Summary: Short McWeir drabble, post Seige 3
Author's notes: This was the response to the drabble challenge posted over at the weirmckayship yahoo group. It had to be exactly 181 words long, and contain the number 19 somewhere. It was inspired my Martin Gero's comment about the Weir/Sheppard hug on GateWorld that "sometimes a hug is just a hug." Have I mentioned I love that guy? ;)
oOo
Rodney walked past her door, again, completely unaware he was talking out loud to himself.
"This isn't a big deal. It was just a friendly hug…A friendly hug that lingered for alot longer than it should have," he finished with a grimace. He had been pacing outside Elizabeth's door, debating whether or not he should go in and confront her about her feelings for John. He stared at the coin in his hands. "Okay, so far I have 9 heads that she's in love with him, and 9 tails that she's not. So, 19th time's the charm, right? 19 is a prime number after all," he muttered as he tossed the coin in the air.
Before he could catch it, a hand stretched out and snatched it from midair. Rodney simply blinked at the hand that held the coin. Finally, he met the eyes of the hand's owner. "Rodney," Elizabeth said in a light tone, "sometimes a hug is just a hug."
She tossed the coin back into his hands, and he had to smile at the sight. "Tails it is."
