Summary: Daniel makes a sweet gesture, and the boyz Dance
It's a beautiful night, the bright full moon casting shadows across the ground, the stars like a blanket over head, shining in the thick velvety sky, and Daniel, my sweet Daniel, lying beside me lightly snoozing after the large picnic we just consumed.
It was a very romantic gesture on his part, he even brought along my mini telescope so we could look up at the stars, he always shows an interest in my hobbies, and interests, I really should show more of an interest in his.
He picked the perfect spot, the lush green grass makes for a very comfortable place to lie down, and the lake, with the moonlight shining over it is amazing.
Part of me wants to let him sleep, he looks so at peace, so amazingly beautiful, and free of all life's worries, he rarely looks like this, so carefree I mean, he always looks beautiful, but carefree is rare.
"Danny, sweetheart" I whisper shaking him lightly, part of me may have wanted to let him sleep, but another part of me has a better idea and for once it is a part of me that's above the waist.
"Hmmmm. Hey," he mummers sleepily. "Sorry must have fallen asleep," he adds sitting up, his face flushing ever so slightly as he rubs the sleep out of his eyes.
"It's ok, wouldn't have woken you but its just so nice out here, all alone, no one watching, I was kinda hoping maybe you might wanna em... well..." Daniel is looking at me smiling, probably thinks he knows what I am going to say, but he is all wrong, although I wouldn't say no to that either.
"I'd love you dance with you Jack" he tells me, and I know my jaw just dropped, gotta get Doc to do an ESP check on that guy when we get back.
"Kay" I say, and reach over to turn on the small CD player he brought with him, glad that he chose the music, Opera as much as I love it, is not good for a romantic up close and personal dance.
Love the feeling of his arms around me as the music starts of.
I never had no one,
That I could count on,
I've been let down so many times.
I was tired of hurtin',
So tired of searchin',
Till you walked into my life.
No more of that for either of us now, we have each other always, pity it took us so long to figure it out.
It was a feelin', I'd never known,
And for the first time, I didn't feel alone.
You're more than a lover,
There could never be another,
To make me feel the way you do.
Oh, we just get closer,
I fall in love all over,
Every time I look at you.
And ain't that the truth, every time I look at Danny I fall head over heels all over again, he is just so dam beautiful, and smart, and funny, and kind, and well you get the point, he is wonderful, and I love him, every time I see him.
I don't know where I'd be,
Without you here with me,
Life with you makes perfect sense,
You're my best friend,
You're my best friend.
I know exactly where I would be without Daniel. Dead. Along with about 5000 other innocent people. I really must thank him for saving me back there, I don't think he'll ever know how much that one act of courage on his part changed me and made me the man I am today.
Oh yeah, You stand by me,
And you believe in me,
Like nobody ever has.
When my world goes crazy,
You're right there to save me,
You make me see how much I have.
On Abydos the first time, after losing Charlie, I was so sure I had nothing worth living for, but Daniel he proved me wrong, gave me a reason to live again, believed in me when even I stopped believing in me.
And I still tremble when we touch,
And oh the look in your eyes,
When we make love.
That look, sends me straight to heaven, the way when we make love he just kinda smiles at me, its so sweet, and pure and honest, it never fails to make me shed a tear, even after the year we have been together.
You're more than a lover,
There could never be another,
To make me feel the way you do.
Oh, we just get closer,
I fall in love all over,
Every time I look at you.
I don't know where I'd be,
Without you here with me,
Life with you makes perfect sense
You're my best friend,
You're my best friend.
More than a lover, Daniel is definitely more, infinitely more, he is my world, my best friend, and he makes everything else in my world fit perfectly.
You're more than a lover,
There could never be another,
To make me feel the way you do.
Oh, we just get closer,
I fall in love all over,
Every time I look at you.
I don't know where I'd be,
Without you here with me,
Life with you makes perfect sense,
You're my best friend,
You're my best friend.
You're my best friend.
I feel the tears, not of sadness, but happiness, one year ago Daniel and I kissed for the first time, and now one year later I can honestly say no time in my life has ever been more wonderful, not since Charlie, and not before Charlie.
Only Daniel could ever make me love this much, feel this much, his is the most important thing in my world.
"Danny, I love you," I whisper.
"I know Jack, love you too" Daniel replies, sighing, I know that sigh, the one that means 'I love you and I want to tell the world but can't because it would hurt you'.
"Daniel, I'm gonna retire" I tell him, well that shocked him.
"What?" his asks me surprised.
"I love you so much Daniel, and I don't want to have to keep hiding it," I tell him, and I don't, I hate having to get up an hour early in the morning so Daniel has time to go back to his place and change, that is on the mornings he is there, because he can't stay over often in case someone gets suspicious and starts hoking.
"But Jack you love your job," Daniel tells me.
"Love you more" I tell him, and smile, kissing him lightly.
"Jack think about this please" Daniel pleads.
"Thought about it, but if it makes you feel any better I'll give it some more thought before I tell the General, still don't think I'll change my mind thought."
He nods, "Kay," he replies, and I lean in for another kiss, we may have to hide at home, but this is not home, and there is no one else around for at least three miles.
"Danny, how'd fancy going for a dip?" I ask him, grinning what I hope is evilly, before making a dash for the water, stripping out of my clothes as I go, "A skinny dip," I call back over my shoulder. I just hope the water isn't too cold.
