He Said, She Said

Summary: Sam points something out to our clueless boys

What Daniel said...

Daniel rubbed his eyes fretfully, then slid his glasses off. He was exhausted, enough to stop fighting and finally admit it. He pulled open his desk drawer, got out the prescribed eye drops and set it on top. He closed the drawer, tilted his head back and carefully put two drops in each eye, then sighed with relief. He stood and stretched, then walked to his couch and lay down, falling asleep instantly.

"Daniel can you..." Sam trailed off, smiling at the sleeping man on his couch. He was so cute, all curled up, his ridiculously long lashes brushing his cheek. He murmured something in another language and shifted before settling down again. She walked over and knelt down beside her friend, running gentle fingers through his hair.

"Mm." He hummed and she had to smile.

"Feel's g'd Jack, don't stop." He murmured and her hand dropped in shock.

'Jack!?' and all of the sudden everything fell into place and she was shattered.

What Sam said...

Jack was wading steadily through his paperwork, signing requisitions and initialing reports to go to Hammond. As he pulled a new report in front of him his door slammed open and an enraged Major strode into his office.

"Carter?" his eyebrow raised as he watched her use excruciating care to close his door.

"How could you do this to me?" she shouted.

He eyed her with annoyance, "What in the hell are you talking about Carter?"

"You led me on when you and Daniel have been having, ..having.." she sputtered.

Jack's face was blank, "Having what?" he asked, totally at a loss for the rage he was seeing.

"Don't ask, don't tell Sir." She hissed.

"What?" Now he was totally confused.

"You-and-Daniel!" she enunciated.

"Me and Daniel what?"

She let out a shriek, then leaned forward and planted her hands on his desk, "*Fucking* Sir." She spat.

Jack sat back, images that he'd never considered flashing through his mind's eye at warp speed. "Whoa! I don't know what you're talking about!" he protested.

"Right Sir." She said and spun on her heel, opening the door to march out, then slamming it.

Jack looked at the closed door, puzzlement on his face, then shook his head, "PMS." He stated emphatically, putting the entire ludicrous conversation out of his mind as he opened the next report.

What Jack said...

At Jack's house that night he and Daniel were eating Chinese, discussing their last mission. As Daniel took another large bite Jack pointed at him with a chopstick, "Carter came into my office today and accused us of fucking each other." He made a 'you and me' motion with the chopstick.

Daniel inhaled a water chestnut and began to choke. Jack huffed and walked around and did a quick Heimlich maneuver, feeling his friend cough into his napkin.

"Ok?" he asked and Daniel raised his hand for Jack to back off. Jack walked back around and sat down.

"She what?" Daniel asked when he could speak. All sorts of visions of a naked muscular Jack and him doing all sort of illegal things were swimming through his brain.

"Yeah, for some reason she thinks were together. Do you know where she got that idea?"

Daniel eyed Jack speculatively, "Well, you're a good looking guy, but I think I'd know if we were fucking."

Jack laughed appreciatively, "Yeah, me too. But she didn't let me get a word in edgewise before she swept out again."

Daniel snorted, "PMS."

"Exactly."

They finished their meal and cleared everything up, then sat on the couch watching a hockey game. Instead of being comfortable though, they were a little tense. "Ohfercryinoutloud!" Jack exclaimed and Daniel had to laugh, "Yeah." They both consciously settled down and relaxed and the rest of the evening passed.

What Jack and Daniel said...

Jack was kneeling between Daniel's legs, mouth wrapped around his best friends cock, moving up and down, when he suddenly woke up. He rubbed his face and cursed the power of suggestion. Wincing he lifted his blanket and eyed his erection with disgust, "You're straight! Cut it out!"

Meanwhile Daniel was moaning in his sleep. He was on his hands and knees, the feel of Jack's cock sliding into him making him swear, then groan with delight. The feel of wetness in his shorts woke him and he sat up in disgust, "Geez, I'm not 16 anymore." He complained.

Both men got up and met in the hallway, Jack recognizing the smell of semen while Daniel eyed Jack's hard on. Their eyes met and Daniel sighed, "This is not my fault."

Jack held up his hand, "Hey, don't look at me!"

"Kinda hard not to, you could poke an eye out with that thing."

With a laugh Jack gestured to Daniel, "You go clean up, I'm going to jerk off. And I am so blaming Carter."

Daniel went into the bathroom and washed up, his mind solely on the thought of Jack jerking off in the next room. His own cock was rising again and he looked into the mirror, 'Where did this come from? Why didn't I see this attraction to Jack before?' he knew that Jack was his best friend, that they relied on each other, but this had come out of left field.

