Just a tiny little bit of smut for your enjoyment. For my kink_bingo prompt Mirrors. It's John/Rodney of course, ~620 words and rated R. Thank you to the eminent the_cephalopod for checking it over for me!

Reflection 

John has never considered himself to be good-looking. He's too skinny and too hairy and there are too many scars marring his body. His hair never does what he wants it to do and it's beginning to go grey at the temples. His eyes are a weird colour, not quite green and not quite brown but somewhere in between. His five-o'clock shadow usually makes its first appearance around noon. His toes are long and crooked and his ears have this strange pointy shape that earns him countless comments every time someone picks Lord of the Rings for movie night.   

Not exactly magazine cover material, but it's never bothered John. He's inhabited this body for close to forty years and he feels comfortable in it. For the most part, it does what he tells it, even though there's been a little twinge in his left knee lately and the bruises he gets from sparring with Ronon and Teyla take a little longer to fade.  

So yeah, John likes his body, the way he would like a familiar old friend. What he doesn't get is why Rodney looks at him like he's beautiful. Why he likes spreading John over the bed and touching him for hours, just to see how he reacts.  

And he does react. He's only human after all, and Rodney McKay's fingers are just as clever as the rest of him. John suspects his skin has gotten addicted to Rodney's touch, and he's weirdly okay with that.  

He still doesn't get it though, that look of desire on Rodney's face as he traces the scar on John's thigh with his tongue and runs his fingers through the dark curls that cover John's chest. John feels comfortable in his body, but the way Rodney looks at him makes him feel self-conscious and embarrassed, makes him want to cover himself up. 

“Wanna get on with it down there, McKay?” he drawls, jerking his hips so that his dick bobs in the direction of Rodney's mouth.

Rodney looks up through obscenely long lashes with a thoughtful expression. “Hmm,” he mutters, studying John's cock, and then seems to reach a decision. “No, I don't think so. I want to watch some more.” 

“You're crazy,” John blurts out. “Why would you want to do that?” 

“What?” Rodney looks surprised. “You can't seriously mean... oh, of course you do, I forgot your ridiculous talent for under-appreciating yourself. Come here.” The next moment, Rodney has pulled John upright and led him across the floor. 

Rodney has a full-length mirror on the inside of his wardrobe door and he positions John in front of it, keeping him in place with one hand on his hip and the other on his belly. John can feel Rodney's erection against his ass and he closes his eyes and presses back against it, letting a soft moan escape his throat.  

“Open your eyes,” Rodney whispers into his ear, breath hot and moist over his cheek. “Open your eyes and watch yourself.” 

And John does. He meets his own gaze in the mirror, sees his own eyes, dark and glazed over with arousal. His lower lip, wet and swollen where he's chewed on it to keep from crying out in pleasure. His hard nipples, sticking out of the mat of hair on his chest. His cock, gently curving up against his belly, straining towards Rodney's hand.    

“Do you see it?” Rodney asks, planting a kiss on John's shoulder that sends a hot electrifying shiver through his body. “Do you see what I see?” 

Yeah, John sees it, sees himself through Rodney's eyes. He's beautiful, and Rodney's the one who makes him look like this.

I really think John doesn't see himself as good looking so this fic is perfect.

[zinfic.livejournal.com]

He totally doesn't! He never sees it coming so he can't be aware of how ridiculously pretty he is...

Thank you!

I was saving this as a little treat for myself when I saw that you'd posted it--I knew it would be good and I wasn't disappointed. I loved John's self catalog of perceived flaws (the five o'clock shadow that started at noon was a nice touch)and that though he didn't consider himself good-looking, he was comfortable in his body for the most part--which is a very neat and accurate character assessment here, I think.

I also loved the line about being addicted to Rodney's touch and being weirdly okay with that--you really nailed John's inner voice here.

But I *love* at the end where John sees himself through Rodney's eyes, and it is only because of Rodney that he can see any beauty in himself. That's just...guh! *blinks in admiration*

Thank you so much! I'm glad you thought it was in-character. I don't think John is very self-concious, and he's so completely clueless when it comes to his own appearence ;)

*hugs*
