[ Finally he takes a bite out of the pancake, which tastes fine but isn't the flavor explosion he expected it to be. Huh. Must taste more things while he still can. ]

Oh yeah. [ He snorts, too worn down from all this emotional support to even worry about keeping up appearances anymore. ] That was pretty much all I did. Fancied myself a poet. I was bloody awful at it too.

	[Put some syrup on it or something then this is a problem that is easy to solve.] Any other hobbies I would have been charmed by? I've got an idea of what your hair looks like under all the bleached but I can't really picture you in any sort of period dress. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Excuuuse him for wanting to savour this one bit of a time, gawd. He does spill syrup on it, like a heathen. ] Well... [ He hesitates because there is such a thing as pushing it but also, his mom isn't around to haul out the baby pictures so maybe he owes Ianto this much. ] I got pictures. If you're interested.

	I am interested. If you don't mind. [He's learned not to turn offers like this down. They were so rare from Jack that he's in the habit of immediately accepting any time information like this is offered.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	When we get back to the flat, then. I don't keep them on me. [ More like hidden at the very back of a cupboard, taped to the underside of a shelf just in case anyone goes snooping. ] What else do you want to know? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2017-08-10 12:08 pm UTC (link)
	Anything you feel like telling me. I like learning more about you. [Not that he's ever been an open book about his past which is why he leaves Spike the option to decide how much and just what to share.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2017-08-10 12:11 pm UTC (link)
	Don't know how much there is to tell. Like I said, that time didn't sit well with me. [ He cuts off another piece of pancake, using it as an excuse to not talk. Not that he minds answering questions, but unprompted? That's one part of his life he can't just brag through. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2017-08-10 12:17 pm UTC (link)
	I know the feeling. I tend to lie to people about my life, or what it was like before I joined Torchwood. [A bit of give and take seems appropriate. Spike shouldn't be the only one on the spot about his last.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2017-08-10 12:19 pm UTC (link)
	What were you like before Torchwood? [ Seems like the kind of place that'd either elevate or erase a person. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

No one interesting. [Just some dumb kid who got into trouble but who wasn't?] I just wanted to get away, same as you. I never really got on with anyone in my family except my sister and as soon as my dad died I got out of there. Went to London, started over, pretended I came from somewhere I didn't. Sometimes I visit, if my niece or nephew has a birthday or something like that but mostly I just steer clear. Too many memories of being stuck in a place I hated.

	Sounds familiar. [ His own lies about his background were more socioeconomic than geographical, though that makes him wonder. ] Don't tell me you're not actually from Wales? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Of course I am, and I'll be accepting compliments on the accent now. [Not really but don't pretend you don't love it.] It was mostly because I wasn't happy, I suppose. We weren't well off, I didn't get on with my dad, I never really felt like I fit in, that sort of thing. I didn't expect to come back to Cardiff after I left but Torchwood London was destroyed and I needed access to its technology to keep Lisa alive. It's the only reason I came back and persuaded Jack to give me a job.

	I keep forgetting how similar we are. [ Everything for the girl. Everything. ] I've said it before, but all of this... you'd make a great vampire. Unstoppable. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[It is everything for the person he loves. All in even against the odds or common sense. Something Spike will have seen first hand by now.] We'd be unstoppable. Although I like to hope there will be souls and minimal destruction involved. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ It's true, he has noticed that and it's still a bit of a shock that he can even be considered a person worth sacrificing for. That's not how it goes, usually. ] Suppose we'll see, if we ever get out of here. [ Little does he know... ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2017-08-10 01:20 pm UTC (link)
	[It's probably the reason this absurd relationship of theirs works. They both go all in, a hundred percent when it's someone they love even if the whole world tells them it's a stupid idea.] Let's focus on the pancakes for today. We can tackle the bigger problems later. [Little do they know indeed.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	So pancakes is all I'm getting today? And here I thought you'd have an itinerary ready. [ He fakes an annoyed huff. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2017-08-10 01:50 pm UTC (link)
	Well I started making an itinerary butnif im honest it was mostly just sex. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	So that's all you want out of me, huh? I get my breath back and you steal it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's the downside of mortality I'm afraid. You do it to me on a regular basis you know. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2017-08-14 08:29 am UTC (link)
	Well... if you're going to get back at me for all the horrible things I've done to you, we better get a move on. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You just don't like the pancakes, do you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2017-08-15 07:48 am UTC (link)
	Fine, you got me! I really don't see what the big deal is. [ He learned something about himself today. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I should think that compared to Blood each day everything is a big deal. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That just proves that you've never tasted a perfect 38 degrees, straight from the tap. [ Yeah, he's saying this to antagonize. What of it? ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