Jack was lying on his bed, lazily fisting his erection, trying to think of a woman. ANY woman. Unfortunately his mind kept going back to Daniel. He finally surrendered and began to imagine Daniel's body. A couple of minutes later his door opened and Daniel stood there, naked, his renewed erection bobbing, and as their eyes met Jack lost control, his back arching as he came, his come fountaining over his trembling fingers, dripping onto his hand.

After he came down off his high he shook his head at Daniel, "We're in so much trouble." His voice was husky.

Daniel nodded and disappeared to his room.

Jack covered his eyes with one arm and wondered when his life had gone off the rails.

What Sam said...

The next morning the men didn't mention the events of the night before, just chatted quietly. On Monday morning they met each other in the elevator, standing shoulder to shoulder like they always did as the descended to the SGC. When the elevator doors opened on the correct level they walked out, their eyes meeting before they headed to their own offices.

Daniel sighed with relief as he walked into the sanctuary of his artifact and book strewn office. Just standing beside Jack had made him hard. 'Merde'. He cursed to himself before sitting down to look at the new pile of folders from his subordinates.

His door opened and Sam walked in, the look in her eyes making him immediately uncomfortable.

"Hey Sam."

"Daniel." She shut the door behind her and he swallowed nervously, "What's up?" he asked a little desperately before giving himself a mental slap in the head for the double entendre.

"Why didn't you tell me?" she asked reproachfully.

"Tell you what?" He riposted, trying to keep his heart rate down, and trying to not blush guiltily.

"Come on Daniel! About you and the Colonel!"

Daniel leaned back in his chair and pinched the bridge of his nose, "Jack told me that you thought we were together. We're not Sam."

"Oh please." She replied scornfully, getting up to pace and wave her arms, "You spend all of your downtime together! Then there's the way the Colonel treats you, it's obvious."

'"Obvious". She says', Daniel thought with wry humor, 'Not so obvious to Jack and I.' He looked up at his friend, "So, just because Jack and I spend time together, that means we're sleeping together?" He cocked his head, "Does that mean that when we take Teal'c with us we're having a threesome?" he shot back and she blushed.

The door opened and Jack stepped inside, an eyebrow arched, "What's up?" His eyes went immediately to Daniel, asking silently if he was ok.

Sam caught this, "I don't believe either of you." She said tightly, "I'm going to my lab."

"You do that." Jack said steadily and her eyes flashed with anger as she left. Jack looked at his friend, "Well that went well." Daniel just thumped his head on his desk.

What Teal'c said...

Sam was in a righteous snit, absolutely so sure that they were doing this to hurt her, that the Colonel had lied to her and led her on that she literally bounced off of Teal'c. "Oh god, are you ok?" she gasped.

His eyes twinkled, "I am unhurt Major Carter."

She eyed him for a moment, then said, "Can I ask you a question Teal'c?"

"You may."

She looked around, "Not here. Let's go to my office." Teal'c bowed his head in agreement and followed her to her office, watching in bemusement as her agitation showed as she closed the door and puttered around her desk for a moment. Finally she sat down and looked at her team member, "Did you know that Colonel O'Neill and Daniel are together?"

His head cocked, "How do you mean Major Carter?"

"You know, 'together'." She emphasized the word.

Now his eyebrows raised, "I am unaware of any relationship beyond friendship that Daniel Jackson and Colonel O'Neill may have."

"Oh, they're in one alright, and under my goddamned nose!" she bitched angrily.

"I am confused Major Carter. Are you not seeing someone?" Teal'c asked.

"Well, yes. But I always thought in the end that the Colonel and I..." She trailed off.

"You are upset that O'Neill would break the rules for Daniel Jackson, but not for yourself."

Sam closed her eyes, "No. Yes. Maybe." Opening her eyes she frowned, "What there are doing is against all regulations!" a pause, "What do you think Teal'c?"

Teal'c sat silently, eyeing his distressed teammate for a long moment. "I think that if one has found love then one should not turn it away Major Carter, not even for regulations." And he stood, bowed his head respectfully and left.

What General Hammond said...

General Hammond watched his preoccupied team for a few minutes, wondering what was going on before clearing his throat, "Major Carter?" She jumped and grabbed a file and began the briefing.

Daniel listened with half an ear, his attention on the man across from him. Jack didn't appear to be listening at all, his hooded eyes watching Daniel closely.

