RATING: PG
PAIRING: John/Rodney
SUMMARY: The *real* last scene of Season Five
John remained on the balcony, leaning against the rail long after the others had left. San Francisco wouldn't have been his first choice but it certainly wasn't the worst place on Earth to land. He wondered wistfully what the chances were for a little sight-seeing before they were ordered to return Atlantis to Pegasus.
Reluctantly he straightened as he heard footsteps approaching. Before he could face whatever duty awaited him, strong hands turned him back toward the bay and a familiar body leaned against him.
"I thought she'd never leave," Rodney breathed softly against his neck.
