Practice makes perfect

pepper: Pepperpot (WOO kissage)

I've finished a story so fluffy you could put a bell on it and call it Tinkles. I haven't sent it to my beta yet, but I will... soon...

It's set during Window of Opportunity, and largely features kissage. Or attempted kissage.

Anyhow, here's a sample:

-----

Jack rubbed his sweaty palms against his BDU pants, taking the stairs two at a time to the control room. There was Sam – and there too was George Hammond. This was unfortunate, as Teal'c would say, but ultimately irrelevant.

"Colonel," acknowledged the general. Jack nodded a greeting.

"Sir. Carter, stand up."

Military training brought her to her feet before her brain kicked in. "Sir?"

Jack walked right up to her. "No consequences," he muttered to himself. The minute Daniel had said that, one thing had flashed into his brain. Well, two things, but he wasn't going to do the second – it just seemed wrong. Okay. Right. He steeled himself, and took her abruptly by the shoulders. Leaned forward to kiss Sam Carter.

Only she wasn't there.

The moment she'd understood his intention, she'd scuttled backwards, leaving him looking – and feeling – very foolish indeed.

"Sir!"

"Colonel O'Neill?"

Ulp. That would be the general. Carter was staring at him, wide-eyed. "Um..." he said. Boy, this wasn't how he'd intended to spend the rest of this loop. Fortunately, then end was due any second.

"Colonel *O'Neill*!"

Sam's eyes narrowed in sudden suspicion. Double ulp. She sure could look scary when she was pissed. "Were you just trying to kiss me?"

Come on, come on, where was a bowl of Froot Loops when you needed it? "Uh... maybe?"

"It's because of the time loops, isn't it? You were going to do it because nobody would remember!" The guilty look on his face was enough to confirm her suspicions. "You son of a-"

#FLASH#

"...Anyway, I'm sorry, but that just happens to be the way I feel about it. What do you think?"

Sam and Daniel stared at him curiously. There was no hint of knowledge in her eyes.

"Colonel? Is something wrong?"

Jack breathed a sigh of relief. For a minute there, he'd thought he was in trouble.
