Summary: Angsty Rodney POV piece because I'm annoyed at TPTB this season.
Okay, sure, I know he has that unkempt, playboy look that most women swoon over, but why? Why would she find that so attractive over my copious degrees? Right, right, I know he could've been in Mensa, too—and trust me, that bothers me to no end—but he makes a point of not calling attention to his intelligence. That must be it, the careless hair and the careless attitude, mixed with the care for us, his friends. Yeah, that has to be what drives Teyla and her crazy.
Y'know, it really bothers me how he can get anything—and anyone—he wants, and I can't. All he has to do is flash that winning smile, and he's got it all. But what really bugs me the most is that he's my best friends. He's probably the closest thing I'll ever have to a brother and he always stands by me, defending me to her, especially during the Arcturus project, but I'm fighting with him for her. Hopefully, someday—preferably sooner rather than later—he'll wake up and see that Teyla's a sweet girl who's just perfect for him. And she'll wake up to see how I'm just perfect for her.
A bit angsty, but it just came to me as I was watching 38 Minutes again. What was John going to say to Liz, anyhoo?
