who. Ianto & Reinette
where. bute park, cardiff
when. afternoonish

Ianto was sat on a park bench, people watching in general but looking out for Reinette specifically. Sometimes looking up to the sky hoping it would stay dry at least a little while longer. He was looking forwards to meeting her. But the same time he was a little it wary, if some other version of himself had been close with her he wondered what else he'd told her. Then there was the idea he actually worked at Torchwood three here or did or would do, not that it mattered he didn't think that would ever have happened. Consdering the attitude that One and Three had between them.

Reinette made her way to the park with a small smile on her face. As she stated, she had a red rose in her hair, over her left ear and weaved into her hairstyle for that day. She chose to wear a black knee length skirt and a red blouse, so at least she was coordinated.

To be honest, she was wary herself. This was not like the Ianto she had been intimate with. This was an altogether different Ianto. One who, she had to keep reminding herself, did not know her. And no, he hadn't told her much about Torchwood, but he'd told her some things. She had become friends with him, Jack, all of those closely associated in some way with the Doctor. And in doing so, she had garnered a small bit of trust along the way.

She saw him on the bench. It was quite easy to spot him among the people in the park. There weren't that many people around. Hesitantly, she made her way over to him.

"Ianto?"

	Ianto stood up, smiling at her. He couldn't help but think he's been lucky before. Very lucky. "Yeah." He did remember words were useful in the situation. He gestured to the bench he'd been sitting on. "Want to? Or we could go somewhere for a walk..." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Reinette smiled and offered her hand to him. A hand shake would be better than a hug, wouldn't it? He wouldn't hug someone he did not know, would he? She wasn't sure. Reaching up, she played with a stray strand of hair, twirling it on her finger.

"Hello. I am Reinette. Well, you already knew that. I suppose." Her voice was coy and soft, almost a tentative air to it. "We can sit or walk. I put myself in your hands."

	He shook her hand carefully, letting go what could be seen as slightly sooner rather than holding on too long. ... He needed a moment to let himself think when she said that, bye bye logical though when he heard those words. She was damn good looking. "We should sit for a while and talk..."

The look on his face was priceless. She had not meant the words as they were taken, and yet, the result was something that made her feel rather giddy. It was sad that he didn't remember her. Attempting not to think like that, she smiled a little wider, nodding her head in agreement as she did so.

"Seated conversation would be very well liked by myself. And you also, I would assume." She moved around him, her hips swaying a bit as she walked, taking a seat beside where he had been sitting only moments ago.

"So what would you like to know?" She raised an eyebrow at him.

	"Anything." He sat down quickly, right then he could listen to her speaking about anything, hell even just reading the phone book and he'd be very happy to just smile and stare quite happy at her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Well..."

She chuckled. He was cute when he was staring at her like that. And yes, he was staring.

"I used to take care of children, but have since been relieved of my duty. I'm looking for something else. And I am living in a house with a lot of very nice people. Jack, Rose, Toshiko, Tyler..." She couldn't even remember how many people were living there. "Susan, Sarah Jane I believe..." She smiled. "It is quite an adventure on some mornings."

She sighed. "I spend a lot of my time reading or writing. Musing really. Reflecting on things I should move on from. And enjoying it here. It is so beautiful."

She reached out and hesitantly patted his hand. "Tell me of you?"

"That sounds it, though I came from a large family so it would be sort of normal." He missed normal.

He glanced at their hands then smiled back up at her.

"Me? I moved back from London not that long ago. No-one seems to know what to say to me or what I'm supposed to be doing." He kept what he had to say deliberatly vague considering where they were and the fact of what he wanted to say was mostly classified.

"Well you are welcome to come over any time you wish. I will personally vouch for you as my guest." S

he smiled. She liked seehim him smiling at her. He looked to her like a bloke that needed to smile much more often. This Ianto was different, more guarded. She could see the worry in his eyes. It was very sad to see.

"It is nice to be home, isn't it? A place you know. I miss France on occasion. Not that I do not enjoy my time here. Still, it is not home. Home is... Well Home is where the heart is, they say."

"You don't have to discuss it, whatever it is. We can talk of other things?"

	"I'd like that." No he'd love it, but he wouldn't say that. "I don't know yet, but things are looking like they could be improving." It was as he said improving that he heard thunder. "We should probably find somewhere to stay dry." He offered her a hand hoping they could get to one of the underpasses or part of the castle before it started to rain heavy.

