Summary: Rodney has a busy Monday
Chapter 1-
Rodney woke up at 6 AM on Monday, he was lying in bed and reflecting on a relaxing Sunday he had. He ate breakfast then hung out with John all day walking around the city, then playing chess then having dinner.
Now Rodney's brain was kicking in and his schedule of the day starting to run through, he has a meeting with his science department at 7:30 am, then a senior staff meeting at 10:00am, rest of the afternoon to worn on repairs and his projects on is lists to do.
Rodney walked into the lab right at 7:30 and saw the science department, the meeting went well he pass out duties and checked up on his staffs present projects. Now leaving Zelanka in charge, it was about 9"30 he was just to the main conference room; he came in saw the senior staff around the table. He sat next to John and looked at Elizabeth. She nodded and the meeting started, as the meeting progressed the heads of each department gave their reports. The highlights new security protocols John suggested, new stargate addresses. Now the meeting was over Rodney was ready for lunch. John cam to me and said, "Want to grab some lunch"? Rodney replied," yes thanks".
Rodney and John made it to the cafeteria they found a table and started to eat; Rodney looked on his tray no drink. Rodney did not even know John was gone and all of sudden a cup of coffee was in front of me. I looked and John gave him a smile and said, "How did you know I wanted coffee"? "You always want coffee; anyways I wanted to get you a cup". John replied. Rodney said, "Thanks". They finished their lunch in silence, and then they both headed to the conference room for the team meeting. The team was planning a mission to go and negotiate for supplies on a new planet, as Teyla was explaining some of what she knew of the people, Rodney was not totally in the meeting he was thinking about repairs and his projects, and other things. All of a sudden he just felt stressed, he felt John's gaze on him. Rodney looked at John and saw his concern in his eyes; the meeting came to an end. Everyone went on their way, John and Rodney were left. Finally John asked, "Okay Rodney what is up with you, you were not in the meeting"? Rodney replied, "I am fine just a little stressed, well it is Monday".
Rodney headed off to the lab, he got to the lave talked to Zelanka and then went off to do his own work, he got engrossed in his work that he did not notice what time it was.
John after eating dinner noticed Rodney was not there, when he finished he went off to look for Rodney. He knew where to look in Rodney's lab. John cam in and saw Rodney working on something, he walked up to Rodney and he did not even hear him. John put his hand on Rodney's shoulder and finally Rodney looked at him and John looked at Rodney. He asked, "Hey you were not at dinner, so I decided to pull you away from your work and get you some fresh air". They ended up grabbing some food and were sitting on the west pier, they sat their and then Rodney wanted to distress. He said to John, " Hey I want to distress so my day started off from busy and I did not get anytime to do any of my own projects kept on getting interrupted by my staff". "Sounds rough what a Monday". John said. "Yes for sure thanks for listening you a good friend". Rodney said. They sat there for another hour then headed back to the city; finally the both headed to their quarters and went to bed, then got ready for bed and another busy day in Atlantis.
Chapter 2-
The week went on as usual for Rodney no over the top malfunction; he got to focus on some theories and his projects. Finally Wednesday cam and that is the day he is going off world. They are headed to planet X130, where they are going to negotiate with the locals.
The team was planning to meet in the gate room at 9 AM, Rodney came into the gate room and saw his team all set and ready to go, as the gate dialed up John gave a glance at all his team member and looked at Rodney and gave a mile. Once the worm hole connected Elizabeth said, "You have a go and good luck". With that John lead the way through the gate, the negotiations went well, we got history of their culture and in one of the entries their was a indication of a ancient device. One of the scientists showed Rodney the device and we negotiated with them, they get medical supplies and the assurance of Atlantis protection. Then we get the device and their alliance.
Now the team is heading back to the gate, Rodney was talking to Ronon about what the device is. All of a sudden John put his hand up and we all stopped. John pointed to the right and there were a group of natives that were armed. Teyla, Ronon and John took point and Rodney found cover and was shooting.
John yelled to the team, "Head back to the gate, Rodney dial Atlantis". Teyla went in front of Rodney to cover me and I was almost at the DHD when I heard Ronon yell after Sheppard. I turned and saw that John was down and he was hurt. Rodney went into automatic action, he dialed Atlantis reported in that Sheppard was hit and have a medical team ready. Teyla went through the gate before I went through, Ronon was right behind me carrying Sheppard, Rodney followed after them.
Once Rodney found out John was stable he had to go to the debriefing with Elizabeth. Teyla told Elizabeth about our negotiations success then she said the group that attacked us was an underground group that went against what the main culture believes. Elizabeth said, "Well we will keep the alliance with the main native, but be careful of those groups".
Rodney by the time he ate dinner it was late and he knew Carson gave John a sedative so he is out for the night. I just headed to my quarters and go to bed, while I lay in bed I was thinking back on all the times John and I saved each others lives. And how I felt each time John almost dies, like today I felt the fear and a sense of uneasiness. At first I said to myself well we are good friends. Then he recalled the time John was missing on the planet and Rodney thought we will never get him back.
Rodney closed his eyes and focused on what he felt then and now when he was close to loosing John again. All of a sudden Rodney had an epiphany, I not only care for John as a friend but I have deep feelings for John. I love John and I have to tell him before he almost dies again. He does not want John to die or go on not knowing my feelings. Rodney decided okay I am going to visit John tomorrow and tell him the truth. With that Rodney went to sleep knowing he is going to lift a weight off his shoulders.
