I watched 'Holiday' again last night (am I the only one who didn't realise Machello was played by MS the first time they saw it? Watching it again, I can tell, but the first time, totally fooled). Wow, they were really playing up the Sam/Daniel in that. Kind of a nice change of pace.
Anyway, I wanted to write something, so I did this, as the Jack/Teal'c was off the scale, too. I should've been doing one of three other bits of writing, but, hey, it's Monday. Still in a weekend mood.
Afterwards
"I can't believe you were going to shave off my hair."
Teal'c's fingers keep moving, finding places on Jack's skull that respond to each gentle push and rub with a silent, ecstatic howl.
"I thought you liked it."
Teal'c smiles against the nape of Jack's neck before biting it gently.
Howl.
"Said it was soft. Smelled nice."
Jack's close to whining here, an injured hurt jarring his words.
"I'd look stupid."
Teal'c stiffens, and Jack turns. "You don't," he says hastily. "I would, okay? It's a thing."
Teal'c nods. "I was not myself."
It's close to an apology.
Close enough.
