_{[ The cryptic message from the warden means essentially nothing to Kirk. He couldn't even fathom what sort of holiday would line up with the calendar here, since he has no idea when Day 1 started, or if they even used the Earth Calendar at all. It was to much of a headache to bother worrying about, at least for the moment, so he did what anyone who has never heard of kissing bots does - he goes about his day.

That means a run on the beach, some time in the Athletic Center, working on lesson plans and other random research at the cafe and the library, picking up some groceries - really just about anywhere.

He ain't scared of no bots! ]}

He's been for his swim and is just towelling himself off on the beach, too agitated today to sunbathe himself dry as he usually does, when the sound of someone running makes him turn.

Oh. He hasn't spoken to Kirk since waking up together after the whole twenty year debacle and then chucking him out of the apartment rather rapidly so he could call Ianto and ruin his relationship still further, so it's an unusually awkward-looking Jack Harkness who reluctantly acknowledges the other as he runs towards him.

"Hey."

Kirk was no tender maiden to get his hear broken from being so rapidly dismissed, but he would be lying if he said it hadn't hurt just a little. He was known for his one-night stands and his lack of a relationship status, but he did his best to make sure no one felt used. Not that he thought Jack had used him, but there was still a slight sour feeling in his stomach over the affair.

"Hey," he said, slowing. He was wearing knee length running jammers and shorts over them, and nothing else - maybe a bit for his vanity, and the other simply because running in sand worked up a sweat.

"How have you been?" he asked, which really meant 'did you fix things' but he wasn't sure he was in a position to ask.

To be fair to Kirk, that morning hadn't been the way Jack would normally do things. The way he would normally do things had been the way the morning before had gone. Waking up with someone he wasn't blue-banded to after twenty years of playing around and upsetting the person he was blue-banded to (yes, okay, there was Spike as well, but they all knew he wasn't the one it was all about) had been a very specific circumstance he really wasn't expecting to have to deal with and he'd panicked.

He was really kind of wishing he'd been able to handle things a bit better that morning. He had memories of becoming really good friends with Kirk in the future - a lot more than just the sex - and even if those memories were fading now he'd hoped they could become friends in this reality too, even if the sex wasn't going to be a thing. Although, looking at Kirk now, looking hot in more ways than one in those shorts, he was going to a little disappointed about the no sex thing.

At least Kirk was still talking to him. "Uh..." he dithered, paying more attention to drying himself than really necessary to give himself time to come up with a response. In the end he just shrugged. "Not great, to be honest."

Kirk wasn't in a position to make a comment about that whole scenario. He doubted it would help and besides, he hardly knew Jack. Barely a month if that. Feeling a connection, both as a friend and as a potential bedmate, wasn't enough to embolden him to speak to Jack's love life. Though now that he has tasted a day with Jack, he would be the first to admit that it was hard to swallow the idea they couldn't share that again (not least because, on some level, he needed that unique form of intimacy and physical outlet).

"Makes sense. Having memories shoved in your head like that through a glitch - has to be troubling to say the least," he sympathized, slowly coming closer, chest heaving as he sucked in breaths. There, just at the corner of his shoulder, was the faintest blush of a bruise left behind.

"Troubling is one way of putting it, yeah," he grimaced, finally dropping the towel because he'd run out of places to dry. Without its distraction he felt oddly naked, which had nothing to do with the fact that he was wearing less than Kirk was (bright blue Speedos, to match his eyes) and everything to do with the fact he was feeling the most emotionally vulnerable he could remember ever feeling. He spotted the bruise on Kirk's shoulder, and immediately remembered half a dozen others that he would have been still sporting himself if he didn't heal so much quicker than the average human.

"Look, I'm sorry for thinking it was you who were glitching, that day," he said awkwardly. "I should have known better. It just felt so incredibly real. Still does, if I'm honest!"

((OOC: I assume the bruise is something Jack left behind? Correct me if I'm misinterpreting!))

Let it never be said Kirk wasted an opportunity. With Jack standing there in practically nothing, of course he was going to give him a once over, probably a twice. He should feel bad about that, he knew, but Jack was sexy and if there was one thing Kirk knew Jack was not ashamed of it was his body. He couldn't help but notice that Jack wasn't sporting evenidence of the day before, but that was probably because of the glitch, he thought, and not Jack's strange time bio-chemistry.

"No, it's all right. All the evidence pointed to that. You weren't the only one experiencing it, after all." One could hardly fault the other for following what the data said. "It was real enough me. Think I'm going to feel it for another day or two." He tossed Jack a charming, lop-sides grin, hoping to make him laugh.

	[Martha runs into him at the grocery store. In fact, it's right in the middle of deciding which box of cookies she wants when the forcefield goes up. She turns to see who her fellow prisoner is and smiles at Kirk.] Haven't seen you in a while. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	They do rather inconvenience one's day, don't they. This is my third or fourth bout with them, and I've not even been here a year yet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Third or fourth? The wardens must have a liking for them. Kind of goes against their whole not wanting us to complicate our relationships here, don't you think? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She rolled her eyes.] I honestly have no idea what to think anymore. Either way... [The barrier pushed them forward.] We do have to kiss if we want to get out of this. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
