1) Losing his pants. Okay--so it's happened. Exactly twice--well, three times if you count the thousand times washed Levi 501's that ripped in high school just like his Nana said they would, right across the ass so his left cheek was hanging and he had to lose them and wear gym shorts the rest of the day. But there's that James Bond line he can't get out of his head about twice being supicious. It's kicked up some paranoia. He tells himself no way can it be an Asgard plot--and, please God, make it so they don't have hypersensative hearing in those pinhole ears, and aren't carrying a grudge about that crack he made about expectin' pants when he met them. But it's a little freaky how wide Sam's smile get each time he's half naked. And she's pretty tight these days with Hermiod.
2) Losing Sam. He'd rather loose the pants. Hell, he'd rather lose anything. Except maybe SG-1. But Sam's so much a part of that that, the way he figures, you lose one, you lose the other. And the rest of the world's not gonna be far behind.
3) Losing Daniel. Sure, everyone's done it. O'Neill more than once. No one brings up any of those times, though, because the guy also got Jackson back. But Sam sure as hell lost Daniel to her Lego-block self. And Teal'c--okay, stuck there, 'cause Teal'c has never been careless like that, not with Jackson. But Teal'c also never had to order the guy around in the field. And he is the guy who lost Jackson his wife. Forever. About every other officer tagged with the guy has managed to screw this up, get the guy killed or MIA or ready for the first civilian Purple Heart. No way does Cam want to be the one who draws the duty when Jackson runs out of his get-out-of-death free cards. So he's just gonna be extra careful with the man.
4) Losing Teal'c's respect. He's busted his balls--and a few bones, not all of them his--to earn one of those 'you are cool as well' head inclines. It won't take much to blow it. Which is why the fear that his pants going one too many times will leave him nothing but a dumb-ass Jaffa joke. And loosing Sam or Daniel would not only zero anything he's earned, but it'd end with something so far from respect that he doesn't ever want to know. But if he looses either of those two, he'll go looking for Teal'c. Because he'll deserve whatever's coming.
5) Having someone say, "You're no O'Neill." He wakes from nightmares with those word echoing. It's dumb. Of course he's not that guy. But someday someone's gonna call him on it, gonna spill the truth they all know, and he's not sure what the team's gonna think. He's not even sure he's hiding it all that well from them. Trouble is, his Jonesing to lead SG-1 outweights any fear. But if Vala ever says it, he is not gonna be responsible for what happens.
