The Question
A Stargate: Atlantis Fanfic
Pairing: McBeck (established relationship)
Rating: T (for language and slash)
Rodney McKay sighed as he walked through the halls of Atlantis from the transporter to the room he shared with Dr. Carson Beckett. They both took extra careful measures to make sure that they were never followed. Even though they did their best to keep their relationship a secret, they knew some day, someone would find out. McKay pushed the unhappy thoughts out of his head; all he wanted right now after a long off-world mission was to spend a nice quiet night with Carson. "But what if he says 'no'"? The back of McKay's mind kept bugging him. There was an object burning a hole in his pocket, "He'll say 'yes', I just know it and that's all I have to keep telling myself".
Later that night, Carson lay on Rodney's chest and he knew something was up. For starters Rodney's pulse was quicker than normal, even though they had just had sex and Rodney was known to get excited, his pulse never got that high. "Alright love, what's wrong?" Carson quietly asked. "Nothing" Rodney murmured. "Liar". Carson couldn't see the little black box that Rodney had been fingering underneath his pillow. "Rodney, don't make me force it out of ye". Rodney gulped; even though Carson was gentle by nature the good doctor could be rather…rough with certain parts of Rodney's body. "Ye brought this on yeself." And with that Carson pulled on Rodney's member. "Gah! Christ Carson!" Rodney yelled. "Tell me what's on yer mind love, or I'll keep pulling." Carson lovingly winked at him. Rodney could never stay mad at his lover for too long, not with those eyes. "Fine" Rodney said as he sat up, gingerly lifting Carson off him. "Carson, there's something I've been meaning to ask for a few weeks, and even know it means exposing our relationship to the rest of Atlantis, I think it's time." "Rodney, what are ye-?" Before he could finish his sentence, Rodney brought out the box he'd been fidgeting with "Dr. Carson Beckett, will you marry me?"
Dun Dun Dun! What will Carson say?
