"Jack?" Daniel did a 360 to make sure an unforeseen enemy wasn't approaching. Confronting Jack, he placed a hand upon his shoulder, concerned how Jack was holding onto a tree for support, a layer of sweat on his forehead.

Gasping in obvious pain, Jack pointed to the zipper on his BDU. He squeaked out one word, "Help," two octaves higher than his normal range.

"Oohhh." Daniel grimaced, touching his own groin in obvious sympathy. Daniel bent down in front of Jack..."This may hurt...just a little...so sorry," Daniel said as he freed the head of Jack's penis from the offending teeth of the zipper.

"Shit, Daniel..." Jack groaned as he lowered himself to the ground.

"Want me to kiss it and make it better?" Daniel said...almost succeeding in hiding the smile that was beginning to play at the corner of his mouth. "Rub it? Ice...ice will make it feel better!" Daniel cried, cringing at the dirty look that Jack threw his way.

"Daniel, this planet is 100 degrees in the shade...ice is outta the question." Jack took Daniel's proffered hand. Very gently, Daniel eased Jack from his sitting position on the planet's ground. Daniel slipped a hand around Jack's waist, assisting his lover with his slightly stooped walking. "Love you, Jack...and don't take this the wrong way...but does this mean the hot night that you had planned for us is off?"

Carter came running up to her commanding officer upon seeing him walking slowly, hunched over in pain. "What happened," she cried.

"Jack caught some skin in a zipper, he'll be all right," Daniel said with a grin.

"Do you want me to put a band aid on it, sir?" Her face flushed suddenly when she realized what *zipper* Daniel was talking about.

"Carter, for crying out loud…I'm okay. Let's just dial home, all right?" He turned towards the Stargate, coming face to face with Teal'c.

"O'Neill, it is an honourable injury. I am confident that Doctor Fraiser will be able to assist you."

"Oh Teal'c, that makes *me* feel so much better."

"Jack, I'm sure Janet will be gentle with it...I mean you."

"She'll handle it with care, Sir,"

"That's what I'm afraid of Carter."

"Come on, Jack, it's not like she's going to put a splint on it," At Jack's glare, Daniel decided it was time to get his lover home. "Ice, Jack. She'll tell you to ice it, and maybe put some antibacterial cream." He leered at Jack and wiggled his eyebrows, "I can do that, if you want?"

Ignoring his lover, Jack asked, "Daniel, what exactly am I going to tell the general why we're 'gating back early?"

Glancing quickly at Jack, he answered, "Oh, um, just tell him that you got bitten." When Jack looked over at him, Daniel added, "by a zipper with very large teeth."
