He Doesn't Care
He's beautiful, and he doesn't even care. He could have anyone, and he doesn't care. Any girl, any guy... he doesn't care. He just wants me. And I care. I hate it. I am physically attracted to him, but I don't have feelings for him. He doesn't care, but I do. I just can't sleep with somebody I can't love.
***
I love his spiky hair.
I love his sexy walk.
I love his sweet smile.
I love his soulful laugh.
I love his sequined eyes.
I love his sinful ways.
But I don't love him.
I wish.

John - Hold on a little longer, Carson's coming.
Aiden - ____
John - Come on...Aiden? Talk to me, please.
Aiden - Dad? I'm sorry.
John - Aiden...son...it's okay. Nothing to be sorry about.
Aiden - Daddy?! I am so sorry. I couldn't save her. I tried. I tried so hard, but it was too late. Please. Please forgive me.
John - Aiden! Come on.
Aiden - So sorry. So so sorry. all my fault, so sorry.
John - Shh, Sssh, son, it's okay. I forgive you. I forgive you.
Aiden - Thank you.
John - Aiden? Aiden. Aiden!!!
***
Aiden - Where you headed sir?
John - No where particular, where you headed?
Aiden - Mess.
John - Food's good.
Aiden - If you say so, sir.
John - Ur, no, that's Rodney.
Aiden - Right. That guy could eat anything.
John - Yep. Shouldn't the doors have opened by now?
Aiden - Yes sir, they don't seem to be working.
John - I can see that. Hold on. Grodin? Weir? Hey, anybody, hello?
Aiden - Maybe they can't respond.
John - Maybe. Ford and I are stuck in one of the transports near the mess. Can someone let us out?
Aiden - So, sir?
John - What?!
Aiden - What's your favorite color?
John - Somebody!!!

What's that? No, it can't be. What? What could have, how? No, he's not serious. Well, okay, I guess he is. Sure, why not. Wait, you want me to put my hand where? Sure, why not. It's a bit of a reach. Your turn. Ha. That tickled. Lets see. Can I put my foot there? Oops, I'm slipping. Ouch. I think I twisted something. There, that's better. Oh yeah. I dare you. No not there, no, to the left. Not your left, my left. Okay. I'm just going to reach around here, gotcha. Hey! No fair. Get your butt off of me. That your hand on my thigh? You can't use my thigh for balance. Wait, no. You're going to fall! On me. Ow. This floor is hard. Hold on. What's that touching... oh. Ohhhh! This is certainly the most interesting game of Twister I've ever played.
***
Aiden - John! John! Are you okay? You hit your head.
John - Sure.
Aiden - I should get you to the doc.
John - Oh no you don't. We're not done here.
Aiden - John, we can do this anytime. You could have a concussion. I can't let you lie down, you'll fall asleep. And then I won't be able to wake you--
John - Ford.
Aiden - Sir.
John - Aiden... I don't plan on sleeping.
Aiden - Oh. Ohh! Hey no. Sir. Stop...groan, as much as I would LOVE to, you have to see Carson.
John - Why... Come on. I KNOW you want to.
Aiden - Because, John you know we'll just have really good sex and then you'll want to sleep.
John - Fine! I'll go see Carson. But when I come back--
Aiden - If you didn't see stars when you hit your head, you will when I'm through with you.
John - I'm counting on it.
***
Aiden - You know, I love trees.
John - What? Trees, you some weird brand of tree-hugger?
Aiden - What? No, wood is good too. Paper's nice. Imagine trying to write on stone... No, I just love trees. They're so diverse. Like people. Some are pretty, others ugly. Some can provide you with something, others are just annoying. But the best, the best are beautiful and they can give you the world.
John - Where you going with this?
Aiden - You are the best type of tree there is.
John - What?
Aiden - John. I love you.
John - What?
Aiden - Come here. (kiss) I (kiss) Love (kiss)-
John - I get it. I love you too.
Aiden - Um?
John - I was just confused. No one's ever compared me to a tree. (kiss) So do you actually love trees?
Aiden - No. I just couldn't think of something as grand and... plentiful as you.
John - Plentiful?
Aiden - Yep. But I can be plentiful too. Let me show you.

That was some night. Wow, I didn't know Ford could bend like that. he almost yelled when his head was coming... nearly touched the stick. But no, he bent his spine backwards and gritted his teeth. Head back, he looked so funny, though he still had so much grace. I mean wow.
"Sir?"
"Ford?"
"The guys are thinking Limbo Night again next week."
"Oh, sure. So Ford, how did you win?"
"Oh, I guess I'm just... very flexible."
***
"Come here, you're shaking. I told you not to. All this for a stupid dare. See, your teeth are chattering, you can't even speek. Gosh, you are so silly. Your hands are freezing! Dammit, I'm going to kill McKay. Daring you to jump in. We hadn't even checked the temperature. Who knows what could have been in there. No, don't worry, Dr. Beckett said you'll be fine. Shh, rest. I'll still be here when you wake, and then we can start planning how to get back at McKay. I... I'm getting cold here. Let's move to the bed."
