snippet inspired by picture of Joe with a cigar (but there's no cigar yet)
The picture I'm thinking of can be found here (scroll down.) I want to evoke a specific mood - I'm not sure if it works. And don't know where it's going... bed, eventually, one hopes.
John found him, though the room was full of people. He eeled up next to Rodney like it was the most natural thing in the world, somehow leaning into the wall and leaning into Rodney's space simultaneously, his wiry frame curved like a question mark.
Rodney reminded himself that the answer to the question was no. Firm, unrelenting. No, no, definitely no, no, not going to happen, no.
John leaned a few centimeters closer. "So, you enjoyin' the party, Rodney?" He waved toward the room with the hand holding his beer bottle - the room with all the other people John could be talking to but wasn't.
"Pretty fresh," he said.
"What?" Rodney said. "What did you say?"
"Never mind," John said. "So how's life? The universe and everything?"
Rodney frowned. "It's the same universe as last Friday, as far as I'm aware."
John laughed and Rodney looked at him, surprised. John never laughed at his jokes. Rodney took a closer look at him. His eyes were all... shiny, and his hair looked like it was even more in need of cutting than usual.
AND THEN WHAT? IDK.
