He looked around the room and knew it was his bedroom . But he didn 't remember arriving at his apartment . Then his headache hit . He groaned softly and tried to move . That 's when he noticed the weight pinning him to the bed . He didn 't move again not wanting to wake the person up . He remembered a phrase one of his college buddies once said . " I never went to bed with an ugly man . But I sure as hell have woke up with a few . " Daniel tried to remember what he had been doing the night before , or in this case who he had been doing . He closed his eyes and tried to think despite the major headache he had . He remembered writing up the report on their latest mission . Seeing Mackenzie in the hall and getting pissed . Driving home then going to the gay bar near his house to try and not remember the deal with Mackenzie and Ma ' chello . That had happened a few weeks ago . He remembered getting a glass of whiskey from an admirer . He looked around but no one was even paying attention to him . He had thought ' hell with it ' and downed it . The bartender here knows not to serve him any beer . Daniel hates American beer and that 's all this bar carries so it 's whiskey or bourbon for him . He remembered someone sitting beside him . But since he wasn 't in the mood to talk he just ignored the man . Until the man asked if he would like another . Daniel had nodded and said sure . He wanted to get drunk and someone else was willing to pay . The bartender knew that Daniel would be able to take car of himself . Daniel had dropped more than a few guys wouldn 't take no for an answer . Shortly after that Daniel remembered nothing . The person above him moved slightly . He scooted over a little and draped an arm around Daniel 's waist . Holding him possessively . Daniel was able to turn his head to look at the arm draped over him . Seeing the scar on the back of the hand brought back a few memories from last night . Including who the man in bed with him was . He was on his fourth shot when the man paid and stood up . Daniel still hadn 't looked at him . The man leaned over and started talking . " It 's good we have tomorrow off , Daniel . You are probably not going to feel functional until at least three . " The man said . Daniel turned and looked at Jack . Jack shook his head no and pulled Daniel with him as he left the bar . They walked slowly to Daniel 's apartment . The night doorman recognizing both men opened the door . " Dr . Jackson , Colonel O ' Neill . Have a good night . " Both men said their good - nights and rode the elevator up to Daniel 's floor . Once inside Jack started making a pot of coffee . " Waiting for you . I knew you saw the quack in the halls . And I have heard base gossip tell me you frequent that place . I did a little light reading and found that your bi . I never really thought that about you , Daniel . " Jack said handing Daniel a cup of coffee . Both men sat down on the couch . " And neither did I . It 's in my file as well . But I was so good at what I did that as long as I was discreet about it . I could stay . Hammond liked it . With what we were dealing with out there . And with all those cultures out there it could come in handy . " Jack said . " Sleeping beauty . Told you you 'd sleep till noon or longer . It 's one in the afternoon . " Jack said smiling that he had been right . " You called me baby in the middle of a briefing . " Daniel said as soon as Jack entered his house . Daniel had left the mountain after the briefing and Jack knew Daniel was embarrassed and pissed . " So yes , I have a right to be mad . " " Everyone knows anyway . Why does it matter ? " Jack asked marching after Daniel into the kitchen . Daniel just turned and glared at him . * I think I 'm in the doghouse . I hope I washed the bed clothing for the spare room . Damn ! No bed in there . I guess I am on the couch . * " You know that 's not the point . " Daniel said before going to the fridge to grab a bottle of water then moved to the basement and the work out equipment . Jack let him go down there while he thought about his foot in mouth disease he seemed to develop of late . SG - 1 was sitting in the briefing room after the boring mission to P5F - 654 . The mission had been a bust . There had been nothing on the planet . Just trees . A whole hell of a lot of trees . Hammond had just given them two days down time and Jack was thinking about what he wanted for dinner . " Baby , what do you want for dinner ? " Jack asked as he looked over the schedule for next week . Daniel dropped the papers he had been tidying up . Hammond stopped in the doorway of his office and Sam spit out the coffee she was drinking . Teal ' c cocked his eyebrow . Jack was oblivious to it all . " Sir ? " Sam asked . Jack looked up innocence on his face . Daniel blushed red and quickly left the room . Teal 's smiled and left as well . Hammond started chuckling and left Sam to tell him what he did . Sam looked at Jack with pity . " Sir , I remember the first time you called Daniel a pet name . And I 'm not talking about Spacemonkey . I 'm talking a relationship one . It was on P5S - 381 . You called him love . He moved faster than Teal ' c and had you against a tree . I never heard what he said just that you looked scared shitless . " " And you just called him baby . " Sam said . Jack looked at the door that Daniel had walked through and gulped . Daniel didn 't nicknames like that . The only time Jack got away with it was during or after sex . For reasons . Jack stared at the basement door for while before deciding to take the bull by the horns and go down there to talk to Daniel . Daniel was taking his frustrations out on the punching bag and Jack could see the blood on Daniel 's knuckles even though Daniel had taped them . Jack had put the bag in there after he found out Daniel used to box when he was in his school . Jack calmly took Daniel by the shoulders . Jack knew that Daniel wasn 't pissed or embarrassed any more just sad . " I 'm sorry , Danny . Foot in mouth disease . I know I embarrassed you today . I won 't promise I won 't do it again but I will tell you that I will try not to . " Jack said . He felt Daniel nod . " Good . Now let 's take care of these knuckles . You call yourself a boxer ? Don 't they hurt ? " " You know something , Danny , I wish I could hit that foster - father of yours . He didn 't have the right to do to you what he did . " Jack said as he took the tape off of Daniel 's hands and washed the blood off . " He didn 't have the right to do it to anyone . I 'm sorry I react the way I do . Every time I hear those endearments I 'm back in that bedroom . And you really did embarrass me today . At least the marines weren 't there . " Daniel said with a smile . " Couch ? " Jack asked . Daniel shook his head