WHO: Jack, Gray and Andy
WHAT: A reunion of brothers... with a friend
WHEN: Day 29, morning
WHERE: Jack and Ianto's room, F207
RATING: PG
STATUS: Incomplete

Jack paced the room he shared with Ianto obsessively as he waited for Andy and Gray to arrive. He'd done a quick run around, making the bed and cleaning up a few things but frankly with Ianto living here with him, it was more make-work than anything that actually needed to be done. Ianto wasn't one to leave things messy for too long, despite Jack's preference for a more 'lived in' look.

He did feel a hint of trepidation about this meeting, not so much because of what had happened the last time he had met Gray. That had been an older, broken Gray. This one was young, if what Andy had said was correct, and still recognisably his brother. No, his trepidation came from what Andy said had been done to Gray and the fear that Gray wouldn't recognise him as an adult. He knew he'd changed a little from when he was a boy but he thought there was enough left of the boy in his face for Gray to recognise.

He did another turn and paced back, glancing over at the door and wondering how long it would take them to get here.

Gray winced faintly, trying to hide the expression, as Jack shifted him and he settled against his brother. He listened with interest, almost picturing the place Jack was talking about. "It sounds nice." He looked up at Jack then.

"You're at the changing point of our history?" Gray asked thoughtfully. "Must be interesting to see how we were then compared to how we are in the 51st century."

Jack smiled, his eyes distant as his mind drifted. "It is. Had to go halfway round the universe and back again before I found a place I can call home." He closed his eyes, pain drifting briefly across his face. "I'm going to lose it all, of course. Watch everyone grow old and die while I stay the same." That hurt. It hurt everytime he thought about it.

He shook those thoughts away and grinned. "Yeah and smack bang in the middle of it with Torchwood. It's fun... most of the time." He rolled his eyes. "Antiquated mostly. Especially some of the attitudes. But they're changing, growing, adapting, all that."

"I wish I could see it." Gray murmured softly, shifting slightly. He's quiet for a moment.

"You won't really lose them I think...I mean. You'll have memories of them. They'll leave yes but so long as you remember them you'll have them for as long as you live."

It was why Gray himself sketched when ever he could. Those sketches were his memories. People he knew, places he's been, things he saw...he drew. Cause for Gray. To be forgotten is to of never existed and that seemed like a cruel thing to do to someone.
