Why this must be read:
Because Parrish having such a massive crush on Lorne that he turns into a bumbling, tongue-tied klutz whenever he's near Lorne is completely adorkable. And Lorne, who has his own crush, not having a clue why Parrish is so jumpy and skittish around him is equally as adorkable.
It was odd, Lorne thought, that the man everyone else seemed to know and the man that he knew were almost two completely different people. The Doctor Parrish that the Marines knew was a cool, competent scientist, knowledgeable, funny, occasionally self-deprecating. The Marines all thought he was one of the most likable scientists on the base, one with whom most of them got along, even enjoyed working with.
But Lorne almost never saw that man. The Doctor Parrish that Lorne knew was jumpy and skittish, usually silent but stuttering when he did talk, sometimes clumsy even. He always seemed preoccupied or maybe embarrassed, never quite looking Lorne in the eye. He kept his head down and did his job but he wasn’t the cool guy that the rest of the military thought him to be.
Case in point, Lorne thought. When he’d stood there earlier and watched Parrish’s interactions with the Marines in line, he almost didn’t recognize him. The smile and laugh was something he almost never got to see. Which was a pity, Lorne thought, as that smile was devastating. He thought he could definitely get used to seeing that smile. Days, nights, any time really. But as soon as Lorne had approached, he got the other Parrish, the klutzy, shy, tongue-tied Parrish.
