“We did this before?”
“Mm-hm.”
“Oh, that’s...huh.”
“Rodney?”
“Well, it’s just that-” Fingers danced nervously in the air. “Uh, that is to say...”
“McKay!”
“I just can’t believe that I would ascend if this is what I was giving up. Okay?”
John pulled away from Rodney’s neck and eyed the man’s fragile yet determined face. John ducked his head and let a smile pull at the corner of his mouth.
He lifted his head to meet Rodney’s blue eyes. “I’m just glad you decided it was worth coming back for.” He caressed Rodney’s cheeks with his thumbs, gently pulling the man to his lips once again. Mutual groans of pleasure filled the small bedroom of John’s - their - little house, but stopped after only a few minutes.
John stared at Rodney, seeing the man’s swollen lips and dishevelled hair. “What is it?”
Rodney shook his head. “Nothing.”
John lifted a brow.
After a moment, Rodney said, “This here. You and me. It’s...” He stopped, shut his eyes and took a breath. Rodney then locked his eyes with John’s. “John.”
John’s face softened. “You remember.”
“Yeah, well, no, not exactly, but it just felt... Feels. I mean feels. Still feeling. Lots of feeling. Good feeling, in fact. So-"
John huffed a small laugh.
"Right. It feels right. Somehow.”
Pulling Rodney to him, letting the other man’s weight remind John that Rodney was real and returned, he whispered, “Say it again.”
Rodney’s quiet voice reverberated through him. “John.”
