A/N: This will be collection of short, unrelated stories about Rodney/Jennifer, so expect more chapters in the following days. Not all of the stories will necessarily be romance, they'll also be humour (and lots of it), friendship, maybe a bit of angst (not too much of it... not too big a fan of it), some more humour and some other stuff. So keep an eye out! Oh, and check out my other McKeller story, Finding Out. Enjoy!
'I am so sorry,' Rodney said as the door slid open to reveal a very angry Jennifer.
'Three hours, Rodney,' she said, angrily pointing at her watch to make the point more obvious than it already was, not that that would be necessary.
'Jennifer, I am so, so, so sorry,' Rodney said. Jennifer sighed and tilted her head ever so slightly. 'I should hate you,' she began.
'And you're well within your right to do so,' Rodney cut in, 'but I was working, and Zelenka had messed up the experiment, as always. I always get stuck doing his dirty work! And I was there, and I had to take of my watch and I had programmed my tablet to set of an alarm but it ran out of batteries,' Rodney rambled on faster than a supercharged railgun. 'And it was really fascinating and I forgot all about you, and… not to say that I think work is more fascinating than you are, and… wait, that didn't come out right. What I meant to say was that I find,' he continued, but Jennifer cut in. 'But I can't,' she said.
'You can't what? Oh, you can't forgive me, right. Well, I suppose I deserved that. I haven't exactly been the best of boyfriends, but you gotta understand that it's a lot of responsibility running the science department here, not, of course, that you're not important. I mean, you're pretty damn important,' Rodney rambled on, now faster than a ZPM-powered Daedulus-class ship flying through hyperspace.
'Rodney,' Jennifer said, but Rodney continued his mad ramblings. 'It's just that when you have the lives of people in your hands, it's hard to… wait, that makes no sense, you're the CMO, you have the lives of people…'
'Rodney!' Jennifer said a little more forcefully this time.
'Which is quite fascinating, and kind sexy… wait, that sounded wrong,' Rodney said.
'RODNEY!' Jennifer practically screamed. Rodney looked at her as if he had just now realised that she was, in fact, there, right in front of him. 'Yes?' he said, felling off-guard.
'But I can't,' Jennifer said. Rodney looked at her in confusion. 'You can't what?' he asked.
'I can't be mad at you.'
'What?' Rodney asked, even more confused. Jennifer gave a small laugh, and smiled at Rodney. 'You're cute when you ramble, you know.' Rodney just stared at her, confusion written all over his face. Jennifer smiled again. 'I should be mad at you, but I can't. You're too cute, and I like you too much,' she said.
'Oh…' Rodney said, just realising what was going on.
'Mmm. But next time, you better be on time, or else I'm gonna crack out the big needles during your next check-up,' Jennifer said, as she leaned in to kiss Rodney, who gulped. 'Big… needles…?'
'Mhm.'
'I'll be five minutes early.'
