1. The pained expression on another person's face when Rodney won't. Stop. Talking. John's pretty sure Rodney has absolutely no clue.
2. That people on Atlantis genuinely like Rodney. He doesn't need to be smarter than everyone else, doesn't have to be the only person with a solution, to prove his worth to these people. They'd like him whether he was useful or not.
3. That when John sys, "Could we talk about this somewhere else?" he really means that he wants to talk about it somewhere else. Two foot to the side, or around a corner, or whispering over a cafeteria table does not count as a private place and is not appropriate for any discussion involving feelings, sex or personal vulnerabilities.
4. The sunrise from one of the balconies. It's a beautiful sight that Rodney never sees.
5. That Rodney has moved his laptop, his spare uniforms, his toothbrush, mouthwash and dental floss, his underwear, his DVD collection and his pillow into John's room. The only thing missing is his collection of framed ego-memorabilia; when that moves over, John hopes Rodney will notice that they're living together.
