Word count: this chapter: 972
A/N: Ok, I have to apologise. I'm deeply sorry that it lasted so long. I haven't had a lot of time for a long time, and still don't, but yesterday when I came back home much earlier than usually, I didn't have any strength for doing my homework, learning or doing my big project for biology, so I thought I could have tried to write something. It's quite short chapter, sorry, but at least it is, eventually. I'm not going to promise that the next chapter will be sooner, 'cause, frankly I have so many things to do that I almost don't have time for writing, but I'll try to write it soon. Sorry for all my mistakes.
CHAPTER THREE, IN WHICH DANIEL COMES BACK, BUT STILL AVOIDES CAMERON, OR HE TRIES TO
"Daniel, you came back!" Sam hugged him immediately.
"Yes, I'm back." He said with a little smile.
Daniel looked much better than before his leaving, Sam noticed. This furlough had been a good idea for him, because now seemed to be less tired, and more relaxed.
"Where have you been?" She asked after a moment of silence.
He smiled a little before answering, "Massachusetts. Hunting."
"Really?" Sam was surprised. Daniel never liked hunting, and he always refused to go when Teal'c or Cameron wanted to go to hunt. Only one man could convince him to do this.
"You were with Ja… General O'Neill?" She asked.
Daniel rolled his eyes. He claimed that Sam should not have to called Jack 'General O'Neill', especially that he knew about their not-entirely-platonic-relationship. And even both of them were in military, they were not longer working together - they even did not work in the same city. Besides, almost everybody in Stargate Command, knew that they had a thing to each other. Not so many people knew entirely truth - only him, Teal'c, and Cameron - but everybody suspected something. And even Landry was not against them, and did not say anything - he just smiled a little every time, when he saw Sam talking with Jack, while he was in Colorado Springs, not In Washington D.C.
"Yeah," He nodded. "We've been hunting for a few days, or actually, he was hunting - I've just watching."
Sam laughed. Of course, he was just watching - she did not think differently. Even if Jack could convince Daniel to go hunting with him, he would never convince him to actually hunt.
"Come on, Daniel, let's go for coffee, then we will talk," she said.
He sighed.
"Okay," He agreed, and then he started to ask, "But…"
Sam knew what he wanted to say, so she interrupted him, "Cameron's still at home, he'll be here in twenty minutes, or so."
He nodded.
"Okay, let's go then." He started bearing to the canteen.

They were sitting in the canteen - Sam was staring at Daniel, while he was drinking a coffee. Clearly she did not want to hurry him, so she has not started questions yet.
He sighed.
"Ask," he said eventually. She always was a great supported to him, and she deserved to now if he was okay, and if something happened.
"How are you, Daniel? Are you okay? You seemed more relaxed but do you feel better?" She started.
"Sam, slowly." He could not stopped himself, so he laughed quietly.
"Yeah, sorry," Sam apologized.
Daniel smiled at her. She was just worrying about him, and he loved her for this - she always was one of his closest friends.
"Don't need," he said. "Just one question at the time, please."
"Are you okay, Daniel?" Sam asked with a seriousness in her voice.
"Yeah, I think so…" He shook his head. It was not easy, but after a week break, he felt much better, even if he still did not know how to behave close to Cameron.
"Good."
Daniel finished his coffee, and asked, "Any more questions?"
He did not even have to wait for an answer - he has already knew it, but he had to try. Yes, she deserved to know, but he did not like talking about this whole mess.
Sam has been thinking for a while. She probably did not want to ask him so many questions, and she tried to choose only one more - he was grateful her for this. Sam knew him, and she knew that he was quite secretive person, and did not like talking so much about himself.
"Have you told Ja… General O'Neill?" She asked.
Here we go again, he thought. Sam really should have called him 'Jack', even if only near to people who know about everything.
"Yes, two days ago," He admitted.
"And?" Sam knew that did not have anything about gays', lesbians' or bi people, and furthermore Daniel was his best friend, so he should not have had a problem with this.
"He said that in a high school he had a crush on some boy from his class," Daniel answered. "He probably - certainly - was joking, but it still…"
That sounded like Jack. "… was consolatory," she finished his sentence.
"Exactly," Daniel nodded.

Daniel managed to avoid Cameron almost for the rest of the day. Even if the SG-1 did not go for the mission this day, he was quite busy. After all, he had been on vacation for a week, thus now he had to make up for lost time. A lot of things needed translation. He spent most of the day in his study, working. He had closed the door, so nobody bothered him. Only for a few minutes, he went out from his study - Sam went in, telling him that Landry wanted to see him. His conversation with Landry was really short. General only asked him if he was ok - Daniel responded that yes, he was ok, he just needed a break, because he was really exhausted. Landry did not look like he believed him entirely, but he did not say anything more, so Daniel came back to his study, and continued working.
It was pretty late, when Daniel heard knocking to this doors. He did not answer immediately - firstly he rubbed his eyes, yawned, and then he looked at a clock. It was really late - three a.m. was coming. He was so busy, translating really interesting text, and did not even realise when so much time elapsed. Stretching, he stood up, and opened the door.
It was Cameron.
"Hi," Cam said. "Look, I know, you're pretty busy, but… I think we should talk…"
"Yeah, we should," he answered. After all, he could not avoid Cameron forever.
