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.]

"Yeah." A big, hefty nod. He's only just starting to understand how different the Spike underneath is from the Spike-persona he lets the world see. "He won't let you in unless he trusts you, and after everything, I don't think he trusts me that much, and I don't blame him. But we're both trying. I mean, we are actually talking, these days."

And it's obvious from what happened in their shared dream that they are making progress with it.

He chuckles softly. "Yeah, I'm getting that. I've seen him freaked out by me, like when I insisted we all kiss after getting the bands, but I really haven't got the impression that any of it was about my gender. And I am trying to tone it down a bit. It's just that he tends to bring out my over-the-top side!"

"And you had a sexy dream." Don't forget that because he sure isn't going to. Quite the opposite; he's going to have a lot of fun imagining it once he's got time. And it might not be the same as trust or talking but it's a very different way to let your walls down around someone and hopefully it helps them both do that.

He smiles at the explanation. "I know you are. I don't think you need to worry, though. Be yourself. He'll respect you more for that than if you try to be something different for his sake."

He can't help laughing a bit at Ianto bringing up the dream again. He can't really blame him, since he's been spending quite a lot of time imagining their couplings too.

And looking forward to a time when he might be invited to join in.

"That's true," he agrees, giving Ianto a little squeeze. "It's definite progress! And yeah. I do kind of get that. It's just trying to work out which version of me is the real one in order to give him that! I've lived with this persona a very, very long time!"

"For the record I like every version of you," He points out, leaning in for a quick kiss that's somewhat ruined by a yawn. He grins a little sheepishly although at this point he's already accepted that getting involved with a vampire will play havoc with his sleep schedule.

"I don't know about you but I could use a shower. Come on, let's get cleaned up. And maybe if nothing too crazy happens we can test out some of those library plans later." He's rather looking forward to an uneventful day together for once.