"Colonel O'Neill?" the General said and Jack looked over, "Yes Sir. The planet has two distinct areas where naquedah can be found. There appears to be no natives and it has a 26 hour day and ruins for Daniel to play in."

The General smiled wisely and Daniel snorted a laugh, "You amaze me Jack. I wouldn't have bet that you heard one word in ten."

Jack grinned, "I can multitask."

Sam was pissed, the easy banter between the two men was acting like a red flag before a bull. She carefully put her files in order, not noticing that both the General and Teal'c had noticed her reaction to the other men.

"Very well SG-1, you have a go. Colonel, can you stay behind for a minute?" The men watched as the rest of SG-1 filed out, Sam stiff, Teal'c was, well, was like the mountain, and Daniel was preoccupied with a paper in his hands.

Jack turned to Hammond, "Sir?"

"Is your team mission ready Colonel? Things seem a little tense." The General's perceptive eyes rested on his 2IC.

Jack shrugged, "We'll work it out Sir." His eyes didn't meet his commanders, he seriously didn't know if it was going to work out.

"Very well, you're dismissed." The General couldn't help smile at the visible relief on Jack's face as he fled.

A few minutes later there came a knock at the General's office door, "Come in."

A visibly uncomfortable Major Carter walked in. "Major, what can I do for you?"

She stood silently for a moment, then spoke, "Sir, a situation had come to my attention. I think it could be detrimental to the satisfactory working of SG-1."

General Hammond was suddenly wary, "And what is it Major?" He watched her take a deep breath and knew he wasn't going to like what came out.

"Two of the members on SG-1 are having an unauthorized relationship Sir."

The General sat there for a moment, trying to put his words in order, "Major Carter. I can only assume that you have not gone to your own CO because he is one of the members of this relationship?"

"Yes Sir."

"And have you noticed a degradation of military order and discipline because of this relationship?"

He watched as she struggled to answer this, "Come on Major." He snapped, "Either there has been or there hasn't."

"No Sir." She answered honestly and his face softened, "Major Carter. Samantha." He watched her meet his eyes in surprise, "I have been a General for a few years, and a commander even longer than that. I don't care what the personal relationships of the officers under my command are like, as long as they're discreet. I haven't seen any problems in SG-1, barring you. Are you asking for a change of command? Is that it?"

Dismay flashed across her face, "No Sir!"

"Then are you asking to be relieved from SG-1?"

"No Sir."

He sighed and tapped his pen on the table, "I can't help what you feel Major. You need to decide what is more important to you. The friendship of these men, or what you feel about their relationship." He looked at his watch, ignoring the humiliated flush that was on her face, "Your mission is due to head out in 15 minutes Major." She popped to attention, "Yes Sir."

"Dismissed Major." And he watched as she marched out.

What Daniel said...

On the planet Jack didn't change procedure one iota. He assigned Sam and Teal'c to their mineral surveys, then took Daniel to the ruins. It was quiet, almost hushed inside of the mud and brick building. Daniel was carefully sweeping his large brush over the dusty surface when Jack came back from a quick perimeter check to lounge in the doorway. "Carter and Teal'c are checking out the naquedah, it looks promising."

"Mm hmm." Daniel replied, distracted by Jack's presence and trying to concentrate on the wall in front of him. It was a few minutes later when he felt Jack's presence looking over his shoulder.

"Jack?" His body was tightening in all of the wrong places due to Jack's proximity.

"Danny?" He felt Jack's breaths ruffle his hair and he groaned.

"Jack, you're making me crazy." The breathless quality of Daniel's voice made Jack even harder and he shivered, his groin now aching fiercely.

"Good, glad I'm not the only one." He moved back to the safety of the other side of the room to look out the doorway.

Daniel turned around and stared, "You mean it's not just me?"

Jack threw a grin over his shoulder, "Nope."

"Oh shit." Daniel said.

"Sir, we've finished with the mineral survey." Came Sam's voice over the radio. Jack turned and focused those coffee brown eyes on him, "Roger that Carter. Danny's still working here."

"How long Sir?"

Jack raised his eyebrows at Daniel who looked around, "Two more hours?"

"Two hours Carter."

"Yes Sir. It will take us an hour to reach your position."

"Roger that."

Jack smiled, "You'd better get crackin' Rock boy. I'd like to be home in time to get some ribs."

His friend's face lit up, "Uncle Louie's?"

"Only the best for you Danny."

Daniel's eyes narrowed, "Is this a date?"

