Summary: John is such a good buddy.



Rodney, flat on his back, stretched his legs out with a self-satisfied sigh. He’d slept well, worn out from their hike tracking Jennifer on the planet and the fight with the Wraith. He smiled down at the top of John’s head, which was pressed up against his side. John was strangely cuddly in bed. Things went so much better with the whole dating thing when he wasn’t acting desperate, and regular sex with John took the edge off and allowed him to take things slowly with Jennifer.

He sensed he was winning out over Ronon. Jennifer had saved the teleportation device for him; clearly she’d had her mind on him while on the run.

This fuck buddy idea of John’s was the best ever. It had been great after all the running and fighting to come back to his room and find John waiting. He’d been too tired to do much in bed, but John had incredible patience for cock sucking, and he’d given Rodney one of his fantastically long, slow blow jobs. Afterwards, he’d turned aside Rodney’s offer to get him off with a little hand job, saying he was tired and curling up with one hand draped over Rodney’s chest. John had been looking tired a lot lately. Maybe all the stress of life in the Pegasus Galaxy was getting to him.

He patted John’s ridiculous hair fondly. They would have to stop once things got more serious with Jennifer, of course, but that was the beauty of being fuck buddies. They’d go back to being best friends, and he’d have a steady girlfriend. Everything was looking great.

John’s hands tightened around him, fingers clinging sleepily when Rodney sat up, and he had to peel each finger off in order to get up. His day off was over and it was time to get back to work.

He could feel John watching him get dressed when he came out of the bathroom after washing up. “Bathroom’s empty,” he said. John always got up whenever he did. But John continued watching him silently as he gathered up the things he wanted to take down to the lab. It was starting to make him a little uncomfortable. “What?”

John shrugged. “Nothing.” He rolled to his feet in that annoyingly graceful way he had and headed for the bathroom. He looked like he hadn’t slept well.

“Hey,” Rodney said. He leaned in and gave John a kiss. It still surprised him how much John liked to kiss, little short kisses as much as real kissing during sex. John was a strange guy. “I’ve got to go,” he said, gesturing toward the door awkwardly.

John was chewing his lower lip in that cute way he had. “Yeah, sure,” he said. “I’ll see you later.”

Rodney smiled as he made his way down to the lab to drop off his stuff before breakfast. John always made everything easy. It was going to be another great day.

Meep!

Oh Rodney, you sweet, oblivious idiot. Even when you're with John you don't know what you mean to him.

And John *hugs* Poor thing. He can't/won't tell Rodney how he really feels, but it's killing him.

Rodney better have his epiphany pretty damn soon.

Ohnoes! Rodney, you idiot! Can't you see that your great 'buddy' is in love with you? I just want to hit him over the head so he'll see the truth. *sigh*

A wonderful little tag that makes me desperate to read how this'll turn out. *hint hint* *g*

Rodney can really be a moron sometimes. I like to think he's as out of touch with his own feelings as he is with everyone else's.

This episode made me fell so, so bad for John, and more than a little angry at Rodney, so I've taken my revenge by writing this tag.

And a well deserved revenge it was too!

My heart went out to John at the beginning of the episode when he stopped by Rodney's room to tell him he loved him and that he's totally jealous of Rodney's attentions to Jennifer and that they could be so good together if Rodney would just pay attention to what John wasn't telling him for once! And then poor John had to rush out of the room so he won't burst into tears before his beloved. *huggles him*

Oh, Rodney. You are the stupidest genius in two galaxies! The only reason you need to see Jennifer is for your incredibly advanced case of craniorectal impaction....

Teyla needs to hit him with clue sticks. Poor John....

This is the kind of episode that makes it easier to accept the closing of canon. Then everything can and will be fixed.

I liked this piece and I feel bad for John too. And I'm so happy this fandom is thriving even though the writers were trying to throw us off with unconventional never-ever-going-to-happen sad excuses of relationships. Srsl. I was only waiting for Larrin to come back and steal John from us too. At least John went out with dignity (Rodney wasn't as lucky) instead of with horrendous I-must-love-her-I-must-love-her cluster f*ck *shudders*.
This story was good :)

Oh, thanks, I'm thrilled that you liked my little story! I'm so glad the show is over. Now all of our very talented SGA authors can fix things. I'm anxious to see all the different ways they put this atrocious debacle to rest.

I've already forgotten all about that Larrin thing.
