Powder, huh? Sounds fun.

[Their elevator arrives with a ding. John steps inside, folding his arms over his chest. He isn't sure how he feels about the whole situation. It's unexpected, and John only likes surprises up to a point.

The hotel part is nice. Romantic, even. So is finally getting some real alone time. The roommates are always an issue. John's been hesistant to do any more than make out at his place after the one bad experience, but there's always the risk of Finn at Poe's. That's awkward in its own special way. John's not just his teammate, but his commanding officer.]


I'll think about it.

[A slight smile as they step outside.

It's the powder part John's hesitant about. Not because he's particularly against drugs. Everyone in Atlantis is always hopped up on something or other. Uppers. Downers. If you don't need to stay awake for days at a time, you're struggling to get some shut-eye before shit hits the fan again. John stays clean by his own choice, but he doesn't fault anyone for needing a little extra help.

What bothers John is that this is the first time Poe's really done anything like this, and John can't help but feel it's because he's high. Is it Poe's excitement to be with him that has him making plans and booking hotels, or is it the drugs? Is any part of this really about John, and experiencing something as a couple, or is it just about getting screwed up with someone safe?

Stepping outside, John regrets not grabbing a jacket. He hopes it's his only regret.]


And there aren't any side-effects? You're not going to crash hard?

I'm fine playing with it, on you, as long as I know it's safe.
