_{[ True, another day would be best, especially since he hadn't even spoken of that particular reasoning with Spock and Bones. He simply didn't discuss things like that with other people. He never had. He had learned, early, to repress those things and work through them. Speaking them... well, it wasn't worth going into. ]}

Even if you don't have sex, relationships can get messy.

_{[ He's rolling his eyes very hard, but shudders when his fears are confirmed. ]}

Guess it's a good thing I didn't go in for a kiss earlier.

_{[ And he had been very tempted to, make no mistake Jack Harkness. ]}

Yep. [He knows all about messy relationship, although to be fair most of his have involved sex, or at least UST!

He frowns a moment.] Actually, sorry, black bands don't mean you literally can't touch anyone at all. They just react if you get at all excited and fling you away from each other. [Which, with the way he'd felt about seeing Ianto again after watching him die in his arms before he arrived here, had been pretty much the same thing as not being able to touch anyone.]

And you don't get them for just kissing. Kissing's virtually encouraged here, really, given the Mistletoe Bot day we get every fifty days or so! They just don't want you doing more than fooling around unbanded. You're okay as long as you don't get anywhere near orgasm.

_{[ Well, so had most of his honestly. And there had been quite a few messy ones, including that one he had used to hack a computer program that one time...

That explanation didn't make him feel better Jack, and he gives you a very unimpressed look. Or maybe it's directed at this whole place. Probably the latter, given the way things had been going.

He lets out another frustrated sigh, looking less shocked now and more peeved. ]}

Well, this certainly forces a change in my usual romancing style.

[He reads the look, and responds with a rueful smile. He is so there with you, buddy.]

Yeah, me too. [A faint shrug.] Although in some ways it's actually worked out for me. My boyfriend always used to be very patient with my sleeping around, but he's a lot happier here knowing I'm not getting it on with anyone else.

It might have been a different matter if he hadn't been here, though. It's one thing agreeing to monogamy for him, but quite another not to be able to go all the way in a casual one night stand.

_{[ Kirk nodded his understanding, even if he had never had a very serious relationship in his life. ]}

I can't say I know entirely what that's like. Jumping around the universe into the great unknown doesn't exactly encourage long term relationships.

_{[ He flashes the other a wry, teasing little smile. He respected that Jack was taken, but that didn't mean he wouldn't flirt and tease the other a little. He seemed open to it, and he was certain they were both on the same page that it was no longer serious, just an aspect of their natures. ]}

Guess I'll just have to dream about that kiss.

[He chuckled at the first part because he might be in a serious relationship now, but when he was a Time Agent? He'd been oh, so very much like Kirk.] Yeah, I used to be like that too. Never staying in one place long enough to stay with anybody? It can be hard, even while it's enjoyably freeing too.

[And then he flat out laughed when Kirk finally came out and said he'd have liked a kiss. Because after all, as he'd said, kissing, as long as there was nothing more to it, was fine. Practically encouraged by the wardens, in fact!

He smirked knowingly as he glanced about for Ianto, finally finding him in the middle of the floor with Spike, and his eyes widened as, after a moment, he realised that they were doing a whole lot more than just dancing!

Well, in that case, he was sure Ianto wouldn't mind him indulding himself just a little...]

Oh well, if it's a kiss you're after, I can certainly oblige there! [Blue eyes dancing as brought up one warm hand to palm Kirk's jaw and leans in. He was keeping a close eye on Kirk's reaction in case this wasn't actually welcome, but if he didn't get any adverse reaction he was going to lay a warm, firm kiss on those tempting pink lips.]

It's not really fair, is it? To ask someone to wait for you for five years, or even more. Besides, I'm rather married to the work and my silver lady.

_{[ That was his reasoning, anyways. It was what he told himself when he didn't say goodbye the morning after, not properly, when he refused to promise to keep in true contact or to say a very certain word. That little word scared him, sent him running - it was simply now he had a much wider array of places to run to.

The sudden change in attitude is a surprise, and while Kirk does not see exactly Spike and Ianto are up to, he assumes that Jack has good reason for this. Just from their conversation, Jack doesn't seem like the sort of man who would do something to upset his lover, and who the hell was he kidding? He did want a kiss. He wanted a lot more, in fact, but without the band he was out of luck.

So he might as well enjoy what was being freely given, shouldn't he?

Kirk pressed back against Jack's lips, fingers cupping the back of his head, sinking into the thick hair. If this was going to be his one kiss from this man, he was going to make the most of it to say the least. He parted his lips, inviting more, his own tongue brushing across Jack's lower lip while he pressed himself flush to the older man, balancing himself by digging his other hand into Jack's shirt. ]}

[Enjoying what he could have and doing his best not to mind too much about what he couldn't was very much Jack's philosophy too - and there was certainly a lot to enjoy here. Not least the fact that Kirk was probably the first person he'd kissed casually here who really kissed back with a complete lack of embarrassment. It was refreshing and exciting and made not minding wanting more than just a kiss rather a lot harder, but that didn't mean he wasn't going to make the most of it.

His free hand came around Kirk's waist for support as he adjusted his stance slightly for better balance, and his mouth opened at that brush of Kirk's tongue over his lip, tongue slipping out to twine sensuously with Kirk's as he moaned softly in pleasure. A very long time indeed since he'd enjoyed a kiss like this from someone he'd just met.]

