Author's Note: So, I know I've been writing a lot of anti-McKeller fics lately, so this is my way of saying, "Thanks for still reading!" This one comes to 299 words minus the author's note. Hope you enjoy! ~lg
oOo
"Yeah, well, I'll be a happy man when pigs fly!" Rodney's voice echoed out of the lab as Jennifer approached the door. "But, right now, I am not so happy."
"Rodney. . . ." Zelenka went on to explain his point, but McKay had lost interest in the conversation.
Jennifer stood in the doorway, leaning against the edge while wearing a mischievous smile. He knew that smile well. He'd seen that smile just a couple weeks ago, when he'd complained about how Tunney had saved Earth. And, again, on the Daedalus, when they realized their rooms were next to each other. And, again, last night, during their final evening before returning to their lives on Atlantis. Jennifer knew what that smile did to him, and she used it willingly.
She still couldn't believe she found someone like him. Even she had more relationship experience than McKay. That irritatingly gruff persona hid a man who was more caring than most people realized. Arrogant, condescending, rude, honest, brave, loving. . .the list went on. Jennifer loved this man.
Radek glanced between the two of them and realized the danger of staying in the room. Jennifer chuckled as he beelined for the door. She and Rodney were discreet, but the lab was out of the way. Very few people came to this lab, and she wanted a few moments of Rodney's time before they went to dinner. Stepping inside, she closed the door behind her and walked directly into his arms. This time, he didn't hesitate to kiss her.
A few minutes later, after raising his head to breathe, he grinned. "You know what?"
"What?" she asked as she buried her face in the curve of his neck.
He smiled down at her with child-like wonder. "I think pigs just flew!"
