A/N: Oh, please. Like none of you saw the challenge and thought of this movie.
With no immediate crises in sight, Dr Weir had given everyone some much needed down time. John and Rodney were using theirs for some private movie viewing. Not that the films couldn't have been enjoyed by a larger group, but because John fully expected they would have certain -- private -- ways to enjoy themselves, he had picked something one could easily stop in the middle.
They were watching History of the World Part I, and Rodney had chosen Top Secret, so John suspected he had the same mind-set.They were only paying partial attention to the screen; their conversation had wandered to other '80s movies.
"Do you have any more of this delicious popcorn?" Rodney asked, looking from his empty bowl to the almost full one between John's knees. He took a handful, brushing John's not-butter slick fingers as he did.
John laughed. He lightly smacked Rodney's hand in the almost-popcorn bow, then picked it up and licked Rodney's fingers. "This is my popcorn. You ate all yours." He did his best Harvey Korman impression.
Rodney laughed, and had to kiss him. And people thought he was the dork.
"This was my favorite comedy when I was a kid," John told him.
"Really? I liked Real Genius.".
"Of course you did."
"What does that mean?" Rodney wasn't sure he appreciated John's tone.
"You know, the whole genius thing. I figure you could identify with them."
"Well, true. Though the movie was somewhat unrealistic."
"The science was off?"
"Of course. But I was talking about the casting. I never had anyone as hot as Val Kilmer in my classes."
"And I didn't have anyone as hot as Val Kilmer in my flight training."
"I should have known you'd reference Top Gun." Rodney didn't tell him that Kilmer had nothing on John. "I bet that movie was the first time you knew."
"Knew what? That I wanted to be a pilot?"
"Well, yes, but I meant that you liked guys, too."
"The volleyball scene was hot, but no. Val Kilmer wasn't my first.
"Your first what?"
"The first celebrity guy I had a crush on."
"Tom Cruise, then. Stands to reason you'd pick the big brave hero, most like yourself."
"You think I'm like Tom Cruise?"
"Not the couch jumping psycho religious freak."
"Thanks for clarifying that for me, Rodney. Big brave hero, huh?"
"You know you are. You don't need me to stroke your ego."
"Not my ego."
"Funny. So who was your first guy crush?"
"You'll laugh."
"I promise I won't."
"Fine. Michael Pare." John said this very quickly.
"Oh God, I should have known. Eddie and the Cruisers, right?"
"It was a good movie!" John protested.
"No it wasn't!"
"Okay, it was a good song."
"That Michael Pare didn't even sing. All he did was stand there and look pretty.It was John Cafferty. And God knows it's a lucky thing I'm a genius, because that little bit of information is completely useless."
"Oh shut up, Rodney. I was fourteen, and it was on cable all the damn time."
"I bet you played air guitar to 'On the Dark Side'." Rodney pictured a gangly teenaged John, still with the wild hair, but not quite as confident as he appeared as an adult. He mimed it for John now, which was a lot harder than it looked
"Yeah, so?" John defended himself. "Like you weren't rocking out to 'Tom Sawyer'?".
"Of course I was. That's every Canadian boy's sworn duty."
"I won't make fun of you for that if you don't mock me."
"Deal. I bet you made a cute Eddie."
"And I bet you made a great Geddy Lee."
"Look. We've missed most of the movie. We're already at 'Jews in Space'." Rodney hadn't noticed until just now.
"Do you want to rewind?"
"Nah, I'm not in the movie mood anymore." Rodney turned the DVD off.
"So what kind of mood are you in?" John waggled an eyebrow.
"I thought we might play 'Johnny and the Puddlejumpers.'
"Only if you're my groupie", John said, and leaned over to kiss him.
