it made perfect sense. And loved the resolution, as well. Thank you!

Thank you very much! I love dorky, panicked John so much, I could watch him flail his way through an emotional situation all day.

And John's brain simply shuts down. Tilt, error, does not compute; and his eyes flutter closed without him telling them to because what else is there to do when Rodney is kissing him? What else but hang on and dig his fingers into Rodney's shoulder and kiss him back as long as Rodney will let him, because this has to be some mistake, because Rodney is his friend and friends don't kiss, because John can't believe that Rodney might be just as insane as he is.

OH BOYS!

This is lovely. :-)

I love John's POV here, and the way that he only works out exactly what he feels towards Rodney after Rodney nearly dies and is partially paralyzed. Also the kissing at the end made me go all *heart-clutch*. *g*

Yes, well, Lt. Col. "I never see it coming" sometimes needs a little push to figure stuff out. *g*

Yay for heart-clutching, thank you!

Thing is, he doesn't know how to explain how perversely cheated out of his self-sacrifice he feels without sounding utterly stupid and selfish - and it is stupid and selfish. That is perfect. It's such a stupidly *real* feeling to have.

I really loved this.
