Ice Cream
A Nathan/Hiro Buddy Drabble (100 words)
Hiro was so like a child. Eyes wide with naivety, voice high in anticipation, too green to understand life. He spoke to Nathan like he was addressing a movie star. Cried out, “Flying man!”
When Nathan lost the election, he narrowed his eyes at Hiro. “You said I won.”
“You did.”
“This,” he held up the newspaper, “Is not a win.” Blank eyes stared back for half a second, then fell in sadness. Like he'd failed, instead of Nathan. Nathan shifted the guilt on his shoulders before deciding he couldn't carry anymore. “Sorry... that didn't... want some ice cream?”
And then, because I lack control:

Awkwardly Yours, Cameron
A Stargate: SG-1 Fic
(with Farscape references)
He's gotta be out of his mind. Like - in another orbit. Like, hit-on-the-head-with-a-staff-too-many-times crazy.
Because...
Hell, even the dark corners of his mind don't want to go around admitting things like this. And it's not so much the principle of it as it is the timing. Or something. He's not completely sure - doesn't want to ponder it too hard.
Or at all.
But Cameron is a big boy, and faces his challenges head on. Even this one (albeit aided by a lot of deep breaths). The situation is... he thinks he might be in love.
With Vala.
The alien chick.
With a thing for Jackson.
And the evil-crazy daughter.
Resisting the urge to beat himself silly - or better yet, to get Teal'c to do it (who'd be so disturbingly willing), Cameron reminds himself again that she's an attractive woman with whom he spends a lot of time with, in high tense situations, and he doesn't get enough chances to date, as it is. He could just be feeling the effects of too-much-SGC. And it's almost okay.
Except for the other part.
The part where he touches her sometimes - brush of the hand, pat on the shoulder - and feels like he's somewhere-someone else, and she's his, undeniably. Cameron is married to the military, a happy bachelor who's fond of women but not obsessive about them. Not possessive. So it's... awkward... troubling... a lot of things... to feel that way about her. He just wants to be able to shake her head and not realize his eyes are looking for something near her fingers (a ring?!). He wants to clap her on the shoulder in congratulations and not find his palm slipping down to the small of her back (embarrassing). He wants to shake the feeling that he knows her - in the uncomfortable-to-talk-about, Biblical way. Dammit. He wants to stop wondering if there's any truth to the whole 'past lives' theory.
Then... then he just wants to laugh and sleep and maybe check himself into the infirmary, because he's definitely not sane in these moments.
In love with Vala.
Past lives.
Ha.
Sure, he tells himself. Right. And villains in bunny suits live inside his brain.
