Bravery

Summary:

Rodney could be brave!

Notes:

For Romancing McShep 2026

For Fluffbruary 2026 day 18 - courage

For McSheplets prompt #132 - kiss

How could I not put those together!

While it says it's post #100 of the McSheplet prompts, I've done more than that, since there's a multi-chaptered piece that was part of a different challenge. But it feels good to have this many prompts filled!

Work Text:

It took Rodney some time to work up the courage to kiss John. He took the opportunity one night, on 'their' pier, as they drank beer.

Maybe the beer gave him a bit more courage. He'd take it.

John's eyes went wide as Rodney leaned it, telegraphing his intention.

Then John leaned toward him. The first kiss was a bit askew. They were too far apart for more than simple meeting of lips.

That John didn't protest, Rodney took as a win.

Then John moved closer, wrapping an arm around Rodney's shoulders.

John initiated the second kiss. It was amazing.
