"I may not have the softest touch. I may not say the words as such. And though my edges may be rough, I never feel I'm quite enough. It may not seem like very much, but I'm yours."
"I'm Yours" - The Script
*tag to The Ark of Truth*
"Are you going to help me up or not?"
"Huh?" Daniel was startled out of his daydream. He looked to where Cam was lying down in the infirmary bed. Cameron just looked up at him expectantly. Daniel sighed deeply. "Okay just...hold on to me."
"That's not a problem."
Cameron wrapped his arms around Daniel's neck as Daniel helped him sit up. Then he swung his legs over the side of the bed and carefully placed both feet on the ground while Daniel steadied him by his waist. Cam's legs wobbled slightly but he seemed to be fine standing on his own. However, Daniel wasn't about to let go.
"I'm fine, Daniel," Cameron said quietly.
"Right," Daniel said equally as quite. It had been almost a week since Cam's brawl with the Replicators and he was finally allowed to leave the infirmary and go home and take it easy. Cam felt fine. A little sore, but considering all that happened, he was pretty lucky.
"Could you just get me my clothes so I can change out of these scrubs." At the request, Daniel grabbed the pile of clothes. Between the two of them they were able to pull the scrubs top off Cameron's sore body.
"Jesus, Cam," Daniel gasped. It was the first time seeing the rest of the man's bruises and wounds.
"It's not that bad, Danny," Cameron tried to reassure his lover, hearing the despair in his voice and seeing it in his eyes. Daniel reached a tentative hand to the harsh, dark purple bruise torso, his fingertips just hovering over the skin, not touching. He quickly pulled his hand way as if he'd just been burned.
"That's just what you need. More scars." Daniel turned away as Cameron changed, wanting to give the man a little privacy after his reaction to Cam's wounds.
Daniel knew Cam's body, every birthmark, scar, and wound like he knew the symbols on the Stargate. Now, on top of all the scars from his F302 crash, Cameron would have a new set of markings, waiting for Daniel to study with morbid fascination and sadness.
He felt a hand on his shoulder, Cameron once again saving him from his thoughts. Daniel turned back around to face his lover, now clad in sweats.
"Like everything else, babe. They'll heal with time." Cam smiled. Daniel couldn't help but smile back, if only slightly, at his incurable optimist.
Cam reached a hand up Daniel's T-shirt covered left shoulder to trace the bullet wound he knew was there. Then he moved his other hand to trace the appendix scar on Daniel's right hip. Cam memorized every inch of his body, knew where every scar was without even looking.
Daniel knew what Cameron was doing. The scars were part of their story, a permanent mark left behind by the job they did. Despite it, every time Cam was injured it hurt Daniel to see his beautiful body abused, to know that the man he loved had to have endured the kind of pain it took to leave these kind of marks.
"We've all got our fair share," Cam spoke quietly, softly rubbing his hands over Daniel's right hip and left shoulder. Cam not only memorized every mission file and knew of the injuries he had sustained over the years, but had explored Daniel's body a hundred times and new every scar of his life. He even knew the stories of the scars Daniel obtained long before the Stargate program, and some of the ones that weren't physical.
Daniel looked into Cam's eyes as his lover reached a hand to the back of his head, his fingers grazing across the scar hidden by his hair from when Daniel was thrown backwards into a bookcase by the replicator android. Cam sighed, moving his hand down to cup Daniel's cheek.
He brushed a light kiss to the inside of Cameron's palm.
"Are in you any pain? Do they hurt?" Daniel asked, concerned.
"A little. But you can kiss them all better when we get home. How's that sound?" Cam suggested.
"Fine," Daniel agreed, putting an arm around Cam's back as they started to leave the infirmary.
"Ya know, the Doctor says I have to stay in bed for a couple more days," Cam lewdly wiggled his eyebrows as they made their way to the elevator.
"She also said not to do anything strenuous," Daniel laughed.
Cam just smiled, giving Daniel a wink. "Don't worry. I'll go easy on you."
