His Scientist - Part One

Mckay scowled as he sat on the infirmary bed and Carson poked and prodded him for his post mission physical. There was absolutely nothing wrong with him so he didn't see why Carson needed to draw 4 vials of blood, take a urine sample, put a flashlight in his eyes, and poke a prod the hell out of him.

"Are you done yet?"

Carson glared at Rodney and then poked him.

"You still need to get your shots."

"What am I a cat? Hurry up and get your voodoo over with."

"Rodney be nice to the doctor"

Rodney turned his head to the side and saw a grinning Sheppard leaning against the door frame. Rodney glared and turned away.

"I'm not talking to you."

Sheppard momentarily lost his cool.

"What? Why?"

Carson looked between the two and decided that this was a good time to get the hell out of there.

"Your done Rodney. You know the drill, anything abnormal and…"

"And I come see you straight away…yes, yes I know."

Carson rolled his eyes and left, giving Rodney permission to leave. Rodney scowled again as Carson left, got dressed, and then walked past Sheppard not saying a word. Sheppard followed Rodney with his eyes and then jogged after him.

"Wait…Rodney hold up…God Damn It Rodney! What did I do wrong?"

Rodney turned around and crossed his arms over his torso.

"Like you don't know Mister Arbitrary numbers!"

"Oh COME on, not that ag…"

"Yes that," he said sarcasm dripping from his lips, "What didn't you get about I DON'T KNOW."

Rodney turned back around and walked away again.

"Rodney…RODNEY!"

Rodney stopped again.

"What?"

"You seriously can't be angry about the fact that I wanted a time frame to work with to make up a plan, and anyway usually I have to anger you a little to get the…"

John's eyes widened when he realized what he just said and closed his mouth. Rodney was going to rip him a new on for this. Rodney crossed his arms over his chest and now was giving John his death glare.

"Anger me to get what?"

"Nothing"

"I don't think you were going to say nothing." Rodney said with an icy voice.

John winced as he heard the tone of Rodney's voice. The chances of him sleeping on the couch tonight were climbing, and as if Rodney knew what John was thinking his eyes narrowed.

"Oh you are defiantly sleeping on the couch"

John cringed.

"Rodney…come on…I mean other than that, the mission wasn't that bad."

"Bad," Rodney's fists clenched at his side, "BAD," John cringed, "You barely listed to me and then added to the fact that after they had gone through our minds, I told you I was tortured and all you did was ignore me. Even Ronan asked me what happened, but I was waiting for YOU to say something, but no, Colonel Sheppard doesn't ask how HIS scientist is, he just goes to make goo-goo eyes at Elizabeth."

John and Rodney stopped outside their quarters, and John's face now took a serious look.

"Now hold on a minute…"

Rodney held up his hand, sighed, and then shook his head as he opened the door.

"No. Enough is enough. Go away John and come back to me when you have thought about what you actually want."

Rodney walked into the room but before Sheppard could follow the door shut in his face. John attempted to open the door but it didn't respond. It seemed as if Atlantis was taking Rodney's side on this.

"Rodney"

John knocked on the door. Nothing happened.

"Rodney, come on, let me in"

Still silence reigned through the halls. John growled.

"Fine. Be that way."

John then stalked off to find Teyla or Ronon.
