"Walking Elizabeth Home" Cam/Elizabeth Fic (1/12)
Disclaimer: I don't own Stargate of course, the grand high Mucky Mucks do, nevertheless, no copyright infringement is intended. No money was made from this, and any similarity to any other story not my own is coincidence.
Title: Walking Elizabeth Home
Genre: Fluff/romance; smut
Rating: Over-all NC-17; rated for sexual content and some language
Timeline: Sometime early season 4 for SGA
Note: Spoilers for the cast change that most know about, but just so you're warned, I used the spoilers and ran with them. Also, while the fic is rated NC-17 over-all, I think that maybe you could read everything but those parts and still get the gist of the story, since, honestly, it's just a relationship plot. Also, I used an adapted reference to "Why Humans Have Sex;" Buss, David. M; Meston, Cindy, M.

Anyhoo...
Walking Elizabeth Home
Cameron entered the quiet Mess carrying two mugs of coffee. He set one down in front of the woman seated alone at the table, and settled down in a chair next to her.
“So… work or pleasure?” he asked Elizabeth with a small nod in the direction of the tablet that she was holding. “Either way, I hope you brought a lot to read… three more months,” he sighed, leaning back in his chair.
“Ohh,” he made a sudden, small sound of self-disgusted chagrin. “Oh God, I’m sorry,” he offered the former Atlantean leader his apology, sitting back up in his chair. “I didn’t mean…”
“It’s all right,” Elizabeth assured him quietly.
“Way to go Mitchell; open mouth… insert foot. I’m sorry…”
“No… no really,” she replied quietly, trying to hold back any other emotion from her voice but that of reassurance. “It’s all right.”
Cameron opened his mouth to say something more, thought better of it, and sat back in his chair again. For a moment, he watched the woman in front of him. All he really knew of her had come primarily from the reports that the Atlantis Expedition had sent back once a week until they had had to uproot the city and find a new homeworld for it. There was also the information on her abduction by the Asurans and subsequent rescue by Colonel Sheppard and his team of course; information that he had needed to know for their return trip to Earth. But other than a few moments in passing last year when he had traveled to Atlantis, Cameron realized that he didn’t really know Elizabeth Weir.
Elizabeth took a sip of her coffee and made a small grimace.
“Yeah, we ran out on the way to Atlantis,” Cameron informed her. “That’s some of the store from the City. I’d give you a cup from some of my private stash, but I offered it to Sam. Who’d have thought that she’d take me up on it?” he said with a wry grin.
Elizabeth gave him a small, almost melancholy smile and slid the cup away from herself.
“Thank you anyway,” she said.
Cameron gave her a nod as she turned back to her reading.
After a few moments of silence, Cameron gave another small nod to the tablet in Elizabeth’s hands. “So, what are you reading?”
“Why Humans Have Sex,” she replied, smiling a little at the Colonel’s surprised expression. She enjoyed his slight discomfort for just a moment before smiling a little again. “It’s a study Kate… Doctor Heightmeyer has been conducting on Atlantis.”
“Really?” Cameron asked, his voice still reflecting his initial surprise.
“Doctor Heightmeyer wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of conducting a study on what happens behaviorally in a group, given a situation like the one we had in Atlantis.”
“So she studied sex?”
Elizabeth tried to not laugh at the Colonel’s expression. “It was just one of the studies she asked permission to run,” she explained.
Cameron gave her a look.
“So she asked you?”
“Of course.”
“That must have been some conversation... Hey, Elizabeth, I’d like to ask everyone how their sex life here on Atlantis is, then write it all down so that Wooseley and his cronies can read and discuss it at the next review board.”
“She didn’t phrase quite like that,” Elizabeth said with a small laugh.
“God, Sam’s gonna go crazy,” Cameron said. “Between stuff like that and McKay…”
Elizabeth held up a hand before he could even think to apologize again. “It’s done… and Colonel Carter will take good care of my people, there’s nothing more that I can ask than that. I don’t blame her. Maybe…” Elizabeth shook her head. “No… I’m not even sure I blame the SGC or the IOA for that matter. We have no idea what the long term effects of what the Asurans did to me be might be. For all we know, it may really turn out that I am too big a security risk,” she paused a moment. “At least, too big a risk be in charge of Atlantis,” she added.
The former Atlantean leader fell silent and Cameron watched her quietly struggle to come to terms with the sudden turns and twists her life had taken. He had to hand it to her, she was handling everything that had happened better than he thought he might have, given the same situation.
Suddenly, Cameron took the tablet from Elizabeth’s hands. She gave him a look and opened her mouth, perhaps to protest, when the colonel spoke, effectively stopping her.
“So, if this study involved everyone on Atlantis… that must mean you’re in here too,” Cameron teased, turned the tablet in his hand.
Elizabeth was silent as a slow, bright red flush started to color her skin, and for a moment, Cameron was afraid that he had stepped over the line. Then suddenly she smiled and snatched the tablet back from Cameron.
“That Colonel… is entirely none of your business,” she replied, but her smile and her tone made the words friendly banter, instead of a real chastisement.
Cameron leaned back, raising his hands in mock appeasement. “Just trying to make conversation. After all we’re going to be stuck together for three months.”
“That, I’m afraid Colonel, does not entitle you to know the intimate details of my life,” Elizabeth responded dryly in a dignified voice.
Cameron shrugged and grinned before Elizabeth shook her own head slightly and turned back to her reading. After several minutes of Cameron shifting restlessly in his chair, he straightened.
“So… I don’t suppose you have anymore of those laying around do you?” he asked with a nod in the direction of the study in her hands.
Elizabeth smiled…
