Mercy
by Mab
John stares, while Rodney paces, wrestling with an idea.
"It's occurred to me, that given the friendship and support, and the incredible sex," Rodney's brain goes to parenthetical mode, "obviously we work well together in a broad variety of situations," John's eyebrow rises, "yes, yes, but, clearly, we have a relationship, and while my previous efforts in that direction have been with women, there were certain expectations..."
John takes mercy, inspired either by intelligence or self-defence. "We can take that 'I love you' thing as read."
Inexpressibly relieved, Rodney gratefully lays a kiss upon John's ridiculous hair. "Yes, that. Exactly."
