Day 407 / Action / Open and closed
Action – closed to Ianto

He's finishing getting dressed and bending to get his boots out of the wardrobe, when the sight of something at the back of the wardrobe, sitting innocuously right behind his boots where he'd swear it wasn't yesterday, gives him pause. A box. A box he had for decades. A box which couldn't possibly be here if this existence wasn't virtual and/or outside of time.

Hardly breathing, he scoops it up and takes it through to Ianto, who's already in the kitchen, getting coffee.

"Hey. Look what I found!"

Action – open

Jack's gift is a box of photographs of past lives and lovers, incredibly precious since it was blown up along with him and the rest of the Hub over a year ago and (in real life, at least) lost forever.

Find him sifting through the photos, or just gazing fondly at one of them, at various points through the day – at the Defence Force HQ, in a restaurant at lunchtime or dinner time, wandering along with a coffee in his hand etc. etc. etc.

((OOC: NSFW content in the thread with Ianto (surprise surprise)! ))

"Alright, the smile is a bit different." He really can see it. It's not even so much a question of looking older of younger, but more like that cocky attitude is gone. Changed might be a better way to describe it because he's still seen that smile on Jack's face a thousand times. It just seems more tired now, like it's hiding more years and pain behind it.

He sets down the pictures and turns to smile softly at him, running a hand gently along that unchanging face. "I like you better this way."

That's... probably an extremely accurate description. He still does the cocky smile, but it's not the same. There's a lot more behind it, and it's not always as heartfelt as it was back then.

"I'm probably a better man now," he admits, smiling at the stroking of his face, before glancing down at the photo again. "That was... you remember Estelle? With the faeries? She took that photo. She was so proud of me, going off to fight, so happy. And I thought I could do it. Could use my immortality to help with the war effort, by going where other men couldn't, going back in again and again." So cocky. So sure of himself.

"Except it lost me her. I died, and they told her, and then I couldn't go back. Not until enough time had passed that I could pretend to be my own son."

"I remember." And he remembers the look on Jack's face the night she died, too.

It's tempting to ask more, to find out how many people he's loved over the years, how many children he's had, how many of them he's buried. But he's not sure he really wants to now. What they have now seems more important than his past. He'll hear what Jack wants to share, but he doesn't need to ask about the details of every single photo.

"Were you working for Torchwood then?"

Perhaps now is more important than a rollcall of all the other people he's loved in the past. Each of them ended in its own way, and in the end that's what it comes down to. Each love has its time, and then it's gone. All he can do is make the most of the time he has with each of them.

He shakes his head. "Not at that point, no. No undercover missions to kill aliens behind the Nazi menace or anything. Just me trying to be the best I could be, in the Doctor's memory."

His thoughts are along the same line. It makes him turn so he's fully in Jack's embrace so he can pull him in and kiss him, long and slow and intimate. It's not that he doesn't want to hear about he past, more that he wants to make sure Jack knows it doesn't affect his feelings towards him, and that it doesn't make him think about the future and the fact that for Jack he's already another lost face in those photos. He wonders if his picture would have one day been added to the box.

"I love you for that. For being your best. I always have." For being a hero. For always doing what's right.

In the reflective mood he's in, the embrace and the long, slow kiss feels perfect. He wraps his arms around Ianto and falls easily into the kissed, grateful for the comfort and unconditional love he's being given. Yes, Ianto would have been another of the photos in the box if it hadn't already been lost when he died. This is a very nice reminder that here, he's not dead, but very much alive and in his arms.

"You too," he says, muffled against Ianto's skin. "You've gone out and fought so many times, even though you were never really trained for it."

"It was easy when I was following you." Even if he knows that's exactly what will lead to his death, to him just being another name on that list of people Jack has lost. It makes him hold him closer, letting him feel that's he's real and solid and here. That for now that loss hasn't happened, and that he finally gets a second chance.

"I know it must be hard, opening your heart to someone you know you'll lose one day. Thank you for thinking I'm worth it." Even if he's not entirely sure what Jack sees in him most days.

