John sat staring out the window of the lunchroom into the vast blueness of the sea. He wasn't really hungry, just making a stab at eating something. His mind tended to wander a lot these days. His thoughts were scrambled, but they always returned to the one, the one person that haunted his dreams and filled his waking hours with dread and desire intertwined.
Visions of the past swirled in John's head, long white hair falling across his face, large hands holding him tightly and warm breath caressing his neck. John shivered with the thought.
A familiar hiss next to his right ear startled John out of his latest fantasy.
"Miss me?"
"What the fuck? Shit! How did you get into Atlantis?"
"Hmm, I thought that you would be happier to see me."
"Why the hell would I be happy to see you? I'm gonna ask you one more time. How did you get in here, and why are you running around Atlantis unguarded?"
"I am not unguarded. See that fellow over there?" Todd nodded in the direction of a burly looking soldier. "He is my escort. He was nice enough to tell me where I might locate you. Mr. Woolsey seemed much more pleased to see me. He is the one who let me enter Atlantis. In fact, his invitation was quite congenial."
"Just like a damned vampire. Invite you in and let you suck us dry. I can see I'm gonna have to have a long talk with Woolsey. That's just totally messed up. Why would he be eager to see you?"
"I came bearing gifts," Todd chuckled.
John sneered. "I'm not a fan of your gifts. They usually get people killed."
"Not this time, John Sheppard." Todd's voice took on a serious tone, his gaze growing more intense as he took the seat across from John.
John sat up and took notice, a tiny chill winding its way down his spine. "What have you done, Todd?"
"Ah, I'm glad to see I finally have your attention. I've been working on something quite spectacular. It is an old project of mine that I discarded years ago, but after our last meeting, I decided to bring it out for another look. It seems I was on the right track after all. I have worked on it for this entire year. It went into the testing stage three moths ago. I don't like to make references to my brilliance, but in this case it is well justified."
John snorted, "Still as humble as ever I see. Are you ever gonna get to the point? This conversation is starting to work my nerves. I have other things to do besides sit here and listen to you drone on about how brilliant you are."
"Why are you being so hostile? I thought that we had come to an understanding. When you let me go last year, things were good. You made me think that there might be a future for us."
John laughed, "A future, for us? Are you nuts? I let you go after we were intimate and I haven't heard from you since. You just disappeared, no communication, no nothing. Now you're back and want to fuck the stupid human for old times sake and take off again. Well, it ain't gonna happen in this lifetime."
Todd growled low and leaned across the table, invading John's personal space. "I left so that we could have a future. What I have done, I have done for us. Everything that's happened in the last year is a result of my feelings for you, John. I did not take our mating lightly. Wraith do not just mate for pleasure. We bond with our partners. That is the Wraith way. I love you, John Sheppard."
John's mouth fell open as Todd's declaration spilled from his lips. He took a deep breath. He didn't really know how he felt about Todd, only that he felt something. John suddenly felt dizzy and he didn't know how to respond to Todd. He knew he had to make his feelings clear, but he needed to think first.
Todd sat back and glared at his lover. He'd worked so hard this past year. He didn't know what he would do if John rejected him now.
John decided to leave his response for later. Right now, John needed to know what exactly Todd had done. "Okay, let's hear it, what have you been doing for the last year?"
Todd seemed to deflate before John's eyes. His expression looked hurt, and John felt bad, but he just couldn't give him a coherent answer yet.
"I have developed a synthetic food source. A Wraith only need take it once a month and he will be fine, never having to feed on humans again." Todd crossed his arms over his chest and leaned back in the chair. "Do you think that is reason enough for my absence?"
John could feel his face flushing. Could it be true? Could it really work? If it did, then Todd would be the Wraith of the hour—brilliant indeed.
"Does it really work?" John finally dared to ask. "Who have you tested it on?"
"The best possible test subject—myself." Todd looked like the cat that had just swallowed the canary, but then, he probably had every right to look conceited. "Not all Wraith enjoy killing. Whether you believe that or not is up to you. Some of us would like a different life. I am one of those Wraith."
John smiled, finally impressed. "Maybe we should start over. Come back to my quarters and start from the beginning. I want to know everything that's been going on for the last year. After that, we can discuss the other–-issue. Okay?"
Todd chuckled. "Fine, maybe then you will tell me how you really feel."
"Maybe," John grinned as he got up from the table. Todd followed close behind him, a tiny glimmer of hope finally blossoming in has chest. One way or another, the *issue* would be resolved soon, Todd thought.

Slow caresses and gentle rocking built to pounding thrusts as Todd wrapped his right hand around John's throbbing cock, the pain of the Wraith's touch replaced now by sweet, searing pleasure. John gasped, "Oh yeah, fuck, yes. That's it, feels so damned good!"
Todd's grunts grew louder, finally ending in a deafening howl as he reached his climax inside John's hot, tight ass. John's release came a split second later, every drop of his molten seed absorbed by Todd's feeding hand. It made clean up a breeze, John thought to himself in a lazy, half-asleep, post-orgasmic haze.
John awoke to the gentle nuzzling of his neck, realization dawning like a white light exploding in his brain. He'd given into his primal needs and let the Wraith fuck him again. They'd barley reached his quarters before Todd was all over him, or maybe he was all over Todd. Anyway, it was a mute point now. The deed was done and his large, over amorous lover seemed ready for round two.
"Are you never satisfied?" John asked, rolling over to face Todd.
"It is difficult to resist your charms. I can hardly be held responsible for my actions in this matter. Besides, I think you are the one that assaulted me as we walked through the door. If I remember correctly, you pushed me onto the bed and screamed fuck me now. "
John laughed. Todd could be extremely amusing at times. He had a bizarre and twisted sense of humor, which John rather liked. "Touché, I suppose I did, but right now we need to continue our discussion."
"Ah yes, what was it we were talking about again?"
"Don't feign ignorance. I want to know all the details. Give it up, right now."
"As you wish, let's see, where do I begin?"
"How about at the beginning?" John grinned.
