Untitled Stargate ficlet - het, angst, rated teen+

[theeverdream]

They'd been married for ten weeks when Valentine's Day came. He took her to a wonderful restaurant and gave her the beautiful necklace she'd been wanting, roses and all the chivalry she'd grown up dreaming of.

At home later, in the dark, she reached for him, wrapped her palm around him.

A moment passed, and another, quiet and unchanging, while she tried to make him feel good.

"Is it okay," he asked, closed-off and awkward, "if we don't tonight?"

There hadn't been much wine, he hadn't lately seemed too stressed....

"It's okay, John," Nancy lied. "Go to sleep."

I just reread this and your first six words just blew me away (after the rest of the fic).

It makes me wonder just how far they both had to travel to be cordial to each other when they meet in Outcast. Anyway, considering the shocking lack of proper backstory for John's character, it just gives us all more to speculate on.

Aw thank you so much for mentioning that - I gave that specific amount of time some thought. I really appreciate your comment!! :)

Well ... that and Valentine's Day. Ask me about all the lovely jewellery I have and memories of getting dressed up for ::coughs delicately:: romantic dinners (aka presenting such a facade) with someone who couldn't be bothered to even read ONE sex book I'd given him.