Jack shrugged, "If you want."

"Ok!"

What Janet said...

Back on base they went through the obligatory medical exams with Doc Frasier, then a briefing, then Jack and Daniel headed home.

Sam stayed on base to talk to Janet. After hovering for awhile, talking about nothing in particular, Janet finally sighed in exasperation, "What is it Sam?"

"Do you know any gay couples on base?" Sam blurted out.

"Sam, don't ask, don't tell? You know better than that!" Janet scolded, "What brought this on?"

Sam looked around distractedly, "I found out about someone and wondered what you thought."

Janet sat for a moment, unsure of what was preying on her friend's mind. She decided to answer the question truthfully, "I believe that people should be able to be happy in their own homes, and that the military view on it is morally wrong."

The two women looked at each other for a long moment, then Sam nodded, "Thanks Janet." And she left the infirmary.

What Daniel said...

Jack was already seated at Guido's when Daniel walked in. He was freshly showered and shaved and was wearing a blue button down oxford shirt and dark blue chinos. The blue shirt set off Daniel's eyes and made Jack's mouth water. As he watched his best friend walk toward him he pondered the fact that he was willing, more than willing according to his wayward dick, to throw away almost 46 years of heterosexuality without a second thought.

Daniel's thoughts ran along a similar vein. He wasn't a stranger to same sex relationships, per se, after all, he'd spent years in the academic community. But now he was actually willing to change everything that he knew and understood about himself.

Jack stood and smiled nervously as Daniel reached the table, "You look great." He said, then winced.

Daniel chuckled softly, "Thanks, you too." He sat down and watched as Jack nervously wiped his hands on his napkin. "If you're having second thoughts..." he trailed off.

"No." Jack met Daniel's eyes squarely, "I'm absolutely sure. I'm just nervous."

They say quietly, then Daniel gave him a smile, "So, what about those Canucks?"

Jack's eyes sparkled, "Canucks? Are you crazy?" and they launched into a spirited discussion about hockey. They were well into dessert when Daniel looked up to see Sam watching them, an unhappy look on her face.

Jack noticed Daniel freeze and he turned to see what caused it. When he saw Carter he raised a challenging eyebrow and she looked back to her date. He turned back to Daniel and saw the look on his face, "Danny?"

"Maybe we shouldn't do this. For the team."

Jack sat there for a moment, his heart hurting but seeing the indecision in his friend's eyes he nodded, "If that's what you want." He said flatly.

Daniel shook his head, "Jack, it's not what I want. I think it's better for the team."

"Fine, whatever." Jack threw money onto the table and stood, the hurt in his eyes so raw that it made Daniel flinch, "See you Monday." And Jack picked up his leather jacket and strode out.

Filled with misery Daniel took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes.

"Daniel?"

He looked at Sam with unfriendly eyes, "Haven't you done enough damage? Go back to your date Sam."

Sam was floored by the outright hostility from her friend, "What did I do?"

"Sit down and let me give you a little lesson on interpersonal relationships." He snapped and she dropped into the chair that Jack had just vacated.

He took a deep breath, "It doesn't matter if Jack and I are having an affair. It's no ones business, including yours." He watched with satisfaction as she jerked back as if he'd slapped her.

"We're a team Daniel." She began before he cut her off, "And we're a damn fine one, not affected in any way by what may or may not be a relationship between Jack and myself. Take the fucking log out of your own eye before we work on the splinter that is Jack and I." He added some money to Jack's on the table and stood, "I'll see you at work." And he left.

Like a zombie Sam stood and walked back to her date. She'd found out Jack and Daniel were here and had brought a date to make Jack jealous. The whole thing had backfired and she was the one left behind, and she didn't know what to do.

What Jack and Daniel said...

Jack sat in his recliner, wanting so much to just get bombed, but knew for once that alcohol wouldn't help the pain in his heart. When had he fallen in love with his best friend? If he was honest, it had been way before Carter had put her two cents in. What if this drove Daniel away? His life without Daniel in it was simply too terrible to contemplate. The ringing of the doorbell made his heart jump and he stood and walked over to the door and opened it.

Daniel looked at Jack and shrugged, "I'm an idiot, do you forgive me?" His blue eyes wistful, not sure of his welcome.

"What about the team?"

"Screw 'em. You're more important to me." He felt like all of his future happiness was on the line, and he realized that somewhere he'd fallen in love with Jack.

Jack watched all of the color disappear from his friend's face, "you ok?"

"I, I..." Daniel stuttered his blue eyes huge behind his glasses.

