[ At some point, he fell asleep, warm and comfortable and safe in a couch fort with Ianto pressed against his side. He slept and then he woke up and nothing was warm or comfortable or safe anymore. Sitting up with a start, as if from a nightmare, Spike scrambles out of the couch half prepared to find himself in a blood bath again. ]

	[He laughs, heading over to join Ianto on the couch. He always has time for cuddling.] I already knit. And I had actually thought about taking it up again as something to while away the time while you two are off enjoying yourselves without me! [He tilts his head.] Though I have to admit, I'd never thought of trying to knit something sexy! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ Closeness is all good and fine in theory, but Spike is still feeling pretty raw and anxious so rather than join the other two at the couch, he finds a window to hang out by under the pretence of lighting another cigarette. Truth be told, at least part of this is him not being entirely sure how to deal with the whole three-way thing. It still feels like he's breaking something up, rather than adding to it. ]

Lord help us all. [ Said with enough sarcasm to allow a vampire to take that name in his mouth. ]

[Ianto curls up against Jack's side, just relieved to have him there again. He always tries to find a moment to reassure them both after his deaths, even if this wasn't really a death. Sometimes they aren't able to do more than exchange anlook before getting back to shooting aliens but he always feels better being able to just be close to him, to remind them both that it's alright. As for Spike he doesn't push it but he does give him a look that's impossible to interpret as anything but an invitation. This is different from anything the three of them have done before. Usually the focus is on sex rather than emotional contact and he doesn't want to force it even if he hopes they can adapt to this part as well as they have to the rest of it.]

Are you really that bored when we're gone that you've resorted to knitting?

[He wraps himself around Ianto as he snuggles in. It's such a relief to be able to touch him again, after spending yesterday so entirely alone. It wasn't really that different from dying, given that he felt very much like a ghost amongst them.

His relationship with Spike is different enough that they haven't really progressed to cuddles yet, except post-coitally, so he's not going to push on that one either. He understands that Spike needs his space, but he tries to make it clear with his body language that he is totally invited to join them in their cuddling if he wants to.]

What's wrong with knitting? People keep telling me I need to find things to do that don't revolve around sex, and I might as well do something useful with my time!

[He might actually be secretly knitting each of them a mug cosy, to keep their respective coffee or blood warm.]

	It's a useful skill to have. [ So there. Dru always liked it when he made her lacy scarves, though he rarely finished any of them. ] A useful skill that you've now ruined with your debauchery. For shame. [ Okay, so maybe he's slowly coming out of the sour mood. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh I know for a fact there are plenty of other things he can ruin with his debauchery. [He can feel the mood listing ever so slightly but doesn't point it out because that would just ruin things. He gives Jack a teasing glance as he starts checking things off his mental list.] I know for a fact we can include any and all games on that list. Also office supplies.

	What? How have I ruined it? [Over the top innocence, but also genuine protest because, in his eyes, making something sexy only makes it more valuable, not less. He grins round at Ianto, giving him a quick squeeze.] It's called perverting things, making ostensibly non-sexual items into sexual toys. And it's a skill, not a - a curse!

Wasn't talking about his — I was talking about yours. [ A smirk and a nod to Ianto — you're both terrible, you know that right? No wonder he's exhausted already, just from being in the same room with you two and totally not from barely sleeping and stressing himself into a wet smear. ]

Not that it matters much now that Jack's gone ahead and admitted to shagging tea cosies.

Well in that case I don't mind taking a bit of credit. And I think it's a safe assumption that if anyone is going to propose something sexual related to tea or coffee it's much more likely to be me. [The fact that they're having this conversation at all after the stress of yesterday is such a relief he can't help but smile. Also would you just come snuggle on the couch before you fall asleep on your feet you surly vampire?]

	For the record, I have never and never intend to shag a tea cosy! [With a playfully exasperated look at Spike - and then a raised eyebrow at Ianto.] Have you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ You say that now, Jack. Spike's not going to put too much faith in that statement. He's also going to hang by this window and finish his cigarette, thank you very much, he's fine, he's not even sleepy. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I have not, thank you. [Spike might not be sleepy but Ianto is starting to feel yesterday's efforts andna sleepless night catch up with him and shifts around to get more comfortable against Jack.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Jack didn't get much sleep either, between worrying about his invisibility and worrying about wherever the hell Ianto and Spike had got to, and he lets out a massive yawn as Ianto snuggles against him.]

You know, I don't think I'm going to get much further into this day without either a bit of a nap or some of your fabulous coffee to wake me up! [Glancing between the two of them, because they both seem to be favouring opposite ends of the spectrum here.]

	[ Why is this on him? You two are grown men, you can take naps all you want! ] Go ahead and get some rest — I'll make myself scarce for a couple of hours. [ Seeing as it's morning. He could use some time to himself too, to shake out of this weird mood. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Because you're the nocturnal one with the weird sleep schedule to work around obviously not at all because Ianto is worried.

Even being worried he knows when not to push him. He doesn't think Spike will do anything stupid but he can understand him needing space. It certainly wouldn't be the first time that's been his reaction to a personal crisis. So his reply is casual with a healthy dose of perceptive mixed in.] Alright. Don't make yourself too scarce, alright?

[Because they're worried about you, you big idiot!

He's quite surprised when Ianto seems so calm about the idea of Spike leaving, but he's learned to defer to Ianto on matters of Spike so he doesn't make a big thing about it, just snuggles against Ianto even more.]

Mmm, fine, if you don't want to snuggle we'll have to make do with just the two of us, then.

[Then he opens his eyes properly to give Spike a straight look.] We're here if you need us, though, right?

[ Hey, he hasn't threatened to stake himself once this whole time. He does roll his eyes at Jack's suggestion, reclaiming the cocky image inch by inch. ]

Yes, daddy. [ Is that good, did you like that. He's not sure which response he's hoping for the most. ] I'll be back, eventually. Got other people to hang around than you two, you know.

[ So seriously don't worry about it, he'll go talk to Jez and clean up the apartment, or maybe swing by Rebecca's place for some mindless chatter. Maybe go to the Shack and clear his head with some Ramones. Bring normalcy back. ]
