one thing that makes me really heart-clenchy happy

[aesc]

I am kind of crummy-feeling today, victim to the most recent campus-wide virus and general exhaustion following two weeks of (IMHO) very unnecessary stress.

But I was thinking over one thing last night before the cough medicine kicked in, and then I thought about it this morning while slogging through the rain/sleet/snow to class.


That Rodney calls John by his first name now. After three years of rank and/or last name, John sounds so much more intimate and makes Rodney sound so much more vulnerable because it seems like he saves it for when, e.g., he's pleading with John in "Miller's Crossing" or worried for him in "Harmony" and I just... My heart! What it goddamn does to my heart! It makes it do this weird meep-clench-eeeee thing that I didn't think my cranky, slightly cynical 29-year-old heart has ever done before in its life.

I can't even be reasonable or coherent about it, I LOVE IT THAT MUCH.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

I know that I've read Rodney saying John in a million billion fanfics, but in canon... I am sorry, but that just makes me excessively joyful. Oh, the two of them :>

*meep-clench-eeee's happily*

Christ yes. The only person I ever talk to about SGA is my housemate Matt, who, whenever I squee about Rodney's use of 'John' just looks at me, perplexed, and says "But... it's his name. As though it means nothing... sigh...

We know better though.

There's just no educating some people! *headshake*

Just after I posted this, the Matt in question watched some of season four which, because of some recent problems with his internet connection he hasn't been keeping up with.

So I'm procrastinating in the kitchen, on my fourth (fifth?)consecutive cup of tea, and then in he wanders with this (rather adorable) confused look on his face.

"Matt, dearest, whatever is the matter?" I asked, concerned. He frowned. He flicked his hair. He drummed his fingers on the table. Eventually, I get bored and take a sip of tea, at which point Matt announces:

"Sheppard is so gay for McKay." Then gets up and walks away, still looking perplexed, while I snort tea through my nose.

Perhaps there's hope for him yet :D

He can be taught! \o/

Good work, Matt!
