John sat on his bed reading 'War and Peace'. It had been a long day. All the Athosian's were now once again on the city and tomorrow he and Ford we're going to the Mainland to sort out 'Operation: Werewolf' which Ford insisted on calling it.
The main thing John was trying to forget about the day was his fight with Elizabeth.
It had not taken long for it to spread round Atlantis that he and Elizabeth had another fight about her constant working attitude and John was certain it was Bates who started the rumour.
He was trying to forget because the fact the Elizabeth could be making herself ill because thinking about it was killing him. He loved her more then anybody he'd ever met and the fact that she was unwilling to talk to him about what was going on with her really hurt him.
He placed his book on his bedside table and slid down into his sheets. They smelled like Elizabeth. They always smelt like Elizabeth and that just got him thinking about her again.
She'd refused to talk to him for the rest of the day unless it was in a professional manner making it really difficult for him to apologise. When Beckett got back to Atlantis John asked him to check on Elizabeth. Elizabeth was pissed at him for that and in turn, Beckett became pissed at him because Elizabeth was being less then friendly.
He'd managed to patch things up with Beckett but Elizabeth was going to be more difficult then a few choice words.
John turned off the lamp on his bedside table and placed his head on the pillow trying and failing miserably to not to think about Elizabeth.
He laid there for a few more moments before the door to his quarters opened and someone stepped inside. He could make out who it was by the silhouette. It was Elizabeth.
"Liz…"
"Shh."
She walked over to the bed and slid in next to him. She placed her head on his upper torso. She placed her hand over his heart.
"I'm sorry."
She whispered so quietly that he nearly missed it.
He ran his fingers gently through her hair until she moved her head up to his and kissed him. She then placed her head back on his upper torso and within five minutes, both of them were asleep.
