[ CLOSED TO IANTO ]

[ He went to bed with Jack the night before. It was an attempt, he assumes, to bring this whole thing together. The three of them as the three of them rather than separate parts held together by necessity. Everything was fine, nothing to report and he slept like the dead through the night and well into the morning, schedule still not completely shifted from back in the day when the sun was actually something to avoid.

It makes waking up all that worse. He can see just fine in the dark of course but the harsh light of day adds a certain something. Colours are more vivid, shifting from browning rust to deep cherry reds, soaking into the sheets and clinging to his skin and face and mouth-

He scrambles out of bed, finding himself alone in more than just a physical sense, shock settling in like a fist to the gut. ]

[ OPEN ]

[ Jack is special in more ways than one and that's why he doesn't settle, doesn't wait for the announcement to confirm it the next morning. He's cleaned up now, scrubbed raw but some things you can't wash away and he keeps his hands tucked deep into the pockets of his coat as he stalks the streets, head bowed and jaw set. The taste doesn't leave his mouth, brown flakes and red specks and smears remaining in the lines of his hands and under his nails no matter how much he cleans. Nothing dramatic and that's perhaps worse because it feels so real. He's a killer. He'll always be a killer. Some things you can't wash away. ]

[ If this turns out to be a real problem then there really is no point to it. The best he can hope for is that it really is a glitch, that something else is happening here and they're overreacting but he's not exactly betting any money on it. In fact, he's mentally preparing for stakes and, if that doesn't stick, black bands. He can't risk it. ]

Yeah... yeah, I need to keep myself busy. If we find him, maybe we can sort this out. [ He has to be somewhere, right? ] We should split up, cover more ground.

	[ He doesn't shy away from the kiss, but also doesn't really reciprocate. When this is over he may make up for what they're missing out on right now, but his mouth tastes like blood and he can't. He can't. He snorts at the reassurance — Ianto knows him too well — and leans in to press their foreheads together. ] Thank you. [ I love you. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ He nods, not really agreeing, already planning to head out again later tonight. Dark vision and enhanced senses means he doesn't have to rely on daylight and maybe it would be easier when there's less people in the streets. Not that he's about to let Ianto in on that plan. ] So what are we doing for the rest of the night? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I didn't think so. [It's an awful feeling to realize being so close to Spike works so well with the skills he has from Torchwood to piece together motives, patterns and information. He's said enough in the past for Ianto to know he's far more likely to go for the kill than try to turn someone.] Have you remembered anything since this morning? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ This is what you get for dating a vampire. He shakes his head. ] Nothing. I don't remember anything out of the ordinary. [ Which is more disconcerting than if he would be actually missing time. He remembers going to bed, falling asleep, all normal stuff. ] Something isn't right here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
