Who: Ianto Jones and Jonathan Crane
Where: A pub in Colligo. A quiet one
What: Misteltoe and who knows what
Rating: Hard to say. Has gone to R right now, for language and sex
Status: In progress

After everything that had happened over the past few weeks, and the sudden, unexpected onset of a holiday with more than its share of unhappy memories, Ianto was more than willing to call it quits. He knew, or at least assumed, that Jack would be upset at being left alone, but there were certain occasions that just drove him to be out of the house, away from people and things he knew. He had made his way to a quiet pub in a rarely frequented part of town, and sat quietly in a corner, thoughtful but not quite brooding, nursing a pint. He didn't really want to get roaringly drunk, but sobriety held few attractions at this point, either. He took another swig from his mug and glanced around the pub, where a vaguely familiar classic rock song was playing on the jukebox.

"Compelled? That's an interesting choice of words," he noted, taking a longer drink from his mug. He nodded, taking Jonathan completely at his word. After all, in his line of work, talking to plants seemed almost normal. "I hope I'm a slightly more diverting conversationalist."

He shrugged. "Just needed to get out of the house for a bit, I suppose." He glanced over to the corner at Jonathan's words. The woman wasn't bad looking, and her long blond hair was truly stunning. "I don't really do girl shopping," he said in an offhand manner, letting Jonathan draw what conclusions he would.

He looked the man over unobtrusively. He was rather good-looking himself, although he had a slightly petulant cast to his mouth that made him look younger than Ianto guessed he really was.

"Oh really?" Jonathan said at his words, the corners of his mouth turning up into a slight smirk. "And what do you shop for, Mr. Jones? Men, plants, aliens?" Of course there were more options out there, but those were the only ones Jonathan could handle without punching Ianto.

Then again, before he met Ivy, he didn't consider plants all that sexual, so who knew what doors could be opened.

Given the way his question was avoided, Ianto assumed Jonathan didn't much want to talk about Christmas, and he was hardly going to force the issue in casual conversation.

His long association with Torchwood and with Jack made him consider the question carefully. "Just Ianto, please. Any of them, I suppose, if the situation is right. But," he said, giving Jonathan a slightly calculating look, "shopping and buying are two different things."

	Jonathan hadn't even noticed the question, having been distracted by Ianto's words, and then his more recent reply. "Oh, and should I have an interest in what you're buying?" Jonathan asked, toying with the straw of his drink, grinning at the man, before pulling the straw from his drink, licking it clean of whipped cream and blending drink.

	He watched Jonathan's mouth with, he wouldn't deny, a certain interest, finishing off his beer and definitely considering another. "That depends. Should I have an interest in what you're selling, seems more pertinent." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"And do you?" Jonathan asked, raising an eyebrow, smirking just slightly as he returned the straw to his glass, leaning in to Ianto, his lips almost touching the other man's before moving up to Ianto's ear. "Let me refresh your drink," he said, standing and heading to the bar to get Ianto another beer.

He returned after a moment with the man's beer, and a small bowl of maraschino cherries that he set on the table, slipping one into his mouth and pulling the stem free, teeth happily piercing the candy red fruit.

"I might be looking around." Ianto leaned in a bit as well, rather intrigued by how close the stranger was getting to him. "Thank you very much," he said, watching closely as the other man walked to the bar. His trousers fit extremely well, Ianto noted with a rather professional eye. And a rather unprofessional one as well. He had two, after all.

He grinned as Jonathqn returned, taking the mug and watching as he munched the cherry. "Sweet tooth?" he inquired.

"A bit, but most people don't recognize that," Jonathan said, slightly intrigued by Ianto's observation. "Most people just think I'm odd, or assume I'm hungry if I'm stuck eating a bowl of cherries, no matter how sugared they are," he added.

"So, you might be looking around to buy...anything catching your eye?" he asked, slipping another cherry into his mouth, stem and all. He pulled it free a moment later, a knot neatly tied in the stem.

"Well," he explained, "you're buying drinks, for yourself as well as others, so clearly you have the money to buy food if you want or need it. So that rules out hunger. And I'd hardly consider eating cherries to be an oddity. They're quite good, after all. Prized by some people, in fact. So the logical explanation is just that you enjoy the taste. Regular cherries can be delicious, but they have stones, and you occasionally come across one so sour as to ruin the whole experience. Maraschinos have none of those drawbacks."

