I just couldn't believe that's all John said to Rodney at the end of Seige II before he went off to blow himself (and the wraith hive ship) to bits.
Not written as slash, but read into it whatever you want.
SO LONG, RODNEY
"So Long, Rodney." That it? That's all I get?
It's not like I expected a hug and a kiss and a tearful goodbye, but how about a handshake and a "It's been nice knowing you" or even a "You've been a pain in the ass but I'll miss you"?
Selfish bastard. It's just like you…thinking only of yourself…running off to fall on your sword, leaving the rest of us behind to do the real work.
I don't suppose it ever occurred to you to give me the opportunity to say goodbye?
…and to tell you how much I detested your damn gung-ho attitude, that rotten charming façade, and your annoying penchant for self-sacrifice.
On second thought, maybe it's better I didn't get a chance to say anything after all.
Look at you - one single blip amid a bunch of other blips.
In a minute, your blip will disappear and you'll be gone in a blaze of glory: a hero's death. The military will be thrilled - probably award you all kinds of posthumous metals. Women will weep when they hear of your sacrifice. We'll erect a statue in your honor...
Yeah, you'd get a kick out of that, wouldn't you? Too bad you won't be around to enjoy any of it.
I might even miss you…if I didn't hate you so much.
I hate that you taught me what it is to have a friend…and to lose a friend. I hate how you could bring out the worst in me…and the best. But most of all, I hate you because I failed you.
No, wait…I'm pretty sure I hate me for that one.
So long, John.
