Rodney held the cup of blue jello in his hand as he walked through the infirmary. He went straight to Carson’s bed and plopped down on the edge of it, making the other man groan. “Head still hurt?” he asked.

Carson squinted his eyes at Rodney and slowly nodded. “Yes,” he answered.

“She must’ve hit you pretty hard. You know, Sora - the girl who knocked you out. Good thing Teyla was there to save you,” Rodney said with a huge grin. He then reached over and patted Carson’s arm.

“Yes, Rodney, I know I was knocked out by a girl,” Carson muttered before he crossed his arms over his chest. “No need to tease me about it.”

Rodney continued to grin. He pulled his hand back and reached up to cup Carson’s face. The other man looked at him with a furrowed brow and Rodney snorted. “Why are you looking at me like that?” he asked.

“Just waiting for the teasing to start again,” Carson grumbled.

“No more teasing,” Rodney promised before he held out the cup of jello to Carson. “I got you this.”

Carson eyed the jello for a moment before he took it from Rodney’s hand. He pulled the top off and began to eat it with the plastic spoon Rodney had also given him. He was just taking a bite when Rodney was suddenly climbing into bed with him, causing Carson to move over. “What are you doing?” he asked.

“Sitting with you,” Rodney answered. “Isn’t that what boyfriends do when their boyfriends have been hurt?”

“For weeks you’ve been telling me public displays of affection bother you but now you’re in bed with me...while in a very public place?” Carson said with a confused look.

Rodney merely shrugged his shoulders before tugging the spoon out of Carson’s hand. He dipped it into the jello and took a bite, swallowing before he spoke again. “We almost died, Carson. I almost died. You almost died. I’ve never came so close to dying before. Well, except for that one time when I toked on a joint in college and I was sure Godzilla was outside my window and--.”

“Rodney...”

“Sorry,” Rodney sheepishly muttered before he handed the spoon back to Carson. “What I’m trying to say is...I don’t care anymore. And, I think people know we’re together anyway.”

“Really?” Carson asked as he raised his eyebrows. “Like who?”

“I’m pretty sure Doctor Weir knows and I think Sheppard is about to figure it out because he keeps looking at us. Oh! And Grodin. He keeps looking at us too,” Rodney said.

“People looking at us means they know?” Carson asked with an amused look. “You really are paranoid, love.”

Rodney quickly shrugged before leaning over to softly kiss Carson’s lips, while being mindful of the cut below the other man’s nose. When he pulled back, he smiled and pointed at the barely touched jello in his hand. “Gonna finish that?” he asked.

“No,” Carson said as he held it out.

Rodney happily took it and started to eat as Carson snuggled against him. Leaning over, he dropped a kiss on the top of Carson’s head and smiled as he watch his lover fall asleep against him.

“Night, Carson. I love you,” Rodney whispered before he turned his attention back to the jello.