He grinned darkly, eyes moving from Jonathan's to the cherry stem and back. It was only polite to maintain eye contact, after all. "A few," he said noncommittally.

"Quite brilliant, you'd made a decent detective," then again, Jonathan was acquainted with some of the best in that field. "Oh really, point them out for me?" he asked with a grin, taking another cherry and eating it, savoring the burst of sweet flavor before focusing on the stem in his mouth, carefully manipulating his tongue and teeth before pulling the stem free, a double knot twisted into the flexible fibers.

	'Really? I hadn't even considered that line of work." he glanced around the bar before his eyes were drawn back to Jonathan's mouth. "Impressive," he murmured. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Jonathan smirked. "I have many more talents tucked up my sleeve, Ianto," he said. He took a long sip of his drink before slipping two cherries into his mouth, giving a happy sigh as he rolled them over his tongue, savoring the sweet taste before swallowing.

It took him a bit longer then before, but finally he pulled the cherry stems free from his mouth, the pair tied together in a knot. "Now, shall I continue showing off?"

	"So I see." He watched with great interest, sipping his drink absently. He grinned and leaned in closer as Jonathan removed the stems from his mouth. "If you like," he said, almost casually. "You're very good at it." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	andintheendfear 2012-07-27 12:52 am UTC (link)
	"Mmm, but I'd rather put my mouth and tongue to a better use," he said, leaning in to Ianto, his tongue flickering over his lips, taunting the other man. "Unless you're opposed?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notjusta_teaboy 2012-07-27 02:17 am UTC (link)
	He leaned in as well, eyes drawn to the other man's tongue. "Depends what you had in mind," he said. "Do you play an instrument or something?" he teased, hands curled around his mug. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Jonathan rolled his eyes at Ianto's comment, closing the distance between them and kissing the other man, keeping it soft and sweet despite his earlier words, wanting to make sure the other man was fully on board with the kiss before he made any move to deepen it. He really hoped he hadn't been reading Ianto wrong and he wasn't about to get hit. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He sighed and pressed his lips to the other man's as they leaned towards each other, keeping it light at first as they felt each other out. It did feel different, kissing someone besides Jack, but certainly not unpleasant. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	andintheendfear 2012-07-27 02:52 am UTC (link)
	Jonathan smiled into the kiss, scooting closer to Ianto as to ease the strain of having to lean over to each other, his thigh pressed against the other man's as he slid his hand up Ianto's chest to his neck, toying with the fine hairs there, opening his mouth to the man (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He shifted a bit as well to make the kiss easier, definitely appreciating not having to lean in so much, He shivered a bit with the touch to his neck, sensitive there, and parted his lips slightly, one hand moving up to stroke Jonathan's hair. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Jonathan groaned softly into the kiss, his talented tongue that Ianto had admired so much before flicking against the inside of the man's lips and teeth, teasing him as he shifted his head, making it easier for them to deepen the kiss.

When Ianto shivered, Jonathan fought the urge to smirk against the kiss, running his nails lightly down the other man's neck to get another reaction from him.

	Jonathan was a very talented kisser, and he fluttered his tongue against the other man's a little bit as he pressed in closer, deepening the kiss. He shuddered harder at the light touch of nails, clearly loving the sensation. He nipped lightly at Jonathan's lower lip, seeing how he would react. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Jonathan moaned into the kiss, taking the initiative and raising up slightly, shifting their positions so he could move even closer to Ianto, wanting to slide into the other man's lap but afraid to get that close and ruin the moment.

His tongue pushed deeper into Ianto's, trying to coax his into playing as he ran his nails over Ianto's neck again, before gently tracing letters against the sensitive flesh, spelling out his alter ego's name.

He breathed in sharply, not willing to relinquish control that easily, but readily letting Jonathan move in closer, his free arm moving around him in a light embrace.

He made a small sound as he curled his tongue with Jonathan's, the kiss getting more serious. He could tell that Jonathan's fingers had moved on to something other than random stroking over his skin, but couldn't make out what he was doing.

	Jonathan moaned happily, eagerly into Ianto's mouth, threading his fingers up through Ianto's hair as he pulled the other man closer, needing the contact. His hands slid down, back across Ianto's chest, curling his fingers so that his nails raked over a nipple lightly through the cloth. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He groaned softly with the contact, eagerly shifting in closer. He gasped against Jonathan's mouth, arching sharply with the touch. "Ohhhh." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
