Sunflowers

Major Evan Lorne seldom regretted all the crazy-assed things that happened to his team. All of Atlantis kept score, with a single white board in the mess dedicated to listing the latest screwed up event. Some of them were used to scare the pants off the new personnel, but some of them went up just for a laugh.

Evan figured that this was certainly one for the board. "Tell me again why the sunflowers are so large?"

David slid his hand into Evan's. "Apparently the Raldonians really did invent a shrinking ray. Carson swears it will wear off in four to five hours."

"Oh. Well, that's good." Evan shifted closer to David, so that their hips bumped. "So who donated the doll clothes?"

"Miko. She seems to have a large collection."

"I don't really want to know." Evan turned to look at David, at the way the sunlight through the greenhouse windows caught in his hair. Unable to resist, he brushed his hand down David's face, and kissed him.

That's both sweet and weirdly Atlantian (go Miko). Loved the white boardbut 'used the scare' should be 'used to scare'. I'm still trying to adjust to 'Evan' -- it's a shame they didn't do a poll or something. :)

Thanks for catching that! And yeah, Evan is weird to me, too. 'Nick' just sounds right to me as I have read and written it so much. Still trying to decide if I am going to retcon my stories and change the name. Hmph.

Thanks!

I tell myself Nick is his middle name and he prefers to go by it when he isn't just Lorne. :)
