Title: The Game of Hearts
Jack flopped down onto the bed in the room he was sleeping in until they found Daniel and sighed. He couldn't lose the archeologist, the world couldn't afford it nor could his heart. Against his well being he was falling in love with Daniel and though he might never admit it to the man he would do everything in his power to protect him. But right now Daniel was missing, except Jack was pretty sure he was just out of phase. No one else knew that and they wouldn't be able to figure it until the scientists examined the skull.
He was angry at Daniel for looking into the skull like he did, forgoing necessary percussions to satisfy his curiosity. He always pressed something before Carter had time to make sure it wasn't dangerous and he always got into trouble. At times Jack found it entertaining but when things like this happened he hated it, hated Daniel for putting them through this.
He glanced at the door quickly as he sensed Daniel pass through the wall. He looked sad and Jack wished he could talk to him and comfort him but he knew he couldn't. There wasn't anything he could do for Daniel and it pained his heart.
"I know you can't hear me Jack," Daniel said and Jack had to force himself not to react. "But I'm sorry. I know I shouldn't have looked in the skull, but I didn't think it would do any harm. I really didn't."
Jack sighed and rolled over so that he was 'unknowingly' facing Daniel who was standing by the edge of the bed in a bit of a creepy manner. He kept himself from smiling at the sight and made himself comfortable. He had the chance to just stare at Daniel and pretend that he didn't know he was there.
"Daniel," he mumbled, reaching over to switch off the light.
"Jack, I'm here. I'm here and I'm not going anywhere."
Jack smiled to himself as Daniel crawled into the bed beside him, facing him and placed a hand on his. Jack wasn't suppose to feel it but he did, he was sensitive to some alternate dimensions only because he'd been on them and Daniel's gesture touched his heart. Daniel wouldn't do this for Sam or Teal'c, they didn't have that kind of connection and Jack saw it as a sign that there could be something more between them if he just let it happen.
He wouldn't let himself do anything though, least not for a while because Daniel was still grieving over what had happened to Shau'ri. He would never take her place and he could never try to start something with Daniel while he was dealing with his grief. He still had his own problems to work though as well. Sara had started talking to him again and it was opening up some old wounds he'd rather not have to go through with her. He needed time to get over his mistake and she wasn't making it any better, wouldn't even be around when he could finally talk about Charlie without feeling a stabbing pain in his heart.
"Night Daniel," He murmured as he drifted off to sleep.
O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.
Jack stared at the Tantar ambassadors as they spoke with Daniel. He'd known that the technology was theirs, they were the only ones Jack knew who'd experimented with dimensional shifting, but he hadn't known that they skulls were still in their possession. He'd never known the Tantar had been on Earth even though there had been some of their influences in South America and finding out that they had was a blow. He knew every race that had visited Earth, everything they did and to know that the Tantar had slipped past his monitoring made him wonder what else had.
When they asked for Nick to stay he allowed it, knowing that there was nothing stopping the old man and that the Tantar would bring him no harm. They were a good race and were kind to humans. Their knowing Nick from before also added to their liking of him and he was all for the humans having contact with the long lasting race.
"Are you ok Jack?" Daniel asked him as they were walking back to the Stargate.
Jack glanced at him, then at Sam who was several feet in front of them. "I'm fine."
Daniel bit his lip, "It's just, I stayed with you two nights ago and you didn't have a good sleep."
Jack quirked an eyebrow, wondering if Daniel had slept that night because he'd thought his discomfort hadn't been a disturbance. "It's fine Daniel. I'm just glad you're back."
Daniel didn't look too convinced but didn't press the issue as Sam dialed the Gate and they left the planet. Jack knew that if he thought it would do any good Daniel would question him again but he didn't think there was anything for Daniel to question him on. His disturbed sleep had been a mix of Charlie and Daniel in various death sequences, which he was use to but not at such a degree. It had thrown him off guard and he would have to remember to meditate before bed if he wanted to avoid any reoccurring dreams. He couldn't let his dreams affect him or his desires.