no . But Jack knew what to expect . Daniel would probably have a nightmare . " Good . I don 't feel like running up the steps to calm you down . " " Jack , quit . I need sleep . I 've already done my watch . " Daniel said as he rolled over in his sleeping bag . He felt Jack move with him . He shoved Jack away . Or at least his head . And since what he shoved was furry it had to be his head . But when the furry thing nipped his fingers he knew it wasn 't Jack . Daniel quickly rolled out of his bag and looked at the ball of black fluff that was sitting in the bag with him . Jack must have seen him jump up because he entered the tent followed by Sam and Teal ' c sticking their heads in . " You mean you think they 're friendly . " Sam said . On Daniel 's sleeping bag sat two balls of fluff . Daniel reached down and started petting one . It started purring . " I think they are cats . " Daniel said . He picked one up . Jack picked up the other . They all moved outside . Sam started searching for food she thought they would eat . Teal ' c moved to check around for more . He came back twenty minutes later with a sad look on his face . The ' cats ' had fallen asleep in Jack and Daniel 's laps . " I found their mother . Along with two other babies . It seems they were killed . " Teal ' c said . Daniel nodded . He looked at Jack . " No way . Hammond wouldn 't allow it . " Jack said as he picked up the one in his lap and handed it to Daniel . The two cuddled together so they could stay warm . " So what we leave them here to die . At least ask . And if he won 't allow that . Say we would take them to another planet . One of our allies . They would take them in . " Daniel said . " They do not grow very large . The mother animal was three times their size . " Sam said after she returned from looking at the rest . " And they look like Earth cats . The only difference is the red eyes . And that can be explained . We should at least ask . And Janet can check them out . " " Fine . But I am not doing the asking . You want them . You ask for them . " Jack said as he started packing up the camp . It was nearing dawn and they needed to leave . " Now start packing . " " Thanks , Jack . " Daniel said as he took off his coat he had put on and laid the ' cats ' down in it so they could stay warm . Half and hour later the camp was packed and they were on their way to the ' gate . " Daniel , I am telling you . Get them away from me . " Jack said as he tried to watch a game on the couch of his home . The two cats were crawling all over him . One was currently perched on his shoulder licking his ear . The other was playing with his toes . " They just want to play . And if you want dinner I can 't play with them . They are kittens , Jack . They love to be played with . " Daniel said . " Yeah , I 'd rather be playing with you . " Jack said as he started petting the one on his shoulder . He also started wiggling his toes . The cat down there started playing harder . They had been lucky the cats didn 't have any claws and they were perfectly healthy with no off world contagions . " We need to name them . " " I know . Janet said that they are both males . " Daniel said from the kitchen . Jack sat there thinking . He wanted good names for the two cats . He was going to be the one seeing them everyday . Daniel 's place wasn 't animal friendly and since Daniel spent most of his time here anyway . They decided to keep the cats there . " Brutus and Caesar . " Jack said . He heard Daniel stop what he was doing and walk towards the living room . Daniel appeared and just stared at him . " What ? " " Fine . But I 'd rather you be screaming my name . " Daniel said before entering the kitchen again . Jack picked up the cat on his shoulder . " You look like a Brutus . " He said to it . Brutus tried to lick his face . Caesar tried to crawl up Jack 's pant leg . " Caesar ! Get out of there . " Warnings : Suicide Attempt , Child Abuse , Daniel only wanted peace . He wanted away from the beatings and the pain . He wanted away from the people who didn 't love him . He wanted away from the people who didn 't listen to him . Daniel only wanted peace . He wanted to go somewhere where he was loved . He wanted to be believed . He didn 't want to expect a beating every time he spoke . Daniel only wanted peace . He wanted to know what it was like to move without feeling pain . He remembered when he used to , when his real Mom and Dad were alive . Daniel only wanted peace . He just stared at the blood seeping out of the two near perfect wounds . He didn 't feel the new pain in his arms . The pain from his broken ribs hurt worse . Daniel only wanted peace . He didn 't see the people flood the bathroom at first . When he did , he wondered how they got there . He had locked the door . Daniel only wanted peace . He woke up in the hospital with a guard posted inside the door . The guard talked to him and made his laugh . For a while , he didn 't think about pain . Daniel only wanted peace . When he was released from the hospital and the Social Worker took him to his new home , he was sad . He didn 't want to leave the hospital . He felt safe there . Daniel only wanted love . He missed Sha 're and the rest of the people on Abydos . He wanted to sleep under the stars of his adopted home planet again . Daniel only wanted love . Daniel wanted to feel loved , to have that security . He knew that his love loved with all his heart and didn 't let go easy . Daniel only wanted love . His love talked about why he had left . He couldn 't deal with the crush on him any more , and he didn 't know how to tell Sam he wasn 't interested . Daniel only wanted love . Daniel 's heart beat faster that that proclamation . That meant that his love wasn 't in love with anyone else , and he might have a chance . Daniel only wanted love . Daniel turned around at the hand on his shoulder . He saw the love in Jack 's eyes and it was only for him . Daniel only wanted sleep . Sleep eluded him that night . He tried and even with the sound of Jack 's voice trying to lull him , he stayed awake . Daniel only wanted sleep . He talked for the first time in years about this childhood . Jack said nothing , just held him close , and let him know he was loved . " I 'm sorry . " Jack said . Daniel said nothing just turned on the radio in the bathroom and stepped into the shower . Jack gave after a few minutes and went to the living room of Daniel 's house . They had been working in Daniel 's garden and Jack decided to turn the hose on Daniel after he had finished watering the trees . Jack had done it a million times before and thought nothing of it . Then Daniel had blown up . Daniel had actually said nothing but had just stormed off to the bathroom to shower . They had been having fun up until that point . Jack wondered why Daniel had reacted that way . Jack heard a knock at the door and moved to open it . Everyone knew that Jack and Daniel were friends so Jack being here wouldn 't raise an eyebrow . Sam stood outside the door looking miserable . " He 's in the shower and I think I 'm in the doghouse . " Jack said . Sam smiled weakly . She was one of the ones who had set up Jack and Daniel to cop , finally , to their feelings about each other . " What did you do now , Jack ? " Sam asked as they sat down on the couch . Jack saw her fidgeting and knew this wasn 't going to go good . But she was loath to bring it up . " First off . I am Sam . You are Jack . You are not the commander of the SGC . " Jack nodded knowing this had something to do with something that was left out of the reports from the last mission . Daniel had been kidnapped and tortured for information about Earth . Sam and Teal ' c had found him later . The official report said that they didn 't know what kind of torture he went through just that none of it left and marks . And that he couldn 't remember as well . " Well , we lied . Teal ' c , Daniel , and I . When we found him , he was going through a pretty bad torture . He was in a sensory depth tank . One with water . " " We were working in the garden . I sprayed him with the hose . He freaked and ran to take a shower . " Jack said . Sam swallowed again . " It 's just going to take time . He talked to the doc . There is no real treatment for that kind of torture . Just time . And consideration . " Sam said . " That 's why I am here . He was supposed to tonight . But I just wanted to give you a heads up . The shower stopped . I 'll go . " Sam said . " Thanks , Sam . " Jack said . Sam nodded and left . Jack went back to the bathroom door . He didn 't hear any movement . He tried the door . It opened . Daniel sat on the toilet with the towel wrapped around him . He didn 't look up . " I 'll ask . " General Hammond said giving into his flagship team . These four , yes four , could get him to do almost anything . He might even turn them on the President some day . " Jack ! Where are my jeans ? " Daniel asked as they lay side by side on the dock . Daniel had been laying down reading a book when Jack had pounced on him . Daniel could see all of their clothes expect his jeans . And since it was early morning at the start of spring it was very cold . And Daniel was getting cold so he wanted to get dressed . But he couldn 't find his pants . " I made sure they landed on the dock . " Jack said not moving . When Daniel leaned over him to look for his jeans Jack pulled him down and kissed him . After a minute Daniel pulled out of Jack 's arms . " Stop it . I 'm clod . And no you can 't warm me up . I want to finish reading . And you will leave me alone this time . " Daniel said . Then he saw him pants . Half way out on the lake , floating . He groaned and lay down . " What 's wrong ? " Jack asked . He pulled himself up so he was leaning on one arm so he could see Daniel 's face . He didn 't like the smile that was forming on his lover 's mouth . " Danny ? " " Nothing . But you didn 't bring any extra clothes did you ? " Daniel asked as he stood up to put his boxer 's on . Jack shook his head ' no ' . Jack watched Daniel slowly dressing and only noticed that Daniel had put on his jeans when he saw that they were too long for him . " Yes , they are . And you 're the one who ripped my jeans off and threw them in the lake . So why don 't you take your boat and go fishing for them . " Daniel said pointing to where his jeans were . Jack looked out on to the lake . I sit in my car and stare at his house . I see him getting ready to leave . I also see the ' For Sale ' sign in front of his Up until I drive away from my house for the last time last time , I hold hope that he 's going to come . Maybe after he left last year he found someone . He was able to leave . I wasn 't . I wouldn 't blame him if he found another . Washington made him quit . Said he 'd lost all objectivity . That they had lost faith in the fact that he could do his job . He sold everything . Stored the rest at my place . Then he went traveling all over Earth . I knew about his retirement right after he gave his two - week notice . I used that time to get everything ready for my return trip to America . I sit outside Sam 's house as they wrap his party up . He 's leaving right after . I 'll follow him . I need this . To disappear . To blend in . To live a happy life with the one I love . I drive away before anyone notices . I smile when I catch a look at him . I 'm standing in my new house . Just big enough for two to live comfortably in . It 's in the middle of nowhere . We wanted it that way . When a mission went badly we talked about what he had to look forward to when we retired . We decided to live in Canada . Where we can legally marry . This house is located on the bank of Lake of Woods . Just inside the Canadian border . We are still in driving distance of the cabin in Minnesota . I hear a knock on my door . I wonder who it is . No one knows about this place . Not even him . I move to answer it . He 's standing there smiling . I look behind him . He 's got a few bags in his car . " Of course I would . Five years of waiting and planning . " I say . He pulls me into his arms and kisses me . The wait was worth this . I 'm dead tired . P2F - 843 was a nightmare . SG - 1 was sent to mediate a treaty between two of the tribes on the planet . Trying to get them to agree on anything is like trying to get SG - 1 and Kinsey to agree on something . It isn 't going to happen . We never would . Hell I think we would fight over what color bunting to put up for when the President visits . So I enter my house . I haven 't seen it in weeks . My fish are at Jack 's , so I never have to worry about feeding them . I know that if I had want to Jack 's I wouldn 't get the three days of sleep I want . I get woken up every three hours for sex . I have gotten over a weeklong headache . I do not want sex . Yeah , I may have missed Jack but … I want sleep . I see my bed . Yes , I am going to lie down . Fully clothed . It pisses Jack off when I do this . He says it takes too long to undress me . Happy Jack I took off my shoes . But the socks are staying . Jack won 't be getting off work for a few more hours anyway . It 's four in the afternoon . He won 't be home till at least seven or eight . I 'm safe . Maybe I should lock my door . He 's got a key to my house . Just not the new dead bolt I put in . Haven 't had the time to give it to him . It 's sitting on the dining room table . Damn that won 't work . He would come in though the back door . And even if I had locked him out he would just pound on my door till I got pissed and let him in . I need to stop