Summary
"Don't patronize me," Rodney spat. "I know what I did up there. I freaked out. I froze. I could have cost us our lives." He rubbed his palm over his face, a quick, angry movement. His voice dropped, so that John had to strain to hear him. "That's twice."

Summary
"Is that so?" John said, deadpan. "Well..." He drawled, pretending to consider it. "How about you come inside, then? Have a nice cup of Athosian moonshine, maybe a candy bar, do a little dancing..."
"What?" Rodney snorted. "With you?"

Summary
Rodney was not an optimistic person by nature, but he couldn't do this. He couldn't sit there in John's quarters and imagine John never being there again, never being on Atlantis, anywhere, ever again. It was like his mind wouldn't even accept the possibility.

Summary
Rodney dropped to his knees as soon as he was inside the shelter again. God, he just wanted to curl up into a little ball in the corner and quietly freak out. He was a scientist, not an action hero. John should be the one shooting demon cats and worrying about how the hell they were ever going to get out of this. Not the other way around.

Summary
"Tell you what?" he hissed, keeping his voice quiet. "What do you want me to tell you, Rodney? That it meant anything?" Oh yeah, this was good. This would work. John didn't even have to go out of his way for the anger. He just had to let it loose a little, shape it to this new mask he had to wear. The best lies were always the ones with some kind of truth in them. The anger was true.
It was just all directed at himself.

Summary
This was wrong. This was stupid and he was going to regret this and John was going to leave again and it would be that much worse if they did this. But they were all doomed anyway and so they were going to, because John wanted it, and Rodney wanted John so badly and this was it, this was all they'd ever have.

Summary
“And I knew I couldn’t do anything to save you, I swore to myself that if you just…” Rodney gritted his teeth, but John was looking at him now and it was too late not to tell him. “If you just came back, I would give--I would do anything. Everything. Whatever you wanted. Even if, even if you could never reciprocate. It just, it didn’t matter. It doesn’t.”
