Why This Must Be Read: I think we all need something a bit softer right now, what with everything. This is a very cute AU 'verse where John's an elementary school teacher and Rodney's a professor and physics teacher. They meet accidentally as John's kids are out on a museum trip and are full of questions. The 'verse develops into an established relationship, with lots of slices of life across the years. It's a great read, and excellent comfort fic.
Finally it's just John and… the guy who got talked down by some second graders. He isn't, John notices, much older than John himself, a little more tired looking but otherwise the only remarkable thing about him is the way his hair sort of tufts from his head with the same overly bright energy he'd used to debate with Peter. He meet John's gaze, eyes smart and a little fierce, but then drops it as he seems to evaluate the situation: strange guy talking to kids that apparently are in some way John's.
"It's important for kids to be able to debate, especially about scientific matters," he says. Which wouldn't have sounded like an apology (because John gets the sense from it that the guy doesn't make many and wouldn't do them well if he did) except he looks a little embarrassed and talks a little fast, like he thinks John's ready to call security about the weird guy who debates with strange children.
Yeah, it's a little weird, but hey, kids are weird, so John cuts him some slack, because it wasn't like the kids hadn't started it, and it had been an interesting discussion (might show up in the next week's writing assignments, what do you think is the most important part of the body? Give examples!)
