Disclaimers: I do not own these characters; this is written for fun or something, I make no money etc.
A/N: OK, time for some fun to cheer us all up! This comes under the "Absurd but Shippy" category, as defined by dahan. From a plot bunny put up for adoption in January! at McKay/Weir Central. Thanks Keenir. I realised it also has leanings towards some of the challenges over there, namely those by toasteronfire and weirfan. This is probably not what was expected by anyone though :D
Summary: McKay spends a lot of time with Miko, and Elizabeth is jealous. Absurdly shippy McKay/Weir.
Chapter One
"Thanks, Elizabeth. I'll see what I can do. I have to go, because Miko's waiting, so, when I come up with something, I'll let you know, OK?"
Rodney McKay was closing his laptop, and getting up from the conference table. He didn't look at Elizabeth Weir, he just fussed around, preparing to leave. Finally, he was done, and left the room.
Elizabeth was left sitting alone.
'Miko's waiting' - hmmph. What's she waiting for him to do that's so damn important? I know variable heat control in my quarters isn't exactly top priority, but there's no pending crisis. I'd have thought he could just get straight on it. I should've asked Radek… He would've done it straight away... Damn! Rodney is so unreadable.

Elizabeth walked into the lab, and stood at one side, watching Rodney disassemble some piece of Ancient technology. His arms worked effortlessly, and she focussed on his biceps, and then his hands.
When he looked up, she asked, "Rodney? Want to come and get some coffee with me?"
He raised one hand defensively. "No, thanks, Elizabeth. I've just had some. Miko fixed it for me." He gave her a huge grin.
Oh that man is so infuriating. Is he smiling at me? Or because Miko fixed him coffee? And since when did Rodney turn down a trip to the Mess? Oh, no. Come on, Lizzie, you're being paranoid. Pull yourself together.

"Do you feel you have any training needs, Miko?" Elizabeth smiled graciously.
"Oh, no, Dr Weir. If I had, I would have put them on my performance review notes." Miko smiled, "Dr McKay provides me with all the training I need." she added.
Elizabeth gritted her teeth beneath her smile. "I'm sure he does." She pushed back her chair and stood up. "Thank you for coming, Miko. Let me know if there's ever anything you need from me."
Like a cold shower. The way she fawns over him is unbelievable. Surely he doesn't find that attractive? There's no way. Surely. And what does she mean, he provides her with all the training she needs, huh? OK, OK, I know, that's paranoia again. Really, maybe I need help…

"So, coming to movie night, Elizabeth?"
Elizabeth started, "Sorry? Oh, right, movie night. Um… I'm not sure, John."
"Elizabeth? You OK…? You should come."
"Um… I'm fine. No, I don't think I will. Maybe I need an early night…"
"Yeah. That might be a good idea. Well, see you in the morning, yeah?"
"Yes, of course. Goodnight."
I must have sounded like a right fool. Away with the fairies. It's just… Rodney's not going to movie night. No. He's working late. In the lab. With her. Did he have to say it was with her? It's not paranoia. He is up to something. With Miko. And I'm jealous as hell. Infuriating. Completely and utterly infuriating. I just… Maybe there isn't anything going on. Maybe I should talk to him. Tell him that I find him attra…
Oh…
Look.
Ventilation shaft.
Oh…
Connects through to Lab 1…
Hmmm…
A/N: Uh, oh... what's she gonna do? Jealousy makes one do bizarre things... You can guess, can't you! Anyway, a few more short chapters and it'll all be over... Thanks for reading, especially if you've been patiently waiting for some McKay/Weir from me - hope you enjoy!
