Work Text:
Rodney thinks he should have started his bizarre romance with John before the mutation. It would be easier if he knew a quirk was purely human, and not residual bugginess. No matter how hard he tries not to, he startles sometimes seeing John's slit irises or claws or the residual blue-grey patches rough on John's skin. John pretends he doesn't notice.
Still, Carson says John's well over ninety-percent human, and in the dark, in bed, mouthing Rodney's skin, John's rough voice says, this is all me and believe me and I wish you could see me.
Rodney wishes that, too.
