“You look so beautiful today,
When you’re sitting there
It’s hard for me to look away”

~ “I Can Wait Forever” by Simple Plan

He watches her hands on the control console of his play station. She is so very talented with her hands and those oh so slender fingers (her precise movements fascinate him) that he can’t help it. He is mesmerized and can’t look away.

The images onscreen – a cartoon bear sitting in a car that Carter is controlling, and a collection of similar looking computerized opponents – barely register in his mind. While he watches her there’s nothing else that can capture his attention so intensely, apocalypses and the odd end of the world scenario being the only exceptions. Those he puts all his effort into so that he may face another day to spend with Carter. And he is rather fond of Earth, too. It would be a shame to see it go up in flames. His cabin, the lake…

He realises she has finished the round when he finds her amused blue eyes upon his. The corner of her mouth twitches slightly and then forms a wide grin.

“You’re doing well there,” he offers, smiling back at her.

She quirks an eyebrow. “How would you know?” she teases. “You’ve been too busy watching me to have been able to pay attention to the game.”

“Me? Nooo…” Jack replies.

“Sir!”

“Ah…well. There may have been a little watching. But only a little.”

“A little?” Carter sniggers.

Onscreen, her animated bear continues on a lap without her aide amongst a spray of colour.

“Or a lot,” Jack corrects. “But you are doing well. You won this round. And the last. And that move you did halfway through? Wow.”

Carter smiles slightly. “That move was pretty good.”

“See? I do more than just watch you. I also watch you playing on my play station. That’s got to count for something.”

Smirking, Carter hands him the control, her skin brushing his as she does so. She lingers a moment before pulling away.

Jack grins.

“My turn to watch,” Carter winks at him.

Gah, I thought this was a Tru/Jack fic for some reason. I'm like, "TRU AND JACK ARE PLAYING VIDEO GAMES?! COOL!" And... then not. Ah, well.

Could always swap their names in while you're reading it, think of it as one of them about them. :)