Huffing a sigh Jack pulled him into the house, "For a linguist you're doing a lousy job of speaking!"

Daniel walked over and collapsed onto the couch, "I think, no, I know I'm in love with you."

Jack looked down at him, his brown eyes warm, "So, ya think Carter did us a favor by pointing this out to us?"

"What do you think?" Daniel replied and stood, sure of his footing now and stepped into Jack's personal space, so close that he could feel Jack's heat.

Jack smiled that crooked smile, his eyes darkening with lust, "I think I may feel the same about you Dannyboy."

Daniel nodded and pulled his friend in for a kiss. It started out as lips pressed against lips, then as Daniel pressed harder Jack's mouth opened and sparks absolutely flew. After a few minutes they both moved back, partly to breath, partly in surprise.

"Wow!" Jack's eyes were wide in surprise and Daniel laughed, "Let's see what other trouble we can get into, shall we?" the 'come hither' look in Daniel's eyes made Jack whimper with need.

In Jack's bedroom they undressed each other in between lust filled kisses until they were both naked. They lay and explored each other curiously, eyes asking silent permission as they touched each other so personally. "God, you're beautiful." Daniel whispered as he ran his hands over Jack's taut body.

Jack gazed at Daniel's muscular body with its thick cock that jutted out of the silky hair and swallowed, "And you look good enough to eat." He slid his callused hand around Daniel's cock and began to stroke, making Daniel gasp, "Oh Jack!"

Jack was overwhelmed by the power he had, and he decided to use it ruthlessly. He moved closer and captured Daniel's mouth while stroking his cock rapidly, tightening his hand at the base, then bringing it up to cover the head, smoothing the pre cum over it, making Daniel cry out again.

Just the sight of Daniel, naked on his bed, his own hand wrapped around his cock made his own jerk with need. This gave him an idea and he moved even closer and gripped both cocks, rubbing them tighter and it made both men moan. Just a few tight strokes later Jack roared out, "Danny!" and his hips began to jerk as come poured over his fingers. Daniel threw his head back and cried out, "Oh my god..." and his own cock began to pump out semen, the sensations of Jack's hand and the sound of his climax making Daniel dizzy. They gazed into each other's eyes as they rode out the aftershocks of their lovemaking, and the incredible feelings that they had for one another.

Jack lifted his come covered hand and eyed it curiously, then took a long slow lick that made Daniel suck in a breath, "Umm, warm."

Now Daniel was curious and brought Jack's hand to his own mouth, wrapping a tongue around a finger and tasting. He sat for a moment, "Well, it's not coffee but it's ok."

Jack chuckled, "Let me clean us up." He got up and disappeared into the bathroom. The sound of running water was heard then he came back in and wiped Daniel's flat stomach off, indulging his need to touch this amazing man that he'd fallen in love with. He threw the washcloth into the clothes basket and lay back down beside Daniel.

"Shouldn't this be more awkward?" Daniel asked, running curious fingers through Jack's chest hair, flicking the dogtags so they jingled.

"I dunno, we've seen each other covered in mud, blood, vomit. What's a little semen?"

"Jack!" Daniel laughed, "That's not what I meant! I meant us?" he gestured between the two of them.

Jack ran his fingertips over Daniel's smooth chest, down to the washboard stomach, "Is that a rhetorical question?" He twined his fingers with Daniel's and brought them up to his mouth for a kiss. "We've always been comfortable with each other. This thing is just an extension of that."

"I love you Jack."

"Love ya too Danny." And he leaned forward and captured Daniel's mouth.

What Teal'c said...

The next evening Daniel and Jack took Teal'c out to dinner at the Texas Roadhouse. Jack liked that he could throw his peanut shells onto the floor and Daniel and Teal'c liked the excellent steak. As they ate together Teal'c watched his teammate interact. He saw a warmness to their interaction but that didn't' necessarily mean anything. He decided to ask, "Major Carter informs me that she believes you are in a physical relationship with one another." He stated.

Daniel spat out his beer and Jack handed him a napkin to mop up, "Well," Jack began, resting his arms on the table, "It's like this. No, we weren't, but we talked about it and decided to give it a try."

Teal'c nodded gravely, "I understand."

Daniel had finished mopping up and he looked at Teal'c, "How do you feel about this?"

"I believe that Major Feretti sums it up best. You are a saint Daniel Jackson." Teal'c's face was blank but his lip twitched as Daniel burst into wild laughter and Jack let out an indignant yelp.

