"Unspoken" Jack/Daniel drabble. Rated G.

[sid]

Oy! I had to get out of bed to write this!

J/D drabble, rated G

UNSPOKEN

It was there. Unspoken. It shone in Daniel’s eyes. Daniel loved him.

It wasn’t hero worship, admiration, or simple friendship. Jack was familiar with all those things.

It was love; the kind that asked for nothing in return. A beautiful gift.

But how could you not love someone who loved you? How could you not respond to the warmth in someone’s eyes, to the soul that looked out at you and found you somehow worthy?

Jack wasn’t permitted to love him back. He was sure that Daniel understood that.

And yet he did.

It was there. Unspoken. In his touch.

I'm glad you got out of bed!

That was lovely.

(No pun intended.)

Sweet, Sid! Just damned sweet. :o)

[janedavitt.livejournal.com]

Beautiful!

[sid]

*giggle*

I was afraid I would forget it all if I waited until morning. Thank you!

[sid]

Any more than 100 words,and it might have been sickeningly sweet!

Thanks delph!

[sid]

I'm glad you liked it! :-)

[ivorygates]

Wicked cool!

It wasn’t hero worship, admiration, or simple friendship. Jack was familiar with all those things.

It's amazing how you imply so much about Jack with this one line. It's a whole window into his past.

[sid]

I figure a big, strong, handsome military man must know about those things.

*mentally swoons into Jack's arms*

Thanks!

Oh my goodness. How beautiful was that?

But how could you not love someone who loved you? How could you not respond to the warmth in someone’s eyes, to the soul that looked out at you and found you somehow worthy?

That right there deserves to have a fic based on it. Wow...lovely job. Absolutely beautiful.

Aw, that was sweet. Their love is so doomed to be thwarted by canon.

[sid]

Oh, thank you so much! You're making me very happy! :-)

[sid]

Fortunately, we have ways to get around that.....

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[melayneseahawk.livejournal.com]

Fortunately, we have ways to get around that.....

That we do. *grins*

Mmmmmmmm.... *happy now*

I had to get out of bed to write this!
That's why I always keep a notepad on my bedside table. ;) I'm always getting my good ideas while lying in bed.

[sid]

*giggle* I sleep in a waterbed. It's not conducive to writing!

Glad you're happy!!

[ivorygates]

Ooooh! Can't you just imagine the Untold Story From Jack's Past, where he had to deal with some terribly Schoolboy Crush from some young dewy-damp Second Lieutenant back in his Black Ops days? "Oooh, Major O'Neill, you're so masterful! Can I hold your weapon for you?"

*snicker*

[sid]

LOL!!!

Can I hold your weapon for you?

*dies*

[delphia2000.livejournal.com]

some young dewy-damp Second Lieutenant back in his Black Ops days? "Oooh, Major O'Neill, you're so masterful! Can I hold your weapon for you?"

That must have been Harry! :oD

[sid]

You guys are cracking me up!

I guess it was Jack's rejection that turned Harry into the cold-hearted bastard we met initially. :-D

[delphia2000.livejournal.com]

The scene we didn't see in the first episode where Harry showed up, was where Jack said, "Permission to f*ck the brains out of this man, Sir?" ;o)

[sid]

We know it had to happen eventually, right? There isn't any other explanation for the radical change in Harry. *nods*

It's no wonder they called themselves Starsky and Hutch, lol! Everybody knows that they were doin' it!

[spacemonkeyphd2.livejournal.com]

*sniff* That was sooooo sweet. You've got them both down to a tee. They were so made for each other, you just want to go and hug them.

[sid]

Thanks, Monkey!

Yes, yes. Hug them. Tight. Possibly kiss them. Might be some licking involved. Definitely nuzzling. :-D

[theemdash]

Nice. I like Jack's uncertainty, not allowing himself to love, but loving despite that.

[sid]

Jack knows the rules, but what can he do? Poor lucky bastard. ;-)

[ivorygates]

Maybe... Though Harry and Jack are both Colonels at the same point, which doesn't argue for them being very disparate in rank earlier on (alas!).

Still, lovely to contemplate....

[ivorygates]

I love untold stories of Jack's past almost as much as I love tales of Daniel's academic career.

*nudge*

[sid]

Yes, but if Jack was a goof-off, and Harry was focused on his career (after Jack's rejection), Harry might have gotten promotions a lot quicker!

But, don't look at me - I'm not going to write it! :-P

[ivorygates]

If I make the big puppydog eyes? If I send you candy and flowers and make promises I don't intend to keep? *snicker*

It's pretty obvious from canon that Harry is pretty career-focused, as well as much better at playing teh Straight Arrow (WHOOP!) than Jack is. So he could have, er, come from behind.

In terms of promotions. I meant in terms of promotions.

(OMG you just can't take me anywhere, can you?)

AWww

[captainlogic.livejournal.com]

After reading some angst--why do I do that to myself???this was such a nice pick me up (even if slightly angsty *sniff*.

[sid]

Nope, sure can't! It's just disgusting, the way your mind operates.

*looks innocent*

Re: AWww

[sid]

A little bittersweet, maybe. But nobody seems to be angsting. They just don't talk about it!

[ivorygates]

*hangs head in shame*

*looks up hopefully from beneath lashes*

[sid]

NO!!!

[ivorygates]

*tear-spangled lashes*

*pouty lip*

*disbelieving eyes*

[sid]

*hands you a cookie*

[ivorygates]

*perks up*

Chocolate Walnut?

[sid]

Unless you're allergic! LOL

[ivorygates]

I am allergic to virtually nothing.

*snicker*
