070. Storm
The Storm

"You and your goddamn rocks," Jack snarls. Water drips off the bill of his cap, rivulets off his shoulders.

"That's my job, Jack." Daniel swipes his shirttail over his glasses, not making the fogging any better. He's sick of having this fight with Jack. Every mission for the past few weeks had led to an altercation.

"You shouldn't go wandering off!"

"I was in the ruins. The recon showed that it was perfectly safe." Teal'c had said as much with the raise of his eyebrow. What Daniel wouldn't give for Teal'c's looming presence to shut Jack up.

"Then where's base camp?" Daniel shivers at Jack's shout, a prickling settling at the base of his spine.

Daniel places his glasses back on, firmly, the nosepiece cutting into his skin. "The rain hasn't helped." He barely bites back the cursing and name calling.

"The rain is shit, Daniel." Jack kicks a rock, sends it sailing into a tree, mud exploding from the impact. "You took off in a direction that you guessed was right, and—guess what? You were wrong. Okay? Can you admit that once? You. Were. Wrong." Jack pokes Daniel with each word.

"You're more, more, more . . ." Daniel's hands wind as he draws out his words, gaining some distance. "Military, Jack! Why did you follow my lead?"

Jack steps into Daniel's face. "Why'd you pick the wrong the direction?"

"Why are you such an asshole?"

"Why are you such an asshole?"

They pant in each other's faces for a moment and then lunge. Their hands know where to go, preventing a collision. Their lips mash together, as much a fight as their words. The kiss is violent, dominating, brutal, passionate, and completely unexpected in an obvious of-course-this-is-what-they-were-leading-up-to way. The fingers on the back of Daniel's head clutch at hair and skull, trying to force their way inside, latch on permanently. Daniel's fingers are doing the same to Jack's back and shoulders.

How could they have not realized this?

Jack's nose knocks Daniel's glasses askew so that they tumble sideways off his face and get caught inside his jacket. He still has enough presence of mind to back up a half step, but not enough to move his glasses to safety. That's the power of Jack's kiss, of this.

They finally break, panting heavily, foreheads resting together.

"What was—"

Daniel stops Jack's words with another kiss, this time plunging his tongue between the open lips. Jack doesn't fight him off; instead kisses back, clearly wants this.

Daniel pulls and they lower to the ground, his knees squelching in the mud. He pushes Jack back, laying him out. A memory of Sha're and the one time he made love to her on the sand flickers in his mind. Daniel's mind ticks over: Jack tastes better than Sha're.

He breaks off from Jack, pushes up, one hand balanced on a shoulder, the other hand buried fingers deep in mud. They blink at each other. A drop of water strikes Jack's cheek and he flinches.

Daniel swallows, whispers, "Do you want this?"

"I didn't," Jack croaks. He clears his throat. "I hadn't been thinking about it."

"Me either," Daniel admits. "And I figure that right now we have a choice. I can get up, we can find shelter, and then we can laugh this off, or . . ."

Jack raises an eyebrow, encouraging that or.

Daniel wipes the spot of water from Jack's cheek. "You know what the or is."

Jack licks his lips, takes a deep breath. One hand clutches Daniel's cheek, drawing him down as he whispers, "We've never tried or before."

"Think it'll help?"

"Nope."

Jack's mouth fits to Daniel's, this time soft and exploring. Their lips are tender and supple, slipping together, pressing together. Daniel sighs into Jack's mouth, letting his fingers slide into the mud as he slides farther on to Jack.

Getting lost in Jack is easier than Daniel would have guessed. The odd thing is that he doesn't feel lost. They're off-world, separated from the rest of the team, covered in rainwater and mud, but for the first time Daniel feels that he's ridden out the storm.

"We've never tried or before."
"Think it'll help?"
"Nope."

But like they could ever resist! Very sexy. :-)

Angry kisses are always fun to read. The urgency and need is just...yeah. Add the rain into the mix and it's a very yummy situation indeed.

[theemdash]

I am such a sucker for Angry!Sex and Sex in the Rain, so I just put the two together! :D (I know they don't get to the sex in this one, but in my mind, that's where they're going.) Glad you enjoyed it as well.

[gateruner.livejournal.com]

They should do this more often. *nods*

[theemdash]

*snickers*

Daniel rolls off Jack, their pants unfastened and Jack's shirt bunched under his armpits. The rain stopped some time ago.

"So," Daniel starts, "base camp?"

"I still can't believe you turned in the wrong direction."

"It wasn't my fault!" Daniel sits up, wiping his hands on his pants.

"Right." The sarcasm drips off Jack's voice as thickly as the mud drips from his jacket.

Daniel resists the urge to fling mud at Jack, instead focusing on buttoning his pants and tucking in his shirt. His mind ticks over how this all started.

"So, that helped, huh?"

Jack shrugs. "Told you it wouldn't." Jack throws a wad of mud at him. "But it was worth it."


(Apparently comment fic is in.)

[janedavitt.livejournal.com]

This is just so very THEM. Love it.

