[carpe] anOTP:Jackson

[misborncat]

Asato rolls his shoulders, pausing in his daily chores of checking and resetting traps while gathering wild fruits and vegetables for supper. He can feel the heat building, knows that he will have to do something to take care of it, but for now, it only forces him to strip to his waist in the humid summer air in an attempt to cool off.

It was a nice afternoon at least...

Well, in the process of diving, guess what happened to Daniel?

Did he loose his glasses?

Miraculously, no.

Did he lose his shorts?

You bet he did.

The're floating up right over his head as he resurfaces.

Asato has no clothes on to lose and so pops up without any trouble.

The boxers are something new though and do catch his eye as he reaches to pick them up.

[digging-giza.livejournal.com]

Which leads to a very comical situation, at least for the typist.

Daniel resurfaces, only to find Asato holding his underwear.

He can't help but laugh, though.

Nerves can be blamed.

Asato blinks, then smiles and laughs softly as well. "Sorry." He holds them out. "You lost these."

[digging-giza.livejournal.com]

"Not that they're very useful at this point," Daniel replies, and really, he secretly enjoys the comfort of being nude in the water.

So he balls them up, then throws them to the shore, and grins at Asato.

That makes Asato brighten and he lightly splashes Daniel before moving back. "It's better to swim without them too."

[digging-giza.livejournal.com]

That comment makes Daniel extremely aware of his own danglies, but also of the fact that Asato has some.

It's unsettling, but not in a bad way.

The cat gets splashed back.

Asato chuckles and shakes the water from his hair, letting his ears flick. "Do you play like this where you're from, Daniel Jackson?"

[digging-giza.livejournal.com]

"Of course," he replies. "Though myself, not so much."

He makes a face.

"All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy."

[misborncat.livejournal.com]

The reference, of course, goes right over Asato's head. "Then it's good you're not Jack. And you're not dull either. But, it is good to play every now and again."

[digging-giza.livejournal.com]

And Daniel was so proud of himself!

Asato really does remind him of Teal'c by his alien-ness. (Of course, Teal'c would find the current situation very undignified.)

That thought makes Daniel chuckle.

"It very much is. I have some friends back home who would agree," Jack, actually. "And others who could do with learning a few things from you."

"I don't have much to teach, but if it makes you smile, then I am happy," Asato says, pleased that Daniel is having fun.
