It took Jack three days to make it to Eric's for whatever comfort – or at least distraction – he could offer from his ongoing fight with Ianto. Initially, he'd pretty much tried to tough it out on his own. He wasn't in the mood to have to talk about things. Mal had been fantastic in that respect, offering his couch for the night and then, in the morning, helping him get a mattress finally into his den so at least he could sleep there, even if it didn't have a bathroom, or anywhere to cook. Not that cooking was a problem – he had enough credit to eat out in the diner – but it did mean he had to sneak back to the cottage a couple of times for a shower. Still, he had a place to call his own, where he could just be himself without worrying about someone else, and he told himself that was all he needed. He really wasn't in the mood for company.

By the end of the third day spent pretty much alone, though, he'd had enough. Both jailhouse and den were as finished as they could be (bar finding someone to install a shower in his den) and he'd run out of distractions.

Time for distraction of a different nature. He washed off the grime of the day as well as he could with just a single tiny basement cloakroom (toilet and basin) for facilities, and crossed the street to the back of Fangtastic, hoping Eric would be there. Opening the back door to the club, he stuck his head in and called, "Eric? You there?"

Characters: Jack Harkness & Ianto Jones
Rating: Probably at least R for language NC-17 for sex!
Trigger Warnings: None anticipated
Location: Jack and Ianto's cottage (3W)
Day and Time: Saturday 9 July, around noon
Status: Closed Completed

Jack still didn't have more than basic plumbing in his den so he was still sneaking back to the cottage to use the shower every other day or so. All right, he could have broken into one off the empty houses or apartments to use a shower, but all his things were still in the cottage so he felt it made sense to keep coming back here, even if it did mean he had to make sure Ianto was out of the way first.

Of course, if he'd had any self-awareness whatsoever, the fact that he hadn't actually moved any of his possessions out of the cottage and into another one might have told him something about how he felt about living with Ianto, but sometimes Jack wasn't all that bright.

On this particular day, his morning visit to the cottage was later than he'd intended, put off by the revelation that all the vampires had suddenly turned human, but he still needed a shower and a change of clothes, so he hung around hidden in the trees opposite the cottage until Ianto went out and then slipped inside.

He was naked and about to step into the running shower when the snick of the latch warned him he was no longer alone and he froze, torn between getting into the shower anyway and getting dressed again so he could get out of there as quickly as possible.
