DISCLAIMER: I do not own Stargate or anything remotely that cool. So don't sue me.

This came to me when watching Season One's "Home" when John says to Teyla "Remember the last of that popcorn we had?" or something to that effect. From writing this I got a few more ideas for cute little Sheyla moments.

For the most part they'll probably be one-shots, with the exception of the first three chapters, which sort of go together. And might be set in various seasons, Chapter one is set in Season One.

So, sit back and enjoy…..

THE LAST OF THE POPCORN

Scary Movies (Part 1/3)

Major Sheppard walked quickly towards only room in Atlantis (as far as they knew) that housed a make-shift movie theatre. This, when it came down to it, meant it was the only room with a couch and a DVD player. He and Teyla were going to have something of a monster movie extravaganza.

Right, so there were only three or four scary movies to pick from. At least one of them had been 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre' – maybe not scary, but at least good for a thrill.

"Teyla…" he said as he entered the room, "Guess what?" she raised an eyebrow at him as he handed her a bowl of popcorn.

"I do not know."

"This-" he said, taking his seat next to her, "is the last of the popcorn."

"Truly?"

"Mmm. So we better make this one hell of movie night." And he took a handful.

"Should we not see if others would like some of the popcorn?"

John smiled a little, he loved the way she said it – like her mouth wasn't used to the word popcorn. It was one of the many things he'd come to like about Teyla, the way she took her time to say unfamiliar words...the way her lips formed - whoa, talk about out of left field. He should just answer her. "Nah, besides they were invited and they said they had better things to do." And with that he started the movie.

While the film played, John kept casting sideways glances at her, doing his best to not get caught. She didn't seem to mind the movie, but he figured the next time they sat down together he should find something a little more lighthearted. Every day of her life must have been just a little terrifying – what with the Wraith. But Teyla had barely moved a muscle except to take more popcorn and throw a few looks in John's direction; which meant his eyes had to dart forward again, lest she see him watching her.

Somewhere near the middle of the movie the popcorn was gone, the bowl had been discarded and Teyla had asked only a few questions. Mostly about whether or not people really did things like that to one another on Earth, John just did his best to breeze over it. For some reason he felt telling her people did do terrible things to each other back home would make him look less appealing in her eyes.

Besides, there were more important things to think. Like the fact that Teyla had hardly moved an inch out of fear or shock from anything in the movie. And while not initially his plan, scary movies were supposed to have certain perks.

"This isn't having quite the right affect." He mumbled at one point.

She turned to him, "What do you mean?"

"Well, when this first came out on Earth and people went to see it, it freaked 'em out." he gestured to the screen, "Good date movie."

"Date movie?" and by the way she asked he knew she didn't know what that meant. So he would get to explain it to her.

"Date movies are movies you go to see...with a date." Yeah, he was smooth. But she was looking at him with those eyes, her eyes, and they were like a shimmering sink hole, one he really didn't mind getting stuck in. It took him a moment to get his mind back on track. "It's pretty much just a good excuse to get close – do the arm thing."

And in demonstration he yawed, raising an arm, and with next to no stealth, brought said arm down directly across Teyla's shoulders. He laughed and wagged his eyebrows at her, hoping he wasn't making a fool of himself. Or that she wouldn't grimace and scoot a little in the opposite direction.

With a smile of her own, she glanced at his hand, now mere millimeters from her shoulder. "And do women not find this an obvious attempt?"

He narrowed his eyes playfully," I was demonstrating, otherwise wouldn't have seen it coming; but yeah, they know and I don't think most of them mind. Sometimes girls back home get scared, this" he wiggled his fingers against her shoulder, eyes having moved back to the film, "makes it easier for them to snuggle up to their guy."

Teyla's attention was on John, mischief shone in her eyes and she asked, "And am I to…snuggle?"

He smiled inwardly. There was that delicate pronunciation again. He'd have to make a list of words he'd like to hear her pronounce – just to see how her smooth voice would interpret the symbols. Maybe he'd make a list and just listen to her read it every now and again.

"Well, you could – theoretically speaking." He looked at her, "Maybe experience one of, I think, Earths finer traditions." He placed a hand flat over his heart, "I know I wouldn't mind." There was a silence between them, and for a moment he thought he'd over reached. That now having invited her to get close she would take her attention off of him and return it solely to the movie. "Teaching you, that is." He added quickly, and turned back to the movie. "You know, traditions…and stuff"

By the end of the movie though, Teyla had moved closer. Her body had warmed his, and she seemed to fit with him. At one point her head had dropped so low as to rest on his shoulder and he couldn't stop the smile. It had been a long time since anyone had used him as a pillow. He forgot how much he liked it.

When they were cleaning up and gathering their things, he said with a smile, "Someday I'll have to teach you about spooning."

"Spooning? Is that a game of some kind?"

Oh, spooning was definitely one of the words he was putting on his list.

The next tow bits are formed off of this. Please R and R – takes two seconds! Also if anyone has any Sheyla moments they want to see, or things they thing would be cute but don't want to write themselves, let me know!!!

Thanks!!
