Fic: Sentry Duty (Lorne Sheppard drabble)

[wickedwords]

Written or the oddball_sga community's Lorne/Sheppard drabble challenge.


Sentry Duty

Lorne hated rain. It clung to his eyelashes, dripped into his eyes, and made his uniform chafe. Wiping a hand across his face, he got the worst off, scanning the tree line for danger. A twig snapped behind him; twisting slightly, P90 in position, he spotted Colonel Sheppard walking toward him.

"Here." Black baseball cap on his own head, Sheppard plopped a limp booney hat on Lorne's head. "You looked like you needed this, and I had a spare."

Lorne tried to smile, but the rain wiped it away, which was okay. Sheppard was grinning enough for both of them.

Aw, that was so nice of John. And the image of rain clinging to Lorne's eyelashes? Yum!

Hee! I liked that too. Lorne is adorable, isn't he?

John is so thoughtful.

Also, dripping wet Lorne? Very pleasant mental image.

Only that rain is really, really cold. He's going to need to dry off and crawl in with someone to fend off hypothermia, I'm sure.

I think a little hypothermia could go along way here, don't you? What with two man tents, and warm sleeping bags that can zip together, and such. They just have to remember that tent walls really aren't soundproof.

Dude. *goes to happy mental place*

Um. You mind if I run with this?

Anything of mine that inspires, you are welcome to play with. And if it gets Lorne naked with someone? All the better!