"I get no respect!" He complained.

They ate some more and Jack looked at Teal'c seriously, "If you think I'm not doing the job, I expect you to let me know."

"I do not believe you will let your personal feelings affect your judgement O'Neill."

"At least no more so than usual." Daniel added with a snort.

"Indeed." Teal'c inclined his head and Jack huffed a sigh.

"Sam's upset." Daniel said softly.

A raised eyebrow from their Jaffa friend, "Major Carter assumed that sometime in the future that O'Neill and she would be together."

Jack shook his head, "I'll always care for Carter, but she kept telling me no. I was willing to break the rules, she wasn't. Now she's dating and then there's Danny and I. There's just no chance."

"You need to inform Major Carter of this."

"I will."

"We will." Daniel chimed.

"Then it will be no problem." Teal'c said.

The battle had been fierce, but the losses were fiercer. Jack had been wounded, Airman Wells too, but Janet had paid the ultimate sacrifice and was taken from them all.

What Sam said...

"Major Carter, I would like you to give the eulogy for Dr. Frasier."

Sam nodded, her eyes tearing up, "I'll miss her."

She walked into the infirmary, the pain of Janet's loss hitting her almost physically so that she had to pause in the doorway. She heard Jack complaining and walked into the curtained room where he was pulling on his shirt.

"Sir, heard you were up and around." She said.

"Yeah," he winced as the shirt rubbed the wound, "A little tender but they said that Daniel could take me home."

"We're lucky that staff blast hit you where it did. The new vest inserts work well."

Jack grunted, "Didn't help Frasier much."

Sam sucked in a breath, "No."

He looked down, "How's Cassie?"

"She's a strong kid. She'll survive." Sam said softly.

"Yeah, you speaking at the memorial?"

"Yes Sir. I just wanted to say.." she sucked in a breath, "I'm glad that you're ok." Her eyes sheened with tears.

"C'mere." Jack pulled her into a hug and felt her dissolve into sobs.

Daniel walked in and met Jack's eyes over her head. They looked at each other for a long moment before Daniel went over to check on Airman Wells.

Jack sent Sam off and sucked in a shaky breath. Immediately Daniel was beside him, his eyes worried, wanting to reassure himself that Jack really was ok but unable to touch.

"Danny, take me home." He said and Daniel nodded, "Let's go."

What Jack and Danny said...

Jack watched Daniel closely as they walked into the house. He could see the younger man's fraying control and was about to say something when Daniel turned and walked into his arms, wrapping his long arms around his waist and just held on.

"Hey, I'm ok." Jack whispered, running a soothing hand up and down the trembling man's back.

"I saw you lying there and I thought..." his voice choked and he took an unsteady breath, "then I tried to help Wells and then Janet was just gone!"

"I know." Jack looked up at the ceiling, willing the tears not to fall from his own eyes. A muffled sob from his lover broke him and they both stood in his living room and cried. Cried for the loss of Janet, cried for Cassie and the loss of her mother, and cried for themselves and how it was all nearly taken away.

"I love you Jack and I'm not giving you up. Not now. Not ever." Daniel pulled back, "Make love to me Jack. All of the way."

Jack looked into Daniel's eyes, his breath catching at what he'd said. They had agreed to wait until they were ready, neither of them pushing though both of them were curious. Their mouths met, greedily kissing each other, proof of the fact that they were alive.

Jack stepped back and gently tugged Daniel to the bedroom. He had him stand by the bed and kissed him again, deep and slow. Daniel immediately opened up to him, loving the feelings that kissing Jack engendered, the strong love that he had for the other man.

"Let me have the shirt Danny." Jack whispered and Daniel raised his arms so Jack could pull it over his head. "You are so gorgeous." Jack bent and nipped Daniel's shoulder, making him hiss in a breath. "Shit."

Daniel felt Jack's mouth move lower and begin to torment his nipples, first licking them until they were hardened peaks, then blowing cool air on them, making him shiver and moan. Then he ran his teeth gently over them and Daniel cried out, the arousal making him feel desperately needy. "Please." He begged.

"Patience, I love the noises you make." Jack said huskily. He dipped his hands into the unbuttoned waist band of Daniel's jeans, then looked up, "Commando?" he arched an eyebrow over lust filled brown eyes.

"Forgot underwear." Daniel grunted out as Jack took hold of his cock and smoothly stroked it. The pants were pushed down and Daniel stepped out of them, then Jack gently pushed him back on the bed, "Lay down Danny and jerk yourself off while I undress."

