HEE. I love this. It feels a little like the end of Part 1 rewritten from memory, though... is it actually the end of Part 1?
This paragraph: Rodney's arms tightened around him when John hugged back and his lips touched the tip of John's left ear, and really John should've realised it was a date then, but he had been so busy thinking about goodbyes that he'd nearly missed the beginning in front of him. It was only when Rodney had untangled himself from John and said, "I'll. Um. See you around?" that he noticed that his heart was beating like the flurry of wings on a tiny bird. John took a deep breath, and another, and looked at Rodney: crumpled shirt, brown wispy hair, hands clenched together nervously and eyes shockingly blue, even in the dim light of the streetlight. Then he smiled and replied, "Yeah. See you." is delicious in that "we don't talk about emotions" sort of way. And I love Radek's crazy ex-wife.
