Aie, transporter maintainance. Again. He'd had to postpone a date with Jonny because, apparently, this one little transporter off at the fringes of the utilized portion of the city couldn't wait even one day to be repaired...

The Marines rounded the corner, coming back from a long run. Their t-shirts stuck to their chests in vees of sweat as they joked with each other. Seeing the technician workig on the wall panel, one nudged the other and indicated the lone guy. The other Marine nodded and they walked up.
"Say, you're that guy who works in the control room, ain'cha?"
The first one spoke as well. "Yeah, the one with the really *young* boyfriend. You trying to make people think there's a stereotype for a reason, dude?"
They watched him stand up warily, and one moved to his other side. "You know, it just ain't right, picking 'em that young. Don't know why he's here, but he sure don't look like a 'consenting adult'..." They stepped closer, preventing the tech from running.
"No, he doesn't. Maybe we should teach you to pick on someone closer to your own age...Chickenhawk."

Chuck looked up as the marines stepped up behind him. He stood as they started talking, but let them finish before he said anything, mind working furiously. He'd anticipated that there might be trouble over Jonny being so young, but he hadn't thought about it past that. Stupid of him, he knew. But somehow, he'd expected that Jonny would be the one getting picked on, after what had happened with Dr. Parrish, and he knew Jonny could take care of himself.
Unfortunately, he didn't know that he could take care of himself.
"Hey, he's legal. They wouldn't have sent him to Atlantis if he hadn't proven himself capable of making rational, mature decisions."

One Marine looked at the other and shook his head. "And it's disturbing that you're concerned about what's legal and what's not. We're pretty far away from any courts. You think maybe he got sent here cause he had to get away from people like you? After all, he *looks* pretty young. What are other cultures gonna think, us letting our kids get picked like a little lamb? Tsk Tsk Tsk..."
The other Marine just shook his head. It was like a really bad gangster movie. "I'm thinking just a little warning. Let the kid find himself a nice young Athosian boyfriend. You, on the other hand..."
The first marine delivered a sudden, swift punch, right to the technician's gut. Watching him double over in pain, the next hit came to the side of the head, knocking him to the floor. "Maybe from now own, you'll play in your own age group."
On the way to where the Daedalus is parked to meet Danny...jonathan_oneilMarch 21 2006, 17:11:11 UTC
Jonny was excited. Daniel was finally here. He'd missed his friend. Teacher. Former lover. Whatever. He has his hands stuffed in his pants pockets, as usual, and there's a definite bounce to his step.
Until he rounds the corner to the transporter and finds Chuck cornered by two marines. He's just in time to see one of them knock his boyfriend to the floor.
"HEY!" Jonny takes his hands from his pockets as he jogs over. He pulls the marines then situates himself between them and Chuck. "What the hell is going on?!"

The Marine only stumbles back cause he's caught unaware. And look, it's the kid himself. He puts a hand on the kid's shoulder to hold him out of the way. "Look, kid, why don't you just run along. We're just taking care of a few things here. Making sure you're not... uh... being coerced, ya know. Go on, now. We'll take care of him."

Chuck looks up from where he's curled up on the floor when he hears the Marine speak to Jonny. He's had the breath knocked out of him and can't quite manage a warning, so he settles for shooting the man a frightened look. He's not entirely sure he wants to see what he knows is coming...
Re: won't let me post as anonymousjonathan_oneilMarch 21 2006, 17:46:48 UTC
Jonny stills, not moving despite the nudging. He looks pointedly at the hand on his shoulder then at the marine. "Remove your hand." He's almost disappointed when the marine complies.
His face hardened as he went into what he'd privately called Colonel mode ever since his tiff with Sheppard. His voice holds the authority and volume of a drill sergeant and his stance shifts to that of an annoyed officer.
"What part of 'consenting adult' did you not hear, Private? Are you hard of hearing? Do I need to send you to Doctor Beckett for a complete physical exam?"
Jonny stepped up to the marine, purposely getting into his face. "I'm sure you at least heard what happened to the last marines that shamed their branch of the military and our country. Last report I got, one of them was even killed when he foolishly tried to escape his punishment."
Voice low now, it holds the promise of very painful consequences; promises a seventeen year old shouldn't even know about. "There is never a good enough reason to attack another human. No matter what

The Marines watch the exchange. Hoffman's eyes narrow at the Tech's description of pinning the boy to the bed, but the boy replies in a very affectionate way. They remain at attention, hoping the couple have forgotten about them. It's pretty certain they'll be on the worst duties imaginable in the near future...
Re: Anonymously, reallyjonathan_oneilMarch 21 2006, 18:44:43 UTC
After a moment Jonny stops them. "Wait, almost forgot something." He turns and jogs back to the marines. He stares at them for a long minute, once again appearing older than he looks. "Spread the word: if you, or anyone touches Chuck Lenoir again, for any reason, they will find themselves 'training' with Ronon twice a day--morning and evening--for the rest of their tour. Is that clear?"
He waits until they reply then nods. "Dismissed. Now get out of my sight. I feel sullied just looking at you pathetic excuses for marines." Jonny waits until they leave before going back to Chuck. "Sorry. Where were we?" He smiles at his lover as he takes his hand again.
Re: Anonymously, reallyravenlaughingMarch 21 2006, 18:52:36 UTC
They cringe, somehow knowing he'll follow through. When he dismisses them, they almost salute. Looking at each other, the Marines decide it's a good time to finish that run. Back the way they came.
