Ficlet #2
Ficlet for speckleberry
Pairing: John/Elizabeth
Prompt: Bubbles
Elizabeth entered her office and stopped in the doorway.
“John?”
John Sheppard, yes the military commander of Atlantis, turned around and smiled at her like an innocent school boy. His feet were on her desk and he was holding a small bottle in one hand.
“Yes?” he asked.
“Why are you blowing bubbles in my office?” she asked, narrowing her eyes at him and walk around the desk to her own chair.
“Because I got bored while I was waiting for you?” he grinned again.
She wanted to damn him and that grin, when he grinned like that he could get away with anything. And he knew it.
“Where’d you even find it?” she raised an eyebrow and crossed her arms, leaning back in her chair only to have a whole squadron of bubbles blown in her face.
She was almost getting annoyed at him. Except he was too damn cute for that.
“Turns out Earth children aren’t the only ones with cool toys. One of the Athosians gave it to me, want a try?”
“I’ll pass,” she replied.
“Ok…well I just wanted to tell you that all my reports are done and right there,” he pointed at a stack of papers neatly placed on her desk. “And I’ll be in my quarters if you have any complaints.”
He stood up and walked out of her office and she eyed the pile of papers, not entirely sure if she felt like reading it at that moment. She leaned back in her chair for a moment, watching John walk through the control room.
Suddenly her eyes fell on the small bottle he’d left sitting on her desk. Instantly she knew he’d left it there on purpose. She smiled and picked it up.
So maybe a few minutes of pointless bubble blowing couldn’t hurt too much…right?
