jd_junkie 's prompt was:
I want to know what Jack and Daniel were doing before they rushed into the Gateroom (Daniel pulling on his jacket) at the start of Upgrades. :-)
ETA: there's now a nice little sequel by ![[info]](https://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small}

COMMUNICATION
Things just kind of exploded between them after Euronda. But not in the bad way. Jack had made his apology there at the DHD, with Daniel’s hand held in his, and Daniel had been confused but eager to forgive. Carter had been nearly silent during the debrief and Jack kept hearing that last thud against the iris, so Daniel did most of the talking while the rest of them contributed just enough to give Hammond the full picture. Minus a few snapshots of Jack making an ass of himself.
Daniel would have been entitled to rub it in, but instead he never brought it up. Not that they’d spent a lot of time talking to each other, those first few days. Daniel managed to make it perfectly clear that Jack was forgiven, and Jack did his best to show that he was appropriately grateful. There were olive branches and friendly looks galore.
But there was also an unease. Jack felt it as an itch whenever he was around Daniel. He didn’t know what Daniel felt it as, but he clearly was feeling it.
How best to scratch that itch became clear the night Daniel rang his doorbell at two in the morning.
The itch didn’t go away, but it was a lot more enjoyable now that Jack understood what it was. The friendly looks didn’t go away either, they just carried secret messages now.
And occasionally the secret message was an urgent one, which needed to be elaborated on, in a secret place. Often articles of clothing were surplus to that task.
Which was how they found themselves in a storage closet, with Daniel bare to the waist and Jack’s hands fumbling at the buttons of his fly as Daniel attempted to suck his tonsils out, when the klaxon sounded.

As a side note - this is one of the moments where I wonder what was going through Michael Shank's head when he decided that Daniel should be getting dressed as he entered with Jack.

Date: Oct. 8th, 2008 11:08 am (UTC)thank you.
something about the snappy, crispness of this is just perfect. so matter of fact and funny at the same time, like Jack's raised eyebrow. the tone of this one is just so perfect and appropriate to the way you tell the tale.
i love it. you rock. :D.

Date: Oct. 8th, 2008 03:24 pm (UTC)Whenever I write something as short as this, I check the word count at the end. This came in at 310 words.
Removing those 10 words produced the snappy crispness, I guess. *g*
Thank you, so very glad you enjoyed!

Date: Oct. 8th, 2008 04:47 pm (UTC)Jack lagged back as the rest of the team followed Hammond and Anise toward the briefing room, catching Daniel's elbow as he passed. Daniel sighed and turned with an expectant look on his face.
"It means 'God is my Judge," Jack mimicked.
Daniel pretended to misunderstand the accusation in his voice. "It does." Jack gave him a withering look, so he added in a conciliatory tone, "Jonathan means 'God has given."
Strangely, this seemed to loosen Jack up; he released his death grip on Daniel's arm. "Yeah, well you didn't have to be all...flirty when you said it."
Daniel rolled his eyes irritably, slowly starting to walk toward the exit. "I wasn't the one drooling all over myself when she appeared."
"I was covering for you!" Jack insisted, voice raising enough to catch the attention of some passing airmen. Jack smiled brightly at them and lowered his voice. "You couldn't have finished getting dressed before we got to the gate room?"
"You couldn't have just left my shirt on?" Daniel retorted.
Jack's eyes drifted down Daniel's torso. "No, I really couldn't have."
The hungry look in those brown eyes made Daniel's pants suddenly seem entirely too tight. He paused at the door to the briefing room. "Oh."
Jack stepped past him, deliberately brushing the side of his body against Daniel's front, and took a seat before turning an all-too-innocent smile toward the linguist. "Coming Daniel?" he asked sweetly.
Daniel resisted the urge to flip off his team leader in front of the General and the Tok'ra, but it was a close thing. He settled in the seat on the other side of Sam and eyed the woman at the front of the room thoughtfully. It didn't escape Daniel's attention that Jack shot him a mischievous look before turning a goofy grin toward Anise. Oh, game on Daniel thought to himself. This is going to be fun.

Date: Oct. 8th, 2008 06:06 pm (UTC)Loved Jack getting secretly frisky in the doorway. Such a naughty boy!
Daniel, of course, will make him pay for that. ;-)

It's kind of tightly written and no-nonsense and I really, really like that.
That storage closet could tell a few tales, methinks.
*new plot bunny. Tales from Room 18-00-144.*

Date: Oct. 8th, 2008 07:15 pm (UTC)I went to the episode list to see what came right before "Upgrades", and whoa! How did they get from "Shut up, Daniel" to storage closet!sex?
In 300 words or less. ;-)

Brings them even closer to my heart *snorfle*
Great Job! LOVED IT!

Date: Oct. 11th, 2008 05:29 am (UTC)another random thought: WHY does RDA wear such loose clothing. I used to think it was an O'Neill character wardrobe choice, but pictures and interviews seem to show it's an RDA one.

Date: Oct. 11th, 2008 01:43 pm (UTC)I can't imagine why he wears the loose clothing unless he's afraid his adoring fangurls will adore him to death if he wears anything more revealing.
Which would be a strong possibility, yes? LOL
