Daniel had told him he needed to appreciate nature more.
Daniel – the guy who spent three quarters of his day holed up in his office under a mountain; the man who almost always had his nose in a book, or was glued to the computer screen, or was running to this place and that researching some artifact.
Daniel had not so politely reminded him that he had years of experience in the field. "In case you had forgotten, I am an archaeologist. It's my job to appreciate things."
Ah, things. Not nature. And Daniel had conveniently left out the part where he had to destroy nature in order to appreciate the things.
Jack appreciated nature. He fished. He didn't litter – too much. He had a cabin in the Minnesotan woods, for cryin' out loud.
Which was where he was now.
Jack remained still as he gazed at the half shut blinds in his cabin's bedroom. It was that time right before dawn where normally he'd either be trying to sleep off the morning or more likely getting up to fish.
That was the normal schedule. Things...weren't so normal anymore. Nor had they been for a long time.
Daniel had told him he needed to appreciate nature more.
From where Jack was resting, he could see the sun poking out over the horizon, obscured in part by the thick woodland that surrounded his cabin. It wouldn't be long until it spilled over the quiet lake and warmed the cold earth.
It was warm inside.
Jack shifted, arching his back as he tried to work out all the kinks in his body. He knew he'd be fine once he actually lumbered out of bed and got moving, but...this was his favorite part.
The sunlight began to stream through the slits of the blinds in strong, concentrated beams until they flushed out and widened, coursing over the bed sheets in warm waves and ripples. Jack could feel the heat on his toes as it spread upward and shook away the chill of night. He breathed out, relishing the tingle it brought to his skin.
Daniel had told him to appreciate nature more.
Jack watched silently as the sunrays bathed Daniel in a soft glow. The light traveled over the contours of his bare body, sinking into the grooves of his sculpted shoulders, while dipping and pooling at the small of his back. The light seemed to fix onto his skin and mold itself around the taunt muscles that were hidden just beneath the surface. Like a sponge, Daniel soaked in the light. Jack felt the warmth as it bled through Daniel and seeped into him.
As the sun broke from the horizon and its light flooded the cabin, Daniel finally stirred. Sleepily, he lifted his head off of Jack's chest and braced himself on the bed, pausing long enough to squint and glare at Jack through sandy eyes.
"What are you doing?" Daniel asked hoarsely.
"Why, I'm appreciating nature."
"Pervert," Daniel mumbled before collapsing back onto Jack.
Jack smiled, not at all bothered by the comment. Why should he be? Daniel had pressed his body closer, his lips grazing Jack's neck.
Jack decided he needed to appreciate nature more often.
