Poker night

Spoliers: Sunday

Pairings: Sparky

Note: This is kind of a tag/ AU to Sunday. I've not seen it yet as it's not aired but I had the idea that John might subtley react to Elizabeth's kiss with Mike and Teyla would see.

Disclaimer: Their not mine!

"And then he just kissed me right in front of everyone!" there was general laughter around the table.

"You should have seen John's face!" added Teyla

"I'm never going to live this down am I?" Elizabeth asked.

"Not if we can help it" laughed Katie, "now deal already"

"Ok, ok, who's in?"

Some time later the girl's poker night was in full swing although the cards had now been forgotten in favour of discussion about the latest movies brought back from Earth. Elizabeth and Teyla were busy fixing the next cocktail jug.

"What did you mean about what you said earlier?" asked Elizabeth trying to sound casual.

Knowing full well what she was referring to Teyla asked "When?"

"John's face" prompted Elizabeth

"I knew it!" exclaimed Teyla

"What?"

"You have been desperate to ask since I let that slip out. No wonder you kept loosing at poker after that"

"I don't know what you're getting at" she replied, "I'm only asking because he's been acting weird lately"

"Really? So it has nothing to do with the fact you wish it was John kissing you in front of everyone?"

"Teyla that's outrageous!"

"Fine, if you wish to know about John's reaction I will tell you on the condition that you admit that you would rather it had been him."

In the most unconvincing and dull voice she could muster Elizabeth recited "I wish it had been John kissing me. Are you happy now?" Teyla couldn't help but notice the pink tinge that appeared on her cheeks.

"He was jealous, and looked pretty angry too."

"Really?"

"Yes Elizabeth, really. You know full well he would react. You just wanted to hear me say it."

"I don't know what you're talking about Telya"

"It is the same reason you had to ask. How much longer are you going to deny that you have feelings for him? When are you going to do something about it?"

Elizabeth felt cornered but knew that her friend was right. At least she could trust Teyla not to say anything.

"It's no more appropriate for me to kiss John than Mike; he's still under my command"

"But you're not in the military. From what I hear there's nothing preventing it"

"It just wouldn't feel right"

"I think you should discuss it with John"

"Thank you Teyla for your support but I just don't think I'm ready for that yet"

With a smile Teyla squeezed her arm gently, "Alright. Let's get these drinks back to the party"

The end. Or is it? I'm half tempted to get Lizzie drunk and carry on the story hehe.