thinking . I really do . If I don 't I won 't ever get to sleep . Then I 'll end up under drugs in the infirmary . I really don 't want that . Damn those inhabitants . Do they really have to be so pigheaded ? We finally brokered the treaty . Of course they didn 't want to come to Earth . Then I could have slept in my own bed every night . What they call beds on their world I would call a sheet . Hard as rock with a thin covering . I like my bed . Jack hates it because it 's small . I like it . I feel safe in it . Jack rarely ever sleeps over here . We mostly do at his house . Now why did I have to start thinking about beds ? Jack and me in a bed . Damn . I really guess should take a shower . And take of my problem here . Shower was good . Now my muscles are relaxed . I feel tired . I dressed in sweats and a t - shirt . I don 't like sleeping nude by myself . I get cold . I 'm cold almost all the time . When I 'm alone . I think it 's because I grew up in the desert . I 'm used to warmth . I don 't like being cold . I week without seeing Jack . Then when I do see him it 's at the briefing to discuss the treaty . Then he had meetings the rest of the day . I had to get checked out by the doc then was sent home for rest . Home . I am home . But I 'm not . Home is where Jack is . That used to include a tent off world . But now that he 's General . Well … it 's only restricted to places on Earth . I need to stop thinking . These thoughts going through my head . I can 't sleep . God , I am so tired . I need sleep . I need to sleep . Sleep . Sleep . Sleep . Sleep . Sleep . Sleep . Sleep . Sleep . Sleep . Sleep . Sleep . Sleep . Sleep . Sleep . Sleep . Sleep . Sleep . Sleep . Sleep . Sleep . Sleep . Sleep . Sleep . Sleep . Sleep . Sleep . Creep . Sheep . Deep . Bleep . Leap . Heap . Meep . Fleep . Is that a word ? What the hell is wrong with me ? I get drunk easy . Though my years of being a friend / lover to Jack has made my threshold higher . I am not a one beer drunk anymore . It takes at least six . Or four shots of whiskey . I hold my whiskey better than my beer . I hate American beer . The beer on Abydos was good . Irish beer is better . I need to go back to Ireland someday . I have a few friends there . They would love to see me again . I call them and write them . But I haven 't seen them in years . Damn . This isn 't working . I hear noises . But my body is too tired to get up . My bedroom door opens . I 'm facing away from it . Someone sits on the bed . I try to roll over . " Shush . Sleep . I 'm going to change and I 'll be back . " Jack says . Then a minute later he 's lying beside me in the bed . I roll over and put my head on his shoulder . He pulls me into a hug . This is nice . " I saw it in your eyes . You were tired but your mind was racing . Now , sleep . " Jack orders . I think that I don 't do orders seconds before I lose consciousness . It started off simple . They barely tolerated each other . Then after that first mission to Abydos they were near friends . Then Daniel returned home to Earth from Abydos . Slowly they became best friends . Then Daniel died . Or sort of died . He ascended . He lived on a higher plane for a year . And Jack fell into despair . And when Daniel came back from the land of glowing lights , he and Jack were not as close as they used to be . And it stayed that way till Jack retired . Jack didn 't go to the cabin like he had always threatened . He stayed in Colorado Springs . And he spent every minute , which Daniel was on the planet , with Daniel . Daniel didn 't think anything of it . It was just Jack being Jack . Then Daniel went with Jack to his cabin for a week . He woke up one morning to find Jack watching him sleep . He didn 't say anything . Just held up the side of the blanket in invitation . Nothing was said , nothing needed said , as Jack lay down with Daniel on the bed . Jack watched Daniel sleep . The man had just come back from P3X - 888 . Janet wanted him to be watched over the next few days . Since Daniel had said no to the visit to McKenzie , she wanted Jack to stay with him . Since Daniel 's apartment had no spare room , Jack had convinced Daniel to stay with him . Everyone was worried at how Daniel would react to the fact that he had become a captive . Jack thought back over the account Daniel had given General Hammond . First , he had been knocked unconscious ; next , he woke up to find himself the new pet of a Unas , made to travel over a long distance with a slight headache . Daniel knew that he would have nightmares . He knew they would come . That was why he had shut the bedroom door . Jack didn 't need to hear them . Jack didn 't need to hear his friend beg the unknown man to stop , begging for the pain to be over and the rape to stop . And the nightmare did come . But Daniel didn 't know that Jack was waiting for it . He didn 't know that Jack had heard it before . Right after his wife had been taken by Apophis . Jack sat down beside Daniel on the bed and started caressing his head . He knew that was the one spot on his body he could touch without getting a reaction other than calm . He continued until Daniel was calm and had stopped moving . He 'd been doing it for years . Daniel never remembered the next morning and Jack never brought it up . He would give his friend as much peace as he could . And one bit of peace was almost ready to be delivered . A peace he hadn 't known since the rape had happened , knowing that the man who had done it was dead . Killed while in prison , killed for what he hadn 't been put in there for . Daniel woke up the next morning and smelled the coffee and food Jack had made . He slowly got dressed for the day . He found Jack sitting at the kitchen table reading the mornings newspaper . On the table was a stack of mail . He recognized a letter from one of his friends . Jack explained that he had Sam get the mail for Daniel . Daniel looked through the mail . He wasn 't interested in most of it . However , a letter from the New York District Attorney caught his eye . He opened the letter and started to read it . Once done he quickly left the room . I am writing to let you know that Gabriel Johnson was killed four weeks ago . I reread your case file and thought you would like to know that the man who killed him gave a reason . He said that he had been raped as a child and when he found out what this man had done he killed him . I hope this gives you some peace . And please thank Colonel O ' Neill for giving me this address . It gives me great pleasure that I can tell you that this man is gone . When Jack entered the room , Daniel wanted to know how long he had known about what had happened . Jack explained that he had known for quite a few years . All the while Daniel was sitting with his knees against his chest . Looking like a little lost boy . Jack tried to hurry in his explanation . Finally , Jack was done . Daniel nodded . He didn 't seem mad , just sad . Jack quickly told him that he had brought home some work for Daniel , the Ancient 's language that Daniel had been working on for a few years . Jack let him have his office . Daniel stayed in there most of the day . Jack brought Daniel food through out the day knowing Daniel wouldn 't leave the room until dinner . The smell of spaghetti dragged Daniel out of the office and into the kitchen . Jack saw the tired smile on Daniel 's face . But he was happy . Jack smiled back at him . After dinner , they watched a movie . Halfway through Daniel fell asleep . He leaned against the side of the couch and curled into himself . Jack moved out of his recliner so that he could stretch Daniel out on the couch . He didn 't want him friend hurting his neck . When Jack stood to leave the couch Daniel 's hand gripped his thigh and wouldn 't let go . Jack grabbed a pillow and laid Daniel 's head in his lap . He would stay for as long as Daniel wanted him to . " Cameron Mitchell . Ditto on the other stuff , " Mitchell said . Their host nodded at them . Daniel and Teal ' c were talking with another of their hosts and weren 't paying attention . " You are Lieutenant Colonel Samantha Carter and you are Cameron Mitchell Samantha Carter . Obviously , you are of different ranks but have the same end names . You are maybe siblings ? " The Host asked . Before they could answer , he went on . " My wife and I thought that Daniel and Mister Carter are siblings . Their face types are so alike . " " No , Alibe , none of us are related or married , " Daniel said as he joined the conversation . " When Colonel Mitchell introduced himself he meant that he is Lieutenant Colonel Cameron Mitchell of the United States Air Force . Her name is Samantha Carter . Lieutenant Colonel is her rank . " " The mistake was his Alibe , " Daniel said . He looked at Mitchell who just shrugged . " Intergalactic redneck , " Daniel said under his breath as he walked away . " J ' ck ? " Daniel asked as he rolled over in bed . He thought that Jack was the one making the noise . Jack was known to be an early riser no matter what they had done the night before . He found Jack asleep face down with his head stuck under his pillow . Daniel laughed until he heard the noise again . It sounded like some one was in the kitchen . Daniel set up in the bed and looked around for the baseball bat that Jack kept for emergencies . Daniel got up out of the bed and grabbed a pair of pants to wear . He grabbed the bat and exited the room . He wasn 't even going to try to wake Jack . If the man was still asleep then that meant he would be hard to wake up and not with out alerting the intruder . He crept out of the room and down the hall . When he got the kitchen , he didn 't find someone stealing from them . He found an older woman cooking breakfast . Daniel set down the bat and watched her for a few minutes . He was about to call the local hospital to say that someone was lost and needed help finding home when she turned around . " Oh my , I 'm sorry . I thought that Jack was alone . I 'm sorry if I scared you . Who are you ? " The woman asked . Daniel heard noise from the bedroom and knew that Jack was awake . He came down the hall in his robe and entered the kitchen . " Why didn 't you wake me , Danny ? " Jack asked . He looked at Daniel and then followed Daniel 's gaze to the woman . " Mom ? " " I 'm going to get dressed . " Daniel exited the room quickly and ran to the safety of his and Jack 's bedroom . He and Jack had never really talked about Jack 's parents . It was a sore subject because Daniel 's weren 't alive . Moments later , Jack entered the room . Daniel could hear things banging from the kitchen . " After I 'll just leave , I don 't want to cause you any problems , " Daniel said as he pulled on his pants . He reached into Jack 's closet to pull out one of the T - Shirts in it . Jack sighed and pulled Daniel into his arms . " The way you look at him . The way you followed him out . Jack , you can 't hide the love you have for him . Now , have you ever talked to him about me ? " " NO ! I just didn 't want to hurt him . " Jack grabbed his phone and called Daniel 's cell . " Danny , he listen can you come back when you get time . I just have something for you is all . Yeah ? Okay . Love you , too . " " Yeah ? " Daniel asked . Jack slipped an arm around Daniel 's waist and pushed him into the house . Grace stood there with a smile on her face . " Mister Johnson , I just wanted to let know that you have a new neighbor , " Molly called into the room . The man who was sitting and reading didn 't even look up . He just turned the page in his book and continued to read . Molly looked at the man standing beside her . She motioned for him to follow her . They ended up in his room . " I told you , he 's a rather lonely man . " " No , he came here five years ago . He 's only had one visitor . She came a few times and then stopped . He would talk but for some reason she never came back after one memorable visit . They got into a screaming match . He withdrew after that . He talks sometimes but not to a lot of people . " " Yes , Daniel Johnson . He paid for his care for quite a few years . I guess his wife died a few years before he came here . He can get around on his own rather well . He just didn 't want to live in a place on his own . He said that a rest home was the closest he could get to where he used to work many years ago . " " Please it 's Jack . Mister O ' Neill was my father . I was never called Mister . General or Colonel but never Mister , " Jack said . Molly laughed . Then she choked down one of the laughs . " General O ' Neill ? Of the Stargate Program ? " She asked . Jack smiled at her then shushed her . She nodded and smiled . Jack waited until she had left before he went back to the room of Mister Johnson . He was still reading the book in his hands . Jack smiled and watched him for a while . He was drawn to the man and he didn 't know why . Jack woke up the screams of someone down the hall . His instincts kicked in and he moved towards the sound . He didn 't understand what the man was saying and he tried to wake the man up but he couldn 't . Finally , a night nurse came and gave him a small shot . A minute later , Mr . Johnson was calm and sleeping . " Yes , he just has nightmares . Go back to bed , Mr . O ' Neill , " The nurse said . Jack nodded . The nurse left the room first . Then he saw it : the small brown bowl on a shelf . Jack knew that bowl . It was a wedding bowl from Abydos . There was only one person on Earth that had a bowl like that . That man was Daniel Jackson . That man who had disappeared off the