Figured this is one old thread that could really use some closure!

"So that's what it comes down to," he murmurs, frowning slightly because this, right here? This is the seemingly impossible part. The idea that it's possible to be in a committed relationship and still occasionally fuck around with other people. It's what he fought with Ianto about, both on that day in the 'future' and afterwards, but Ianto seems to have come round to it. Of course, Ianto has the advantage of having spent several years around Jack already, of already having been exposed to the idea. It seems to still be very new to Spike and Spike obviously can't get his head around it.

And maybe that's okay, he realises. He doesn't have any deep and desperate need for Spike, not like he does for Ianto, and so maybe it's okay if they fuck while they want to and then, if he needs more, from someone else, they don't fuck any more. Maybe it's enough to enjoy what they've got now. It's not the same as what he's got with Ianto, and maybe that's okay.

"All right," he says slowly, and lifts his eyes to Spike's face. "So if it comes down to it at some point, you'd rather I didn't sleep with you at the same time as other people. I think I can accept that, as long as you wouldn't try to stop Ianto still sleeping with me?"

"Bit late for that, don't you think?"

Considering that they're already in this messed up triad, on his suggestion at that. It's taken some mental gymnastics to work around it but as far as he's concerned, it's been surprisingly smooth sailing and involving more people sounds like a recipe for rocky waters. Better keep it as simple as can be.

"And you'll always be the exception. You know that, Jack." With who Ianto can dally with other than him, the only person around that he'd willingly share with. "What goes on with you two is up to you and if you and I stop messing about, I really have no say in the matter."

He leans forward then, a mischievous twinkle accompanying the dangerous dark tone in his voice. He's kidding, for the most part, but also he's not.

"But if you hurt him? I'll rip your fucking throat out."

His shoulders go down, and a small smile forms on his lips. "I think I can work with that," he agrees, relieved, but still has to clarify, "Though of course you get a say. He cares about you a lot, and about what you think and feel, and - well - it may not go so deep with me but I'll still care about how you feel too. I wouldn't want to hurt you, if I can avoid it."

His lips twitch a bit at the lean-in and mock-not-mock threat, but he addresses it seriously. "As for hurting him, you know I'd never do that intentionally. I seem to be unfortunately rather good at doing it unintentionally, but I will always regret it, and I will always do whatever I can to mend that hurt. Good enough?"

Maybe it's not so much that he doesn't think he has a say in what goes on between Ianto and Jack, as that he doesn't want one. Sure, if it actually affects him, maybe then he'll have words but if he's not a part of it then he's staying out of it. Not that it matters much. It's nice to hear he's being kept in mind, regardless.

"Good enough." He leans back again, arms crossed over his chest. "But don't think I'm not keeping an eye on you."

	He grins. "I'd expect nothing less! And really, perhaps knowing you're keeping an eye on me will be good for me. Help me keep on the straight and narrow - help me keep from fucking up again!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I'm not betting any money on that working." More because he has about as much faith in Jack as he does himself, but maybe it could work. He always did have a knack for being the voice of reason, believe it or not. "We square, then?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Yeah, he's not exactly convinced they won't manage to screw this all up again, but at least if they're both (or all) watching out for each other, then perhaps they've got a slightly better chance of preventing that!

"Yes, I think we are," he smiles, and leans back in his seat, eyes twinkling. "Speaking of watching, Ianto's going to be getting another spanking some day soon. Wanna watch? Or would you rather just enjoy the after-effects?"

	That gets an eyebrow raise as he takes in the offer, feeling all kinds of conflicted about it for a moment before slowly shaking his head. No. "Not really my thing. You have fun, though. Save me the leftovers." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

It's about what he expected, but he feels it's important that the offer is made, and there are no hard feelings when it's rejected. Maybe one day, but in the meantime...

"Oh, I'm sure there'll be plenty of leftovers," he smirks, because he knows how much Spike enjoys those marks he leaves on Ianto - almost as much as Ianto does himself.

"And perhaps the three of us can get together again soon, as well?"

	"I'll see if I can't find an opening in my schedule for a get together." Because he clearly has so many other things to do with his time. Speaking of being bored out of his mind... "Got a pool table down at the Shack now. If you fancy a friendly game." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2017-07-02 12:17 pm UTC (link)
	He gives Spike a wry look. "Think we could manage it better than last time?" It's mostly asked in jest. He feels they have this whole thing worked out a hell of a lot better than they did last time. "Could be fun. Perhaps we could all meet for a drink and a game or two some time, and then see where we end up from there!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You know what they say, practice makes perfect." The Shack has become a pretty important place for him and Ianto and inviting Jack into it seems like a not too terrible next step. They need to make this work as well as it can for as long as possible, as far as he's concerned. There's warmth in his eyes when he responds. "It's a date." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Good thing we've got plenty of time to practice, then!" And yeah, he gets the significance of the Shack. Ianto and Spike have had some big moments there, and he and Spike have had some fairly revelatory talks there. All three of them there together seems like a good next step.

"Some time soon, after I've spanked the hell out of Ianto's ass, then?" he nods, and grins evilly. "We could enjoy watching him bending over to play pool with a sore ass!"

	He snorts, partially at how much of a one-track mind Jack has but just as much at how much he'll enjoy that exact scenario. Oh boy, has he ever been ruined. "Perfect. Just give me a call whenever you've done the deed." (Reply to this) (Parent)
