Title: Infatuation

Author: Angel Leviathan

Disclaimer: SG-1 isn't mine.

Spoilers: Anything, everything.

Season: 5

Notes: Back from SG-7 and I think my SG-1 muse has returned! Finally! So I decided to finally write this. Possibly because the line "I'm addicted to you" from 'Toxic' (even though I dislike the singer) has been going round in my head for the past week too. May be somewhat random, but hope you enjoy all the same.

"So, Daniel's having fun with the wonderful new alien language, Teal'c is doing his 'defending the area' routine and you're once again ecstatic over this new technology, right Carter?"

Sam looked up at him, blinking to try avoiding the glare of the sun, "Yes, Sir. Why?"

"Just checking it's a normal day, that's all," Jack replied with a half grin.

"….'Loved one',….." Daniel muttered under his breath, half sitting several feet away and staring intently at a lone section of rock.

"I know I am, Daniel, but you getting anywhere with that translation?" Jack quipped.

"Very funny," the archaeologist replied, "That's all I have so far. Either that or 'love you'," he looked back at Jack, "Make comments about that and I'll leave this all to you…" he mock threatened.

"Or you can do this for me, Sir," Sam joined in, "Just don't get electrocuted."

"Alright, that's enough from you two," Jack tried his 'angry glare' but couldn't stop from issuing a short laugh, "Any further comments will be taken offensively!"

"Had you not already, O'Neill?" Teal'c looked back at the group.

He sighed, "Why do I put up with you guys?"

Sam grinned and looked back down at the device she was fiddling with, "Because you love us really, Sir?"

Jack debated this for a few seconds, then nodded, "That would have to be it, Major," he answered drolly.

"…..I think I'm gonna cry,….." Daniel sniffed sarcastically.

"I said enough already!"

"Ow!" Sam jumped and quickly drew her hands away from the circular device in front of her, frowning at it.

"Carter?" Jack questioned.

"…..I don't know, Sir," she said slowly. The device in question was now humming in a curious pitch, several lights now flickering. Reaching her hands back toward it, she looped her right hand underneath it to see if she could disconnect anything.

"Maybe you shouldn't be doing that."

"Its okay, I'm only-" she didn't get to finish as she was enveloped in a sapphire light, a surge of energy appearing to pass through her, before the device fell silent, along with Sam, who fell to the floor without a word.

"Shit!" Jack swore, dropping to the ground and rolling Sam from her front onto her back, "Carter?" he checked for her pulse, "Carter? Come on, wake up, snap out of it!" he tried.

"O'Neill?"

"Jack? Is she breathing?" Daniel stood behind him, worried.

"…..Yeah, heartbeat's playing up though."

"Should we not return to the Stargate to call for assistance?" Teal'c proposed.

"Good plan," Jack mumbled, still staring down at the still form of Sam, concerned, "I wish she'd stop messing with this kind of stuff!" he exclaimed.

Sam chose that moment to mutter a curse and opened her eyes to slits, "…..Its good to know you guys don't talk about me behind my back."

"Carter! Don't scare me- us, like that!" Jack snapped, his relief taking the form of false anger.

She opened her eyes fully and stared up at him, her iris' pulsing a lighter blue for an instant, "…..Sorry," she coughed.

Jack blinked, a little taken aback at the sudden change in her eyes, "Carter?"

"Sir?"

"Teal'c?" he glanced behind him.

"O'Neill?"

"Sense anything?"

Teal'c frowned more than usual, as if the Colonel were mad, "I do not sense anything out of the ordinary, O'Neill….."

"Let's head back," Daniel stated, "We can always come back, we want to make sure you're okay, Sam."

"I only got electrocuted," she countered.

"'Only got electrocuted'," Jack shook his head, "Think you can make it back to the 'Gate?"

"Yes, Sir," she nodded and stood up, noticing the sudden attention they were all paying to her, "Guys, its nice to have your undying affection, but I'm fine, really."

"We're still heading back," Jack said firmly.

"Can we take it with us?" she pointed to the device.

"Its anchored to the ground, Carter!"

"…..Yes, Sir."

"Come on, if we head back now we might just catch The Simpsons. And that documentary you wanted to pick apart," Jack proposed.

"Each to his or her own," Daniel said wryly, taking the lead.

"I'm sure Doctor Frasier will be pleased to see us," Teal'c commented.

"Yeah," Jack muttered, "The amount of time we spend in her Infirmary, we should be paying her rent."

-

"No burns? No headache? No blurry vision?" Janet questioned, firing symptoms at Sam, attempting to diagnose how the device had affected her, if at all, "Anything?" she continued, exasperated.

"Nothing," Sam shook her head, "Not even a scratch."

"The Colonel says you were electrocuted and fell unconscious!"

"Only for a couple of minutes. And I remember everything before and after."

"And you don't feel anything different?" Janet pressed.

"I'm tired. But then, I'm always tired at some point or another," Sam replied with a yawn.

"Are you lying to get out of here, Sam?"

"No!"

"You've all tried it at some point….."

"Honestly, Janet, I feel fine. Strange though it is, I feel perfectly normal," Sam assured her.

"Well you're not leaving this base tonight in-case you don't feel so good later, okay?"

"Yes, Ma'am," she quipped.

"You're all in one of those moods aren't you?" Janet laughed, "Go on then, get out of here, go eat or whatever you want to do!"

"Thanks Janet," Sam hopped down off the bed and hugged her friend briefly, before swiftly vanishing from the Infirmary.

"I swear they spend too much time together….."

-

Instead of going to the commissary to eat, hungry as she was, she thought she'd better go see the Colonel and apologise for 'messing around' with the strange device and assure him that she was okay, despite what they all thought. Sam knocked gently on the door to his office, surprised that he was actually in there, rather than hiding from work somewhere, "Sir?"

"The Doc let you go that quick?" Jack narrowed his eyes as she shut the door behind her.

"She can't find anything abnormal 'yet' and I feel fine," she shrugged.

"You were electrocuted!"

"I've been through worse," she smiled.

"Well we're not going back, or anywhere for that matter, until we're all sure you're okay," Jack stated, stacking the papers on his desk with distaste.

"Yes, Sir….." Sam approached him slowly, a half smile still on her face.

He frowned, "Carter?"

"…..Whatever you say," she strode around the desk and ran a finger along his jaw-line.

Jack's eyes widened, "What's going on?"

"Nothing….." she lowered her lips to his and kissed him thoroughly.

Reciprocating for a second, he stopped himself and tried to push her away, "Carter!?"

She was still millimetres from him, practically on top of him, "…..Don't tell me you don't want this….." she whispered, her arms around his neck, attempting to kiss him again.

Jack actually fell out of his chair, pulling her down with him, staring as she tightened her grip on him and smiled innocently…

"Colonel?" a voice at the door made him jump, but Sam didn't appear to notice anything!

She kissed him again, more passionately, as if she'd never stop, which he wouldn't be complaining about if it wasn't so sudden. Still trying to prise her off him, the door opened to reveal Janet in the doorway, who took a step back at what she could see behind the desk, brown eyes wide.

"Sam!? Colonel!? Anybody care to tell me what's going on here?"

Sam fell limp against him for a second, before pushing herself up off the floor, staring down at Jack, "…..Oh my God," she uttered, "What's going on?"

"I was hoping you could answer that!" Janet exclaimed.

She sat up, catching sight of her friend, "Janet?"

"Sam?"

"Doc?"

"Colonel?"

"Sir?"

"Carter?"

"Anybody know what's going on here?" Jack asked, wanting an answer from either of the women present.

"What just happened?" Sam held a hand to her head, "Why," she blushed, "are we on the floor?"
