“Did you do that?” Rodney asked.
John looked down at the ribbon, tied lopsidedly around his wrist. “Ada,” he said. “She said I looked sad, and needed a ‘happy color’.”
“Yeah?”
“Yeah,” John said, tugging absently on it.
“And are you?” Rodney asked. “Sad?”
“No,” said John, quickly, “it’s just… It’s been five years, Rodney. Since we left Earth. And I just wonder-”
Rodney cut him off with a deep, hard kiss. “Stop it,” he growled. “I don’t regret it, not one second. Understand?”
John looked across the room, where their laughing daughter was mirroring Teyla’s stick-fighting pose. “Yeah.”
