Words of Love (Beatles Cover) Sparky Valentine's treats if you can tell if it's John and Paul or John and George. I think it's the latter.

Words of Love
John Sheppard ran a frustrated hand through his hair as he waited for the transporter. Valentine’s Day was his least favorite holiday. Despite John’s love of candy, this particular day was a farce. He would always smirk when nobody could tell him the real significance of Valentine’s Day.
Elizabeth Weir poured herself some punch and sighed. Valentine’s Day was something she put on par with dentist appointments. You just go and get it over with and continue your day. She made the rounds talking to everyone and mingling. All the couples at the party were civilians, Elizabeth was glad General O’Neill agreed to let all the married personnel send a video message to their spouses.
“Hey Elizabeth,†Ronon greeted.
“Hi Ronon, how is your second Valentine’s Day on Atlantis?†Elizabeth smiled seeing Ronon uncomfortable.
“I still don’t get all the flowery stuff. I mean the things die in a few days. Not the best symbol for love,†Ronon grabbed a handful of candy.
“I never thought of it that way…†Elizabeth pondered Ronon’s simple yet poignant statement.
“The music is pretty cool,†Ronon said as he munched on some chocolate.
“Not my thing, but it’s keeping everyone entertained,†Elizabeth suppressed a laugh at Ronon’s Earth slang.
On the temporary stage the band had Radek Zelenka on drums, Dr. Carson Beckett playing an electric bass, Major Lorne on a Fender Stratocaster, and Lt. Laura Cadman playing keyboard and singing.
Go baby go go
We’re right behind you
Go baby go go
Yeah we're looking at you
John entered the large dock just as the song ended. Not being big on large crowds, he looked for some familiar faces. By the snack table he saw Elizabeth and Ronon and decided to join them. On the way over he saw Ronon leave and Elizbaeht standing by herself.
“Alright everybody, let’s slow it down for minute. I’m gonna turn it over to the boys to handle the singing,†Laura turned to count off the band.
“Rodney, ask her to dance,†Jennifer Keller implored her boyfriend.
“Really? Doesn’t that seem odd?†McKay’s face contorted into confusion.
“No girl wants to be left alone during a slow song. Especially on Valentine’s Day,†Jennifer pointed out.
“Huh! That makes no sense,†McKay crossed his arms in defiance.
“Hey John,†Rodney saw John as he passed.
“Hey Rodney, hey Jennifer,†John smiled at his friends.
“Can you do me a favor and go dance with Elizabeth?†McKay asked bluntly.
“Uh…†was the only response John offer being taken aback at Rodney’s request.
“Colonel, she’s all alone during a slow song,†Keller added.
“I guess. What’s one little dance,†John smiled and went to ask Elizabeth to dance.
“Hi John,†Elizabeth greeted seeing John approach.
“Hey Elizabeth. Having fun?†John asked.
“Okay I guess, and you?†Elizabeth replied.
“Just got here. Shall we?†John extended his hand.
“Well,†Elizabeth thought it over for a moment, “why not.â€
Hold me close
And tell me how you feel
Tell me love is real
John pulled Elizabeth close to him as Lorne and Zelenka harmonized on lyrics. Deep down he always wondered what Elizabeth would feel like in his arms. John had to admit, having her in his arms felt better than he thought.
Words of love
You whisper soft and true
Darling I love you
Elizabeth tensed at John holding her so close. She wouldn’t let someone she was not in a relationship with be this close, but a feeling of peace overtook Elizabeth. The scent of gunpowder and John’s aftershave flooded her senses. Elizabeth closed her eyes enjoying the aroma.
Let me hear you say
The words I long to here
Darling when you’re near
Elizabeth played through their relationship. They are friends without doubt. But she could sense something else under the surface. The banter and teasing. The smiles and looks. The looks always left Elizabeth wondering. She saw a pleading for something. Something she wanted to give, but never sure that is what was wanted.
Words of love
You whisper soft and true
Darling I love you
John fought the urge to let his head fall into Elizabeth’s curls. Just the faint scent of her shampoo played with his mind. If not for the crowd, John wondered if Elizabeth would even mind. Would she push him away? Do nothing? Or would she lay her head on his chest on whisper his name softly.
The song ended but John and Elizabeth held each other for a moment longer. When they parted their eyes met. Searching to see if the other felt the same connection during their brief interlude. A shared, faint smile confirmed what both wanted.
“Love birds, time to pick it up with some Spin Doctors,†Laura ended John and Elizabeth’s moment and moved the party ahead.

And as I struggle to lace my hiking boots....and find my shorts (yes in Feb!)...I hope everyone at least got the Valentine's present I did- insanely beautiful weather. This could be my sky today....
And a kiss for you:
