drabble
Title: First Night
Author: Kehwie
Rating: PG
Category: Romance
Pairings: Daniel Jackson/Vala Mal Doran
Characters: Daniel Jackson, Vala Mal Doran
Spoilers: No
Timeline: anytime after season 10
Being an incredibly wordy writer whose one-shots take on epic proportions, I never thought I could do a drabble. Only 100 words??? Not possible. However, I can't resist a challenge, so here it is. My first (quite possibly only) drabble. Daniel's thoughts during the first night he spends with Vala.
If he'd ever allowed himself to think about it at all (and of course he hadn't), Daniel would have figured Vala for a bed hog. He could easily picture her sprawled over the bed, taking up every available inch of space.
He was wrong though. In reality, Vala slept curled into a tight little ball, as if protecting herself from blows he couldn't see. He didn't know what memories assaulted her in slumber, but he kept an arm around her as they slept. He hoped that one day his presence might turn her into the relaxed sleeper he'd always imagined.
