A/N: The instant I saw 20thcenturyvole's Rodney postcard, here (third one down), this story started taking over my brain.

Summary: Rodney's never said "I love you" to anyone because he thought it would sound ridiculous coming out of his mouth.

I'm glad it worked for you. Thanks!

I love your icon by the way. I miss that show, sigh.

Wow. Probably shouldn't have read that while on my lunch break at work.

Leave it to Rodney to fall in love and not know it.

Beautiful!

Eep, I can imagine. Livejournal sites are blocked where I work, which is probably good for my productivity, heh.

Thanks! Glad you liked it!

A beautifully self-conscious Rodney! I love it when people explore this 'social outsider' side of him. The short story was moving and sweet, the perfect read for the V-Day. Thanks.

mmmmmm.

tastycakes!

very believable Rodney-he's often too honest for his own good, and you've done a great job of capturing that, here. Plus, you know, hot, which is always a good thing.

Get 'em while they're hot and fresh! :)

Yeah, he strikes me as the guy who'll lie about taking the last of the coffee and not making more, but not about something like this.

Thanks!
