A/N: Chapter 2. Yep. Hope you like it?
Chapter 2. Found you
Carson POV
Drowsily, I walked down the halls towards the mess hall. My body was still felt asleep, but my mind was in hyperactive mode, pushing me to go find my 'soul mate'. I didn't want to find that person yet though. I wasn't mentally ready. Part of me was praying no one from the team was in the mess hall yet. I walked inside, and went for the food. I don't know why I didn't bother to look.
I glanced around, finally seeing John and Ronon motioning for me to sit with them. I hesitated, suddenly nervous. None of us knew how we would act, only how we would feel. Cautiously, I walked over. So far, I didn't feel a single thing. Then I finally made it over. "Not feeling a thing right?" John asked. I shook my head.
"Good. Neither are we. We checked ourselves first. Haven't seen the other three yet. I supposed they're just as nervous as we are. I heard Chuck saying that Elizabeth immediately went to her office and logged what happened." He said. I nodded.
"Yeah, I did a scan on myself. Just to make sure. Kikiyo said she would inform me when result are in." I said. Ronon nodded.
"What are we going to do? I mean what happens if one of us 'imprint' on Rodney?" he said, shuddering a bit. "I don't know if can handle spending the rest of my life, connected to him." Ronon said, shuddering.
"You two would make a funn-" he stopped mid-sentence and blankly stared. Ronon and I turned. There standing across the mess hall, was Elizabeth, frozen and staring right back at John.
"Well, looks like we can scratch Elizabeth off our lists." I said. Ronon nodded.
"No kidding." He said. I glanced at John, who looked deathly white. "Must be the shock." He said. I nodded. It probably was. Elizabeth was their boss, meaning romance should have been out of the question. We watched as John stood up, leaving his place at the table, and made his way towards Elizabeth. They met up in the middle and just stood there. "You know, I kind of thought they would be paired together." He said. I nodded. I had thought they would end up together in some way eventually, just not this way. "Well buddy. It's just you and me. Wonder who will end up with whom." Ronon said. Yeah, it was something like a battle. "I don't know if I could handle actually being gay, I mean if I ended up with Rodney. I like females way too much for that." He said. I shrugged.
"I don't know. I don't think it would be too bad actually." I sighed.
"What wouldn't be too bad?" I heard behind me. My head turned slowly, and then I stopped dead in my tracks. My body felt insanely warm, almost as if had a fever. My eyes connected to his, and I felt like I couldn't breathe. Something clicked between us, and my brain felt as though it was having euphoria. We stared at each other, hearts beating fast. So this was what John had felt.
"Looks like I don't have to worry about being paired up with him. I'm going to leave you two to figure everything out." Ronon said, and then dashed away.
"So you're my soul mate…" I murmured. Rodney grabbed onto my shirt, and then pulled me away. He didn't say anything, just seemed to pull me away. We ended up in some part of the city that didn't seem heavily populated. "Rodney…?" I questioned. He leaned over and kissed me. I stood there, rooted in place, unsure how to react.
"I was hoping it was you. No, I was begging for it to be you. I met up with Tayla and Elizabeth, and felt nothing with them. Then I could only think of the three of you. I honestly didn't like the thought of being stuck with Ronon or John for that matter." He sighed. I smiled at him.
"I think I had been hoping too. I had already liked you, maybe even loved you. But I wasn't too sure exactly." I said slowly. He grinned.
"Really? Because I loved you." He said simply, and then leaned over to kiss me once again. The guide had been right, I was thankful for what they had done.
A/N: I'm not sure if this is finished. Honestly. I don't know where to go after this…. Should I continue?
