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.]

	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? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ 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? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2016-05-09 04:30 pm UTC (link)
	[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. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2016-05-09 04:41 pm UTC (link)
	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? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2016-05-09 04:49 pm UTC (link)
	[ 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. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh is he? [Smirking is an understatement for his expression. Details, please.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2016-05-09 05:05 pm UTC (link)
	[ Oh no, you're not getting that out of him so easily. ] Speaking of, shouldn't you be scurrying back up to him? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2016-05-09 06:06 pm UTC (link)
	Not until I find out more about this mysterious dream of yours. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2016-05-09 06:45 pm UTC (link)
	There's nothing you need to know. [ Maybe Jack won't remember. Wouldn't that be great? ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2016-05-09 06:52 pm UTC (link)
	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? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2016-05-09 06:54 pm UTC (link)
	[ He'll just bury his face in the pillow, groaning in annoyance. Why are you like this? Why did you choose to be this person? ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2016-05-09 07:02 pm UTC (link)
	[Because there are only so many beautiful heartfelt conversations they can have before someone has to be a jerk. He snickers at the reaction.] Right, so it was a sexy dream. But did you actually have sex is the next question? I'm going to guess you did. Am I right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2016-05-09 07:15 pm UTC (link)
	[ See if he sets up a romantic evening ever again (he will). ] Yes! Yes, of course we bloody did! He's Jack! [ Goddamn irresistable in the long run. ] Happy now? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2016-05-09 07:21 pm UTC (link)
	I'd be happier with some details but I can guess at those too, if you'd like. [What fantastic fun he is having here.] Did you enjoy it at least? Even with me giving you a hard time about it now? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2016-05-09 08:04 pm UTC (link)
	Careful, or that's the only hard time you'll be getting around here for awhile. [ Not as unkind as he could be. Yes, he enjoyed it. He needs some time to come to terms with that and he's not exactly looking forward to seeing Jack anytime soon, especially not since he kept Ianto past his curfew. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Promises promises. [He still looks amused beyond words at all this, but he knows when to stop. He does lean in for another kiss though, one just intense enough to make it clear he's not jealous about whatever's developing between them. As far as he's concerned it's about damn time.] Want me to test the waters out a bit, try and see if he remembers it too before you talk to him about it?

	chipswiththat 2016-05-09 08:23 pm UTC (link)
	[ Oh. Okay. He can live with this, he guesses, pushing into the kiss with the intensity of a man who wants to forget parts of the night and remember others in perfect detail. One guess to what he wants to remember. ] Alright... but don't give anything away. Best that he doesn't remember. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I'll do my best to be subtle. [He means it, even if he thinks it might be for the best if they did both remember. There's bound to be some awkwardness no matter how their relationship evolves but having their first time be a dream might make it a bit easier.

The thought of dreams makes him run a hand gently along the side of his face, still close even if they're not kissing anymore.] That was good yesterday, whatever it was. I liked getting to see Sunnydale.

	[ He's honestly not sure what is better. It'd be nice to forget all that happened, because he knows what Jack will do with it, but on the other hand it would smooth things over to have their first go out of the way. There's no good solution, here. ] Good... someone should see it. It won't be standing for much longer. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2016-05-09 09:06 pm UTC (link)
	[Its something they will have to work out on their own. He's smart enough to know when to stay out of something and this looks like a prime example.] The Hub, too. Even if it wasn't as nice. It's still good to know you saw it. [It makes explaining Torchwood easier now. He has a better understanding of it, the good and the bad.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

It was... informative. Knowing that. [ It's mostly bad, from where he's standing. Not just the cells, the whole thing, the people it chews up and spits out. He can understand that it's an important part of Ianto's life but that just makes it sadder. ]

Makes me wish I could've met you back then... and yes, I know it wouldn't be the same. A bloke can dream, can't he?

	readystopwatch 2016-05-09 09:35 pm UTC (link)
	I like meeting here. I think it's a better place than where I was, and maybe that's good for both of us. [He doesn't think Spike would have liked him at Torchwood, actually in action. It feels a bit weird, worrying about a vampire thinking you're a monster but it's very true.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2016-05-09 09:42 pm UTC (link)
	Maybe. [ Definitely. ] But this is all we'll have. Can't take you to mardi gras in New Orleans from here. Can't watch the sun rise over the Great Wall. Can't do a lot of things. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2016-05-09 09:50 pm UTC (link)
	You couldn't watch the sunrise anyway. You'd catch on fire. [Trust him to kill the romance. He relents a bit and smiles.] We'll have to find other things here, then. Other experiences. I can be happy with those as long as you're around. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