face of the Earth twenty years prior . " Mr . Johnson ? " Jack asked as he entered the room . Daniel didn 't turn around at all . He didn 't move . His eyes moved over the page he was reading . Jack got closer and he knew the language . It was the language of the Ancients . Jack laughed silently ; when Daniel had disappeared , the N . I . D . had looked for him trying to see what sensitive materials he had taken with him . Jack wondered what other things Daniel had with him . " I 've got something for you , " Jack said . Daniel waved at the small table beside him but Jack threw the small item right on top of the book that Daniel was reading . Daniel picked it up and then glanced at Jack . " You know what it is , Daniel , " Jack said . Daniel cocked his head . Jack smiled lopsidedly at Daniel and Daniel smiled . He set the SG - 1 patch aside . " I had to , Jack . Neither of us was the same man . I couldn 't be with you because I couldn 't be with myself . " " I didn 't . I live next door . Last night , the person trying to help you , that was me . " Daniel nodded , closed up his book , and stood . Jack pulled him , gently , into a hug that didn 't stop for a long time . " I 'm fine . I 'm great . Let 's go home , " Daniel said leaning in to kiss Jack . They both glowed and seconds later they were on their little planet with all they needed . Until everyone else showed up to keep them company . When the nurses came into the room after the bright flash of light no one was there . The room was empty of everything . They moved to Jack 's room next and it was the same way . A small sheet of paper fluttered down from the ceiling . Daniel had just come from visiting with Janet when a hand connected with his shoulder and spun him around . He was looking in the face of another Daniel . He looked at the patch on the shoulder . It read SG - 1 but he couldn 't place which team this Daniel had come with . " You , me , talking now ! " The other Daniel said . He grabbed Daniel 's arm and towed him along the hall . Daniel shoved him in a door that upon turning around Daniel found out it was his quarters . He spun around and was about to demand an explanation when he saw that the other Daniel was closing the door and locking it . The other Daniel turned to him . " I 'm not with him , never have been . Why would you think that ? " Daniel was still trying to figure out which team this guy was on . " I know you are . There aren 't any Daniel Jackson 's alive out there that haven 't done their Jack O ' Neill 's , so don 't lie to me , " the other Daniel said stepping forward . Daniel didn 't step back he wasn 't going to be intimated by the version of him . " I am not lying to you . I may have once entertained ideas of Jack and me but that 's gone . He wouldn 't or couldn 't give up his mistress for me . He didn 't for Sam either . " " Oh , " the other Daniel said as he stepped away from Daniel . " I just heard rumors and a few were wondering why no Jack had come through with another team . One made a comment that since O ' Neill was away in Washington , you could have some fun with a double of his and not call it cheating . " " Only he was with me at the time . So come back naked in his office . All 's good until I ask to go home with him that night . He said that I wasn 't welcome around the house on a whim anymore . His girlfriend wouldn 't like it . He went on to tell me that I was just filling his bed until Carter was ready to be with him , and after Jacob 's death , she wasn 't running anymore . He had already cleaned out the house of my things and they were in my place along with the keys I had given him . " Daniel was the one who was set to guard the door of the makeshift cell the evil SG - 1 had created for them . A banging was heard on the door so Daniel moved close to it . He hit the comm . and waited . " Look , can Teal ' c and I have a different cell , Mitchell 's being an ass , " the other Sam said into the comm . . Daniel didn 't answer he just radioed Cameron and had him come down . Cameron carried a laptop with him and when he got close to Daniel , he flipped it around . They had concealed a small camera in the room when they made sure it was fit for their evil counterparts . The screen showed the other Daniel and Cameron asleep on the floor with Daniel curled around Cameron . " Good , have Teal ' c fly while you are working on the cell . I do not want those two escaping , " Mitchell said . Daniel looked at his watch . It was time for Mitchell 's guard duty so Daniel turned to leave the hall to get some food . Cameron grabbed his arm and pulled him close . " No , stay . " " Hungry , " Daniel whined . Cameron held out a power bar . Daniel smiled and took it . Cameron went back over to the wall and hit the comm . unit . " Sam 's working on a new cell . Mitchell and Jackson can have some peace in about an hour , " Cameron said . Daniel laughed at his choice of words . He turned around to look at Daniel . " Sleepy ? " " Just one question for you ? " Janet said as she was packing up to leave . Daniel looked at her . " What 's up with you and Cam ? " " That 's good . It 's a cliché but you look good . A lot better than some of the Daniel 's I 've seen here since I arrived . " " Come on , Daniel . It 'll be fun . " Sam said . Daniel continued like he hadn 't heard her . Sam decided to bring out the big guns and tell Jack that Daniel wouldn 't participate . She returned twenty minutes later with both Jack and Teal ' c . " No , it won 't but it may for others . " Jack said . Daniel turned and gave Jack a filthy look . On the grounds it wouldn 't help Daniel , Daniel could refuse . But since Jack brought others into it , Daniel couldn 't say no . Daniel sighed and dropped his book . " It 's down to Dr . Jackson from SG - 1 and Major Ferretti from SG - 2 . Which ever wins will be crowned the Burping King of the SGC . " Dr . Lee said . He was the acting commentator . He was the only one from the science team who would actually participate in this . They had balked when they found out Daniel was going to do it . " Now , Ferretti has been a strong leader in this contest so far and Jackson was a surprising newcomer . Ferretti 's burp was striking norm for him . Can Jackson win it for his team ? What the hell was that ? Did that come from Dr . Jackson ? Good gods it did . And we have out winner . Dr . Jackson of SG - 1 . " " You never asked whether I had done it before . I held the cup at college every year I was there . " Daniel said . Jack started doing a wonderful impression of a fish . " Close your mouth Jack . You 'll catch flies . " Summary : The SGC has a costume party . And two guests are making everyone else mad because no one knows whom they are . Will they be found out , or will they go home without anyone