"Only You" - Cartel

Cameron Mitchell couldn't remember the exact instance when he had realized he was in love with Daniel Jackson. Since he met the man he had been completely intrigued by him. He was brilliant, had razor sharp wit, and gave every little thing he came across the amount of attention as if it was the most important thing in the world. He was sometimes awkward, smiling shyly when he found something amusing, whether it was someone else or himself that was the cause. He was an optimist in respects to discoveries but could be a tad grumpy, which amused Cameron to no end. And even before he met Daniel Jackson, Cameron had admired his moralism and modest heroism displayed in the mass of mission statements he had read.

But in the blur of trying to persuade him to rejoin SG1 and the chaos of a new enemy, a friendship formed, and not soon after, a budding romance. With little hesitation Cameron's heart fell completely for the archaeologist. It was a cliché but Cameron didn't care; it was like no other feeling he'd ever had. The nickname 'Sunshine' that he had given his lover was not just a sarcastic poke at his grumpiness, but it was also how he saw Daniel. This beacon of bright light in a chaotic and often dark and scary life they led; his endless source of elation. He would have declared it in the instance he realized it, but Cam knew how precious of a testament it was. Daniel was hesitant to put it out there too quickly even if he did feel it and Cam knew that. So he waited to say it, because Daniel wanted to. It was easy to wait if he knew it made Daniel feel better. Because after all, Cameron was, without a doubt, in love with Daniel.

Daniel Jackson knew the exact moment he realized he was in love with Cameron Mitchell. He didn't know when 'love' started to take over 'falling for,' but he did know when it hit him that he was indeed in love. It was after the ordeal with the memory device where Cam had been accused of murder. He had been hurt and wanted to just brush off their little relationship as nothing more than a fling and go back to just being colleagues. But seeing Cameron in the emotional agony he was in thinking he had murdered that poor woman, and seeing his eyes as he apologized for what he did, Daniel couldn't bear the thought of not being with this man. He wanted to punch him, but wanted to be wrapped in his arms even more. And it was then that Daniel realized he was in love with Cameron. He knew they would make it through this like they did everything else and he knew that what had happened was a fluke. It didn't define their relationship. The fact that Daniel had never felt safer with the notion of love as he did when it came to Cameron Mitchell was what put meaning to their relationship. He was everything Daniel never wanted; to be completely involved in a person to the point of needing them was something that terrified Daniel, having had lost so many people in his past.

But now he had it; he had the person that made him feel like more than he'd ever been. He was in love with Cameron and he knew Cameron was in love with him. He also knew that Cameron had been harboring those three words inside until Daniel was ready to be a 'them,' and not just two individuals. Daniel didn't think anyone was ever ready for that kind of love to come into their life; something that powerful to just become a part of you. But here it was and Daniel didn't ever want to be without it. Without a question, he knew he was in love with Cameron. Daniel just hoped he'd be able to say the words with enough conviction as he felt to let his lover know.
