"Oh? And what did you have in mind, General O'Neill?" Jack pinched him in response and Daniel lightly swatted his lover's ass as payback.
"We still haven't decided where we're going to live when we both retire." Jack put his hand over Daniel's mouth. "And don't say Atlantis. That's not retirement."
Daniel smiled under his lover's hand and then pulled it away from his mouth. "I wasn't going to say that, but since what I had been going to say was insufferably sappy, I'm glad you stopped me."
"Not that again. I thought we'd agreed to never say that again." Jack tried, and failed, to look suitably disgusted.
"Hey, you said it first!" Daniel tried not to smile, but he was about as successful as Jack had been in controlling his expression. "I just happened to agree with it."
"Don't remind me. Just because something's true, doesn't mean we have to dwell." Jack closed his eyes with a sigh and caressed Daniel's hip and thigh. Daniel closed his own eyes and let Jack's even breathing and slowing caresses lull him back to sleep. He drifted happily into dreams knowing that it didn't matter where they retired as long as they were civilians together… no matter how sappy it sounded out loud.
Four times Daniel remembered he's a civilian and one time Jack reminded him. Pt. 4
