-1A SGC Love Affair
Note: This is supposed to be a Daniel/Janet fic, I hope I do good! Hail to the first fic!
He was late. He was not one to be late normally but he couldn't help it today. Maybe he could have, but it didn't matter. As long as no one got snippy. And why would they? Nothing ever made them become snippy because someone was late! At least, that was what Daniel hoped would happen. He would be teased, questioned, but it didn't matter. He was late, and they would have to deal with it. Yet, he had a great reason for being late. He smiled as he tugged his vest on. Of course, he wouldn't tell any of them. Not until they knew for sure, or felt like sharing it anyway.
Slowly trotting down the halls, Daniel tried to wipe away the smile that has taken hold of his face. Actually, the moment he burst into the gate room it was quite easy to get rid of his smile. The rest of SG-1 were glaring at him, fake glares, but glares none-the-less.
"Wow." Jack raised his eyebrows at his speedy entrance. "And least he knows he's late. Come on kids lets go." He twirled his hand through the air and pointed at the gate.
No, they didn't care. And when they had their backs turned to him, he couldn't help but let another smile creep onto his face. He could not wait to head back to the reason he was late.
"Sir, have you noticed Daniel has been acting, strange lately?"
"It hasn't escaped my notice Carter." Jack turned a small dusty cup around in his hand. They were standing off in a corned of the large room the gate had dropped them in. It was dusty, quiet, and full of old ancient things. Daniel loved it. Of course, he had seemed pretty happy before they even stepped through the gate.
"Of course being late can't be that odd." He set it back down and moved on to something else. "Anything could have happened."
Carter followed him, determined to spend more time on the topic. "That's not all of it, sir."
"God Carter, are you worried because he's actually happy for once?" He put down the large red jar he had been holding, to turn and face her. The slightly flustered look on her face gave him enough time to drop the subject. "Anything cool Danny?" He shouted across the room.
Daniel nearly jumped out of the book he was reading. "Uh, mm I have a lot of writing. It is going to take me at least a week-"
"Anything, else?" Jack called back, it was completely normal for him to cut off Daniel. In his opinion, he could ramble on pointlessly about one thing while going in circles about the same thing.
"Uh…" He flicked through several of the pages from the book he had found. "No."
"Ok, lets wrap it up." Jack started heading for the gate, an exasperated Carter following him.
Teal'c raised a questioning eyebrow when Daniel was about to protest, but instead immediately headed toward the gate. Well, not immediately. It was fairly quick for what was normal on his account though. Taking several snaps of the writing on the wall, Daniel packed the book he had found and headed over to the gate and dialed home. His behavior was not lost to the rest of the team.
"Anyone seen Daniel since we got back?" Jack set his tray down across from Sam and Teal'c. After the post mission check-up they had all split off to do their own thing. The three of them had headed to lunch by unspoken consent, and hadn't seen Daniel.
"Indeed I have not." Teal'c spooned a large amount of lettuce into his mouth.
"T, how many times do I have to tell you-" he was distracted by Carter's face. "What is it?" She was staring across the room at a table. He turned to stare behind, trying to figure out what she was looking at.
"It appears we have located Daniel Jackson."
Carter nodded in agreement with Teal'c. "I don't think I've ever seen him eat lunch with Janet before."
