Season: Any with Sam as Major Carter.
Pairing: Jack/Sam.
Rating: Older kids upwards for language, innuendos and content.
Summary: A simple slip-of-the-tongue started a huge ball rolling.
(kumfumbled: adj - 1. confused or lost, typically when thinking or trying to figure something out.)
KUMFUMBLED
Jack sat down on the sofa and began picking nervously at the beer's label, trying to formulate a coherent sentence.
"Are you okay?"
Startled, he looked up. She hadn't added the "Sir". So... no formality? That's good. I think?
"Yes... No... I...." Crap!
Her concerned countenance filled his thoughts.
"Something wrong?"
He forced himself to answer.
"No! Nothing's wrong... but, it's not right either." Adding with a wince, "Does that make any sense?"
Oh for cryin' out loud! He'd faced anything and everything imaginable... but talking emotions? That was like a foreign language – it kumfumbled him every time. Double crap!
