You and me tonight
He loved her. He always had. From the minute she walked in to the briefing room on the first day, and challenged him to an arm-wrestle, he had fallen so in love with her, he could never remember not loving her.
Have you ever loved someone,
But you waited just too long,
To tell them what you're feeling.
Maybe I was just too proud,
To say I love you right out loud,
Found the words I must believe in.
But the thought was always in the back of his mind – had he left it too long? He found it so hard to talk about things like this, he always had, but he knew right from the start she was someone to share the rest of his life with.
The thing that terrified him the most in the world was that she didn't feel the same. Why would she? She was beautiful, and so smart – what would they have to talk about? He knew she had feelings for him, the za'tarc testing had told him that much, but was it anymore than a crush? He knew his feelings were more than a crush – they were the real thing, and would last forever.
There were so many things he loved about her – the way she chewed on her bottom lip when she was doing her experiments, the way she could sit with those doohickeys for hours, and never realize any time had passed, but most of all, the way she had a special smile, that she used just for him, that made him feel like they were co-conspirators, sharing the same joke.
There was only one thing he knew, he couldn't take it much more. He couldn't face going to the mountain every day, being with her, but knowing that he wasn't really with her. It had worked for a while, but he knew he couldn't do it anymore. To hell with the consequences, he didn't care anymore. He picked up his keys, and headed out of the door.
**************************************************
She loved him. She always had. At first, she had dismissed the thoughts, thinking that it was just her wanting something she shouldn't have, but now she knew, this wasn't something that would go with time. She loved him, and she always would.
She thought many times about telling him, even came close to doing it once, when he had that Asguard stuff downloaded in to his brain the second time. But the same thought always stopped her – what if he didn't feel the same? She knew he had once felt something for her, when he refused to leave her on that planet, but were the feelings still there? She wasn't sure. Why would he feel like that about her anyway? He was funny, and smart, not the same kind of smart as her, more of an intelligent humor. What would they talk about? The only thing she knew about was science, and that wouldn't get them very far. She had to admit it; out side of work, she wasn't a very interesting person.
There were so many things she loved about him – the way he always pretended to be dumber than he was, she still wasn't sure why, the way even when they were facing death, he still had a sarcastic quip. The way he had a special look he reserved only for her, like they were sharing the same secret.
She couldn't carry on like this though. She knew she couldn't. Sooner or later, she would have to make a decision: the SGC, or him. Him. She knew every time, if he would have her, she would choose him.
There was a knock on the door. She felt the familiar feeling of hope every time there was a knock at the door, hoping that it would be him, then dismissed it as she always did, knowing it wouldn't be.
She opened the door. It was him. She couldn't help smiling. He didn't smile though. He stayed deadly serious. "What's wrong?" He didn't say anything. Instead, he took her hand, and gently pulled her toward him. Laying his hand on her cheek, he leaned in, and kissed her. This was it- no alien disease, no alternate reality, and no time loop. This was the real thing, and it was bliss. Suddenly she wasn't aware of where she was, or what time it was, all that mattered was the two of them, here and now. His hands brushed through her hair, and she wrapped her arms tightly round his chest. Finally they pulled apart, their heads still touching.
"I love you" He said "Right back at ya" she whispered, smiling. She stopped smiling, and said, seriously "I love you too." He kissed her again, and she held him so tight, she never wanted to let go.
This is right, she thought. Not the air force, not the SGC, not the damn regs, just this. Them. Together, forever.
It's you and me tonight, With these feelings we can fight, Just two people lost but made it found together, And if we make it through, Then tomorrow find the truth, You know I would fall, I would risk it all, Just for you.
