!active, day 23, jack harkness, location: gym, rose tyler

Who: Jack Harkness and Rose Tyler
What: Rose could use some common sense right now...who knew it'd be Jack?!?
When: Day 23, Late afternoon
Where: The Gym
Rating: Rated Jack for crudeness, swearing, and potential leering ;)
Status: Active

The bodies were gone, but the memory of them lying there still lingered. Rose could close her eyes and easily picture her best mate's future self, or Chris' dead mother. Who the hell were these people that they even had the ability to do it? And why, if they were so keen on studying people and their reactions, would they be so willing to let them die?

And the most terrifying thought in her head...could Chris possibly be next?

She'd been taking shifts by that point, watching over the sickly Whitelighter. She and Connor tended to switch on and off, but sometimes they sat and shared idyll chit chat. Why not? It was likely going to be a long night for anyone who cared at all about Chris. And there really wasn't much they could do except keep the wound as clean as possible and get fluid into him. At that point, it was basically wait and see.

But waiting meant time to think, and thinking wasn't exactly beneficial for her. She thought about the Time Lords, both of them, and what they meant to her future self. She thought about home and how much she missed her mum, and even Mickey. She thought about a future without the Doctor and hated Remy LeBeau all over again. Really, it wasn't a good day to be Rose, was it?

Leaving Connor at Chris' side, she wandered the gym, afraid to go any further than that. If the worst happened, she'd be there. She wouldn't be one of those who ran in fear when the darkness came. If travelling with the Doctor had taught her nothing, it was to face fear and pain and death head on. He'd survived the loss of his entire planet; she could face losing one person, no matter who it was. Even when the day came that it'd be him.

The thought caused her to choke up all over again. She stood at the front door to the gymnasium, looking out at the suffocating darkness. She was sure the sun would have to come back up sooner or later. But who would still be around to see it?

On that, Jack would have to agree with Miss Tyler. There were times that Jack had thought he had gotten beyond that tough outer exteriour the Doctor had concocted around himself and there were others when Jack felt like he hadn't gotten anywhere with him. Part of Jack wondered if it would have gotten easier once he was made immortal but it seemed the 'abomination' bit tended to get in the way of a few things such as getting close. Rose didn't know everything about Jack -- but then again, Ianto didn't know everything either. But of everyone here? They did know the most.

Jack was very fit -- in more ways than one. And while he may have been happily taken, Jack had his appetites and he liked being able to flirt around; particularly when one considered that his lover didn't mind either. Hell, Ianto would probably want to be included at some point, knowing him. Kinky bastard and Jack so loved him. Jack's hands settled on Rose's hips, shifting just enough to press against her as he wanted. "I think..." Jack rolled his hips, talking around that pesky finger, "all evidence to the contrary about my a, not being larger than most men and b, this assessment that I'm not that damn big."

Oh her crudeness wasn't bad. But don't try and enter into a competition with Harkness, Tyler. You'll lose.

"Who said anything about always bottoming. It's called topping from the bottom, sweetheart."

Jack had the good sense to look abashed. "My assumption was the Doctor. If it's someone else, I think I'll be stapling their lips shut. Assuming I can find a stapler of course." Jack closed his eyes, leaning into her touch with a contented sigh. Frankly, they both needed this. "So, then, who is the bloke I have to castrate?"

Admittedly, with anyone else? This whole scenario would be one hell of a turn on. She was only human, after all. And it had been a while and Rose was emotionally a great big mess that day. But she also knew Jack. And she'd spent plenty of time talking to Ianto. And as much as the two of them might enjoy her little flirtation with Jack, she'd never come between them. Even if she did enjoy the occasional moment like this one.

Besides, she knew ways to his heart. Well... His head. Not the one on his neck, either. "I happen to know," she said with a smirk, especially when he gave her yet more proof of exactly how 'big' he was, "that you're not so large that if I kick your shins, I'll disman you." An innocent, darling look crossed her face as she slung her arms around his neck playfully. "And if you can't function anymore? You won't be topping from any direction."

Jack had thought she'd been snogging the Doctor? Huh. Hardly. A dark look crossed her face and she slid off of his lap with a sigh. "The Doctor? You're kidding, right?" She gave a sarcastic laugh. "He's barely looked at me since...you know. The tall, skinny one, I mean. The one who..." She flicked her tongue over her lower lip as she wrapped her arms around her knees. The one who'd kissed her. Damn men.

