Summary: When Sheppard learns Dr. Kavanagh's first name from McKay, the name game ensues

"His first name is Calvin."

McKay barely glanced up from his laptop, currently open on his lap. He was sitting cross-legged against the rockface, typing something in with his strangely delicate jet jerky finger movements.

"Yes," he said before going back to whatever he was typing. "I believe I just told you that."

"Wow," Sheppard said. He leaned against the rock, then slid down until he was sitting next to McKay. "No wonder he's such a bastard. His parents must've hated him."

"Mmm," McKay grunted, obviously not listening. He tapped a few keys.

"Calvin Kavanaugh," Sheppard murmurred. "Calvin Kavanaugh." Then, louder, "Cal Kavanaugh." He grinned. "Cal Kav. Calkav. Cali Kavi. Cali Kav. Cal Kavi. Calvi Kavi. Calvi Kav. Calvi Kavanaugh. Calvin--"

Sheppard paused, realizing that McKay had stopped typing. And was, in fact, openly gaping at him.

He shrugged. "It's a dumb name."

McKay didn't blink. "You're out of your mind, you know that?" He shook his head and went back to typing.

Sheppard thought for a minute. "Rodney McKay..."

"Don't," McKay said.

Sheppard started grinning again. "Rodney Mac. McRod. Rod McRod."

McKay let out a tiny smirk. "Johnny Shep."

"Johnny Shep," Sheppard said. He chuckled, put on an announcer voice. "Johnny Shep--porn star."

McKay looked at Sheppard sidelong. His smirk was louder this time, and he'd stopped typing again. "Rod McRod--action hero."

"Porn star," Sheppard corrected.

"That's you."

Sheppard gestured grandly. "McShep--porn star!"

McKay looked at him. "McShep?"

Sheppard blinked at him. He could feel the blood rushing to his face. "McKav?"

McKay seemed to consider that. "McShep," he said finally. He turned back to his computer screen. "I like that better."

McKay might even have murmurred "I like that a lot better," a second later, but Sheppard wasn't sure he heard him.
