Stolen from veritas_st to distract me from the storm that is scaring the crap outta me.

Give me a pairing and I will tell you:

who is the big spoon/little spoon
what is their favorite non-sexual activity
who uses all the hot water in the morning
what they order from take out
what is the most trivial thing they fight over
who does most of the cleaning
what has a season pass in their DVR
who controls the netflix queue
who calls up the super/landlord when the heat’s not working
who steals the blankets
who leaves their stuff around
who remembers to buy the milk
who remembers anniversaries

If you're lucky I might write a drabble too.

what is the most trivial thing they fight over - everything, it had worried John in the beginning, that they might stop fighting, be too careful of the others feelings but they had kept the same routine, Rodney still had the ability to dance on John's last nerve and was never shy about voicing how wrong John was, often and John found he had no problem pulling Rodney back down to earth, if for no other reason than a Rodney McKay unchecked was a dangerous animal, capable of the destruction of at least a couple of solar systems. Most of the time their arguments were over and done in a flash, but every now and then there would be fights of a different nature, harsh words and quick tempers where the words flew unchecked, each one sharp, direct and aimed to wound. They would be over almost as quick as they started, usually resolved with Rodney plastered to John's back whispered words, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, I love you forcing john to turn round, smile slowly growing, soft lips meeting until they forgot what they were fighting about.
who does most of the cleaning - John, Rodney doesn't like cleaning, the order in his mind that gets him through each day seems lost in domestic senses, he leaves clothes where he takes them off, and stuffs sweetie wrappers in piles until they resemble small christmas trees and John with his almost obsessive cleanliness would threaten him with sending all his stuff back to his own room, a room that hadn't been used in nearly three years, but they both knew it was an empty threat. John would never go back to the cold sterile cleanliness of life before Rodney McKay, not even on the days he found melted chocolate spread over his favourite pair of sweats.
what has a season pass in their DVR - John had known Rodney was different from the day he met him, but it was the day they finally moved in together giving up on the pretence of separate quarters after seven years that he realised just how insane his life had now become. As he watched Rodney, the man who found it impossible to put rubbish in a bin obsessively catalogue his DVD's of Torchwood and something called misfits he smiled as he realised that even after all these years there was still always something new to learn about the man he now loved even more than he loved the city that brought the, together.
who controls the netflix queue - Rodney might be the king of the box sets, owning practically every scifi series known to man but it was John who usually decided what they would watch, paying less attention to what was on screen and more to the man curled up at his side, rambling on constantly about everything from the cinematography to the totally unrealistic views on science in most scifi shows. Before long Rodney's voice would fade out, his eyelids drooping as he fell asleep on John's shoulder and John would sit, watch the end of the show, his mind filled with the feel, sound and smell of Rodney around him, and he would wonder for what seemed like the millionth time who he had gotten so damn lucky.
who calls up the super/landlord when the heat’s not working - John had gotten used to things never going wrong in his quarters, his relationship with the city he loved making sure that his room was always at the right temperature, the light never too bright or dark. That had changed after Rodney moved in. Rodney's ideas about fixing things that weren't wrong and his ideas about making things better coupled with the city's almost possessive nature over John usually ended with John playing peacemaker, speaking softly to the city under his breath until the water heated up again or the lights came on, of course Rodney would scoff at John's peacemaking attempts, of course he would then usually drag John to bed words of ownership and possessiveness falling from his lips showing John and the city just who John belonged too.
who steals the blankets - Rodney hated being too warm, it never helped that John was like an electric blanket at night time so more often than not the blankets would end up on the floor as their limbs tangled and John provided Rodney with all the heat he would ever need.
