He'd been teaching now for almost a month and he was enjoying it immensely. His students were great - he had three classes that he lectured in on Monday, Wednesday and Friday and the good thing was, he was typically done by one in the afternoon. He'd spend two more hours in his office in case the students had questions and so that he could put grades into the computer when necessary.

It was just such an afternoon and he was waiting for Methos to come pick him up for the day - they were going out to dinner that night - when a knock at his door got his attention.

"Come in," he called out in Spanish. The door opened to reveal one of his students, a young American named Brian who was probably twenty years old if that. Brian smiled as he came in and closed the door. "What can I help you with, Brian?" Daniel continued in English.

"Well, I had some questions about your lecture on World War One," he said quietly as he sat down in front of Daniel's desk. Daniel nodded and leaned back in his chair.

"What kind of questions?"

"Well, more like observations, really," Brian said with a smile. What his professor didn't know was that Brian had fought in the first world war - for America - and then again in World War II and some of the things Daniel had spoken of, Brian either didn't remember happening or he remembered them a different way. Plus, it gave him a chance to spend time with the good looking man. Of course, Brian had seen the wedding band on Daniel's finger but that had never stopped Brian before...

"I'm glad you're alright too... when I realized Brian had sent someone here..." he cupped the sides of Daniel's face, "Well, I was worried."

"Part of me wants to be angry with you for going after him without telling me but I can't be angry because you're alive and he's dead and I'm happy for that."

"I know. I'm sorry that I didn't tell you, but... part of me didn't want you to know or be there when I took care of him."

Daniel nods and leans in closer to kiss him softly.

"It's okay. I understand..."

He kisses him back, "Thank you, love... thank you.. for just--" he kissed him again, "just being with me. For understanding me... for loving me."

"I will always love you," Daniel promised him softly. "Forever and always."

"Forever and always." he echoed, holding him close.

Daniel smiled softly and closed his eyes, easily falling into a peaceful sleep, secure in his husband's arms.
