Fic, Picking up guys at the bar, Sam/Martouf/Lantash, NC-17, 3/6

[hathor_girl]

 ~We could have worn our undercover costume.~ I tell Lantash. ~They had some resembling it, just of inferior quality - as is this, though it is better than most we saw.~

~Yes, you were right. I admit it. Happy?~ Lantash grumbles. ~This is warmer, though.~

~True.~ I admit.

We're wearing black pants, black shoes, a black shirt, and a shiny red vest, as well as a black cape with red lining. We also have on a pair of very red fake horns, of the material they call 'plastic'. We are supposed to be dressed as a demon of some kind, I think. I believe Lantash is probably correct, that it is a ritual meant to ward off evil spirits.

~Of course I am right!~

I sigh. Lantash can be trying at some times! I still love him, of course.

It is late evening, around two hours before midnight, so we decide it is time to find some place the locals are celebrating. We have eaten one of the light dinners comprised of what they call a 'sandwich' here on this world - it is simply two slices of bread, with some meat, vegetables, and sometimes cheese between. They are usually agreeable food, something which it can otherwise be hard to find. The food on this world often seems to contain too much fat and strange chemical compounds.

We walk down the street, and spot a place that is called 'The Green Rose'. It is heavily adorned with the appropriate ritual decorations, and there are happy people in the religious vestments coming in and out, so we decide it is probably a good place.

Sam POV

I take a sip of my drink - a 'Hurricane' this time - and turn to see a very handsome young man entering the bar. I don't know if I am drunk or what, but I think he is probably the most attractive man I have ever seen! He is wearing some sort of devil-outfit, giving him a bit of a bad buy look. Otherwise, he looks very kind and nice, just the man to take home to your parents...but with a bad buy touch, perhaps? I like the combination!

Now, should I approach him? He doesn't seem to be here with anyone, but perhaps he is meeting up with friends later? Or worse, a girlfriend!

I decide to wait for a little while, and observe him at a distance, before I approach him. Maybe I should get some more to drink... I take a big gulp from my drink.

When I put down my glass, I suddenly have...a vision...a flash of memory, I realize. To my shock I realize I recognize the man! Jolinar knew him! How can this be the case?

He is on Earth...is he someone from Stargate Command? No, I immediately know that's not the case. I would have remembered if I had seen him before, ever! Instead I remember Jolinar meeting him. That's too weird to contemplate. Is he an alien? I mean, has he travelled here from another planet? I really hope he is not a bad guy here to spy on us, or do us harm in any way, because that would just break my heart.

But is he's an alien, then why is he here? How? And why is he dressed up for Halloween? With obvious plastic devil horns? No alien would even think of doing that!

Where has Jolinar met him? I get another memory flash, of him grinning, then of him smiling the most charming smile I have ever seen - or remember someone else seeing, I guess. My heart starts beating faster as he suddenly sees me, and gives me just that smile!

I think I am falling for him, and I have never even talked to him! What is wrong with me? I have never believed in things like love at first sight!

Martouf POV

~There is certainly a lot of people in here,~ Lantash remarks.

~I agree. Hopefully, there will be someone who has knowledge of the chaapa'ai, or the group that access it.~

~Maybe, in any case, the people in here seems to be imbibing a lot of alcohol. Drunk people may talk when sober people would not, so we can perhaps get them to tell us something they would not otherwise have. I believe this is a good opportunity.~

We move towards the place where they seem to be selling the alcoholic beverages. It is difficult to get to it, as many people are trying to buy at the same time. Suddenly, we spot a young woman with blond hair, dressed in Egyptian style clothing. She is beautiful, and I cannot stop myself from smiling at her.

~Have you seen her, Lantash! She is beautiful!~

~Yes, yes she is. Very much so.~

We both stare at her for a moment, then tear our gaze away, realizing it is impolite to stare. ~She resembles Rosha somewhat.~

~She does. Martouf, I had not thought I would react so, to seeing an attractive woman. It is less than four months since our Jolinar died, and only a month ago that we learned our mates are dead. We should not feel such interest for another so soon.~

~No, no we should not. We did fear them dead long before that, though, and in a way we had started to mourn them. Still, it would be wrong to pursue another already...not that I think it would be a good idea regardless. This is a planet that seems to know nothing of the Goa'uld in general, and only few know of the existence of aliens and other worlds.~

Lantash 'sighs'. ~True. I am sure she would be disgusted by me.~

~Then I would surely have no interest in her!~ I throw a look at the beautiful woman again. ~I cannot think someone so pretty could think something so evil.~

~Orders something to drink. The servant is waiting for you.~

"I would like to have...one of those." I point at the drink the blond beauty is drinking.

"A hurricane. Coming right up."

~Sure you don't mean you'd like to have her?~ Lantash taunts.

I ignore him, and when I have paid for the drink, I approach the beautiful woman, unable not to. We need to talk to someone in here, and it can just as well be her as someone else, right?

There is a lingering feeling of guilt, though - it was only a few months ago that our beloved Jolinar died. I should not be interested in other women already, but something is drawing me to this woman, and Lantash feels the same attraction. Yes, we feel as one, but usually it should take a little while for our emotions to synchronize, but here we are both falling for her at the same time. It is... a powerful feeling, coming from both of us.

I guess we had better hope she is attracted to us as well, or I fear we will suffer from heartbreak.
