sga_saturdayTitle: Way Beyond Geometry
Author:![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

Pairing: John/Rodney
Rating: PG
Prompt: Geometric
word count: ~330
Summary: Rodney does geometry to help him sleep.
Notes: I have not studied math beyond the basic required classes.
He lies in the familiar strangeness of his sister's house, not thinking about the warmth of John's body beside him, but trying to calculate the distances between them. The geometry of their bodies is simple enough; he knows each visible plane and angle of John's as well as his own, and has already spent hours extrapolating those hidden beneath clothes.
It should be simple, then, to plot the space between them. Only, there are so many points, from four (heads, arms, hips, legs), to six, a hundred, a thousand, an inverse relationship to their size, and the smaller his imagination goes, down to the hairs on their skin and beyond, the more insurmountable the gaps between points J and R seem.
That's good. Because somewhere, these lines he's drawing between them intersect the vertical line dividing friend space and lover space, and the more distance he quantifies between them, the further John seems, the less likely Rodney is to cross it by accident.
“Go to sleep.” John moves, arm sliding up closer to Rodney's.
Rodney tries to account for this shift along the planes, but he is caught by the feel of the sheets moving, and his mental map scatters apart.
“Rodney?”
It's no good now, Rodney thinks, staring up at the trapezoids of streetlight across the ceiling. John sits up on one elbow, leaning over Rodney and blinking at him in the semi-dark.
“Parallel lines.” Rodney says and falls silent, feeling exposed.
He can barely make out John's face in the shadows, enough to see the blink, the twitch of his lips, but not interpret them.
Then John is touching him, two fingers sliding down ever-light along the line of his jaw. Intersecting, Rodney thinks desperately, two points on a line. But on an atomic level there's still space between them. Vibration of atoms equals heat, which explains the warmth radiating from John's touch.
They've gone way beyond geometry now.
“Yeah,” John breathes, and presses their lips together.

aw, Rodney. *squish* I love how he goes from body parts to the hair on their skin in calculating vectors, to finally, desperately, atomic distances.
he's pretty much doomed. :)))

Date: 2013-01-31 06:43 pm (UTC)Oh, Rodney! He never fails to thrill me with his utter woobieness, just like John never fails to connect their "parallel lines". 'sighs'
Loved it! :)
