[ Guess who stayed perhaps a little too long in Sector 5 over night? To be fair he had a good reason for it but he's still cutting it a little too close for comfort, stumbling into a half-run the last few yards into Sector 0, turning around as he's passed the Sector 5 gate to watch it just disappear.

This is when he turns on the video feed, showing a whole lot of nothing. The absence of being there, anti-existence, your eye just glides off it without finding purchase. ]

They weren't kidding. This place is really going to the dogs.

[ He turns the camera on himself, a bit of blood still smeared at the corner of his mouth, forgotten from his meal earlier. ]

To those it may concern... Tyki Mikk isn't going to be bothering anyone anymore.

[ And with that he shuts off the feed. ]

	I know Tyki's gone but will you still stay here for a few days? Until we know what's happening? [He doesn't like the idea of someone he loves being very far away just now. Things feel too unpredictable, too dangerous.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No place I'd rather be. [ He leans in to kiss Ianto as a sign of reassurance, which might lose some of its impact due to the blood still on his mouth. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[One of the hazards of dating a vampire. He reaches up to wipe most of the blood away before returning the kiss. The blood stopped being gross a long time ago and right now the need for reassurance outweighs it for both of them.] You had blood on you. [A bit hesitant but not accusing, just explaining.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ The wiping brings him to a momentarily confused halt, followed by a surprising wave of shame. It's not like he bit anyone, it was freely given from a man who most people wouldn't mind to see bleeding and still it's like he has this deep dark secret — like he's been cheating. ]

Right. Sorry. [ He wipes at his mouth with the back of his hand, roughly. ] He brought me a present.

You know it doesn't bother me. [The sexy biting thing may have been something they've only done during their fake engagement but the attitude Ianto has towards blood is still more or less the same. It's something he needs to survive, he's known that from the start and he can't judge him for it anymore than he could judge Jack for his immortality. It's simply a fact of who he is. If he's made uncomfortable by anything it's the circumstances of it, nothing more. Then again, Tyki is gone for good now. Does any of it really matter anymore? In the face of everything that's happened these last few days, everything that is still happening, it's hard to know how he feels about it. The same mixture of regret and relief he does about Tyki's fate, most likely.]

How was he? At the end, I mean.

	[ He hesitates for just a moment, refrains from asking if Ianto really wants to hear this. ] Drunk. [ Thanks to him. ] Defeated... sentimental. Bled himself dry, I don't think that helped his state of mind any. [ In case there was any question where and how he got the blood. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[There wasn't a question. He's always had too much faith in Spike.] I want to feel sorry for him. I want to be able to move past everything and look at it all objectively but I just can't. I'm not glad he was suffering, but I think that's the most I can manage with it all. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2017-08-14 02:12 pm UTC (link)
	He wasn't asking for it, and even if you could I don't think it'd make much of a difference. [ Spike would know. ] Other people's forgiveness means shit all if you can't forgive yourself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Knowing he could forgive Spike and not Tyki is part of the problem for him. He doesn't like feeling like a hypocrite even if he knows that, for him, the two experiences could never compare.]

I'm glad you didn't stay with him. It's so hard not to see the similarities between what we did to both of you. The fact that you aren't sitting out in a Sector waiting for it to disappear is the only shred of good I can see in any of this.

	I had someone waiting for me. [ He gives Ianto a squeeze then, secure over the shoulders. ] And you can take full credit for that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Call me conceited but I think I will take credit for it. [He could use a win right now and this one sounds like one he can believe. He can feel the tension he's been carrying around for the past two days begin to slowly vanish with that squeeze. He had been so sure someone was going to be hurt, that there would be a target Tyki would want to take revenge on that he can't quite believe it isn't true. Everyone is alright. Well, everyone besides Tyki. He wishes he had more time to enjoy it instead of focusing on the next looming disaster.]

What happened when the Sector vanished? Did it just disappear?

	Yeah. [ His voice comes across a little tenser, a little more clipped than he'd like. Normally this stuff doesn't bother him too much but that felt different somehow. ] Maybe I'm imagining things, but I could feel things go fuzzy as it got closer to the deadline. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Must be something to do with the programming I suppose. [Always more Tosh's strength than his but that description certainly makes it sound permanent, as though it really is gone for goodness. No tricks, not this time.]