[theemdash]

Oh, I agree. *nodnod*

[mar-sin-nua.livejournal.com]

Ooh - angry and in the mud - I like it ^_^

What Daniel wouldn't give for Teal'c's looming presence to shut Jack up.

I think it definitely ended up being okay that Teal'c wasn't there ^_^

[theemdash]

Excerpt from Daniel's journal:

Mission 011473 - Prelimiary Study of Ruins on P3X-029

Getting lost has never been so good. Sam and Teal'c should perform routine sweeps of the area more often.

;)

[green-grrl.livejournal.com]

(I am so totally down with the comment fic!)

[theemdash]

Prompt me. I'm so bored.

[green-grrl.livejournal.com]

Sorry! Busy like a busy thing over here! *meanly points you back to your WIPs* ;-)

[melayneseahawk.livejournal.com]

Yummy. This is just so...them. :)

[tresa-cho.livejournal.com]

Ooh I want a kiss. Chu!

Very nice story, I loved the whole rain thing. I'm a sucker for wet!kisses.

[theemdash]

Hee. Thank you!

[theemdash]

They're slaves to a higher power.

[theemdash]

I love wet kisses, too. And wet Daniel. ;)

[paian]

I love that their hands know where to go and how not to collide even though they hadn't technically 'realized' this, and the other indications that, whatever hasn't happened before, they've both been aware that something was kind of happening ... enough for there to have been an 'or' there.

Plus, rainstorm. Mmmmmmm.

[melayneseahawk.livejournal.com]

Indeed. Us!

[adafrog.livejournal.com]

ooooh, very nice.

[justhuman.livejournal.com]

Nice. Both the fighting and the loving come so naturally to them :-)

[fifthhouse.livejournal.com]

You had me at "asshole". SO them.

[theemdash]

LOL. I love the way you think.

[theemdash]

Thank you!

[theemdash]

*snort*


"Daniel, how . . . I mean, we're so wrong for each other. We fight all the time and we're just . . . How can you—you know me?"

Daniel stares off at the trees for a moment, gathering his thoughts, thinking back over the arguments, the closeness, the way they finish each other's sentences, the spark in his chest when Jack walks into the room. . . .

"Daniel?"

Daniel turns, smiling. "You had me at 'asshole'."

;)

[fifthhouse.livejournal.com]

Ha! I sporked a prompt! And one that makes me crack my shit up. :)

[theemdash]

*snickers* It cracks my shit up, too.

[raqs.livejournal.com]

oh nice. i love the end and the "or". sweet!

[theemdash]

I think the fighting comes more naturally. ;)

[theemdash]

Yes, they are. And they'll pick themselves back up again. And each other. And then they'll kiss each other's bumps and bruises! (And cause a few, too.)

&hearts

[theemdash]

Oh, yes. Despite their normal "operations," their bodies recognize attraction. ;)

Rainstorm. Mmmmm, indeed.

[theemdash]

Where there's a will, there's an or. ;)

[starglyph.livejournal.com]

That's the power of Jack's kiss, of this.

I can just taste the rain and feel the mud. (And that has nothing to do with spring in Seattle.) :)

Excellent!

[irlanda-anima.livejournal.com]

Ah ha. I loved it. It's great reading fics or even watching it when two characters are fighting with one another and then sudden jump each other. There have been so many time on SG when I just wanted to yeah at Jack, or Daniel depending on the situation, 'oh just fuck him already'. Thanks for sharing!

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

Wow! That was so damn hot!

I like! =)

[theemdash]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

[roadrunner1896.livejournal.com]

Rainy, muddy sex. YAY!

[theemdash]

YAY!

I love it when I get feedback so much later because then I can re-read my fics and they make me happy (usually).

[roadrunner1896.livejournal.com]

That's of course the whole reason why I am so behind on your fic. I want to make you happy. ;)

[theemdash]

And you do. I love you.

[roadrunner1896.livejournal.com]

♥

[theemdash]

Sorry I missed this feedback. Thanks so much! And I'm glad you enjoyed it (and the mud).

[theemdash]

Glad you enjoyed the fic. And yes, I often think of Jack and Daniel "just kiss already!" ;)

(Sorry this response is so late, I just missed it. :( )

[getaway-machine.livejournal.com]

Angry!kisses are SO. HOT. mmmm.

[eldanis.livejournal.com]

I do not have a "GUH" icon. This must be fixed. I'll settle for Gojyo because he at least has sexy/slashy connotations.

This pushed sooooo many buttons for me all at the same time, it's a wonder I can even type. *fans self shakily* Angry kissing and wet kissing and first-time kissing all rolled into one.... I don't know how you do it, but DAAAMN, lady, you do it well! Now I'll just sit here and fantasize about what came next. :D

[theemdash]

YES. I wrote this specifically because I wanted to write an angry kiss in the rain.

[theemdash]

Gojyo is pretty GUH worthy.

Um, I think I did it by fantasizing about what came next. *snickers* I'm big into kissing in the rain—actually, porn in the rain in general—so making it angry and the first-time just flowed out of that. VERY glad you enjoyed it. ;)
