	"To be honest, I didn't really know what it even was that had changed it all for you. All I knew was that one minute you couldn't hurt anyone and the next minute you... could." He studies Spike, thinking about it all. "You actually trusted him with his fingers inside your brain?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I wanted it out." He shrugs. People put too much trust in... well, trust. Mutual benefits tend to work better for him. Temporary truces. "Don't tell me you trust everything that gets shoved inside you?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2015-05-14 12:17 pm UTC (link)
	Touché. He grins, showing his teeth. "I trust the people doing the shoving. Mostly." Oh yeah, there have definitely been occasions where he's been desperate enough not to worry too much about safety or the intentions of the other person. Temporary truces. He gets it.

	There are three ways this can go down. He could either ignore it and change the subject, which will never ever happen. He could act all grossed out and give Jack more material to work with, which is getting old. Or... he could bring it right back to what started this whole thing. The secret. "And here I didn't think you cared." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2015-05-17 11:02 am UTC (link)
	He chuckles. "Oh, Spike, Spike, Spike, I care all right. Or at least, my libido does. You do know that." Even without secrets being spread throughout the Dome like wildfire. His gaze is fairly candid, warm even, but his eyebrows go up a bit as he adds, "Doesn't mean I trust you, though." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's true. Hearing that Jack has the hots for him isn't exactly news. He's felt the comforting press of a needy erection during their fights enough times to know that but it's still different to see it out there black on white. "Maybe there's hope for you still." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Thanks," he says dryly, and yeah, it does feel weird to finally have this out there - to have actually said it. In the long run, it might not change anything physically, given the rules of the prison, but it might lead to a new level of their relationship, perhaps - a new level of candour, a deeper connection?

Or then again, perhaps Spike's enough of a rebel still that it won't.

He shrugs, and takes a sip of his now cool enough coffee. "So, what have you been up to lately? Found anything else to stave off the boredom?"

"Not really." He shrugs, clearly displeased with the state of his life here in the godforsaken fishbowl.

"Shagging, drinking... that's about it. Most of the fun people are gone. Not a whole lot left to do around here."

Aside from teaching Jack's boytoy how to protect himself, obviously. That's certainly a thing that happened and will probably continue to happen, as long as Ianto's up for it. A weird friendship, that.

Yeah... Jack doesn't know about the thing with Ianto yet. It's going to be interesting to see what his reaction will be when he does find out...

He gives Spike a droll look. "I'm glad you said most of the fun people are gone." He definitely puts himself into the category of fun!

"Though yeah, it is starting to get a bit empty around here, isn't it? Perhaps the AIs are coming towards the end of their experiment - though I'm not sure whether that's a good thing or not!"

	"That they're ending it? Good. That we're still here? Really not." He's not sure what to think but the brush in with the Initiative was enough to teach him that if you get stuck with mad scientists, get out as quickly as you can. This is not quick. "I don't know about you but I've been ready to leave for a while now." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2015-05-31 10:44 am UTC (link)
	Jack darts him a quick look. "Depends on where leaving would actually take us. Just sleeping in a pod doesn't sound like much of an improvement, and frankly, neither does ending up where I was before." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2015-05-31 12:53 pm UTC (link)
	He quirks a brow, taking a moment to look Jack over. He's not surprised, per se, but it is interesting to hear that the great big hero is... well. "Aren't you working with the Force to find a way out of here?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2015-05-31 06:56 pm UTC (link)
	He gives Spike a dry look. "Absolutely." Sometimes. "I want to get out. I just don't want to go home." No home left there. Not any more. He hadn't been anywhere he'd called home even before the AIs abducted him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2015-06-02 09:20 am UTC (link)
	It's not something he feels a need to argue. There's plenty of people here that don't want to go home, or can't, or wait for death the moment they go. Rose, for instance. He's offered to take her to Sunnydale but who knows if that's a good idea. "So where would you go?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2015-06-04 08:44 pm UTC (link)
	Jack shrugs. "Anywhere. Anywhere that's not Earth, at least." He inclines his head as he expands on his point. "Wherever Ianto would like to see. Hitch a lift on a passing ship and go out and explore the universe, together." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

There's a sting of something that can only be described as jealousy, although that's not entirely right either. Longing, maybe. He used to have that and wasn't life so much easier back then? Before Sunnydale. Before Buffy, before saving the world when he could just grab Dru, get in a car and hit the gas until they were someplace else. Just go.

"Sounds nice." He aims for nonchalance and misses by a mile.
