More Than She Wants

Sandra Morgan. Seventh grade school dance. She turned him down.

Jessica Parsons. Homecoming in their sophomore year. She laughed in his face, then went with the star QB.

Diane Candido. Fourth-year cadet at the Academy. She winced, saying she liked him, but not that way.

Teyla Emmagen. Friend and team-mate in Atlantis. She never mentions what Thalen said to her, wearing John's body, speaking in his voice, telling her John's mind.

That - and her dismissal of his unrestrained kiss - says all he needs to know about Teyla's feelings for him.

John cares about her more than she wants to know.

- fin -

NOTES: I like Shep/Teyla, but after TLG, I'm just not sure she's that interested in him right now.

Great little drabble! Still a wishing, hoping, and praying S/T fan, though! :) You're right though -- I definitely wouldn't want them to rush anything, especially this early on.

Hey, I love S/T, too. I'm just not convinced that Teyla's all that into John right now. It doesn't mean there can't be moment between them, or that they don't care - it just means they're not going to act on it.

I know where you're coming from. Plus, if I know TPTB at all, they're going to take the whole shipping situation on Atlantis very slowly.
