Thanks for posting this. I loved that Lorne was the hesitant and dubious one. Though I'd have to agree with his caution, at first it seemed like Mitchell was approaching the whole situation as an implied order rather than a proposition —and one that could easily torpedo both his and Sheppard's careers if Lorne weren't receptive. Filling in the blanks later that Sheppard had noticed some previous tension/yearning on Atlantis made that make more sense in retrospect.

And, of course, the visual of Mitchell and Lorne jumping one another is sufficiently hot to risk spontaneous combustion...
