Thursdays are for thinking about First Times

Hello, everyone. I’m [livejournal.com profile] squidgiepdx and today's theme is First Times. Now here's the thing - the prompt "first time" can literally be anything. Like the first time John Sheppard went on an away mission without Rodney McKay, and missed his snoring. Or the first time someone - not Steve McGarrett - said, "Boom 'em, Danno," and Danny Williams realized that no - that's something Steve can say but nobody else. Or you can go with what I associate first times with, and that's intimacy. Like the first time William Poindexter kisses a man, or the first time Ransom and Holster hook up. If you can describe it as a first time, then be the first to prompt it here today!

Just a few rules:
No more than five prompts in a row.
No more than three prompts in the same fandom.
Use the character's full names and fandom's full name for ease adding to the Lonely Prompts spreadsheet.
No spoilers in prompts for a month after airing, or use the spoiler cut option found here.
If your fill contains spoilers, warn and leave plenty of space, or use the above mentioned spoiler cut.

Prompts should be formatted as follows: [Use the character's full names and fandom's full name]
Fandom, Character +/ Character, Prompt

Some examples to get the ball rolling...
+ Stargate Atlantis, John Sheppard/Rodney McKay, When John & others get back from an away mission, he won't say that he hated that Rodney wasn't there, but he won't let go of Rodney that night, either.
+ Hawaii Five-0, Steve McGarrett/Danny Williams, "No, McGarrett gets to say that, not you."
+ Check, Please!, Any/Any, The first time the two characters kiss in front of others

We are now using AO3 to bookmark filled prompts. If you fill a prompt and post it to AO3 please add it to the Bite Sized Bits of Fic from 2021 collection. See further notes on this new option here.

While the Lonely Prompts Spreadsheet and LJ's advanced search options are available, bookmarking the links of prompts you like might work better for searching for in the future.

Fill 1/2: Bonus Teyla, Ronon & Sam (Warning for mention of attempted non-con)

John stalked through the Gate, skin feeling like it was stretched too tight over his bones. He needed to get out of his tac vest, out of his uniform, and into the shower. As soon as fucking possible.

“Colonel,” Sam said. “We need to –”

Teyla neatly cut in and started talking to her, subtly moving her in the opposite direction. John made a beeline for the transporter; whatever expression was on his face backing people off without him having to say anything. Ronon glared at anyone who was feeling brave enough to approach.

“Thanks,” John managed to get out through clenched teeth.

The door slid shut before almost immediately sliding back open again, depositing John not far from his doorstep. Once he was inside his quarters, he felt he could get a little of his breath back.

“What the hell happened?” Rodney asked. “You look like shit.”

“Later.”

John started shedding his clothes, making his way unerringly to the bathroom. The shower kicked on before he was even through the door, and he mentally adjusted it hotter than he normally liked. He stepped under the water, hissing a bit until he got used to the sting of it, and braced himself against the wall so the spray hit him right between the shoulder blades.

“Ronon said things went sideways,” Rodney said hesitantly, standing just outside the shower.

“How’s your hand?” John countered.

“My fingers are still broken, if that’s what you’re asking. They didn’t magically repair themselves while you were gone.”

The water, and Rodney’s familiar snarky tone, helped John let go of some of the tension in his shoulders. His jaw was sore from all the clenching.

There’d been an accident during some ‘jumper maintenance, and Rodney had broken two of the fingers on his dominant hand. Everyone had agreed he should hang back in Atlantis, that John, Teyla, and Ronon could handle what was supposed to be a milk run without him. If the mission had been first contact, they’d have stood down until Rodney was able to go with them.

Just a milk run. Was that even really a thing in Pegasus?

“Do you want me to come in? The hand’s been waterproofed, you know.”

Did John want Rodney to join him in the shower? Just five minutes ago he’d have said no.

“Yeah.”

Rodney didn’t waste any time shucking his clothes. He yelped when he got in, and John mentally turned the hot water down. Rodney burned easily.

“Are you trying to parboil yourself? It’s not a good look, you know.”

In the next moment Rodney was soaping John up, washing his back and shoulders with brisk, capable hands. No coddling. No caresses. For all that people complained how socially unaware he could be – and he really, really could – with John, Rodney always knew what to do.

John let out a deep breath and widened his stance as Rodney soaped up his thighs, his calves, his ass. There was nothing sensual about it, because that’s not what John needed. He needed to feel clean.

“The Elder’s granddaughter slipped me a mickey at dinner,” John said, voice hushed as if he were in a confessional. Maybe he was.

Rodney’s hands only stilled for a fraction of a second. “Breeding purposed, I presume. Do they think you’re a stud horse or something? How far did she get?”

“Ronon broke the door down before anything happened.”

She’d gotten them both naked, though. John remembered the feel of her hands on his chest, his face. The press of her breasts. He’d been too out of it to defend himself, but he remembered.

He let Rodney turn him. Rodney pressed one soapy hand to the side of John’s face, then got to the business of scrubbing the front of John as efficiently as he’d done the back.

“Clearly this is the first and last time you go offworld without me, Sheppard,” Rodney said. “Someone has to keep the horny princesses at bay, and I’m obviously the one best-suited to it. I wonder if I can put that on my CV?”

John huffed out a laugh. “Maybe you should.”

Truth was, if Rodney had been there, that girl never would’ve gotten close enough. He watched John like a hawk when they were offworld, the same way John checked to make sure Rodney’s food wouldn’t kill him.

John never wanted to be in such a vulnerable position again.

He wrapped his arms around Rodney and pulled him close, resting his forehead against Rodney’s in an approximation of the Athosian greeting.

“Thanks.”

“Don’t be stupid,” Rodney replied. He pressed a chaste kiss to John’s lips. “Are you hungry? I can get some food sent up from the Mess.”

John shook his head.

“Okay. Rinse off and I’ll tuck you in.”

Rodney rinsed first and stepped out of the shower. By the time John did the same, and got himself mostly dried off, Rodney had turned down the sheets on John’s bigger, adult-sized bed and was already in it himself.

The room lights dimmed at John crawled in, tucking himself up against Rodney. Later he’d have to write up his after-action report and have a mandatory session with Dr. Ramesh. For now, he wanted the heat from Rodney’s skin and the solidity of Rodney’s body.

“Sleep,” Rodney said. “I’ll keep watch.”

“I know.”

John closed his eyes and everything that had happened melted away. With Rodney holding him close, John drifted off to sleep.

I'm so glad you like it! I honestly didn't mean for it to turn so angsty. Honestly!

Poor John for reals, but given the lengths people went through to get their hands on Gene carriers in the series this is totally plausible. So intense but also so perfect and comforting at the end. Well done!

Thank you so much! I hated doing that to poor don't-touch-me John. I really didn't mean to.

Very nice! Yes, Rodney always knows exactly the right thing to do (even if it's only with John).
