He wants to protest, wants to say something about how Ianto will get over it, probably faster than he expects and Spike can burn some bridges really efficiently if need be but at the end of it all... that's not what he wants. This, whatever it's supposed to be, is the best thing that's happened to him since Rose left. Maybe even longer. It's made him a better person, he thinks, and if anyone needs that encouragement it's him.

"I don't know." Quietly, followed by a drag on the cigarette. "Getting closer implies knowing where we're supposed to be. What if we're just kidding ourselves with this?"

He considers that, head on one side. "Well, maybe we need to choose where we're trying to go?" A small, wry, smile. "Perhaps we need to decide one way or the other: forget the sex and try to build at least some measure of friendship, or just accept that the attraction is all there is and just fuck each other already!" He grins. "For the sake of putting it simply, your way or mine! Meeting in the middle - or trying to - seems to be just frustrating both of us!"

He thinks about this for a moment. Building a friendship while navigating this sexual tension — legalized at that — seems practically impossible but maybe going about it in the other way could end with them getting both. Sex and friendship. A relationship, or whatever you want to call it. Maybe they're done talking and should just get to the doing, see where it takes them. Can't be much more frustrating than this, right?

Stubbing out the cigarette, he finally responds.

"Tomorrow. My place. Bring a crucifix, I'll bring the whiskey."

He waits, a lot less anxiously than he would ever have expected a few weeks ago. In some ways, the urgency for sex with Spike has dulled over time, thanks to the shared dream and, yes, getting to know Spike as a man. When they first got the blue bands, the sex was mostly all he could think of, but now? Now, it's just one part of the equation, and he's more concerned with just making sure he and Spike can make things work for Ianto's sake than he is about getting in Spike's pants.

Which means, he actually does a bit of a double take when Spike comes out with what he does. "You're sure?" he asks, keeping his voice as steady as he can while his heart does a bit of a leap in his chest.

"We're overdue."

So yeah, he's sure. The idea of having sex with Jack came months before he even befriended Ianto, long before the soul and all that other bollocks that threatened to snuff out any chance of any kind of friendship between them. Getting it out of the way, so to speak, might clear the air enough to get the rest in order too. Righten the imbalance, in a way.

He laughs, relaxing. "I guess we are."

And there's definitely some relief mixed in with the excitement that (inevitably) trickles through him. It might not change things that much, but sex is the best way he knows to feel close to someone and, hell, even if it doesn't do that at least it's got to be more fun than getting frustrated trying to talk to each other!

"It's a date, then," he agrees, with an incline of his head, and then grins, wickedly. "Try not to wear yourself out too much with Ianto tonight, eh?"

	That's rewarded with such a long, pointed look that it's a miracle Spike isn't still in that same spot, working on the length and pointyness of it. Seriously, Jack? Starting foreplay so soon? "You're severely underestimating my stamina, Jack." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He's Jack. It's what he does. He can't help laughing at that look. "You do know I was only teasing, right?" Entirely good-natured teasing, at that. It's amazing how much happier he feels, and it's not even so much about having something to look forward to with Spike at last as just feeling like they've actually finally agreed on something!

	"I'm not." Yeah, let that keep you company tonight. He smirks, stubs out the cigarette and turns to be on his merry way. It is a relief, having an actual plan and time set aside to get this done, finally. Hopefully it'll be enough. (Reply to this) (Parent)
