Of all the people to bring it up, Sheppard is the last one he expects to.

“So… you and Novak?”

They are sitting on either side of Sheppard’s desk, working through his staff evaluations. To be more honest, Lorne is doing them and Sheppard is reading and then signing them off. Lorne looks up for a moment, eyebrows raised and then realises what he has just been asked.

“We’re okay,” Lorne evades, hating the way his voice sounds a little strangled and he goes back to writing up a Captain Harris and feeling sorry for the guy because he’s just been completely derailed. He’s pretty much going to have to write satisfactory because his mind is a blank on who the guy actually is.

“That’s not really what I… heard.” Sheppard sounds just about as strangled and when Lorne looks up, he realises his commanding officer is blushing furiously.

“What you heard?” Lorne prods and the blush just deepens. Lorne decides to cut Sheppard some slack and maybe curry some good favour in the process. “Who’s been badgering you to ask?”

“Everyone!” Sheppard barks out, loud and sudden and Lorne flinches. His hand arcs across his datapad, deleting Captain Harris’ evaluation. “God, everyone,” Sheppard repeats, dropping his head into his hands after he’s pushed aside his own datapad.

Lorne is a little at a loss what to do so reaches out a tentative hand and pats Sheppard on the shoulder. “Are you going to be okay, Sir?” he ventures.

“Not if you two don’t get back together and be all bunnies and puppies again,” Sheppard moans and now has dropped his head onto the desk.

“Bunnies and… puppies?” Lorne asks, bewildered.

“Apparently you and Novak were like this romantic comedy that everyone was addicted to and now it’s been put on permanent hiatus with no warning. Everyone’s going a little nuts.”

Lorne stands up, does a small circuit of Sheppard’s office and returns to his chair. He rests a hand on the back of it but doesn’t sit. “Permission to… go, Sir?” he pleads and Sheppard puts a hand up and waves him out.

Lorne leaves and heads straight for Doctor Heighmeyer’s office because he’s either just had a very small breakdown or everyone else is crazy.

He’s really hoping it’s just him.

Poor Sheppard, forced to talk about someone else's feelings :o)

OH! So cute, but I need *MORE*!
Love Sheppards reactions, that's just classic :)
Please write a sequel??

Daw....these two boys. And with the feelings. Like talking about anything might actually kill them. I am so happy to see more of this! You are my hero!

*giggles* That's just perfect. But! You haven't fixed them, like you promised you would, yet! ;)

The last bit:

Lorne leaves and heads straight for Doctor Heighmeyer’s office because he’s either just had a very small breakdown or everyone else is crazy.

He’s really hoping it’s just him.


Was just priceless! *g*

I've just read through all of these, and man, this is my new favourite pairing (and I don't have favourite pairings!)

So so so so cute!

[identity profile] blueline-baby.livejournal.com 2007-04-23 02:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, God. More. Please, more.

Also? Torturing Sheppard should be a national passtime for Atlantis residents.

This totally made me smile. Poor Lorne.

"“Apparently you and Novak were like this romantic comedy that everyone was addicted to and now it’s been put on permanent hiatus with no warning. Everyone’s going a little nuts.”"

Yep that describes all your fans! (Made me laugh, thanks.)

BUNNIES AND PUPPIES!!!

AND LITTLE SOFT KITTIES

Hehehee... ;D

Part of a series... I'm getting there I promise!! :D

[identity profile] kellifer-fic.livejournal.com 2007-04-24 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
Hee... just a very ... delayed hero apparently. I had not realised I'd left them hanging for six months... yikes!

[identity profile] kellifer-fic.livejournal.com 2007-04-24 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
I'm going to... I swear! I just... time got away from me and then boom! It's been six months. Yikes!!

[identity profile] kellifer-fic.livejournal.com 2007-04-24 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
Thankyou!

[identity profile] kellifer-fic.livejournal.com 2007-04-24 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
Hehehee... yay! :D I saw a story about them by someone else... (oh my god, I can't remember who... that's terrible!) and was like... that's so wacky but so... CUTE!!!!

[identity profile] bruinsfan.livejournal.com 2007-04-24 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
Better hope Lorne's not like me, because when other people show an inappropriate vicarious interest in my love life and push me toward someone? Kiss. Of. Death.

[identity profile] kellifer-fic.livejournal.com 2007-04-24 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
Oh absolutely! You have to do *something* with your downtime... :D

Thanks hon!!

Argh... I know!! I had no idea six months had gone by... eep!

[identity profile] kellifer-fic.livejournal.com 2007-04-24 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
Whee!

This whole thing has me laughing. “Bunnies and… puppies?” lol! I am SO looking forward to more.

I've just tonight had a piece of time to read this whole series. What a delightful pairing, and I wouldn't have thought it would work. But it does!

Hmmm, I suppose I can let you off with that then. ;)

I can't believe it's been 6 months tho!

That's just scary. Time isn't supposed to just get up and walk away like that...

[identity profile] thepouncer.livejournal.com 2007-04-27 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
Hee! The thought of Sheppard having to ask Lorne something *personal* (oh god! the horror!) is hilarious.

And Lorne and Novak better get back together - the city's morale depends on them!

Haha, “Apparently you and Novak were like this romantic comedy that everyone was addicted to and now it’s been put on permanent hiatus with no warning. Everyone’s going a little nuts.”

Everyone is meant to be us, no? ;)

And of course, Lorne and Novak provided entertainment for the whole Atlantis expedition. They are so cuuuute! Poor Sheppard...I can see ppl bugging him for info on L/N, esp Rodney *g* And poor, poor Lorne *squishes him* can't wait for more! There's never enough L/N, imho oh and hey you converted me to this pairing! *g*

Hehee... when you're in an alien outpost in the middle of another galaxy you take your entertainment where you can... *grins*

Bah! I've just read all of these and now I'm all *flail* wondering what's going to happen and hopefully you're still planning to write more of these two?

“Permission to… go, Sir?” he pleads

*dies laughing* This amuses me so much, because John fails at talking about his own feelings, never mind other people's! ROFL!

[identity profile] gottalovev.livejournal.com 2009-11-26 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
I just read the whole series and loved it so very much. this one had me LOL at poor John, though. his dismay is hilarious. and gah. in my head you made Lorne and Novak better and everything *nods*
