WHEN: early morning; day 23.
RATING: G rated of course! Would I lie?
STATUS: Active

There had been a multitude of things running through Jack's head lately as he tossed and turned in their bed. Well, not so much tossing and turning as holding tight to Ianto and staring blankly out into space. Right then. The talk of zombies the past few days had been one that was less than pleasant. Jack knew he had taken the coward's way out and hid but this? This was one thing he didn't know if his body coul handle. so in this instance, he had thought it better to err on the side of caution and stay where he knew he was safe.

Now, though... if they were still around, Jack was ready to start kicking ass and taking names. Shoot first, ask questions later -- which would have been all well and good had Jack had a pistol in his possession.

Right, then.

Jack nestled closer to Ianto, an arm curled protectively around his lover's waist and kept him pulled in against his chest. It was strange -- for so many Vas Captio was a place of horror -- which it was for the two of them, mind. But at the same time, it was a place that had pulled them even closer together as of late. Things Rose had said -- had chided him on, even were starting to sink in bit by bit.

Yes, Jack was completely aware of just how deep he'd gotten over the past few weeks. Amazing what a state of constant fear would do to a person. He, however, did not want to admit to Rose that she was right, damn her.

And what was that?

Frowning, Jack almost gagged on a scent he knew far too well: decomposing flesh. There wasn't anything like it in the world. Turning his head, Jack found himself looking into the lifeless eyes of one Martha Jones.

"Fuck," Jack swore, hips pushing Ianto to get him to move. "Ianto, whatever you do, don't look behind me."

"No, we don't," Jack replied with a sigh. He returned the gentle squeeze, smiling as Ianto curled closer to him. In the end, Jack abandoned the hand holding and slid his arm around Ianto, letting the other man lean against him. "Shame we don't have Logan any more," Jack mused. "I'd tell him to dig the graves like the dog that he is." A beat pause. "Was."

Jack frowned at that, eyebrows knitting together. "What do you mean?" Jack asked, rubbing Ianto's side with his fingers. "I know we are more used to a situation like this with our line of work." Jack snorted softly. God, what did that say for them and Torchwood? "If you're not well-balanced, what does that say for me?" Jack looked down at Ianto and sighed softly, hearing Rose's voice in the back of his mind. No, he wasn't saying any of that. "Everyone else is falling apart around us," Jack said, picking up on the silent words. "And yet you and I..."

"And yet you and I are doing fine. Maybe not thriving, but doing fine." Ianto finished up the thought for Jack right after he rolled his eyes at the Logan comment. Figures Jack'd say something like that. Even if Logan did seem to be a jerk.

Granted, Jack could be just as big of a jerk, so Ianto had no space to comment.

Instead, he hooked fingers in Jack's beltloops and squashed the tiny voice in his head that murmured about them being dangerously close to couply things. "It says you need to be more than slighty crazy to be in Torchwood. Wonder how Gwen slipped through the screening process."

Logan was a jerk and Jack liked to think that his still being around and alive proved who was the winner of that Death-Off once and for all. But that was utterly beside the point right now wasn't it? Yes, yes it was. "Oh I don't know..." Jack drawled, rocking his hips against Ianto's. "I'd say that part of our relationship is thriving quite nicely."

Yes, Jack. Turn everything into a conversation about sex. It was a true talent of his.

"Oh no," Jack said, rolling over so that Ianto was pinning him. "She was a bit on the nuts side. I always make sure of everyone's mental capacities. You're a bit more sane than her. She has Rhys, you have me. I think that says a lot right there for the whole 'crazy' bit." Jack paused, considering. "That and your arse looks better in jeans than hers does."
