Season Three.
Episode: Tao of Rodney
Characters: Ronon.
Could be a little Ronon/Rodney if you want.
He was back to the mirror, since he went back to his room, twisting his neck to see his back.
The skin was completely smooth, like it was so many years ago. He couldn't stop touching it, thinking he'll feel the old scars, that they were only invisible. He still had difficulty to accept it. And he kept reliving the scene. First amused to the usual worry of Rodney of if he'll hit him one day. He'll never do it, outside training, but he loves poking Rodney. Then curious at the strange question. They never had this kind of serious discussion, not them. A little embarrassed, for him, when the other man hugged him. He only thought he was scared, wanted reassurance. Strangely, and maybe it was unwise, he also thought it was a goodbye that he didn't have to take seriously.
He's McKay. It's how he works, he always think it's over, and always find a solution, so, he'll find one for this problem too, right?
But seeing the gift of Rodney, and after hearing about the tea with Teyla, he can't ignore it anymore. He gave up. He is going to die.
Ronon heard his name through the radio.

He pushed the gurney as fast as he could,
almost pushed the nurse when they arrived near the room to be at his
side. He threw Rodney's arm around his neck, lifted him easily in his
arms, barely heard Beckett's order when he rushed to the platform and
laid him carefully.
Waited anxiously like the others when the
light appeared. Breathed when he woke up. At his first move, Sheppard
and he were on their knees near him, to be sure he was okay. Ronon
kept a hand on him, and near him when Rodney got back on his feet,
ready to catch him if needed.
But he's more than well, exchanging
scientific explanations with Beckett and Zelenka. Ronon didn't
understand the half of it, someday he'll have to try to learn some of
it, but right now, he has something to do.
He ignored the wary
surprise on Rodney's face when he grabbed his shoulders, and pulled
him against him, crushing him in a bear hug. Laughed to the
self-conscious way he looked to the others when he let him go.
He made a mental note to give him more of them.
Thanks for reading.
Please, review.
