Rodney was jolted awake by a knock on the door. He slowly sat up in bed grumbling wondering who the hell was coming to wake him up at this ungodly hour. He had a long day watching the man he secretly loved from afar have the life sucked out of him over and over again. He just wanted to go to sleep and forget about it.
But for some reason he couldn’t even be granted that.
“I am coming!”
With a huff he walked to the door eyebrows furrowed and ready to strike.
“What the hell do you-“
He quickly stopped himself when the door opened. There standing in the doorway was John Sheppard. His eyes were puffy and red and his face was pale and shaken. It shocked him because he was used to the other man being a strong stoic figure….yet here he was. His strong emotional façade he had shown to Atlantis had been compromised and now he was vulnerable.
“John,” Rodney simply said.
“I can’t sleep,” John said with a raspy tone of voice he had obviously been screaming, “I don’t want to sleep alone.”
Rodney began to step out of the room.
“I’ll take you to-“
“No….I….I want to stay with you.”
Rodney’s face twisted in confusion. Maybe he was giving into his feelings. Maybe he was thinking too hard…but why was John asking him to do him this favor. No he shouldn’t be thinking about himself. John had a harder day than he did…it was more about him than it was about himself.
“Come in,” Rodney said John quickly walked in and started to move towards his bed, “I’ll sleep on the couch…you get-“
“No…I want you with me,” John interrupted him once again, “It’s just, I know it sounds weird……but I need someone to hold me and for some reason…I feel safe with you.”
It was all Rodney needed to hear. With no more objections Rodney slipped into bed. John quickly followed crawling over to Rodney and laying his head onto his chest. On instinct Rodney ran his hand down his spine. Not a moment breath later John was contently laying fast asleep on his chest.
