A/N: This is supposed to take place after Ark of Truth, so obviously there are spoilers for all of season ten.
Disclaimer: i own nothing, literally. lol. But if i could own stargate, i'd make sure Jack and Sam finally get together (for real) on screen!
Day One
The Ori were gone. Finally. It had taken them a long time, and they had lost a few good men, but it was done. Now they were back on earth and for the first time in a while, the Air Force was giving them the week off.
Sam was headed to D.C. on "business", but Daniel knew it was probably to see the head of the Department of Homeworld Security.
Mitchell was going back to his hometown to visit his family and his new girlfriend, Amy.
Teal'c was off visiting his son and daughter-in-law.
And then there was Vala. She had no one to visit, no where to go. So, Daniel had taken pity on her, and had invited her to stay with him in his apartment. At least it was a chance for her to get off the base, and he did have a spare room. He still wasn't sure if this was his best decision, but she had promised to behave herself, and if he hadn't invited her, she probably would have found a way to come annoy somehow…
So, he would be spending a week with Vala…
Vala stood there, surrounded by six bags. Six! The idea baffled Daniel.
"Vala, how could you possibly need that much stuff for a week long stay?"
"Well, Darling, I have to be prepared for anything." She replied, matter-of-factly.
Daniel merely grumbled to himself as he loaded up the bags into his black SUV.
The drive had been quick, and after about three trips, all of Vala's things had been taken to her room. She marveled at all the "treasures" Daniel kept in his apartment. Though she was far past stealing any of them, she did evaluate some of them to be worth quite a lot.
Daniel showed her to her room, and then gave her a tour. He showed her the kitchen and the living room, and then showed her that there was a bathroom for her right across the hall from her room, and then finished by showing her his room (though that portion of the tour was more of a glimpse than anything else).
They ate dinner and then Vala went and unpacked.
After dinner, Daniel took a shower, got ready for bed, and then started to fall asleep with his TV on.
"Daniel?" Vala asked as she poked her head in. She saw him sleeping and immediately stepped quietly. Little did she know that Daniel wasn't completely asleep. At the moment, he was thinking, 'Maybe if I pretend to be asleep, she'll just go away.'
Vala crept over to Daniel's TV and turned it off, then over to him. She sat down on his bed and ghosted her hand down his cheek. She then kissed his forehead and silently crept back out of the room.
Daniel laid there, now more awake than ever. 'She kissed me… but not lustily… it was a soft, tender kiss… and it wasn't even on my lips… plus, she didn't even try anything… could she possibly have changed?' He fell asleep contemplating the question.
A/N: the next chapter is longer... and it gets even fluffier!! pleas R and R if you like :)
