Chapter 4: McKay/Weir
McKay was just on his way to find Dr. Weir when he noticed her walking down the hall with Teyla. The two were laughing about something. But when he walked over to them, they immediately became quiet. He frowned and then asked, "Private joke?" He wondered if they had been talking about him…
"Something like that…" Teyla said before she quickly excuses herself and continued down the hall.
Rodney had the feeling something was going on, but he quickly dismissed it. He decided he really didn't want to get involved, especially if it involved two scheming women. "Oh, Dr. Weir. I've been looking for you. I have some readings I wanted to show you." He then indicated that she should follow him.
She nodded her head and the two made their way back to his lab. Elizabeth then sat down at the chair in front of his laptop. "So what have you found?"
Rodney leaned over her shoulder and began to point out the relevant data. As he indicated each piece of information on the screen, he would offer an explanation as to its significance. Elizabeth would occasionally nod her head to indicate she understood and ask a question to clarify parts she didn't. But the longer Rodney stood in such close proximity to her, the more he became distracted. He began to notice how nice she smelled. Her hair carried the salty scent of the ocean. "She must have been out on one of the balconies recently…" he theorized.
"Rodney?" Elizabeth asked.
He realized he must have stopped talking. "Oh, right… Where was I?"
"You were about to tell me what had you distracted from your work," she replied.
Rodney blushed and looked away. No way could he tell her that… He had to think of a good excuse. But his frantic thought process was interrupted when Elizabeth placed her hand on his chin and turned his head to face hers.
"I know you're attracted to me Rodney."
His only response was to blush even more. He couldn't believe this. Was Elizabeth really coming on to him?
He had his answer a moment later. She pulled him forward and kissed him. Deeply and passionately.
Elizabeth couldn't help but grin at his stunned expression a minute later. "Tell me you didn't enjoy that…"
He took a deep breath to try to calm himself down. "That was nice," was all he could think of to say.
"Happy Valentine's Day Rodney," she said before leaving to attend to some of her other responsibilities around the city.