But Chris... Chris was something to think about. Someone to care about. It might not have been the attachment she craved, but it was affection, and sweet affection at that. And she'd grown to care about him quickly, and if he didn't make it through this, she knew she'd be hurt. But the thought of him still made her smile. "His name is Chris, and I don't recommend stapling anything. You'd have me to deal with. I'm a big fan of those lips." She nestled into his shoulder with a small smile. "He's this huge sweetheart, Jack. And he's so sick..." She glanced over her shoulder towards the gym. Surely if anything had gone wrong, Lexie or Connor or someone would've told her. Right? "And he doesn't kiss me then turn my entire world upside down and then ignore me," she added with a bitter look.

Rose Tyler? Was a little bit conflicted.

It'd be a hell of a turn on with anyone else? Oh Rose, don't let Jack ever hear that... he'd be hurt beyond all recognition. Jack did know that Rose would never come between himself and Ianto. Back in Cardiff, he probably would have done anything and everything in his power to figure out why she wasn't hopping into bed with him -- but here and after everything he'd been through... Jack was turning into a one-man man. Didn't mean, however, that he would turn time of cuddling away either.

Rose did know ways to his head... both of them. "You don't know that for sure," Jack replied, adopting an air of innocence. "You might injure me and then, well, Ianto'll be fairly ticked at you." Jack leaned his head forward, nipping at her lips with a grin. "You'd really like to knock your captain down a peg like that? Particularly when he likes being the peg?"

God, why was he so adamant that Rose and the Doctor be together? Right... because he knew what happened. Knew that Rose had to care enough about him to want to leave that Parallel world and come find him. If they got out of here -- things had to be set right.

"Name's Chris, eh?" Jack said, rubbing his chin. "Well, I'll have to have a bit of a 'chat' with him soon. something along the lines of if he even thinks of doing anything, he has to get through me first. And you know first-hand just how indestructible I really am." Jack followed her line of sight, the teasing expression leaving his face when he saw her concern. "Rose Tyler -- you know full well that you wouldn't have it be 'easy'. It's the hard that makes it good." He smiled, lightly kissing her cheek.

"Besides, I could always turn your world upside down... and usually do, I know... and ignore you -- and you'd still come back to me."

Jack? Egotistical? Never.

She'd knock Jack Harkness down as many pegs as she liked if he kept that up. Sliding off of his lap, Rose settled at his side, nestling herself against his side. Just because she didn't want to be that close didn't by any means mean she didn't need the closeness he offered. "Jack, I spent my entire life without a dad to get in the way, and Mum always trusted my choices. Don't you go ruining this for me." Well. Jackie had almost always trusted her. And the one time she'd put up a fight had been Jimmy Stone. And she had been right to. But that was different! Chris wasn't like Jimmy at all.

Then again, how well did she actually know the guy? Still... "Just don't grill him, Jack, please? I'm just getting to know him, I don't need my big bad immortal military man scaring the crap out of him. Besides..." she added with a wicked little grin, "he's a witch. He's magical. Wouldn't want to take that on, would you?" She looked up at Jack with a smirk, tweaking his chin with her thumb and forefinger. "And so freaking hot, while we're at it."

And not the Doctor. Either of them. Because as much as she loved Jack, he'd never once made her feel the way that damn alien did. No matter how hot he was. But she could support his ego just the same. Or...well, maybe not. Someone had to keep him in line. "Besides, Jack, I know you think you're the greatest thing since Raxacoricofallapatorian bread, but...no. You've never hurt me like that and if you did...I wouldn't be fawning all over you, that's for sure."

But it wasn't nice to knock Jack down pegs. He didn't like it and he didn't take too kindly to being knocked down either. He liked being right where he was, thank you very much. Jack grumbled when Rose slid off his lap so he did the next best thing, shifted so that he had a leg on either side of her, chin resting on her shoulder. And, once again, he was back to being perhaps far too close for comfort. Again. As always.

"I'm not ruining anything, I'm just making sure you're taking care of yourself," Jack replied. "And best of all, you can threaten to cut my head off if you get pissed at me and it'll grow right back!" The mocking smile faded as Jack craned his head around a bit further to actually look at Rose. "Big bad immortal military man scaring the crap out of him? Now, would I ever do a thing like that?" Jack asked innocently. "I would never, ever, ever do that. And even if I would... what do I care about some guy who is magical? What part of 'big bad immortal military man' did we forget about?" Jack pouted then. "Come on. Don't call him hot when you have me around. You'll bruise my ego. Irreparably."

"If I hurt you, I'd be doing everything in my power to get you back," Jack said, squeezing his arms around her waist. "And, for the record, I don't think I am -- I know I am the greatest thing since sliced Raxacoricofallapatorian bread. And that's some damn good bread too."
