Title: Where the Blood Goes
Spoilers: None
Rating: R
Notes: As much as I would like to be, I am apparently not one of those people who can put together a story in a few days. But I can drabble. 100 words, since I'm a traditionalist. Title from a song by The Frames. Quickie beta by untrue_accounts.



Blood was the first thing he saw when he reached McKay, blood running down his face, streaming past his disturbingly slack mouth.

Later, after stitches and recriminations, after he shoved McKay against a wall and made him swear to just fucking listen next time, he closed his eyes against the rusty stain on McKay's shirt and concentrated on the brush of fingers against his cock. There was nothing but feeling, throbbing so hard that it hurt, so hard that he thrust into McKay's hand and moaned, so hard that his world narrowed to the pulse of blood under his skin.

Oh, I liked this. Particularly this bit:
blood running down his face, streaming past his disturbingly slack mouth.
I was all, 'Oh no! Rodney!' *mwibble* *crosses fingers*
Very nice.

Thanks! And even in the very, very unlikely event that I'd seriously hurt Rodney, I'd never do it in a drabble. Not enough time to fix it. ;-)

>made him swear to just fucking listen next time<

Heh. Because *that's* gonna happen.

Thanks!

Heh. Because *that's* gonna happen.

*g* In the longer version of this, which never made it past three completely disconnected segments, this was early in the show, and Rodney had not yet learned that there were times he was just going to have to shut up and do what Sheppard said. It's probably better this way.
