"If you could do anything you wanted with your last two weeks, what would it be?"
Rodney glanced at him sharply—well, sharply for a guy who had matched John drink for drink. "Have lots and lots of sex."
John smiled because it was just like Rodney to turn around and act like a guy when you expected him to act like a scientist. "Not come up with a general theory of everything?"
"Grand unification theory, yeah, that too." Rodney leaned his head back against the couch. "What about you?"
John took a drink. "I'd probably go for the sex."
Rodney looked at him sidelong. "Kirk."


Recommended because...
This is as desperate as you'd expect, with two weeks until certain death. It's also hot, and touching, and not as sad as it could be, since we know how the siege will turn out.