Daniel smiled slowly and wrapped his fist around his erection and stroked. Jack was momentarily mesmerized, "That is so fucking hot." Jack said, then desperately stripped off his clothes, leaving them on the floor. He crawled onto the bed and as Daniel moved on his downstroke, he wrapped his tongue over the head of his cock, running his tongue through the slit to taste the precum gathered there.

Daniel threw back his head and cried out, "Oh Jack! Jaaaaaaccck." Jack gently bent Daniel's legs up so that he was exposed, the hard leaking cock, the lightly furred balls, the tight asshole that gave Jack all sorts of ideas. He braced himself on Daniel's thighs and ran his tongue up the perineum, then laved Daniel's balls, the younger man writhing and moaning. Pulling back he watched with a smug smile at the man he was deconstructing in his bed, tearing away his control with just his touch. He knelt between Daniel's legs and slicked his fingers with lube, then bent down to fasten his mouth around Daniel's cock as he gently slid the tip of his finger into Daniel's hole.

"Oh god!" Daniel's body arched and Jack looked up anxiously, "Danny?"

"'s good. More." He slurred, unable to believe the pain/pleasure that was flooding his body. Daniel could feel the stretching continue and he moaned, thrusting against the fingers that were invading him, "Jack, Jack, Jack." He repeated it like a mantra, then he loudly cried out, "WHAT was that?!"

"That was your prostate." Jack rubbed it again and Daniel's cock jerked. "Jack, oh yeah...oh man! Please!"

"Ok, ok." Jack quickly lubed himself up and placed his cock against Daniel's anus and pushed, breaching the ring of muscle and groaning loudly, "You're so tight, soooo tight." He gasped.

Daniel lifted his legs higher, placing his hands underneath his knees and Jack slid in even more, causing both men to gasp. Jack froze and he locked gazes with Daniel, "You ok?"

A slow smile crossed his face, "I'm so ok, move now?"

Jack slowly pulled back, sweat beading his face, "I love you Danny." And he thrust back in, head back at the incredible pleasure. He could feel Daniel trembling, keening his pleasure and he thrust again, and again, until Daniel gasped, "Jack, coming!" and his cock was pulsing it's load all over his stomach.

The sensation of Daniel coming made Jack roar and come deeply inside of his friend, hips jerking as wave after wave of pleasure held him in it's grasp. He slowly came back to himself as he felt Daniel's legs drop to the mattress, "You ok?" he croaked, his throat sore from yelling.

Daniel opened his eyes, "That was fucking amazing."

Jack smiled and as gently as he could he pulled out, then laid down beside his lover, cradling him closely in his arms. "I have no words for it. I just know that you're my heart." He murmured quietly. Listening to Jack's heartbeat Daniel smiled, "And you're mine. You're alive. That's all that matters to me."

The stressful events of the day and the lovemaking caught up with them and they slid into sleep, both of them sleeping solidly until Jack's internal alarm work him at 0545. He could feel Daniel spooned up behind him and he smiled, pushing back and nudging his archeologist. He felt a gentle kiss on the back of his neck and a slightly whining, "Too early Jack."

"Sorry, but we need to get up and head to the mountain. Memorial service, remember?" Jack replied quietly. '

"Fuck." Daniel breathed. He wrapped his arms around Jack, feeling the other man snug his own arms over his as they lay taking comfort from each other.

What Sam said...

Jack and Teal'c were on one side of the podium, Daniel, General Hammond and Sgt. Walter Davis were on the other as Sam moved forward to speak.

"Janet Fraiser was an extraordinary person. She was kind and funny and talented. Above all, she was courageous. Try as I might I could not find the words to honor her, to do justice to her life. Thankfully I got some help." She turned her head to smile at Teal'c, "While words alone may not be enough, there are some names that might do. We often talk about those that give their lives in the service of their country, and while Janet Fraiser did just that. That's not what her life was about. The following are the names of the men and women who did not die in service, but who are in fact alive today because of Janet."

Major Samantha Carter
Doctor Daniel Jackson
Colonel Jack O'Neill
Teal'c
Sergeant Connie Smith
Major Ian Hewles
Senior Airman Simon Wells.

Daniel got teary eyed and forced himself to stay focused, forced himself to remember that Jack was ok, that they still had each other. He glanced over at Sam, 'Did they still have her?'

It was much later when Daniel stopped by Sam's office, "hey." He said quietly.

Sam looked up, her eyes still red rimmed from weeping, "Hey Daniel."

