Snuggle Fic
Major Samantha Carter ran her fingers through her hair with an exasperated sigh, she was getting nowhere. The device they'd brought back from the planet with them simply wouldn't open. She was going to have to wait for Jonas to translate the instructions that the indigenous people had sent with it.
"I thought I ordered you home Carter," barked Colonel Jack O'Neill, leaning against the doorway to her lab. Jack had started ordering Sam home not long after she had joined SG1. Sam couldn't disobey a direct order from a superior officer but Jack knew it was the one order Sam would go out of her way to find loopholes in.
"I'm going but…" started Sam but was cut off before she could finish.
"But, go home. You'll think better after you've had some sleep,"
Sam stood up with a yawn and switched off the various machines she had attached to the device, including her laptop. Jack gave her a small smile as she walked towards him. The walking didn't last long as Sam tripped over a stool and stumbled in Jack's general direction. His arms shot out and caught Sam, pulling her to his chest. One hand gripped her elbow whilst the other held onto her hip. At first Sam stiffened at his touch but as his grip became more familiar she softened and leaned into him, burying her face in his neck. One of Jack's eyebrows rose up in surprise but he began to rub Sam's back regardless. One hand went in a slow circular motion across her back whilst the other arm slid around her waist.
"Urm, Carter?" mumbled Jack, feeling as though he should say something to stop this but not really wanting to at all. Sam nuzzled Jack's neck before speaking.
"Let me hold you, just this once," she mumbled, slipping her arms around him. Jack's knees were still aching from their last mission, he really needed to be sitting down so he steered Sam towards a chair and sat down, pulling her onto his lap. Sam clung to Jack for what seemed like an eternity but eventually her hold loosened. She sat up straight, still on Jack's lap, and looked him in the eye. "Thank you,"
"Yeah sure you betcha," murmured Jack, unable to tear his eyes away from Sam's gaze. Sam bowed her head and pressed one soft, sweet kiss to his lips.
"Goodnight Sir," said Sam, getting off Jack and leaving the lab. The corners of Jack's mouth twitched up into a smile, sometimes Sam disobeying orders was even better than her following them.
