This is so much my kind of fic and I love that in canon they often seem to be just a little push away from taking that extra step. There are these moments where I'm almost surprised they don't actually hug and kiss like this.

This is Rodney and John moving ever closer to each other, watching Rodney through John's eyes, feeling John trying to hold back but not really succeeding. I smiled through it all and that hug and kiss made me sigh in delight.

Thank you! It's got quite a number of specific things in there that I mentioned I specifically love, so either you and I feel the same way or you've put them there intentionally. Or maybe both :D
