You said fish don't bite!

A/N: I was watching the episode of Terra Nova where Taylor and Shannon had gone fishing and when Shannon asked Taylor when he had started this particular hobby, Taylor had replied something to the words of 'Fish were the only thing that did not try to eat me' and I thought what if he was wrong, hence this little story.
Shannon lay on his stomach, brooding and trying not to squirm as Taylor stitched up the bite marks in his rump, they had spent the morning fishing, an event that they did as much as they could with their lives as busy as they were.
With the loss of the portal back to the future alternate timeline that their people had come from, that time was even more precious now as their attempts at living in the past and surviving now without new colonists or supplies to help caused more problems and headaches.
So whenever they could get away and fish it was a break that both men enjoyed or had until today, today the local fish life had decided to bite back.
"Ouch! Watch it will you!"
Shannon yelled when Taylor accidently stabbed him a little too sharply with the needle he was using to stitch him back up, it was embarrassing enough that it had needed to be stitched but it would have been more embarrassing if they had waited to go back to base for it to have been done, he could just imagine the smirks and humour from others back at the colony if they found out about this.
Oh yes, he could just imagine the fish jokes he would end up getting if anyone else knew that a fish, a simple safe looking fish had bitten him on the ass!
"Well, we could leave this and wait till we got back to the settlement for your wife or some other member of the colonies medical team to sew your ass back together?" Taylor sniggered.
Laying on his stomach, Shannon grumbled under his breath at Taylor's words, Taylor grinned behind him, almost unable to keep from laughing as it was he had a big smile on his face.
"What was that Shannon, I didn't quite hear that?" he asked.
Shannon shifted under his care and moved his head slightly so that the commander could hear him mutter.
"No it is fine, you can do it. Just try not to stab me again!"
Taylor chuckled as he resumed his task.