She smiled. Her cheeks reddened slightly and she looked up at the sky at the thunder. Of course it would rain on a day like today. A day that was looking so good, so promising and hopeful. Her eyes moved back down to Ianto, straying to his hand.

"That sounds rather wonderful." She took his hand and stood up. "Lead on. Though I must state, I won't melt if water should fall."

	"Oh?" He held her hand a little tighter, smiling. "Might have to keep you outside then so when it does rain I get to see if you're telling the truth." He looked up at the sky hopefully and looked back at her as the first few drops fell on him. "I hope you don't. It'd be such a waste of beauty." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Well, then perhaps it might not be a good idea to test that?" Tugging his hand, she pulled him up from the bench and off toward the castle. Just then, the water began to fall. Sadly, they wouldn't be able to escape the rain. Some of her hair grew wet and began to stick to her cheeks. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ianto pulled his jacket off and held it over their heads, as best he could before he let it drop onto his head holding it still up over Reinette while allowing him a free hand to move her hair from her face. It was of course something from some chick movie but he had to do it, she could always push him away from her for leaning in and kissing her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Reinette smiled rather shyly when he did that. There was still a part of her that didn't want to kiss him. Kissing him meant that she had to face the fact that she had been trying to get over him. With every touch, she was forgetting that. And still, she kissed him back. Her eyes fluttered closed and for one brief moment, she let herself be happy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Ianto wasn't sure at what point he realised there was a little nagging voice at the back of his mind telling him he needed to stop kissing Reinette and pick up his jacket from the ground. He wasn't certiain when he damn thing had fallen off his head and they were in the rain and he just wanted to keep kissing her like that. He pointedly ignored the voice, that was the 'old' Ianto the one who worked in London, he wasn't in London so he wasn't going to behave like that. And kissing Reinette was much too good to stop even if he got hit by lightening and killed then he'd certainly have a smile on his face.

Reinette smiled softly, leaning back against a tree. She was really enjoying the snog, getting into it. Her hands moved up to wrap around his neck and one of her hands played with the soft hair at the back of his neck. His lips were soft, she thought to herself.

Reluctantly, she pulled away though. Someone had to be the strong person and it clearly wasn't going to be him. She couldn't get sucked into this again. She didn't want to be hurt again.

"Thought we were going to get shelter," she asked quietly. This was no shelter. The water was still dripping through the trees and her clothes now clung to her curves.

"You mean this isn't enough?" He joked, then he realised they were both soaked and staying out and catching cold wouldn't be fun exactly.

"Should go and get dry." Little better than him nearly saying he wanted to get her out of those wet clothes, he had some sense as she had pulled away from him. "Is yours very far?" He wanted her to be comfortable, that was all. Nothing else.

"Well a castle was mentioned. And we're under a tree now. What if it is struck or something? I would rather like to live, at least one more day..." She chuckled, reaching up and brushing her fingertips against his cheek.

She was hesitant. And more so than just what Jack might think. Though to be honest, she did not know what they would feel about her bringing anyone back to the house. "I... I am unsure." Her cheeks reddened again. "Where... Where is yours?"

	"Make sure it's more than a day. I'd like to get to know you." He turned to kiss her fingers. "Not far, if I still live there." He really hoped he still lived there. "Wouldn't be good to be struck by lightning." He stepped back wondering if it was worth it to run or just walk. Already wet after all. (Reply to this) (Parent)

She smiled, looking up at him with concern. Her head tilted to the side and she watched him, one eyebrow raised. Her hand reached out and she threaded her fingers with his.

"You may... If you have keys in your pocket or an ID, you may. When I first arrived here, the person I replaced, I took over their flat. This place seems a bit... odd like that." She looked up at him, unable to hide her blushing. Did he have to kiss her like that?

"I want to get to know you again..."

	He searched in his pockets as best he could with his free hand until he had to let go of Reinettes hand to search the others, finally finding a set of keys and an id that said he was well, him. "I'm me." Ianto smiled as he put the id back and held the keys. "And I have a place. So you can get dry." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She laughed, looking at him. "Well I do not know where it is." She took his hand again. "If we are to go, you have to lead me there." Men really were rather silly sometimes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I think I can manage that." He started off in one direction, then stopped. "Wrong way." He smiled at her, turning around and walking in the right direction for the address he'd read on the drivers license. (Reply to this) (Parent)