_{[ A handsome man was kissing him, of course he was going to show enthusiasm. For all he knew, this would never happen again - though he sincerely hoped that was not the case. He had never been embarrassed when it came to his carnal relations, and he saw no reason to start now. Live in the moment and embrace it - that was the way to live a life.

Oh damn, but Jack was good at this. He would have smile except his mouth was molded to Jack's, tongue sliding against his, twisting playfully. His fingers followed the leader of his tongue, toying and twisting with the fine hairs. Without thinking he pressed his hips to Jack's, moaning quietly so that the music hid to all but their ears.

Damn those stupid bands. ]}

[It would happen again if Jack had any say in the matter. He was already looking forward to the next Mistletoe Day, which by his calculations shouldn't be too far away! And he was right there with Kirk in damning the sex bands - an emotion he hadn't felt for quite some time. He had Ianto and he had Spike and times had been exciting enough with just that, but he really would have liked to go further than this with Kirk. He could feel his cock stirring against the hip pressed against his, eager for more.

So it was with a good deal of regret and with only precarious self-possession that he forced himself to gradually calm the kiss down, because he really didn't want to be walking round with a hard on for the rest of the evening. Slowly drawing back to create some space between them, and finally stilling the kiss to just his lips against Kirk's, and then just his forehead resting against Kirk's forehead.]

I'm sorry.

_{[ Good, because once you kissed someone like this, you really needed to be able to kiss them again. Maybe more. God he hoped more if not for those damn bands! Whoever made those up, he was going to personally stick a fist through their circuitry. If it had gone on any longer, he really would have had to hide behind a bush for a little while, maybe steal some ice from the drinks to calm himself down. Kirk had wanted a lot of people in his life, but there was something about wanting someone and not being able to have them that really amped him up. Damn it.

Kirk's cheeks flushed lightly when Jack pulled away, breaths the tiniest bit fast as he turned his head so their noses brushed - a tiny shaking gesture. ]}

No, it's okay, it's not your fault.

_{[ He cracked a smile around a puff of laughter. ]}

You get an opening on that band, though, you'd better let me know. You don't kiss a guy like that and then not follow through.

[He could tell that Kirk was having to hang on to his self-control just as tightly as he was, and he was quite impressed with how well the other man did it, despite his obvious desire for more. Still, he was a captain, after all. Jack knew only too well how self-sacrificing a captain had to be, even if it wasn't usually because of stupid sex bands!

He laughed, finally stepping back and letting his hands fall away.] You bet I will! [And then, because he didn't want to give Kirk false hope:] I'm afraid it's not that likely, though, not for the moment. I've worked harder at this relationship than I can remember ever working at one, and I really don't want to fuck it up!

[Another glance over towards where he'd seen Spike and Ianto before, but they seemed to have made their escape while he was otherwise occupied.]

Really, don't go crushing a man's dreams quite so quickly and efficiently.

_{[ He shook his head at Jack, but there's no rancor in his tone. Admittedly, he was disappointed that there was that hiccup in their getting to enjoy each other fully, but what could he do? At the very least, he could tell he would enjoy having Jack Harkness for a friend.

He saw Jack's eyes drift and not find anyone. ]}

Want to share a drink while you wait for whomever it is you're looking for?

[That first comment gets him another rueful smile, but the second gets a happier one.]

Sure, I'd like that. Though I don't expect them to appear again tonight.

[He inclines his head.] Hazard of the early stages of a threeway relationship, where it's not quite actually going three ways yet. Every now and again you get left out.

[Which might seem even harder given what he could have going with Kirk tonight had it not been for the AIs and their idiotic rules!

...And he hasn't actually mentioned the fact that his relationship with Ianto is now a threeway with Spike yet, has he? Have fun with that one, Kirk!]

_{[ Well, that was surprising learning it was a three way, but it also somehow fit with Jack as he was getting the sense of him. Jack felt like himself, where monogamy was... difficult. With two people, it might be easier, though he suspected even that wasn't always easy given the way they had just been kissing. Still, he had to give him credit for trying. Kind of. ]}

Tell you what, we can go back to mine and cuddle. If nothing else, I'll keep you warm until the third spot opens back up with the other two.

_{[ The teasing is never going to stop, Jack. Not unless there's a serious situation, that's just who Kirk is.

He doesn't know whom exactly you're in a relationship with, never mind that he has flirted with both men before. He will be surprised to find out, and not. Both were quite handsome, after all. And then laugh because Spike had suggested he even meet you, Jack. ]}

[He hesitates, because it really is tempting. Incredibly tempting.

But he knows himself too well, and he's getting a pretty good idea that Kirk really isn't very different, and it might just all be a little too tempting.

So he shakes his head, regretfully.] I'd love to, really I would. But I also know how hard it would be to keep it at just cuddling. [A warm smile with a definite heat in it, because he thinks there could be a real spark here, if circumstances were different.]

Honestly? I think I probably ought to just call it a night.

_{[ It was probably the truth. Kirk could restrain himself, but he was only mortal, and he had limits. Especially with a man like Jack, whom he was fairly sure would have no issues taking things further given opportunity and means.

Probably for the best then, to part ways at this juncture, but that control finally snapped. He returned the smile with an equal undercurrent of heat, even if he was disappointed. ]}

I might make a few more rounds, say hello to some new people. But don't be stranger, all right?

_{[ He reached up as if to touch Jack, then stopped himself and merely shook his head and smiled, waving to him as he swept away in a flap of his cape. ]}

_{[ ooc: aaaaand wrapped! ]}
