Summary: Rodney's ass gets singled-out for an after-mission ritual.
Notes: 4/100

Touch

The first pat on the ass freaked him out beyond belief. They'd just got back from a highly successful mission on P3X83 where they'd traded farming techniques and hybrid seed for meats and fruit.

Ford and Teyla were already in the jumper bay and Rodney was halfway down the ramp when it happened. The hand was there and gone in a fraction of a picosecond, leaving Rodney open-mouthed and gaping at John's back. The culprit sauntered off as though he hadn't shaken Rodney's world, his 'Good job, guys!' trailing along behind him.

After that, it seemed to become something of a ritual - a ritual focussed solely on his rump, Rodney noted. Neither Ford nor Teyla ever got a swat and Rodney felt absurdly flattered, proud, and somewhat special.

A couple of months of routine hand-to-asscheek confrontations, and then suddenly the squeeze came into play. The feel of John's fingers digging briefly into Rodney's buttock rendered Rodney mute for several minutes. He almost came.

'Routine', after that, became a swat-squeeze combination at the end of every mission, barring medical emergencies.

The fifth combo came complete with a smirk and raised eyebrow and Rodney finally decided that enough was enough. He shadowed his tormentor through the city to his room, and used his foot to stop the door from closing before scooting in.

"Major Sheppard, have you been flirting with me, or is there some new military regulation somewhere that parses out to 'Always Goose Your Geek'?"

John stared for several lengthy seconds and then stepped in close.

"Jeez, McKay, it took you long enough to get a clue!"

The rest of Rodney's quite acerbic, well thought-out, attack was silenced by John's tongue in Rodney's mouth.

Hee, aww, cute!

Rodney felt absurdly flattered, proud, and somewhat special - I really like that line :)

Thanks! :D

I think it should be a rule. *g*

Oh man, this is great. So much here with so few words. Funny and touching!

Thank you! :D

[sp23.livejournal.com]

Hee, John with the sly hand to cheek action. And yes, for a genius, Rodney is occasionally slow on the uptake. *g*

Great fun.

[darkhavens.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

John was being subtle - for him - that's why Rodney didn't get it straight away. ;)

[chaps1870.livejournal.com]

I'll bet a cup check would have gotten his attention! lol
Great little piece. *g*

[darkhavens.livejournal.com]

Ha! Indeed!

Thanks. :D

[othercat.livejournal.com]

Too darn cute. :>

[darkhavens.livejournal.com]

Thankee. :D

[mcalex22.livejournal.com]

LOL! I love this little ficlet. It had me cracking up when I got to the end. I love Rodney's rump and the thought of it getting squeezed, is rather enticing. Poor Rodney - took him that long to realise!

Great story and I'm glad John finally just shut him up with a kiss! :D

[darkhavens.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

John was being subtle, and for obvious reasons Rodney just doesn't associate John with subtlety, so it took a while. But he got there in the end! *g*

[tabaqui]

The hand was there and gone in a fraction of a picosecond, leaving Rodney open-mouthed and gaping at John's back. OMG, then:
The feel of John's fingers digging briefly into Rodney's buttock rendered Rodney mute for several minutes. He almost came.
Hee! love this, then:
"Jeez, McKay, it took you long enough to get a clue!"

Yayness!! I love the level of obliviousness that took Rodney so long even with this evidence of interest on John's part...and John just cracks me up here...LOL. Very nicely done, sweetie...'touch'...*snortle* Loved it—*hugs*

[darkhavens.livejournal.com]

Thanks! :D

Rodney's really not used to John being subtle. It threw him for a while. *g*

[toniabarone.livejournal.com]

*LOL* Cute.

[darkhavens.livejournal.com]

Thanks. :D

[mackeygenius.livejournal.com]

lol *tears of laughter in the eyes*

"Jeez, McKay, it took you long enough to get a clue!" <=== So John.

Very nice.

[darkhavens.livejournal.com]

Thanks! :D

[princess-s.livejournal.com]

Hehehe!! John's so naughty YAY!! I really liked how it progressed from gentle pat to squeeze it's great!

[darkhavens.livejournal.com]

Thanks! :D

BTW, you might want to start watching the sga_newsletter - it often has links to stuff that hasn't been posted to any of the sga comms. ;)

[princess-s.livejournal.com]

Thanks!!

I just got this LJ isn't sending posts to my email :(
And without sounding pushy, do you have an idea when you'll post the SGA dvds, I keep running to the door expecting them!
But no rush, I appreciate it thanks!!

[darkhavens.livejournal.com]

I'm not getting most of my comments either, which is driving me insane. I natter away in so many people's journals and i get frazzled trying to remember what I said to whom and where and then find it to see if they've replied. *g*

The discs should be in the post by the end of the week. I've been trying to find paper or plastic sleeves for them, as I buy my discs on spindles. My local computer shop geek keeps telling me they'll be in in a couple of days, but... *kicks them*

I haven't burned the S2 disc yet because every week there's a new episode and I want to get as many on there as possible so you're completely up-to-date when they arrive. I already have 2.11, The Hive, and I should have 2.12 by the time I post them off. ;)

Sorry it's taken so long. I'm an Olympic-class procrastinator. *g*

[princess-s.livejournal.com]

Oh thank you so much!! You're the best!!

*hugs*

[karamarie-mckay.livejournal.com]

Brilliant!

And, damn, I can't blame Shep for wanting to get in a pat and a squeeze!

[darkhavens.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

Yeah, that ass just begs to be grabbed... and bitten. *g*

[melagan.livejournal.com]

This put a grin on my face from the first sentence to the last. Thanks.

[darkhavens.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :D

[jissa.livejournal.com]

OK, this was hilariously cute! Of course Sheppard would focus on Rodney's rump, who wouldn't?

Really, it's amazing what you managed to do with so few words . . .

[darkhavens.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

I used to use a lot more words to say a lot less, and then I discovered the drabble form and got addicted to 'less is more'. *g*

And yes, who wouldn't focus on that biteable, squeezable, loveable... Huh? Wha'? *blinks owlishly*

[eccentric-alex.livejournal.com]

Hee. Nice little ficlet, well-written.

[eccentric-alex.livejournal.com]

Where is my brain? I also wanted to say, it might just be a side effect of having just watched about eight episodes of SG:A in a row, but I can definitely hear John saying that last line.

[darkhavens.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

I'm always relieved to know my 'voices' work - I'm still trying to hear John in my head but Rodney keeps drownng him out. *g*

And eight eps in one go? That sounds like heaven...
