Yes yes yes, I'm slow and lame. But sheafrotherdon presented me with this which is part of this and there went my productivity for the evening.

Seriously, how is he so beautiful? Once I have more icons to make it worthwhile, I'll repost these at discolore, but in the meantime, feel free to take whatever you'd like. Commenting is lovely, because... well, it's Joe. And he's pretty. And I like to talk about how pretty he is.

(Also, for those of you who have read Phi, this is model!John. Yes.)




In other news: Did I just not say there went my productivity?? On the other hand, I now have an idea for my second prompt for paintedspires \o/

And afterwards, when the interview (the weekend) is over, and John has to fly to Tokyo and Rodney has to try his best not to get fired by Elizabeth, everywhere Rodney goes he sees him: driving down the 10 or darting into Starbucks in the morning, there's John's face.

When Elizabeth asks how it is an interview Rodney threw a tantrum over being compelled (coerced, Rodney corrects, I was forced) ended up taking the entire weekend, and why Radek was the one to tell her Rodney was staying for "a follow-up" and couldn't say it without cackling madly, Rodney ignores her. Either that or he doesn't hear her because he's too busy listening to the voice of reality (which is depressing, but much more insistent) saying that John's a whole day ahead of him, moving on, and clearly this whole thing is an aberration.

But then the next day, his Blackberry vibrates with a message from an address he's never seen before. And when he opens it, there's an attachment of a picture of Tokyo seen through the rain from a high-up hotel room, and a brief message that says "don't wish you were here. wish i was there."

Rodney's mouth quirks, and he replies with a screed on the importance of capitalisation and the perils of unhygienically prepared sushi and how Radek this morning had actually had to take pictures of a kitten who'd fallen down a well--and he finishes it with "Do you know when you'll next me back in L.A.? RM", which he feels is quite possibly the definition of nonchalance.

John replies ten minutes later with a reminder on the importance of spelling ('me,' McKay? and u rite 4 a living???) that makes Rodney wince in humiliation and swell up in indignation, but then he collapses into disappointment when John tells him he has to go to Thailand for three days and Syndney for another three.

But then: "back in LA next week. I'll call you," and to cover up his relief Rodney fires off a rant on how people who use netspeak have no business criticizing people who, apart from the occasional typo, are paragons of proper spelling and grammar. He hits send and tells himself he is not going to do anything so ridiculous as count days and hours, and also, that he's not going to spend the next seven days, ten hours, and thirty-two minutes grinning like an idiot.
