Tighter
by pairatime
I started running the moment Rodney's panicked voice called for a medic; it scared me far more than any Wraith could. My heart, my world, stopped the moment he looked up at me, his face was streaked in dark crimson and his eyes, his eyes looked so scared and lost. In that moment nothing else mattered, before he'd taken a step I was there grabbing him, holding him as I felt his hands grab me in return. I ran a hand thought his hair as I whispered into his ear telling him he was safe, he was ok. He just grabbed me tighter, so tight I didn't know how I was breathing. But as I looked down at the lifeless eyes of Sheppard I only wished he'd grab me tighter.
