Pairing - Ronon/Jenn

Rating - K+

Episode - Quarantine (413)

Summary - Don't you suppose the Infirmary should have had a dedicated power source? One Radek didn't have to disable and thereby turn off the lights? If anything, the lights go out at the beginning of the episode.

Great! Just great! Someone else telling me what I already knew. I don't belong. I'm not enough. All I want is to belong. "It's the story of my life. I skipped three grades and graduated at fifteen. Got my Bachelor's Degree before I was even old enough to vote. I missed out on a lot of things - any kind of social event. You know, parties and dances. I don't remember a time since Mom died where I belonged."

"Yeah, well, blowing up that tank - you really showed yourself." For a moment I'm dazzled by the twinkle in his eyes.

Wait! What? He's saying that I proved him wrong just because we tried to bust down the doors with the oxygen tank?

I survived the Bola Kai.

I stood up to Colonel Carter about Davos.

I freaking dealt with Rodney's hypochrondriac ways.

And all I needed to do was fail at bashing down doors? Maybe I should have done something like that sooner. "But it didn't work."

"That's not the point." And suddenly, I feel like I can conquer the world.

He scooted closer. That and his acceptance - finally - of me that allowed me to lean on his shoulder and close the last of the distance. The mood shifted. There was want and need in the air. The sanitized air of the infirmary turned sultry and sweet.

Ronon bent down just enough to invite a kiss. Good heavens that was all I needed. He'd been throwing me hungry looks for hours. I reached up and our breaths mingled. The intimacy of the moment made me tingle all over.

Nothing in my life prepared me for this. But I still had to move forward. I had to have this kiss. To back off now would mean I was weak like he originally thought me.

I reach up - or maybe he leans down more - and finally I fuse my mouth to his. He tastes spicy and wild and sweet all at once.

Oh God! There were flavors of forever in the kiss. How could that be so soon?

One of his big hands ran up the back of my neck and his fingers threaded through my hair. I like the idea of him mussing my hair.

The kiss went of forever. I certainly had no intention of breaking off the kiss. Breathing was as foreign and unnecessary as reaching up to and touching the sun. Besides, I was already touching the sun.

After an eternal moment, Ronon finally broke off the kiss. He leaned back against the med bed and visibly worked on slowing his breathing. I just sat there stunned and gulping air into my lungs.

"Please tell me that wasn't just a 'it was the moment' thing." I searched his eyes for the truth of it. It couldn't be, could it?

"I've thought of doing that for a long time, Jennifer." God! I love the way he says my name. Like fine whiskey in a tall glass - smooth and rough and burning through the soul.

I opened my mouth to respond when Marie came in the doors. She totally threw me for a loop. What was I going to say?

She took in the scene with a glance. "I've interrupted. I'll just go."

But Ronon jumped up. "I've got to go check on the team." He turned his jade green eyes on me. "I'll talk to you later. There's some things we need to settle."

To my eternal embarrassment, I blushed to the roots of my hair and nod my head. "I've got to clean up in here," I nodded. "Contact me when you get a chance."

A/N - Reviews are like pumpkin ice cream! Lovely and delicious! Also, when I get the chance, I'll add another chapter of their conversation but who knows when that will be.
