Title: Simplicity
Genre: Stargate SG-1
Rating: pg 13?
Warnings: Slashyness all around
Summary: Jack likes things in black and white; Daniel's thinking in color.
Jack think's simplicity is beauty.
Fishing, watching the stars, listening to Carter and Teal'c argue about jello. Simple things. It has nothing to do with easily getting bored, nothing about not understanding.
Beauty is simple things, like listening to Daniel talk, to Daniel rant, to Daniel breath, because he's here, he's alive, and if Jack has his way, he will be for awhile.
It was hell on earth without Daniel; Jonas was trying to hard to be him, and Jack hated that, because no one could be Daniel, no one could ever be Daniel. Jonas was a constant reminder that Daniel was gone. Jonas WAS part of the reason Daniel was gone. Jack would have traded Jonas for Daniel any day; because as eager and wanting Jonas had been, he could never compare to Daniel.
---------------------------
Everything concerning Daniel is black and white to Jack; he knows whats best for his friend, because no one else could ever.Daniel, though, think's beauty is in living colour.
Beauty is an artifact being figured out, a flower growing in a dull area, learning a new language or a new culture. Beauty is Jack, trying his hardest to listen, try his best to keep up with all the technicals in whatever Daniel's explaining. Beauty is Jack's silver hair, Jack's brown eyes, his personality which glows all the colours of the rainbow.
It's watching Jack fish, listening to him go off about hockey, feeling him get excited. It's knowing Jack will be there for him, when everyone else has given up. It's Jack's unwavering love for him.
It's everything they stand for, and everything they will be.
