Word Count: 357
Summary: Daniel contemplates the view rather than dwell on the situation
Daniel lay propped up against the crates in the cargo hold of the Goa’uld ship, a folded blanket cushioning him from the sharp corners. Jack sprawled next to him, lying half across his body. The whole the universe stretched out before them through the window in the side of the ship, endless stars in the velvety black of deep space.
“Beautiful, isn’t it?” Daniel said.
Jack looked up into his face and smiled. “That’s what I love most about you.”
“What?”
Jack gestured to the vast view. “Even after everything we’ve seen and been through. Even in the current situation. You can still find beauty somewhere.”
Daniel ran his fingers through Jack’s silver hair. “And you can’t?”
In answer, Jack reached up and traced a finger down Daniel’s cheek and along his jaw. “You’re all the beauty I see.”
“Wow.” Daniel chuckled. “You must really think we’re going to die, if you’re getting sappy on me.”
“Engines are dead. Radio’s broken. Nobody knows where we are.” Jack dropped his hand back down to his side, reaching beneath his jacket. He shifted position and winced. When he brought his hand back out again, his fingers were sticky with blood. “At least I’ll go first. Sorry to be selfish about it, but it is what it is.”
Daniel tightened his grip on Jack’s shoulders, as if holding him close would stop him slipping away.
“Don’t give up on me, Jack. Sam’ll find us.”
Jack smiled again, though there were lines of pain evident on his face. “She doesn’t even know she needs to look.”
“Doesn’t matter.” Daniel wasn’t prepared to relinquish hope. “She’ll find us. She always does.”
“Okay, Daniel.” Jack’s voice sounded fainter. “You’re right. Sam’ll find us.”
He sighed and Daniel felt his weight relax. He took hold of Jack’s hand before it could fall to the floor of the cargo hold. He brought it up to his lips and kissed Jack’s palm.
“Damn right I’m right. You’ll see.” He looked out at the stars again, searching for any sign of rescue in the infinite blackness. “And at least we have an amazing view while we wait.”