finding out ? The commissary had been made over to look like a haunted house . Any member of the SGC could come to the party but since most had kids there was only about twenty people there . One catch : you had to dress up . And wear a mask . No one was supposed to know it 's you when they see you . This had been Jack 's idea . He didn 't even know if Daniel was coming . Daniel doesn 't like parties much . He had said he 's think about it . Sam had given the same excuse . The party was going well . A few people had been found out . And when you were found out off your mask went . Jack was one of the first . His Lone Ranger costume was easy . He 'd forgotten about his scar in his eyebrow . Teal ' c was revealed right after him . His size and speech pattern were a dead giveaway . There was only an hour left in the party and two people were still masked . And they seemed to know who each other were . Both were rather tall , as are most of the people in the SGC . One had on just a purple cape from head to toe . Then person never talked just nodded . The other was dressed as Death , black cape with a hood that covered the face . If you tried to look in all you could see was black . You know it 's a man and seems to do the talking for the other . Jack had never said you couldn 't come in pairs . But these two were . If you got close the purple one would stop talking and Death would stare at you . You don 't know how you know he is , you just know he is . And Death had an accent . You couldn 't place it . It hid his voice very well . " Ok , give it up . Who are you ? " Jack said . He heard the caped person stifle a giggle . But it was so quick that he couldn 't place it . Death answered . " Yes , Sir . It 's me . " Sam said taking off the mask . " I knew I wouldn 't be able to hide my voice so I enlisted the help of Daniel . Since he was going as Death no one would really want to approach us . But we really thought you would put it together sooner . " Teal ' c walked up beside them . " It would not be right . Seeing as how I am much better suited to see things like that . I knew Daniel Jackson from his costume and Colonel Carter from her walk . Plus I wanted to see if anybody would guess them . And they did not . " Teal ' c said . Summary : After ' Endgame ' Jack 's thinking about Daniel . Only to have the possibility of being with Daniel handed to him . How will he act ? So many thoughts , too many thoughts . That 's what Jack O ' Neill was thinking as he sat on his balcony of his house . Daniel had gone and done something stupid again . He literally went off on a half - cocked mission without Jack 's approval . And this was different from when he does it offworld . Yes , because this time Jack was a General and Daniel did it right in front of everyone in the Control Room . But then he knew he should have expected it . Daniel did what he thought was right . He always had . And that was one of the reasons Jack loved Daniel . Now Daniel doesn 't know this . Jack 's kept it a secret for four years now . Daniel wasn 't interest . Daniel was bi . He knew this . Jack had known this since that night he had taken Daniel home , after he had been brought back from Abydos . Daniel had gotten a little to drunk and he had spilled it . Jack said that was cool . Daniel was surprised . Jack had never told Daniel he was also bi . He didn 't want Daniel thinking his CO was hitting on him . Then Daniel would transfer off the team . He knew that Daniel wouldn 't turn him in , but it would make it uncomfortable . So he resigns himself to being a good friend to Daniel . And Jack knows that Daniel sees him as a good friend . Daniel 's very adamant on his refusal to let people touch him . But he lets Jack . Jack always wondered why , but he just figured since he knew Jack so well . He let 's others hug him every once and a while . But on the whole a lot of touching isn 't . Jack knows it 's from Daniel 's past . The past that Daniel doesn 't talk about . Jack heard the car pull in and didn 't recognize it . Nor did he recognize the man who got out of it . Jack watched the man walk up to the front door and knock . " It has to do with one Dr . Daniel Jackson . " The man said . Jack gave in and made his way off the balcony . He took out his key and unlocked his door . He ushered the man in . But the man didn 't go any farther in than the hallway . " This won 't take long . " " No . Well yes . But nothing life threatening . I know you are an Air Force General . But I also know you are bisexual . Don 't . I have my reasons . Why haven 't you told Daniel ? " " My name is Alan . I am the current boyfriend of Paul Davis . Paul got drunk and accidentally let it slip about you . In my time as Paul 's boyfriend I have come to know Daniel . Paul and Daniel are good friends . This was shared with me in confidence and I am breaking it . Paul knows about how you feel about Daniel , he told be after he let it slip . Daniel showed up at my house two days ago and wanted to talk . Daniel told me that he has kept it from Paul , about his sexuality . Just so that the least amount of people know . But he shared it with me . It 's taken me two days to find the right way to do this . Both of you are kind of stupid . Both in love with the other and unwilling to let the other know . " Alan said nothing more he just let himself out . Jack stood rooted to the spot . He looked at his watch . It was ten . He found his keys and got into his car . He was so intent on getting to Daniel 's he didn 't see the car follow him nor the two men in the car . Jack got out of the car and went to Daniel 's front door . Jack knocked and got no answer . He tried the door and found it lock . So he knocked again . This time he heard movement . " Hold on ! " He heard Daniel say then a few Abydonian cuss words . Daniel opened the door and stared at Jack . " Hi , Jack . Uhh , I was working on a translation . " Daniel heard the person enter the empty pit . His room was separated and no one knew of it . He didn 't even think anyone had seen him come down there this time . Ever since they had rebelled against Ra , the pit had been empty of weapons . No one had any reason to go down there . So Daniel used it as a place to go when he needed to be alone . " Daniel ? " Jack called . Daniel stayed hidden in the room and didn 't move . He knew that Jack might hear him . " Dr . Jackson , I know you 're down here . Please I just want to talk . It 's up to you . I 'll stay here for two minutes them I 'm gone . " Daniel tried to think of any reason why Jack would want to talk to him . After the rebellion he and Sam had moved in together with a different tribe . Teal ' c had stayed mostly because he wanted Daniel to tell him about the Jaffa Rebellion from his time . But Daniel hadn 't kept in touch