Five moments between Val and Danny.
Five times Mac didn't know about an inter-lab romance.
1. Stella and Adam. It was a drunken fling after the lab Christmas party, but Adam's a gentlemen and asked Stella out to dinner, and he's a total sweetheart -- and he finds it pretty hot that she's licensed to wear a gun.
2. Lindsay and Angell. It may be New York, but they are technically co-workers and they're cops, and it's just -- Lindsay is pretty certain Mac wouldn't approve, even though she knows about Peyton, and Angell doesn't want to risk her job security. So they keep it on the downlow.
3. Hawkes and Aiden. They started going out before Hawkes transferred to CSU, and when Aiden got fired -- well, they didn't have to keep it a secret then, but Hawkes didn't feel like having Mac mad at him so early in the game.
4. Mac and Peyton. What, you think Mac knows these things until they hit him in the face?
5. Danny and Flack. Seriously, they're not stupid either.
The five times McKay has found himself humbled.
1. The first time a girl took her shirt off for him. With, you know, purpose. Oh, come on, he was fifteen and in college and she was twenty and in his astronomy class. Granted, she was doing it because she wanted to cheat off his homework, but still, Rodney got laid.
2. The first time he saw a wormhole open in front of him. Science is his One True Love.
3. No, scratch that. Atlantis and her people, laid out in front of him, alive and successful and there and it shocks him, shocks him into stunned silence, because they did it. They raised a city from the ocean and found something new and amazing and theirs.
4. The first time Sheppard takes a bullet for him. He hadn't -- he hadn't actually thought Sheppard would do it till he did, and by then it was too late, and Rodney had blood all over his hands, and Teyla and Ford were shooting over his head and Sheppard was still wisecracking, that ass.
5. The fifth time Sheppard kisses him. In front of other people. With purpose. It's the first time one of them doesn't think they're about to die and the sheer trust there -- it's a casual brush of the lips and it's just Teyla and Ronon, but still... Sheppard. Kisses him. And fucking means it.

Date: 2007-05-02 03:28 am (UTC)...can we see that on-screen? Please?
(Actually, I want to see someone put a knife to his throat, because I'm twisted like that and when Danny had a gun to his head in...that one episode with the panic room I went all squirrely inside.)