	That's just a little bit too close to a reminder of how he ended up dying, far too soon, and Jack pauses for a moment, swallowing it down, before the renewed tightness of Ianto's hug gets through to him and he relaxes somewhat. Then lets out a surprised laugh at that last part. "Of course you're worth it! Your're - you're one of the best people I know!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

It Ian a bit to close and he finds he's trembling. A few deep breaths, a determined focus to pay attention to the sweet sentiment of Jack's words rather than the dark turn his thoughts have taken and he's more or less alright again. He even manages a faint smile.

"I'm glad you think that. I'm glad we've made it this far." Now kiss me until I can't think about anything but how much I love you remains unsaid but very much apparent.

	"A lot of that's down to you and your patience with me," Jack points out, because he knows he'd never have found himself happily monogamous without Ianto's gentle guidance. He moves a hand to cradle Ianto's jaw affectionately as he leans in again, because that kiss definitely needs to happen, for him just as much as Ianto. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"We compliment each other well that way." They bring out the best in each other, they always have.

He leans into the kiss, pressing closer against him, hands reaching down to rest on Jack's waist, pulling him closer. He finds he needs the closeness just now with the mood that sad little box of photos has put him in. Up until now the bet with Spike has been fun, this is the first moment he finds himself regretting it, wanting more than just kisses. Then again, they did make that trip to the Plush Rump the other day. Perhaps they can make use of what they bought.

He chuckles into the kiss in agreement with that sentiment and then lets himself sink into the kiss. For the moment, he's not really thinking any further than just reconnecting and enjoying Ianto's love - the love that he still has, as a contrast to all those past loves in the box.

Not, at least, until Ianto pulls him closer and he feels Ianto's cock stir against him, his own twitching in empathy. He grins against Ianto's lips and drops his hands to Ianto's ass to pull him in tighter, bodies flush against each other. And slides his mouth round to murmur in Ianto's ear, "Am I going to have to get out that cock cage at last, Mr Jones?"

They haven't actually got around to using it yet, after all. It would seem a shame not to make use of it before Ianto's bet with Spike expires tomorrow!

It is good, holding him like this and knowing that for now he's an exception to that rule, that he's still here, that Jack didn't lose him entirely. He's always tried to make Jack's own deaths easier but it's rare that he has a day like this where it's really brought home how much this second chance must mean to him.

That question sends a shudder through his entire body which he knows for a certainty Jack can feel. It wasn't something g he was thinking about before they started looking at these pictures be now, with thoughts of death and loneliness on his mind he does want some sort of sexual release, just to remind them both there alive and here and have each other. "Only if you think I've earned it."

Although getting the box really is making him happy, it's also making him remember death and sadness, and Jack could certainly use the distraction too.

He chuckles, hands roving over Ianto's ass. "Depends on how you look at it! Have you been annoying or naughty enough to deserve being teased and fucked without release? Nah. Have you been gorgeous and wonderful enough to deserve a whole lot of stimulation without having to worry about being able to come? I think so, don't you?"

Besides, although there was the rather lovely handjob in the shower and an equally lovely couple of blowjobs from Ianto in the interim, he hasn't actually fucked him for days, and - well. He does like fucking!

It is funny - but perhaps entirely predictable - how many sexual situations he's found himself in over the past five days. It's included what he thinks must be a record number of blowjobs between Jack and Spike and while he is already looking far too forward to their surprise for tomorrow what suggestion does get a needy whimper from him as Jack's hands roam lower. It's he perfect thing to take his mind off those photographs of dead lovers and knowing he's another name on that list.

He tugs at Jack's shirt, pulling him closer and away from the box at the same time, nodding in desperation. "I think I could use that right about now."

He goes willingly. Hell, when is he ever going to be unwilling to share intimacy and pleasure with Ianto? Tempting, too, to dive into another long and increasingly heated kiss, but there are other matters that need addressing first.

"In that case, we'd better go and get the cage before you get any harder. It's really difficult to get those things on once you're hard!"

