Author's Summary:

They’re on a date. This is a date. How in the hell did he not know this was a date?

Why This Must Be Read:

Just a cute fic about an oblivious Jack going out with Sam and not realizing it was a date. Jack gets lucky and gets to redeem himself.

It’s late in the evening when they head in the direction of his somewhat unpacked apartment, their stomachs full of pizza and beer as they amble along the sidewalk. The familiar company has been more than welcome given how out of place he feels in this bureaucratic city. He’s honestly not sorry that she’s got a heck of a commute happening for all her project briefings—Nevada’s not exactly a hop, skip and jump away.

Tonight’s catch-up with her has been fun and easy. It’s good to see that she’s more than capable of genuinely smiling again after everything that's happened these past few months.

He’s in the middle of telling her exactly how much junk he had to toss in order to allow for the downsize he’s made, when he feels the back of her fingers brush against his as they walk. Embarrassingly it’s not until her fingertips touch the inside of his hand, gently sweeping from his palm to rest between the gaps of his fingers, that things fall into place.

The nice dress she’s wearing.

The thing she’s got going on with her hair.

The slightly darker-than-usual shade of color on her lips.

Oh crap.
