The room was quiet as they laid in bed together. Daniel was sitting back against the headboard, eyes gazing over the pages of a book. Vala was resting against his bare chest, wearing nothing but his shirt. One of her legs was draped across his own, and her hand was gently rubbing his stomach.
"Daniel?" Vala questioned quietly before placing a small kiss to his firm chest.
"Hmmm?" Daniel murmured in return. He ran his fingers through her long black hair, never taking his eyes from the page he was reading.
"Why..." Vala kissed his warm skin again. "Is it always a flock of birds?"
Daniel's brow furrowed in confusion. "What?"
"You know..." Vala rested her head on his chest once more. She looked at her hand still slowly massaging his tight stomach. "When people refer to a lot of things moving away fast, it's always birds." She adjusted her position so she could look at him. "Why?"
"Uh..." Daniel didn't know how to respond to such a question, so he just continued to read on.
Vala didn't wait for an answer anyway. "Why not a flock of..." She kissed his chest again. "Sheep?"
"I don't know, babe." Daniel flipped another page.
Vala didn't let it rest there. She pushed herself down to the waistline of his pajama pants, and gently kissed his stomach. "It is a fair question." She began to trail kisses upwards.
"Does it ALWAYS have to be birds?" She shifted for a moment to quickly kiss his appendix scar. It made Daniel shiver, like always. Vala rubbed her hand over it, and returned to her path of kisses up his torso.
"Why can't it be..." She paused between each word to make another kiss. Finally, she reached his shoulder. "A herd of turtles?" Vala placed her lips to Daniel's collarbone. She gave it a long, wet kiss and he shifted.
After a moment, Vala stopped and rested her chin on the end of his shoulder.
Daniel finally turned to look at her. Her eyes were shining with amusement, but were so serious at the same time.
"Herd of turtles?" He repeated with a small laugh, raising an eyebrow in a questioning manner.
"Yeah!" Vala gave him a big smile, and Daniel laughed again.
Tilting his head a bit, he kissed her lovingly. The kiss was sweet and lasted only a few moments.
"You're silly." Daniel said as they pulled apart. Vala rolled her eyes playfully and shrugged at the comment.
Both settled back into each other comfortably, and the silence from before returned. It lasted so long that Daniel thought Vala had fallen asleep. He began to rub her back gently, and started to drift off himself.
He was almost asleep when words reached his ears from where she lay resting against his chest.
"And what are flix?"
A/N: Yeah, so this one was born of a conversation on AIM between me and my beta. I asked the question about the flock of birds. Why? Watch Cor-ai and then understand I ask total random questions like that. And both of us would LVOE to know what flixs are, b/c she asked me, and I just had no idea. Bunnies are hounding for reviews!
