Pairing: One-sided Jun/Kat

Title: On High

He watched her move through his scope. She wasn't exactly where she was supposed to be. Carter had ordered her to move through the building on the west side. She had gone on top. He thought of informing Carter of this, but decided it was more fun to let it be a surprise.

"Not afraid of snipers?" Jun's voice was playful over the private channel he opened with her.

"Why would I be? I've got a better sniper watching me." Jun grinned at her reply. "Do you see anything I should be worried about?"

"Well, I'd be a bit worried about the Commander when he finds out you aren't exactly following orders." Jun snickered slightly. Watching the Commander scolding her was usually amusing.

"Oh, he can boil his head. This is better." She crouched down, preparing to strike. Emile was crouched beside her, ready for the fight.

Jun watched in anticipation. Maybe it was because he wasn't usually close to the havoc that her plans created, but he loved them. They were creative and made a fight more fun to watch. Usually it was all out of Jun's view but her plans were often big enough a building couldn't hold them.

There was gunfire from the east, the other half of Noble Team. There were shouts from inside the building below the waiting pair and half a dozen rebels ran out. That was when they pounced. The rebels were focused as they fired on the Spartans to the west and didn't see the attack coming.

Emile landed like a bull, shotgun blazing. She landed more like a large cat, graceful and powerful. She fired expertly, each shot of her pistol taking down a rebel. In a matter of seconds they were clear.

"I have to say, Kat, that was beautiful." The entire time he hadn't take his scope off of her. There was something wonderful in watching her work. It warmed Jun's heart to see such beauty in combat.

"Don't think he agreed." Kat cut of her channel as Carter moved over to her. Jun had to guess as to what was going on as he could not hear their conversation. Carter's posture was stiff as he spoke. Kat replied, her posture as relaxed as ever. Carter relaxed, though he shifted a bit, uncomfortable. Kat leaned toward the Commander as she replied. She had that sort of tilt to her body that he only saw when the two of them were flirting.

Jun wanted to look away but he didn't. He didn't like being reminded that Kat was Carter's partner, in several ways. He didn't look away, though, not wanting to miss as she walked away. After she would flirt with Carter she always had a bit of extra sway to her walk, knowing that he was watching her.

Jun finally lowered his rifle. He needed to change positions so he would be able to continue to cover his team. As he moved along, searching for a new perch his mind traveled to the Lieutenant Commander. He was painfully aware that with the bond with Carter, she would never have such a bond with him. He'd have to be happy with watching her from up high. Only a voice in her ear most of the time. Though he'd keep talking, keep reminding her that he was there, that he was watching her back.
