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.

Oh, this is lovely and sweet.

[purna]

Thanks! Lovely icon. Pensive John.

[adafrog]

Wow, very painful, and soft, and sweet. Brilliant. Thanks.

[purna]

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!

[purna]

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.

[purna]

I'm glad you liked it.

Thanks for commenting!

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.

[purna]

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!
