Prompt:Lines in the sand
Kink: Jealousy
Ronon isn't sure he's ever been jealous in his life. His one real relationship was with Melena and that had been so fast and crazy that he hadn't even really had the opportunity to be jealous.
Jen was different. He took his time with Jen. They spent so much time together. Sometimes they'd get dinner and find a quiet corner so they could talk, or he'd show her some moves in the gym. They went on long walks alone and spent time learning about each other's homes. They'd taken the physical part of their relationship slowly. One night they'd spent hours doing nothing but kissing. They didn't want to rush; he didn't want to rush her.
As crazy as it might seem, that night in the infirmary he'd…recognized something in Jennifer Keller. Something he thought would never again happen with a woman. So he was determined not to mess it up, not to drive her away by going to fast or asking for too much. They had plenty of time for all of that.
Since they were taking things slow, their relationship wasn't public. They made sure to spend time with the team as well. Jen would occasionally get a beer with Rodney or meet Teyla for breakfast. She was a fast addition to movie nights and no one seemed to notice that they were dating.
Unfortunately, that meant that the new batch of men coming in to Atlantis didn't know that they were together and that Jen was off limits. That was suddenly becoming a serious problem.
Especially with Major Powers who didn't seem to understand that, the infirmary was not the place to flirt with Doctor Keller.
Neither was the dining room, or the gym, or….anywhere on Atlantis.
And if he didn't stop it soon Ronon was fairly certain he was going to be going back in front of a panel of irritating people too explain why he'd bashed Powers' head in.
Especially after Jen had lunch with him.
So, a bunch of other people had been there too, she'd been sitting next to bhim/b.
Ronon knew he had to talk to Jen. He had to tell her how he felt, that he wanted them to be together and that he especially didn't want her seeing Major Powers.
Never one to take the best route, when the violent route was available, he ended up going a little too hard during their sparring session and accidentally dislocating his arm and leaving him with more than a few bruises.
This meant he ended up in the infirmary with Jen….where he began flirting again.
It was also, where Ronon threatened him until Jen yelled at him and banned him from the infirmary unless he was bleeding to death.
"What were you thinking?" she asked later that night when she cornered him in his room.
He shrugged.
"You can't just beat up on people for no reason."'
"There was a reason," he said, calmly, "He wants you."
"What?"
"He wants you, he flirts. I don't like it."
Jen's forehead furrowed, "But we're…I'm with you."
"I wasn't sure. We haven't ever…" he paused, "I wasn't sure."
Jen smiled and leaned up to kiss him firmly, "We're together. You sure now?"
"Yes."
"Going to stop beating up on unsuspecting Majors just because they flirt with me?"
"Sure…next time I'll just cut out their tongues before they talk to you."
Jen smiled, "That might be the most romantic thing I've ever heard. Why don't you tell me some more about that over there on the bed?"
Ronon smiled. As his mother used to say, the lines in the sand had now been drawn. Jen was his…and he was hers.
