The Library (2/24/2006)

Janet yawned as she flipped on the library lights. She hadn't gotten much sleep last night.

Janet started relaxing more against Daniel's chest. "I was career military, remember?" she asked. "I wasn't about to bring it up to anyone. Not even Sam. I guess I didn't even think about telling you when we got here, and you're right. I should have. I wasn't trying to keep that from you, it just never really came up in daily conversation."

Daniel chuckled slightly. "Well, I'm thinking that would have been a pretty odd daily conversation if it had come up," he said. "I'm now trying to think of a secret of my own to tell you in response."

"You have secrets?" asked Janet. "You seem like a fairly open guy. Yes, what would I have said? 'Hi, Daniel. How were classes today? By the way, I'm attracted to women.'"

"I cheated on a math test when I was eight?" Daniel suggested lightly. He snickered. "That could have been one way, I guess."

"Oh, no! How horrible of you. We'll have to revoke your security clearance." She giggled. "One slightly shocking way to do it. It's not that I was looking for the right time, really, it's just that there was never a way to bring it up gracefully." Janet gave him a hopeful look. "You know, a backrub might help me relax and soothe my headache."

"Ha! It's too late for that," Daniel laughed.

"I'm sure I can oblige with that," he smiled at her, moving his arm away and shifting more towards the side. "Turn around then."

"They'll never do it," said Janet. "You know too many alien languages."

"Oh, you're wonderful," breathed Janet, scooting so her back was facing Daniel. She twisted her hair up in a messy bun to keep it off her shoulders, and grabbed a pencil from her backpack to stick through her hair and hold it in place.

"Only," Daniel paused for a moment to try and count. "Yeah, too many," he agreed.

Daniel gently placed his hands at the bottom of her neck. "You know, this would be so much easier if you had your shirt off," he whispered in her ear, grinning.

Janet laughed. "One would be one too many. But no one speaks them better than you."

"Would it?" she asked, glancing back over her shoulder at him. "Are you sure about that?" She toyed with the edges of her hem.

"Gratiam habeo," Daniel replied, grinning.

"Well, I've always found massages work much better on bare skin..."

"I can only guess that means 'thank you," she said.

"If you'd like even more of an excuse," said Janet. "I could cite medical research at you on the benefits of skin-to-skin contact." She pulled her shirt off and glanced back at him again. "Better?"

"You'd be guessing correctly," he grinned.

Daniel found himself staring at her bare back. "Um. Yeah. Are you sure you have to be in the library all day?"

"You did ask," Janet reminded him. "And yes, I really do. All the way through sixth period, and then I have my TA meeting at the end of the day."