He looked down for second, then back at her, "Um, I know the funeral is tomorrow, but Jack and I were wondering if you wanted to come over for dinner tonight. You know, to talk." Daniel smiled hesitantly, "Jack's ordering steak dinners from O'Malley's."

She looked at him for a long moment, "What time, and should I bring beer?"

Daniel grinned, "7 and 'duh?'." And she laughed, "Ok, see you guys at 1900." "Sam, Sam, Sam. I'm a civilian!" He shook his head in pity. Sam laughed and shooed him out of her office.

What Jack and Daniel said...

Daniel was nervously heading to the window every five minutes until Jack stepped into his path and wrapped him in a hug. "Danny." He murmured, lips brushing the younger man's cheek. "Carter will be here. Relax."

Daniel wrapped his arms around Jack and kissed him, their lips meeting and opening, tongues tangling as they tasted each other.

Sam stepped onto the porch and could see through the window. She watched as the men passionately embraced, the kiss between them just as passionate, then the gentle nuzzling at the end. She straightened her shoulders and knocked on the door.

Jack's head came up, "See? I'm the Colonel and I'm always right."

Daniel chuckled and opened the door, "Hey Sam!"

"Hey Daniel, Sir." She handed the beer to Jack before hugging Daniel.

Jack smiled and went into the kitchen to place the beer in the fridge, then came out and gestured to the living room, "Go take a load off, dinner will be ready soon." Sam sat down on the couch and Daniel brought her a plate of cheeses, Italian prosciutto, stuffed mushrooms and olives. "Oh, I love antipasto."

"I remember." Daniel smiled, then looked up when Jack walked into the room, their eyes meeting.

"So, we need to talk, Carter." Jack said, flopping down beside Daniel. Daniel automatically rested his hand on Jack's leg and Jack's hand covered it.

Sam looked down, "I saw you through the window."

Daniel sighed, "We're together now."

"And we have you to thank for it." Jack quipped.

"What?" Sam gasped.

Daniel punched Jack in the arm, making him yelp and Sam had to smile. Daniel looked seriously at Sam, "It's not like that exactly. What Jack means," he glared at his lover who shrugged innocently, "Is that we really weren't together until you pointed it out."

"That's what I said!" Jack pouted.

Sam looked between them, "Really?"

Both men nodded, "Really, truly." Jack said. "We apparently were blind." He shot a smile at Daniel, who returned with obvious love.

"You mean, you weren't together. And my pointing it out to you, made you, well, gay?"

Both men laughed, Daniel until tears ran down his face. "Oh god Sam." He took off his glasses and wiped his eyes. Jack rubbed his back absently and Sam was suddenly struck. They acted the way they had always acted.

"Can I ask why?" She asked, wondering if she really wanted to know.

Jack sat back and took Daniel's hand, absently playing with the long fingers. "I was tremendously attracted to you Carter. I asked you, how many times, to go fishing with me? Alone, fishing with me?"

Sam sighed, "It was a lot Sir." Honesty was a painful business.

"No Sirs, just me." He replied quietly.

Looking back she sighed, "I wasn't ready."

Daniel shook his head, "You didn't want to give up your job and I understand perfectly."

Jack nodded, "If Danny and I are found out, well, the rules are different. I'd retire and Danny's a civilian."

Head swiveling quickly, Daniel looked at his lover, "You'd retire? For me?"

"In a heartbeat Dannyboy." The oven timer buzzed and with a quick pat Jack rose and walked into the kitchen.

"We didn't mean to hurt you." Daniel looked over to where Jack was taking out the baked lasagna, "But after what happened to Janet, we realized that we need each other more than ever. Life is just too unpredictable."

His eyes met hers and she nodded slowly, "I'm sorry that I took it so badly. I really didn't see how it was between the two of you and was worried how it was going to effect us as a team." 'And me', she thought to herself.

Jack moved back into the living room and sat beside Daniel, his knee pressed against him, just taking comfort in his presence, "So we ok? Because I gotta tell ya, I'm starved."

Sam laughed, "We're ok."

-How it ends...What Daniel and Jack said to each other

On the roof Jack leaned back against Daniel as they watched the stars. "Danny?"

"Mm."

"I'm glad that Carter said something."

Daniel chuckled quietly, "Me too. Though we'd have figured it out eventually."

Jack snorted.

"Ok, maybe later than sooner."

"I'm glad that it was sooner. Love you Danny." Strong arms squeezed tightly and lips brushed his hair.

"Love you too."
