Title: Another Word for Optimism
Author:Celli [livejournal.com profile] celli
Characters: Sheppard, McKay
Prompt: 04 - Fluff
Rating: Teen
Length: About 1000 words
Brief summary: Adorable. Rodney starts the day in an upbeat and happy mood, and that's something we get to see rarely in canon. (Though the moment when he is bouncing around in Hide and Seek saying 'invulnerable' is one of the best of those moments.) And that is the Rodney of this story, sweetly happy with the world, except when he's not.

So why is Rodney being such an optimist?


It was an immutable law of the universe: Rodney McKay never woke up in a good mood. Never. The sun could shine, the birds could sing, the Nobel committee could nominate him, but he always woke up three steps from homicide. (Which was why the coffeemaker was two steps from his bed.)

On this particular morning, however, Rodney awoke to find himself almost...maybe...just a little...cheerful. He even smiled before he got to the bottom of his first mug of coffee.