The Blood Shack's gone. [He's not one to get too sentimental or attached to physical things. He's watched far too many of them disappear. Still, that one stings a bit. It was their place, and he hates to lose it.]

	Rebecca brought that up too. [ Seemed like she expected him to be more upset about it. Maybe he's been alive too long, watched too many cities burn to the ground to really care. ] It's just a place. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Hardly the first important place I've said goodbye to. [Or the last. Jack told himwhat happens to the Hub.]

Still, seems a shame we didn't get to give it a proper send off. [He reaches up to brush one hand gently along the side of his face, a suggestion clear in that touch. One last time together. Not that he knows it. Then again, maybe he does. It does feel like the end of the world after all.]

	I don't know, I think that pool game was a pretty good end to it all. [ But he gets what Ianto's saying and even if he didn't, that touch is pretty difficult to misinterpret. Not missing a beat, he leans in to kiss him. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

We did thoroughly debauch it in our time here, didn't we? [Something he is personally very proud of.

The kiss is good, something warm and tender and very much needed after a nerve-wracking few days and in the face of all the uncertainty to come. He leans back onto the couch, pulling Spike down on top of him and not breaking away from it as he presses up against the familiar weight and shape of his body.]

[ He goes with it easily, arranging his weight on top of Ianto as he presses into the kiss with great need. There's something life affirming about snogging on the couch with Jack napping in the other room and Spike could do with exactly that right about now. It's hard not to linger on how Tyki, one of the earliest and probably closest friends he's had in this place, is gone and dead or as close to dead as you can get here. Soon, maybe they'll be in the same place and you can't even punch this sort of thing in the face until it goes away. Frustrating and intangible and-

A low murmur of a growl builds in his throat as he moves his hands to tear Ianto's shirt clean off his body. There's no time for buttons. ]

[Ianto hadn't realized how much he needed this until right now. Is been a terrifying two days with no sign of getting better and he's suddenly desperate for this, for something as simple and good as physical contact. It isn't enough to fix everything but it is a very needed reminder of what they do have, that there's still plenty of good worth hanging onto.

He makes no protest as he rips his shirt away, shrugging quickly out of what's left of it and tossing it to the floor before tugging Spike's t-shirt off over his head and pressing up against him in a desperate need for more contact.]

[ As much as Spike enjoys the power of words, actions tend to speak louder. Actions make a statement and right now that is that they'll be okay, they'll be fine, no matter what happens they got each other and they'll find a way through all this because they've both been through worse.

He moves in for Ianto's neck, blunt teeth grazing against his skin as he starts to work on the fastenings of his trousers. ]

	[True, they both have survived worse and as long as they have each other things will be fine. It's not as though there's a chance all this will come to an end. He makes a needy sound as Spike's teeth rasp across the skin of his neck, tilting his hips to allow him to get the trousers off and out of the way more easily.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2017-08-23 12:51 pm UTC (link)
	[ Of course not! Things never end around here, they know that. In a day or two, something else will happen and everything will continue as it has. They're never leaving. He yanks Ianto's trousers off with ease, though perhaps a little rougher than he normally does. There's a frantic nature to his movements, like there's no time to spare. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[There's something arousing about being naked while Spike is still fully clothed and Ianto takes a moment to savor the feeling. The roughness doesn't concern him; they've both had a hell of a few days and his own need for intamacy in the wake of that means he isn't able to wait more than a moment before tugging Spike's own shirt off to be able to start touching him properly.]

	[ He pulls back just long enough to get the shirt off before diving right back in. Having Ianto naked under him while he's half-dressed isn't new, and usually it's a pretty big turn-on but today's different. Today he reaches down to pop the buttons in his jeans, one-handed attempting to push them off his hips. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Ianto frees up his own hands to help tug those jeans off entirely. He's sharing that same sense of urgency, fueled by the intensity of everything that's going on. His hand find's Spike's cock once the clothes are finally out of the way, beginning to stroke against it. There's lube in an end table drawer and he trusts him to find it when it's needed. Right now it's a relief just to have contact.]
