Day 375 | Action | Closed
[Closed to Spike]

[Funny how he wakes up feelings tired after so much sleep but maybe all the dreams have left him exhausted. He remembers some of them, some are more fuzzy, just impressions of rapidly fading feelings and images. He does remember the one with Spike though, and for awhile he's happy just to lay here curled up together, watching him sleep until he wakes up.]

[Closes to Jack]

[A little while later and he makes his way back upstairs to their flat, feeling a little guilty even if it wasn't his fault he stayed away longer than he planned to. And there's the fact that even though the scratches on his back and bruise on his leg are hidden under his jeans and t-shirt there's no disguising the raw red marks on his wrists from the handcuffs. There's not much point in hoping Jack won't remark on those so he just decides to hope for the best as he lets himself in.]

[ It was a mixed bag for him, but some dreams certainly stick out as being stronger, clearer, perhaps more important. They had a good conversation and he's pretty pleased to wake up still remembering most of it. Certainly better than the one where he got staked — that one lingers as a brief panic and a quickly fading ache in his chest.

He wakes drowsy, blinks a few times to anchor himself in where he is and yes, he does feel more exhausted than he has any right to be after sleeping for well more than a full day. Ugh. ]


Creeper. [ Said with fondness. ]

Said the vampire. [He retorts with a smirk. Although after being bundled up under the covers for so long Spike's skin actually feels warm, alive, human.]

Did we sleep for a whole day? Those dreams al happened, didn't they?

[ Is that something he needs to think about now? Long hot showers before they meet? ]

As much as anything happens here. [ He stretches under the covers, working out some kinks from being on his back for so long. ] How much do you remember?

[No need to shower, he likes the vampire part. It's just different, that's all.]

Most of it, I think. At least the one I had with you. [A few bits might be a bit blurred but even if he can't remember every word that was spoken the intention and sentiment behind them remains.] Sorry about the thing with the cells.

You weren't the one who put me there. [ He doesn't think, at least. Maybe he did it himself. He knows what he is and maybe he has some baggage left to unpack from the Initiative. ]

And you let me out. That counts for a lot.

Of course I let you out. [A smile and a kiss. They probably both have a serious case of morning breath at this point but who cares?] Have any other good dreams?

[ He takes a moment to think about that, sifting through things half forgotten or that he doesn't want to dig into right now until-

He groans. ]
Jack is going to be insufferable.

I'll try and guess then. Let me know if I'm getting close. [He plows right ahead with this little game, not waiting for Spike to agree to it.] Was it a sexy dream?

A brief phone call after he first woke up alone established that Ianto was okay and still with Spike, and so he had little choice but to accept it. He knows he's got to get used to Ianto being elsewhere some of the time now.

He's feeling lethargic despite the 36 hours' 'rest' so is quite content to stay in, checking through the network and mulling over the dreams from the day before as he waits for Ianto come home.

Being okay with him being elsewhere (or trying to be) doesn't stop him standing with a big smile when he finally walks in the door, and pulling him in for a welcoming kiss. "Hey. I missed you!"

That's a good reaction, better than he was expecting and he returns the kiss eagerly, glad for contact that's real, physical, not a dream. "I missed you, too. I dreamed about you last night. That was you, wasn't it? Actually you, I mean, not just a dream of you."

He remembers their time together yesterday, more or less. There might be a few fuzzy bits or parts where he can't quite recall what they talked about but overall he has a pretty good memory of their time together.

He's not absolutely okay inside, mainly because he's still (uncharacteristically) suffering from a slight lack of self-confidence in case Ianto decides he prefers the new and exciting option with Spike after all, but he's - well, he's made his bed and now he has to lie in it. He knows this is what polyamory means and he's determined to do his very best to be grown-up about it.

So the kiss may be a little extra enthusiastic but that's about the only thing that seeps through, and he chuckles when Ianto speaks, pulling back so Ianto can see his smirk. "Over my desk in the Hub? Oh yeah, that was me! Pretty great dream, huh?" Despite the initial melancholy.

"I'm glad it was real, and not just a dream." A really good dream, something that feels like a goodbye to the way they were in the Hub. The sex back then was always good, but it was just sex, nothing more. He likes the way things have changed since then, whether it's living together or using words like love.

The moment is ruined when his stomach growls loudly and he blushes, grinning a little sheepishly before disentangling himself from Jack's arms so he can head to the kitchen. Spike doesn't have food in his apartment which he should have counted on but didn't. Plus they could probably both use some coffee after all the sleeping. He turns the machine on and let's it warm up while he grabs a slice of the pizza left over from Jack's evening with Chuck out of the refrigerator. "Did you have any other dreams?"

