For a one word prompt someone threw at me: Fireplace. Short ditty-drabblesque...Daniel and Vala, Surprise!

Head thumping with a massive hangover, Jack O'Neill, groaning and stumbling, made it to the small dark kitchen of his cabin and flipped on the light.
A shirtless Daniel jumped back eyes squinting to mere slits though looking no less like the proverbial cat. His lovely canary, Vala, pulled down the hem of her T-shirt with one hand and wiped the back of her other hand across her lips before raising her arm to block the light.
Jack went to the cabinet, pulled a glass out, filled it with water, set it on the counter, found the aspirin, opened the bottle and took out a few, chunked them in his mouth, picked up the water, drank and slammed the glass on the counter top, turned around, and flipped the light off as he left the room.
His voice trailed back through the darkness. "Daniel, when I asked you earlier to lay a fire for tomorrow, I meant in the fireplace. Nite."