He's long used to Jack speaking from experience she. It comes to everything related to sex so he doesn't remark on how he knows that, and just nods, still clinging to him as they make their way towards the bedroom. He's a bit surprised by how much those photos affected him but maybe it makes sense. If he hadn't know how he dies and how far in the future from him Jack is he doubts they would have bothered him at all.

He lets Jack find the toy they bought the other day, finally letting go of him only so he can start slowly and precisely removing his suit. "Just tell me what to do. You know I've never used one of these before."

Oh yeah, plenty of experience there. It's not something he's done regularly, but occasionally, for fun, it can be a nicely kinky experience.

He grins as he fishes the box out of the drawer under the bed and slides the toy out of the box, watching Ianto undress with the enjoyment that always brings, even if it is barely half an hour since he got dressed in the first place. Hell, Jack hasn't even got as far as putting his shoes on, having got distracted by the box of photos!

"Main thing is, try not to get too excited before we get this on. Otherwise, I'm going to have to bring out the ice, and you really won't enjoy that!"

However much he suspects the idea of it will just turn Ianto on even further.

"I'll do my best to remain calm." That usual dry Ianto humor creeps back into his tone with that comment as he finishes folding his clothes and setting them aside. Despite his words it's been four days with two partners who both seem determined to make this as difficult as possible for him. At this point it's hard not to think about sex but if there's one think Ianto enjoys its exercises in self-control.

((Perfect!))

Of course they're making it as difficult as possible for him! Where would be the fun in doing anything else?

"Good," he grins, and rapidly sheds his own clothes, too, while he waits, because there is going to be fucking so he might as well get naked again too!

Then he sits down on the side of the bed and when Ianto's nude he gestures him towards the bed too. "Lie down and make yourself comfortable. This won't hurt a bit!"

Ianto has to do his best not to look at Jack as he removes his clothes, not to think about his hands or his body or how long these past four days have been. He's less successful than he'd like but not hard enough to make their task impossible.

He complies with the instructions, lying down where Jack indicates and getting comfortable. Pain isn't something he's particularly worried about here, not today. Save that for another time. "We're going to have to use this again when the bet is over. I'm already having far too many ideas of things we can do with it."

"Oh yeah? You can tell me all about those once it's on!"

It's gently amusing watching Ianto try not to get excited when he knows that sex must be all he can think of at this point. He has, after all, been there himself - many times. He's impressed with Ianto's success, though, and he grins as he takes the base of Ianto's mostly flaccid cock between his thumb and forefinger (to minimise contact as much as possible) and slides the clear plastic sheath over it.

"There, that's the hard part done!" he states, with a twinkle of his eyes at the deliberate pun. "Hold onto that for me while I get the rest of it on?"

Holding onto it isn't strictly necessary, given the way it fits over the bulbous head of his cock - it's not going to slide off easily even if he tries to get hard in the next minute or so - but it's always fun to make the wearer touch it, to see them realise that though they can see their cock through it, when they try to touch all they get is hard plastic.

	"Wouldn't want to spoil the surprise," Ianto replies teasingly, letting his hand replace Jack's as he holds the device in place. The clear plastic is disconcerting, but it's exciting as well knowing they can do this without him breaking his promise to Spike. He should have known Jack would have a variety of creative ways to get around it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Jack can certainly be relied on to have a creative solution to most sexual problems, and this one, really, is as old as the hills, even if it's in a distinctly twenty-first century form. He chuckles as he tries the U-rings for size and then fits everything together, locking Ianto's cock securely away, unable to get hard.

He doesn't bother actually locking the device, given that that's not really what this is about, but it's still a fairly powerful mindfuck, he's always found.

"There," he says, satisfied, and crawls up Ianto's body so he can lean down to kiss him, long and hard and breathless like he'd wanted to before.

That kiss is perfect, exactly what he needs just now. It's so tantalizing to see everything locked in place, to feel himself becoming aroused without being able to get properly hard. He suspected he would like this, given how much he enjoys exercises in self-control but it's already better than he had dared hope. He can tell just from this first long kiss that this is something he will love. "Perfect."
