The new neighbors downstairs.

[icarus]

On the one hand, the new neighbors (you know guys with the power tools?) are playing music too loudly, it's after 10 p.m., and wildernessguru has to be up at 4 a.m. They completely ignored my knock and refused to come to the door.

On the other hand, when I knocked a few minutes later the guy from Poland in the apartment next to them came to the door completely, unselfconsciously stark naked, and asked me what was going on in his Zelenka-ish eastern European accent. Which made my night. (He had his girlfriend over and he was a) mostly hard, and b) well hung.)

Also, I now have soooooo many bunnies about Zelenka being unselfconsciously naked and freaking McKay out.


Apparently, Zelenka slept in the nude.

"You knock on my door, and now I have to put on some pants?" Zelenka puzzled at Rodney, mildly annoyed.

"McKay..." John said. He leaned his shoulder against the wall. "Eastern Europeans have different attitudes about these things."

"Yes. Now what is it you want?" Zelenka put his hands on his hips.

Rodney had his hand out to cover... certain parts as he blinked away. "Well, I -- uh, that is to say, we, I -- meaning Sheppard and I, we were--"

"I'll translate." John rolled his eyes and leaned his head against the wall, completely untroubled. His eyes flicked down briefly. "Rodney and I were playing a multi-player video game. Well, it turns out that the power recalibration protocols you established today forces it to run at half power. We were just wondering if you could either change the protocols or give us a work around."

Rodney spun towards him. "I could do this on my own, of course--" His glanced downward and looked away in horror. "--but it would be much quicker and easier if you just told us what you did, and by the way, you're supposed to send me a report on any major changes!"

"But this was not a major change...."

John interrupted, slouching against the wall as he poured on the charm, "It isn't. But it does affect our game. So if you could just... help us out, we'd be really grateful."

Zelenka muttered in Czech, shrugged, and described to Rodney a quick work around. He shook his head as he turned, giving them an eye full of his bare ass just before the door slid shut. John grinned.

"I can't believe it!" Rodney spluttered. "He just stood there. With no clothes on!"

John tipped his head, smothering a small smile. "It's a multi-national force, Rodney."

"You enjoyed that."

"No, I appreciated it." John flushed, giving Rodney his naughty boy smirk. "Hey. What can I say? For a little guy Radek's well hung."

Oh, that is great. Though I can also imagine McKay being so completely focused he's oblivious to Zelenka's state of undress and John being the one that's flustered.

John was determinedly staring at a distant point somewhere far beyond Zelenka's right shoulder. He'd already looked down once and that was once too often.

McKay didn't even glance up from his tablet, just input the information Zelenka impatiently recited.

Down the corridor, the transporter opened and Sergeants Reese and Wales exited, starting down the corridor. John made a fluttering, embarrassing motion with his hand. "Can we take this inside? You're - anyone can see you," he told Zelenka.

Wales and Reese passed at that point, taking in their commanding officer and the CSO standing in an open doorway along with a buck naked Czech scientist. Wisely, they said nothing, just lengthened their strides and kept moving.

Rodney finally looked up from his tablet and blinked. "Hunh. You're right. The variation in levels does correlate with the replacement crystals we used on conduit B45. We'll have to recalibrate." He started off down the corridor, then paused when neither John or Zelenka followed. "Well? What are you waiting for?"

Then he snapped his fingers and pointed at Zelenka. "And put some pants on or you'll scare the horses."

And then he makes a remark about Sheppard feeling intimidated.

*snorfle!* I love this, too! I can totally see both variations.

Ha! Love that last little tag-line that let us know that, yes, he's aware Radek is naked. I get the feeling that this isn't the first nude conversation they've had....

*snicker*
Of course it isn't the first time.

It was also a nod to the fact that it is common knowledge in Atlantis that Zelenka is well-endowed. His is the name that comes up [insert Beavis type snicker here] along with Sheppard's when the ladies discuss exactly who is hung like a horse.

Also, when Rodney is really inspired and intent on his work he wouldn't give a damn about pants either, except it's Atlantis and sometimes there are sparks. It's kind of like cooking nude - just not practical.
