[ Closed to Ianto ]

[ It's shameful how long it's taken to get to this point. Things happen, he guesses, things that postpone something that should've always had top priority. All the more reason to quicken his steps, out to the store and then back to the apartment complex, knocking on a different door than the one he exited earlier that morning. Why don't they live together? He doesn't know. Doesn't care much, velvet box held tightly in his clenched fist.

If his heart could beat, it would break out through his chest. ]

He's a guy who thought it was a better idea to stab someone than use his big boy words. [ Which, normally, Spike would be 100% behind but this time was the one getting stabbed so there you go. ]

There's nothing wrong with you and if he can't see that, he's not worth your time. That goes for the rest of this sorry lot too.

[ He'll fight them. Every single one of them. ]

That is an apt description of him. [Right now at moments like this with Spike (or someone else?) he could never imagine feeling self-conscious or uneasy. But he's always going to feel nervous sharing this part of himself with strangers. It might be easier if he could just say he was gay but he falls somewhere hard to define with what he likes and that makes him question himself as well as other people's perception of him. He thought he could at least trust Sam with it.]

I'm glad you're going to be my husband. [The word feels new, like it's his first time hearing it and he has to repeat himself.] Husband.

	Husband. [ He reaches for Ianto's left hand with his own left, entangling their fingers. Plants an affectionate kiss on his knuckles. ] Has a nice ring to it, doesn't it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yes. [He smiles fondly at the rings on their intertwined fingers.] I stand by my eloping suggestion though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Then elope we will. Can't promise we'll get very far... but if you don't want anyone else involved then it'll just be you and me, pet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't want anyone but you. [Not after today. Who needs anyone else besides the two of them?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Just me and you against the world, then. [ Doesn't that feel familiar. Real familiar. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I like the sound of that. [He runs a hand lightly down Spike's face, examining the bruises.] You're sure you'll be alright? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He didn't stake me or behead me... I'll be fine. Just takes a bloody long time to heal in this dump. [ Don't stop with the touching though. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2015-07-09 11:37 pm UTC (link)
	[Oh, he will. He got most of the blood cleaned off before they got distracted earlier. Still, doing the whole stroking the hero's brow thing sounds like a pretty good alternative.] I hope you at least hit him back a few times for me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I got a few punches in, yeah... not as many as I wanted. [ It's Ianto's brother, after all. He held back. A lot. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2015-07-10 12:28 pm UTC (link)
	[He suspects Spike held back on his account and presses a light kiss one one of the uglier looking bruises.] Well I give you permission to throw as many as you want next time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

With your blessing... [ Or curse or whatever this is. He's looking forward to tearing Sam a new one. Can't have people go stabbing him all willy nilly without proper retaliation, after all.

Also, as nice as it is to be kissed on all these tender bruises, there are better places for it. Like his mouth. Maybe next time he should try and get punched in the mouth more. ]

[He can take a kissing related hint. After everything that's happened today he thinks they could both use it. And deep down maybe he doesn't want Sam to get too hurt. Maybe he'll be calmer and able to process his feelings a little better in the morning.]

Lets get some sleep. We can spend all day tomorrow planning revenge while I tell you how brave you are for confronting him and that sort of thing.

	You're always so full of good ideas. [ He burrows in close, wrapping his arms tightly around the other man. Protective, soaking up the warmth of a living body, the steady rise and fall of his chest and the soft puffs of air hitting his skin with each exhale. He's never going to grow tired of this. Ever. ] (Reply to this) (Parent)
