perfect fit
for gen_drabble thing 2: key
*
He should’ve been more freaked out about being (basically) nothing more than a walking key for the expedition-should’ve been, but at the time he was mostly trying to pretend this didn’t suddenly mean his mom was an alien.
And now, when he’s alone in the city (his city) and no one can hear, he tells Atlantis she’s the loveliest lock ever (because she is) and he’s happy to slot into her any day of the week and other things that sound only more ridiculous when said to a very old city instead of another person.
(He means every word, though.)
