Weir's eyes travel over the still body beside her. She's surprised he's not snoring, for some reason—perhaps because that's what Simon always used to do. Simon. She feels guilty for a moment, but he's in the past now.
Elizabeth's fingers caress the cheek turned slightly toward her as he faces her in his sleep. They never would have met in the first place if it hadn't been for Atlantis, she thinks. On the other hand, they might have, but it probably wouldn't have been as amazing.
She finds it interesting that they have such different personalities, yet they have so much in common. They get along so well despite their often clashing opinions. She feels as if she could share many things with him that she feels uncomfortable addressing with others.
A hand comes up to cover the one on his cheek. Opening his eyes, he looks at her softly. "That tickles," he complains playfully in a whisper.
"Sorry," she replies with a sleepy smile.
John moves her hand to his bare chest. She can feel his heartbeat, steady and unending. Neither speak for a long while, but they're still communicating somehow. She can see the worry in his eyes. She feels it, too. No one can find out about this—about them. At least not yet. They both know why.
"You need sleep, 'Liz'beth," he says.
"So do you, John."
"I know." He grins. "Care to join me?"
Elizabeth's lips twitch. "Why not?"
He pulls her closer and she lays her head on his shoulder. They both slip into dreams quickly.
