Oh my goodness! I love this! I agree, panicked!Rodney is one of my favorites (curse SciFi channel for skipping 38 Minutes!) and you capture him INCREDIBLY well! The line that really got me and set the tone for the whole fic, for me at least, was:
Elizabeth kisses him. And his brain short-circuits, and several electrical impulses misfire at once causing him to remember his cat and wonder if she's being taken care of, attempt to draft a violent response to a former supervisor's critique of his lab work, and of course, try to figure out whether he has any condoms actually handy at the moment or if they are all, like his common sense, Outside The Closet.