"Yeah, me too. Although I am still a little concerned that you actually dream about tidying up the Hub!" he teases, even as he follows Ianto through to the kitchen.

"Are you okay? Spike forget to feed you?" It's said with amusement, because that seems very Spike, and he immediately offers Ianto the remains of the box of pastries he picked up on his way home from breakfast because even bacon, eggs and pancakes at The Rusty Spoon this morning hadn't been enough to sate his appetite. "Here. This should help!"

He picks out another doughnut for himself to keep Ianto company, and nods with his mouth full. "I had loads. A whole variety." He takes a moment to consider which to talk about, and which first, but one in particular(other than the one with Spike) has kept popping back into his head. "I dreamed about the Miracle."

Pizza and doughnuts, this really is just like being back at the Hub. He finishes making the coffee and passes Jack his mug. "Funny thing about vampires is they don't eat, which I didn't really take into account." He'll bring over some food next time and leave it in the freezer, which is not the same as moving in even if it feels like an oddly serious step.

He's under orders to find out if Jack remembers the one with Spike but his comment drives that thought from his mind. "You did? Are you alright? What happened?"

Well, Jack was the one who instigated the deliveries of pizza and doughnuts way back when, so that's hardly surprising. He gives Ianto a wry look, wondering whether to comment on the fact they were obviously too busy fucking to be bothered to go out for something to eat, but decides to be tactful, since he's been there himself, more than once.

Better to focus on his dreams. "I'm fine. It's weird. I dreamed it twice - that I was standing in front of the Blessing again, with Gwen about to shoot me. The first time Martha shot me instead; the second time... I don't know who actually shot me but Chuck was there and that made it so much better. But the thing is, both times, I came back to life afterwards. Even though I didn't really expect to." He shrugs. "I don't know if it actually means anything but I can't help wondering if it means I do actually come back. That I am truly immortal again."

He can interpret that look just fine and manages not to blush, even if he's suddenly acutely aware of the raw marks on his wrists. If Jack wants to ask he knows he will, and he's decided to be as honest as he can about things. After the way he felt waking up that morning with the black band and knowing what he'd hidden from Jack he's learned his lesson.

The revelation about his dream does make him pause, looking thoughtful. "Do you really think you might be? I don't know how we'd test it out." He does know, but it's not something he wants to do and it might be hard to tell whether it's Jack's usual brand of immortality or just this place bringing him back.

Jack shakes his head. "No way of testing it here, that I can think of," he says ruefully. "Not until we're back in our proper bodies. But - you know - at least there's hope." He shrugs. "Either that or it's just my subconsious wanting to think I'll wake up again from it!"

He glances down as Ianto reaches for a pastry, and his eye falls on Ianto's wrist and, more specifically, the pretty red and purple colours circling it. His eyebrows go up and a smirk slowly spreads across his lips as he reaches for Ianto's hand to bring said wrist closer for a better inspection. "Don't tell me he had to cuff you to the bed to keep you there!"

Teasing. Totally teasing.

((OOC: Heh, I forgot he's wearing a t-shirt so those marks would be much more visible than normal! Let's just pretend Jack's a bit preoccupied!))

"Let's go with hope, not the subconscious thing." It would be nice to know Jack's back to normal. If they ever did manage to leave this place he'd be worried about him being mortal, whether or not he could shake a century of habits like taking a bullet for the team.

He lets Jack examine him, rolling his eyes fondly at the comment. "Ah yes, that's exactly what happened. Excellent deduction work as always, sir."

Jack laughs, reaching for his other hand so he can examine that wrist too. "Both hands, eh?" And metal rather than his preferred leather, judging by the bruises. He brushes a finger over the purpling marks and lifts his eyes to Ianto's face. "You're okay with being marked like this?"

Somehow, it's not something he's ever thought of, with Ianto. Love bites, sure, he knows Ianto likes those, but this is on another level entirely. He wonders how many other things he's avoided playing with just because he assumed Ianto wouldn't be into them.

Ianto lets him turn his wrists over, examining them. It's a complicated question, and he thinks he's more into it because it's the two of them. Knowing one of them is going to leave something the other will see is an unexpected turn on for him. He's almost excited for Jack to see the mark on his thigh, the scratches on his back. But even removed from that context, if it were just the two of them, he thinks he would still like it. It's like a physical indication of what they've been doing, of their feelings. Is not something he needs or always wants but it's an exciting prospect.

So he just smiles, innocently and somehow not at all. "I suppose you'll just have to leave some marks of your own and see whether I like it or not."
