Disclaimer: All the usuals apply. I don't own any part of Stargate, other than the numerous episodes I've taped. I'm not getting any money from this, yadda yadda yadda, and I'm not trying to rip anybody off.
AN: I guess you could just call this first chapter a little collection of some of my favorite SamCam moments brought together and made into a story, but I hope you enjoy it anyway. Okay, so I originally meant this to be a stand-alone thing, but since you all asked so nicely I decided to continue it into an actual story with actual plot and all that.
Chapter One: The Little Things
To Cameron Mitchell, it was the little things about Sam Carter that made her so attractive. Things like her beautiful smile and the little comments she made just for him.
He remembered the first time she had really smiled at him, not long after he'd first met her, during the situation with Khalek. She and Daniel had been standing by a monitor studying the man's brain functions. Sam had been explaining how sixty-eight percent of Khalek's brain was functioning at a higher-than-normal level as compared to a normal human's five to ten percent. Cameron had made the comment, "Me being five, you being ten," and she had given him that special grin that melted his heart. That was when he had first recognized his true feelings for her.
And then there was the time just before they'd gone to Vagonbrei, when Daniel had come up to the two of them plus Vala and Teal'c spouting some Ancient gobbledygook and she had turned to him with the quip, "And you say I'm hard to understand." They'd shared a private laugh over that one. Sure, he had teased Sam about using her technical jargon on more than one occasion, but she knew it was just that, teasing.
The biggest thing, though, had been when the team had gone to Galor and Cameron had had the false memory of killing Dr. Reya Varrick implanted in his mind. He had eventually been forced to relive the memory of accidentally destroying that convoy of refugees back in Iraq several times. Altogether it had been a very painful experience, but Sam had been with him every step of the way, always there when he was going through the memories, always asking if he was all right. That was when he had known she truly cared about him, even if it was just as a friend.
So far their relationship hadn't gone any farther than that. Cameron desperately wanted to ask Sam how she really felt about him, but he was just as afraid that she wouldn't share his feelings. And so he said nothing.
For the moment.
AN: So, what did you think? (is not begging for reviews)
