Three years after leaving the Marines Eugene Bates meets Aiden Ford on a busy street in Washington, D.C.

He looks different from the man Eugene knew for the better part of two years. His hair is abit longer and bushier than he remembers. The scruff on his chin makes him look older than Eugene knows he is. The skin around one of his eyes seems a few shades lighter than the rest of his face.

Aiden is sitting on the courthouse steps in blue jeans and a polo shirt when he sees Eugene approaching. When he stands his nervousness is evident in the discomforting way he drops the cigarette from his hand and stubs it out on the sidewalk.

It takes an awkward moment before Eugene can reconcile the old image of Ford with the one he sees now. Neither one is better than the other, but the vast contradiction of the two is unsettling.

It's not until Aiden gives him a welcoming smile that Eugene can see he hasn't changed completely.

Polite conversation is all they are able to have for the first few minutes. Aiden asks about his life now, making a diligent effort to keep any and all questions squarely on what Eugene has been through since leaving the service.

When Aiden invites Eugene for a beer it doesn't take more than a second for him to accept. Eugene is feeling tired and frustrated, but he's also lonely and in need of something to not make this night like every other one he's lived.

The bar is two blocks away from Eugene's apartment and it's really unremarkable. Nothing much but stools and polished wood. It's quiet though and that is good enough for Eugene and if he looks hard enough, good enough for Aiden too.

After three beers both men know where this night is going to end up. When Aiden's hand travels from his arm, to his knee before resting at his thigh. Eugene tries his best to hide the desperate need that's welling up in his stomach.

Eugene's apartment is big, but sparse. He's never been a man to clutter his world with unnecessary things. He's stripping off his jacket, as his lips stay connected to Aiden’s. He has an irrational fear that if he doesn't stay in constant contact with Aiden's skin either he, or Aiden will realize this is a mistake.

When Aiden's legs hit the edge of the bed Eugene pushes him down and with a satisfied smile rips off Aiden's shirt. The image takes his breath away; Aiden's body is like everything he imagined. Lean, sculptured, and perfectly brown.

When Eugene lays himself on top of Aiden and feels the man wrap his legs around his waist a strangled moan escapes. It's been too long for Eugene and feeling this pressure and Aiden mouth against his neck is almost too much to take in at one time.

Aiden breaks away from Eugene and strips away the remainder of his clothes and Eugene follows suit. When Eugene sits on the edge of the bed and sees Aiden fall to his knees an inch away from him he bites his lip. Aiden smiles up at him a second before he swallows Eugene's erection all the way down.

Eugene's scream surprises even him. It's loud and rumbling and it only causes Aiden to suck harder, suck faster. His hands are on either side of Aiden's head in an unwarranted sense of guidance, but Eugene needs something to hold onto.

"Ford, please" is the only thing that Eugene is able to say. He doesn't even know what he's begging for, to make this go faster or slow down and make it last as long as possible.

The sudden cold wet air on his skin is enough to alert Eugene that something is wrong. Looking down at Aiden he sees nothing but a sharp hard glare.

"Don't call me that, just Aiden"

"Sorry"

Eugene knows something a lot more serious is under that tone but when Aiden stand up and straddles his waist he can't bring himself to care. A minute passes and Eugene is splayed on the bed and Aiden his rocking back and forth on top of him. Eugene feels the hardness against his own and grabbing Aiden's hips he makes the movements more urgent.

Reaching over to his nightstand Eugene pulls out one of the condoms that he prays still works and a small bottle of lotion. Quickly snatching them from Eugene's hand Aiden rips open the condom package with his teeth and that had been hands down the sexiest thing Eugene Bates had ever seen in his many years.

When Aiden leans over and places the condom on Eugene's cock he gives a quick lick before placing the bottle of lotion back in Eugene's hands. He prepares Aiden as slowly as his libido will allow but when Aiden feels he is ready he places Eugene back on the bed and with a quickness he's not sure is real slides down on Eugene's cock effortlessly.

Then Eugene's mind is filled with nothing but heat and fire as Aiden rides him with a vigor and strength Eugene always knew he had. Aiden's moans are the background music for this wonderful experience that he will never forget.

He feels his balls tighten up right before Aiden shoots all over his chest and the resulting orgasm is unlike anything Eugene has felt, or probably will feel again.

When the two are wrapped around each other Eugene wants to know if Aiden wants to stay with him. Just for a while, until the man finds something more stable to hold onto. Eugene knows this is a bad idea but he's learned to live with too many regrets to second-guess himself.

When Aiden agrees the expression on Eugene’s face is clear. This could be a good thing if both of them really try.

Still, when Eugene wakes up 7 hours later to a constant pounding on the door he's not at all surprised Aiden is gone with nothing but a note in his place.

"Thank You"

When Eugene opens the door he doesn't let his face show the surprise of seeing John Sheppard and Teyla Emmagen standing there. If three years have changed Aiden Ford completely it has done so at the sake of both John and Teyla. Neither has changed since the last time Eugene has laid eyes on them.

Both look uncomfortable as they stand outside his door and their pathetic smiles is almost amusing. They seem generally concerned when they mention that Aiden Ford has been spotted in the area and ask if maybe Eugene has seen him.

He sees the hopeful look in both their eyes and hates himself for the anger that still resides in his own heart. When Eugene inquires about reasoning he sees Sheppard is too tired or just doesn't care enough anymore to keep whatever charade he has up.

John tells him that Ford had been sick and was brought back home after he recovered. The man still had a lot to account for though, but he managed to escape and was now officially classified as A.W.O.L. The traces of heat that still resided in Eugene's stomach were now a cold dread.

John knows the only person in this city that Ford remotely knows is Eugene and a small lead was better than none at all.

When Teyla steps up to Eugene and places a hand on his shoulder she knows he'll answer honestly.

"Have you seen Aiden?"

"I'm sorry, I haven't"

It would be almost an hour before Eugene makes any kind of movement to start his day. He's heading out the door when he sees Aiden's note still on his pillow. Picking it up he places it in his briefcase and heads out into the world.

Feeling better than he has in a long time

Ouch. Poor damaged Aiden, still running. I wanted a happy ending for him, but this feels *real*. At least he's got a very pleasant safe harbor, now.

Nice job.

Thank you for the response and really glad you enjoyed it.


I really want Ford to have a happy ending too, but I don't feel it's going to work out that way. I settled for the next best thing:)

This was a unique perspective on Aiden's future. I've toyed with several variations on his return to Atlantis, but this vision of his return to Earth was totally unexpected.

First off thanks for the comment it is much appreciated.


Personally I can't see Aiden ever going back to Earth,or Atlantis for that matter and being "normal" again. I imagine he's been running so much now that stopping isn't really an option for him anymore. He will have alot to answer for when,and if he comes back.

Still, I don't think he could help getting lonely and needing some kind of human contact. If even for a night.

Thank you again.

I felt so sad for all four.. Bates and Ford, Sheppard and Teyla. They all seemed so lost.

Thank you so much for the feedback it is much appreciated. I figure Ford is changed forever and it's going to affect everybody. One way or another.
