I don't own SGA... This is an AU and a little something I wrote for my bestest friend ever. Happy 16th birthday girl. I hope you like...
It wasn't long after Teyla returned with her team from a mission-that involved trade- that she went to her quarters to meditate before going to and Ronon had went to bed while Rodney went to eat. We arrived back quite late so most everyone was already asleep. Elizabeth had stayed up till we got back. I suspect that she's keeping Rodney company until he goes to bed like she does when any of us cant sleep. A know o my door interrupted my meditation. With a sigh, I got up and waved my hand over the control panel to open the door. To my surprise, Ronon was on the other side. He was looking down as if he was thinking about what to say.
"Ronon?" I looked up at his face, "What's wrong."
"Uh…nothing. I just wanted to talk to you about the mission." Ronon looked around him without meeting my eyes.
"Come in." I moved to the side so he could bet by then shut the door.
It was silent for a ling time while Ronon looked at the room as if it was the first time he'd seen it. Then he looked at me in the eye, "He was using you, Teyla."
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"On the mission. He was trying to get more out of you than what was fair." Ronon crossed his arms over his chest. I could see his muscles as his shirt strained around him.
"I had it under control." I explained, "Sometimes it is best to let them thing they are in control."
"I still don't like people using you like he did." Ronon said "he" as if it were some disease.
"I will be fine, Ronon." I smiled at him.
"Alright. Um…goodnight." Ronon left.
"Goodnight." I whispered after him but it was too late. He was already out the door.
Strange. Ronon has been acting a little protective of me lately. I don't know why. When I ask he just shrugs and says the it's because I'm a friend but he doesn't act this way towards any of his other friends. Deciding it was too much to worry about tonight; I crawled into bed and went to sleep.
The next morning, I sat in the cafeteria -alone- eating corn flakes. Usually John, Ronon, and Rodney are here eating with me but today they were gone. Rodney would probably be in his lab. I'm not sure where or what John and Ronon were doing. I watched as Weir walked into the cafeteria, grabbed a bottled water, then left again.
It wasn't long until I was finished eating that John and Ronon entered the cafeteria talking about the sparring match they just had. John grabbed an apple then they sat at my table. Ronon next to and John across from me. I didn't really pay attention to their conversation. It had something about "cheating" and "not being fair" but that's all I got out of it. My mind was on how close Ronon was to me. I could feel his body heat radiating off of him. Usually, Ronon sits at the edge of the table so it was pretty close.
Sometime during their conversation, Rodney had a tray of food and sat next to John. He didn't talk much. He just paid attention to the food that was in front of him.
