Ronon walked into the lab, trying to find McKay. He hadn’t been answering his radio and Sheppard really needed to talk to him about the upcoming mission. Sheppard sent Ronon to ‘deal’ with him. Yeah, he enjoyed debating over what that could be.
“Hey!” Lt. Cadman popped her head out from behind a counter. She had large microscopic lenses on. “Sorry, I was running some scans on some samples we got from across the city.”
Ronon coughed and gestured that she still had the lenses on. She chuckled, pulling them off. “So, why are ya here?”
Ronon felt his stomach twist in a knot. He could deal with Teyla and Weir but Cadman…she was something different. Teyla and Weir were women he had gotten used to and was pretty sure that they were both into Sheppard. Cadman had never made known who she was into, though it certainly wasn’t McKay. And that’s what made Ronon nervous.
“Just looking for McKay…he uh, here?”
She shook her head. “I don’t think so. Unless he’s hiding from me.” She gave a little shrug. “Which wouldn’t be a first.”
“I still can’t believe you survived being in his head for so long.” Ronon leaned against a nearby counter.
“Oh God I can’t either. I can’t tell you how thankful I am every day for having my own body.”
Ronon found himself looking over that body. “I think we’re all thankful for that.”
Cadman glanced at him, noticing what he was doing. “You liking what you see?”
“What?” He snapped out of his trance. “No I was just--”
“Yeah I know what you were doing.” She smirked, still looking at her computer. “I wasn’t born yesterday you know.”
“I should hope not.” He crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow.
She smiled but then realized that he didn’t get the saying. “Oh!” She looked at him, her eyes widening. “It’s a saying from Earth. It means that I don’t fall for any lame excuses.”
“Your world is so different from mine.” He scratched the back of his head.
“It’s not that different. I mean, we’re both human. That’s a bonus for hooking up with someone.”
“You uh…have anyone you want to hook up with?” He waited nervously for the answer.
All she could do was look at him before McKay walked into the room. “I’m sorry Cadman, are you on a break? Because last time I checked, these samples didn’t examine themselves!” McKay turned his attention to Ronon. “And what are you doing here? I thought you were off playing Mr. Hero with Teyla and the Athosians.”
“Sheppard wants you.” Ronon tried not to come off extremely angry at McKay for interrupting him and Cadman.
“It’s just one thing after the other, isn’t it?!” McKay threw his hands up into the air. “What does he want now?!”
Ronon shrugged, which sent McKay straight into complaining about being needed everywhere in the city. Ronon stayed silent but found the time to roll his eyes at Cadman and watch her smile at him before following McKay out the door.
~***~
Ronon paced up and down the hall. He wasn’t usually nervous about asking a girl out but seven years of being alone had changed him. He punched the nearest wall to try and release the knot in his stomach.
“Hell of a knock.” He looked to see Cadman standing in her doorway. He realized that the door he had hit was right beside her door. “What are you doing here?”
He was surprised that his mind was drawing a blank. “Just wondering how you were doing.”
“I’m doing fine.” She walked back in her room before promptly coming out again. “But thanks for the concern.” She smiled and headed back into her room when Ronon called her back. “Yeah?”
“Are you still dating Beckett?” He could barely believe he was asking this question.
“Oh, no. It was just too weird regarding our first kiss.” She crossed her arms. “Why do you ask?”
He shrugged. “Just curious if you were single or not.”
“And why would you want to know that?” She smirked playfully.
“Because I wouldn’t feel right asking for a date from someone who was already in a relationship.”
“And uh, when would this date be?”
“Tomorrow night…around seven.” He couldn’t help but smile slightly.
“Maybe I’ll see you there.”
“Maybe.” He was really smiling now. “Later Cadman.”
“Laura.” She corrected him.
“Laura.” He repeated back to her. She finally smiled and he left to head back to his room.
~***~
“So…I guess this is it.” Ronon stood with her beside her door.
“Yeah I guess so.” She couldn’t help but be sad that their date was over. It had been going so well. “Well, good night then.”
“G’night.” They stood awkwardly in front of each other, neither of them moving.
Laura finally decided to break the silence. “Are you going to go or…?”
“Yeah, I just wanted to…” His hands were clenched into fists, another knot forming in his stomach. Trying to forget his nervousness, he leaned forward and kissed her lightly. She was surprised for a second but it didn’t take her long to kiss him back. Both of them enjoyed the new taste, getting closer to each other as the kiss deepened.
Laura pulled away, not able to take it any longer. “Do you want to come in?”
“I don’t know if that’s such--” She grabbed his shirt and pulled him inside before he could make any more objections.
~***~
“Ronon!” She called out angrily as he headed down the hall.
“Hey.” He turned around, smiling at her and not realizing that she was angry.
“Don’t you ‘hey’ me! I heard you’ve been talking about our sex life with the guys.”
“Was that a problem?” Ronon was starting to wonder just how angry she could be at him.
“Yes it was a problem! You told them I was your ‘sex kitten’!” Her face was flaming up in anger. Ronon couldn’t find the words to calm her down. He was wincing under her fury.
“They were--I was just--” He couldn’t think up a decent excuse.
She pushed him up against the wall behind him and slapped him. “You should know by now that I’m a sex lion.” His eyes widened in shock and he looked back to see her smirking. She pulled him closer, kissing him hard. He barely had time to kiss her back before she was off running back to her room with him immediately following her.
