Awkward positions and Saturday Panties on a Wednesday.

[no_russianbride]

There was a pile of laundry on her bed, actually clean and still a bit warm from the dryer toward the bottom of the pile. She had no clue how that had even happened since her quarters weren't exactly close to laundry service, but she managed it. She reached into the middle of the pile pulling a tank top out and tugging it on over her head as she

Jim was bored. Again.

Carson had kicked him out of the lab, Rodney had fucking *reported* him for dicking with the sensors to track his movements throughout Atlantis and send them straight to his palm pilot, making it beep constantly, and Mike wasn't letting him pester Zalenka about taking apart any more of the puddle jumpers...the sounds of the sensors taking readings on Jumper 12 still played out the melody to "Smoke on the Water".

The worst part, though, was Mike not being around...on the mainland with Teyla. With a lack of a "playmate", Jim was left to his own devices...and that was dangerous, at least sometimes. Addie, however, wasn't even busy at the moment...Jim had hacked personnel files from his quarters and looked at her duty roster himself.

So it was that Jim let himself into her quarters, ambling in with arms swinging and cheeks puffing out with a long, dramatic sigh as he looked around for her. "Dimples?!?! Yo, Ruskie, where you at?"

"Ow!...Ow and OW!"Frowning at the grunts coming from the direction of the bathroom,

Seeing Jim shouldn't have startled her, but really it had. Her heart nearly skipped a beat when he showed up in her bathroom teasing her. Once she got over the initial shock of it though she just laughed. Her hand went to her forehead pressing fingertips to her temple just laughing, "I needed more than a hand apparently."

Jim had her leg in hand and was pressing against the knick that she had sliced into her leg, "Thanks. All those years of doing this, and I still haven't gotten the hang of it, well I have, but it comes with a cost."

Laughing again she smiled over at him, "Hi. So... just in the neighborhood were we?"

"I was bored." Jim replied with a smirk. "And I was thinkin' about goin' in and screwing with the city's sensors to sound the gate alarm whenever Rodney enters the mess hall. But I'd prolly get busted down for that, so I came to see you."

Once the cut stopped bleeding, Jim set the towel aside and extended his hand for the razor silently. When she didn't give it to him and simply looked at him strangely, he grinned and leaned over to snatch it from her. "Gimme that...doctor here. Best leave legs *this* valuable to a professional."

Addie had already noticed Jumper 12 had Jim's fingerprints all over it, and the thought of him tinkering around and messing with Rodney actually amused her. Her laugher hinted with her natural accent a bit, until she managed to quiet it a bit

[no_russianbride]

Addie had known Jim for almost twenty days at this point. When she wasn't around him she missed him, when she was with him she couldn't stop smiling, and she knew how he made her feel. He made her knees weak with a low whisper, and brought out a playful side that she hadn't remembered she actually had. She knew there were things that neither of them knew about the other, but he stood there pressed against her confessing how he felt about her and she wanted to go with it, she wanted to simply tell him that she loved him too. It was almost a knee-jerk reaction that she had, but she didn't want to be that girl that said the standard response

[irish_sherlock]

For a moment, Jim was a little taken aback. He knew she loved him...he'd read it off of her days ago, but *hearing* it made it real...that damn cat coming back to bite him in the ass again, only this time the bite felt a little like getting hit by Cupid's arrow.

And it felt good.

Jim instantly sobered and nodded. "Okay...well. I think that a moment like this one deserves the proper recognition, gravity, and mature reflection that an admission like that warrants."

He stilled for a moment...sighed deeply...then suddenly stooped to wrap both arms around her waist and hoist her up into his arms, feet dangling down as he held her close and blew a raspberry against her collarbone before swinging around, throwing his head back, and howling in delight. "Ya-HOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!"

There was a brief moment of brow furrowing as Jim's demeanor shifted to a more serious tone that Addie rarely saw, but when he picked her up all she could do was go with it. Her eyes shut tight, nose crinkling up in an amused expression as he, no doubt, made sure that everyone in the wing had heard him

"Magic." Jim declared soberly, then after a beat his upper lip curled up on one side as he gathered her against him, took her hand in his, and began to waltz her towards her bed while he began to sing in his finest Elvis impersonation. "This-MAAAGIC-moment..."

Her laughter was his reward until the moment he sat down on the edge of the bed, tugging her to sit astride his lap. Kissing her deeply, he broke the kiss instead to press a trail of kisses along her collarbone and down the center of her chest...then playfully blew a raspberry against her skin, just above the valley between her breasts.

"Now how unfair is this...you ain't naked yet, and I ain't even close." he finally declared with a grin, shifting to peel his t-shirt off over his head and cast it dramatically aside just before flopping back onto the bed, dragging her with him.