with Jack and Sam . " Dan … . Dr . Jackson , please . " Jack said . Daniel heard him sigh . " Sam left me . We drove each other nuts . There was nothing between us . A kid of the tribe told me that you and your Jack were best friends . " " My first impression of the you from my reality was he was gay . But nothing from you . I can 't get anything from you . " Jack said . " Daniel didn 't give into the torture . That 's why Apophis put the Goa ' uld in him . " Jack said stepping up in front of Daniel . " Then he was an idiot . " Jack said before grabbing Daniel and kissing him . Daniel struggled and almost shoved Jack off him . But Jack took his legs out from under him and they fell back into the hidden room . Jack grabbed both of Daniel 's hands to hold him still . " He didn 't see what was in front of him . " " Before we left a request came across my desk . The president wants you in Washington . He wants you to be the voice for the SGC there . And to help me with Homeworld Security . I want you to accept . " Jack said . " You 'd be able to go on digs . Funded by the government . You 'd have a plane that can take you back to D . C . if something happens . " Jack said . " They have a house for me . It 's an hour drive from the work site . It 's a big house . Twice the size of my current one . " Jack said . " Why on Earth would I want to do this ? " Daniel asked sitting up so he could look Jack in the eyes . Jack laid a hand over Daniel 's . " A tablet was found . It said ' For General O ' Neill " at the top . I had Teal ' c translate it . The mission we went on messed everything up . Me , Carter , and Teal ' c were killed . The ' gate was never found at Giza . You left a tablet telling where to find the second ' gate . A different version of SG - 1 went back , but it was us . The other you was killed . I got together with that version of Sam . Who wasn 't military . Then she left me . But by then I didn 't care much . By then I had fallen for you . " Jack said . Daniel 's eyes went wide . " Dr . Jackson , it 's after seven . " Major Davis said sticking his head him Daniel 's office . " I was told to lock you out of your office . " Daniel was going to a house he owns in Cairo . Where he can reassess most of his life over the past five years . The turns it had taken . He had gotten an open - ended leave from the SGC following his brush with radiation poisoning . He watched Daniel board the plane . Just as he hit the door to the plane Daniel turned . And as always locked eyes with him . In that glaze was a love so deep it sometimes scared both the men . Then he was gone . On the plane . As far as anyone knew , Daniel slipped away without him knowing . No one would be able to trace him . He was heading to Alexandria then disappearing . The house wasn 't even under his name . It 's under a friend 's name . He and his friend will share it . No one knows of their love . Except Teal ' c . No one can hide anything from him . Only Teal ' c will ask that question . The question everyone had been asking Daniel . A year later , he slipped back into the country . He knew the Air Force would be having his passport checked at every plane and boat station so he used a fake he bought in England . He had money with him . Enough to get him to Colorado Springs . No contact was had between him and anyone else . He spent a few months in Cairo . Then decided to travel to England . He saw a few friends . Most he hadn 't seen in years . He went back to look around Oxford . In total , he spent two months there . Next , he went to Ireland . He knew of an old family friend there that would love to see him . And he was right . She had missed him . He spent a month with her visiting . Then he spent another two months in Cairo again . He needed to see some people there . People he knew when he was a kid . People who hadn 't seen him since he left with his parents before that accident . With the last four months , he wandered all over Canada and Alaska . He had never been to Alaska and he had always wanted to go . Again , he used the fake name . Then he showed up outside the security gate at the mountain . Only one of the guards recognized him . Sergeant Lee . It was a guy he had been close friends with . He helped him get in without anyone knowing who he was . " How did he do it ? " Jack asked as he looked at the man 's back . He was looking around the room as if it was something special . " No one knows , Sir . " Lee lied . He looked into the room before opening the door to let SG - 1 and Hammond in . " He was found inside on the medical ward . I think he may be crazy . " " Why ? " He said to Teal ' c . Then to the man " How did you know his name ? " Jack asked as he stepped up behind the man to spin his around . " Only you , Daniel . " Jack said . He looked at Daniel and he saw the light in Daniel 's eyes again . He knew that Daniel was back to stay . " I 'm sorry , Sir . You think that Jack and I are what ? " Daniel asked as he sat down . Hammond looked at Daniel for a few seconds then Daniel started laughing . Hammond had never heard Daniel laugh like that . " I think that if Jack and I were having sexual relations we would know about it , Sir . " Daniel said . Hammond looked at Daniel for a few seconds . " If it 's Fridays then yes . Years ago we did team night . Everyone came over and watched a game or a movie . Usually I drank too much . And since Sam would have to take Teal ' c back to the base I just stayed there . After a few years Sam and Teal ' c did their own thing and Jack and I kept on watching games . " Daniel said . Jack entered Daniel 's office an hour later to find the rest of his team trying to split a gut . Teal ' c was laughing which was odd . But Sam was laughing so hard that she was crying . And Daniel was bent double with Sam leaning on his back . " General Hammond talked to about the fact that someone made allegations . Saying you and I are in a relationship . " Daniel said . Jack started laughing . Hammond walked into the room to find everyone still laughing . Except Jack was now leaning over Daniel 's desk trying not to fall down . He immediately turned and left the room . " So you passed ? " Jack asked Daniel . SG - 1 was doing a team night . Pizza , beer , but this time no movie . They just wanted to talk . " You knew I would . " Daniel said . As he sat back down on the couch beside Jack . Teal ' c was sitting in a chair and Sam was sitting on the floor between his legs . " Guest room hasn 't been used in years . We all crash . Put the music loud enough and you won 't hear Jack . " Daniel said which earn him a slap on the thigh . " Semantics . They asked if Jack and I have sex . No we make love . If Jack and I are in a relationship . No we are in a partnership . " Daniel said . 00Q Reverse Big Bang !
