More Vignettes- D/V
First off- Congrats to everybody that got nominations for the Isis Awards! All much deserved!
Now for
Bernese (originally written for nicole9514)
When Vala moves in with Daniel everybody gets her house warming gifts. Mitchell gets her a chia pet collection that has Daniel rolling his eyes, Teal'c buys her wind chimes and several of her favorite DVD's, Sam buys her those fruity smelling bath sets complete with oil and bath beads, she also gives her a bag from Victoria's Secret to christen Vala's first night, which has Daniel blushing purple.
But Jack... Jack...Daniel has to start a new rule that Jack can't buy Vala anymore presents, because he tends to get her things that tend to give Daniel the "squinty face" as she puts it. And this latest present definitely makes it on the "squinty face" list. That is because Jack gets Vala a dog, a cute tiny squirmy Bernese puppy, and of course Vala lights up and calls him Daniel Jr. -- they are soo changing the name.
As Jack, Vala, Teal'c and Cam play with the puppy, Daniel turns to Sam. "We married five year olds."
"Yep."
Puzzle
Outside Jack’s cabin Daniel watches as Jack and Mitchell argue over the best way to barbeque, Jack like more beer in the steaks while Cam thinks that whole point of a barbeque is to actually use barbeque sauce. He lets his gaze wander over to the table they had set up and smiles at Sam and Teal’c playing a chess game, last time he checked Sam had been winning but he knew from experience that Teal’c had some pretty good bluffs. Everything was idyllic, still something felt off. He couldn’t really explain it. Something was off. Something was missing. It was then that Vala came bouncing out of the cabin, she handed over a beer to both Jack and Cam, smirked at the game (she had already beaten both of them), before she came over to Daniel perching herself on his lap. She wrapped her arms around his neck before giving him a soft kiss and Daniel felt the last piece click into place.
Red
Vala likes living with Sam. They go shopping on weekends when they’re not off world; Sam is surprisingly fashion conscious. She encourages Vala to buy impractical but fantastically sexy shoes and new leather boots that makes Daniel stammer when she wears them with the red leather skirt that Sam also convinced her to get with a wicked grin, because apparently Daniel likes red. Vala stores that information for future reference. Sam takes Vala to get pedicures, where they gossip about the boys, Sam is a fountain of information and she readily shares it with Vala, especially little tidbits about their favorite resident archeologist.
They go out to bars and dance and get drunk before stumbling home giggling about the men that hit on them, they also giggle about the fact that they can kick most of those men’s asses even as drunk as they are. Sam teaches Vala how to play pool and they go home from bars with absurd amounts of money. They watch movies; Sam introduces her to the world of Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall, and they quotes the lines to each other as they do the others nails. Sam: pale blue, Vala: deep red. They like the fact that they can be as girly as they want to be or not to be around each other. They’re both women that grew up in a man’s world and sometimes they just need to reminds themselves it okay to be girls.
Sam teaches Vala to drive, much to Daniel’s chagrin, Vala picks it up like that. It’s not even funny and all she talks about now is getting a Corvette that she’s going to paint bright red with pink flames. Sam just tells her that she should just go for the Porsche; Daniel glares.
After three months of seeing red, Daniel has had it. He loves Sam, he really does, she’s one his best friends, she’s his sister, but it’s not fair- she’s hogging Vala. So he does the only think he can think of, he proposes. They’re on his couch and he kinda just blurts it out but Vala doesn’t seem to mind as she kisses him until they’re both breathless. When they break apart due to the need for air Daniel suggests that they take it to the bedroom, Vala agrees but not before, “ I’ll meet you there darling I just have to call Sam.” Daniel sighs but let’s her call their friend, it’s only fair-- it’s not like they’re going to be leaving the apartment for the next couple of days, he even bought new red sheets.
One
Vala collapses on Daniel, she is sweaty, sated and deliciously sore, moving slightly to kiss his pulse point she shivers when he skims his hand over her back leaving it to rest on the small of her back; they’re still one.
Sex
Daniel knows that everybody that looks at Vala thinks sex. He knows that all they think, that he thinks that too. They’re wrong, though. Because when Daniel looks at Vala he thinks love.
Love
When Daniel and Vala fight, they really fight. They never hold back and sometimes the rest of the team is left to wonder how they can go back to being together after some of the things they say. They can spend days avoiding each other and missions that happen during a fight always go wrong.
They’re both passionate and stubborn people and it’s that that makes the fights so bad, because they’re ready to argue their side of the disagreement until they’re blue in the face. They’re not afraid to call the other out; they’re not afraid to yell, kick, punch and insult each other.
But they always make up. Cam jokes that the make-up sex must be one hell of a thing. They always make up and more than half the staff is always in awe that they do, some of their fights are pretty brutal. A lot of them don’t understand. But Daniel and Vala could really care less. Yes some of their fights-- their real fights, not their normal bickering, can get pretty bad, but they don’t really care because they’re in love. They love each other and no amount of name-calling and door slams can stop that. They know each other and they know how each other works, they understand everything about one another, they’re not afraid of being honest with each other, they have no need to tip toes around one another. If one of them is wrong they’ll admit it, it just takes time due to their nature and the other gets that. Cam’s right about the make-up sex, but half the time its not even about that. It’s a look over coffee or a quick smile and kiss or just reaching out to hold the others hand, sometimes is a make-out session in Daniel’s lab. They never really apologize to the other; they just look at each other and understand.
They fight. They make-up. They’re in love. It doesn’t matter if nobody else gets it, they do.
