!dropped, day 15, jack harkness, location: museum, rose tyler

Who: Jack Harkness and Rose Tyler
What: Reunited (and it feels so good!)
Where: Just Outside the Museum
When: Day 15, early evening, around 7ish
Rating: PG-13ish
Status: Active

When she'd first woken up in this horrible place, Rose had been able to acknowledge that it was strange. There was obviously something off about it and it didn't take a genius like her traveling companion to figure that out. Even her slower mind could follow. But now... Now, it wasn't just creepy. It was cruel. There was torture around every turn and fear in most everyone's eyes, even if they didn't show it on the surface. She'd gotten good at watching people lately, and she knew she was in serious trouble just by watching the others. They all were.

Despite warnings to not go off by herself, Rose...was, well, Rose. Going off by herself was what she did best. Right behind getting into trouble alone and getting out of trouble with help. Besides, she wasn't going far. It was getting dark, even if just barely, and she didn't trust herself to not get into real truoble. So she walked outside of the museum, the hostel style environment that the pretty Shannon had invited her to. She hadn't caught sight of Jack yet, but she knew he was around and that's all that mattered. And the Doctor...probably in there being social and meeting everything with a pulse. It was one of those things she loved about him.

Sliding down the wall in front of the building, Rose wrapped herself more tightly in her blue hooded jacket and pulled the hood over her head. She didn't do so in an effort to keep warm; this place was similar to England with its temperatures and though it was likely to get colder as it got later, she wasn't likely to freeze. But it was nice to be able to hide from so many strange faces. As kind as everyone had been, it was still the most surreal thing ever. Plus that feeling that someone was hiding something from her. It was an uneasy sensation, and she curled her arms around her knees as she held her breath and released it slowly, letting the events of the day wash over her.

If asked, Rose wouldn't deny having wanted those moves at one point or another. But the Doctor was a jealous sort, whether any of them knew it or not. The vibe he'd given off had clearly said this flirtation between the two of them was off limits. Not that it had ever stopped them on that level, but it had never gone any further.

Besides. Jack had his Welshman now! As strange as that sounded. It seemed as though he'd known him forever, but he and Rose had confessed an awful lot of things in those quiet moments in the TARDIS, and a gorgeous Welshman named Ianto had never come up.

The expression he gave, the nearly pleading tone... "You're completely mad about him, aren't you?" she sputtered, amusement creeping into her voice. Jack Harkness? In love? "I never thought I'd see it! Oh, you wonderful, adorable man, you're head over heels for this one!" Giggling, her cheeks turned pink. "I just meant the sex!" she admitted.

Oh Rose could deny all she wanted but Jack knew the truth: she wanted him. Who didn't, in the end? No one... that's who. Yes, knowing the Doctor's feelings would have stopped him, but he would forever continue to push that envelope where propriety was concerned.

Yes, Jack did have his Welshman, but he was a Welshman who understood Jack's need for being with other people from time to time. God, what an interesting relationship they had. No, a Welshman never would have come up -- because that Welshman was from far into Jack's future at that point.

"I am not," Jack protested weakly. Why was it Rose Tyler could manage to get such things out of him when even Ianto couldn't? "No, I'm nothing of the sort. He's a fantastic shag and looks damn wonderful in a suit. Three pieces are the preferred, but two aren't bad."

Rose merely smirked. He could deny it all he wanted, but she knew him. She knew him from hours spent gossiping and whispering and sneaking in pranks and goodies behind the Doctor's back. Those eyes, that smile, and of course, his protesting the fact.

"So you are shagging him," she said with a grin, leaning back a bit to study him. "Should've known that much. But...wow." Impulsively, she hugged his arm, just because she was already leaning on it. "Does he know? You're not doing the whole repressed feelings thing, are you? Making him think he's just around for the late night lovins?" Her voice was teasing, but she was honestly just trying to help. Really! "I'd think three pieces would just be more to take off," she added innocently.

Oh for the love of...

"Well, of course I'm shagging him," Jack said, rolling his eyes skyward. "I think it'd be more unusual if I wasn't shagging him and we merely met once a week for tea and crumpets." Saying Jack was in a purely platonic relationship was... well, impossible. He still snuck kisses with Rose when he could.

Jack shook his head. "See a waistline in a waistcoat and you'll agree with me." He said nothing about whether or not Ianto knew. Because he did, and that was all that mattered in the end, wasn't it? "Does he know he looks good in a suit? Yes. He's called me on sexual harassment on more than one occasion."

Rose was laughing helplessly by then, burying her head in Jack's arm to smother the sound. All she needed was one of the others, namely Ianto, to come running out wondering what was wrong. Then she'd never stop laughing.

When she caught her breath, she shook her head and smiled up at him. "Jack, you're impossible, you know that? You've finally got something wonderful and you're going to deny it on me. That's really not fair." That tiny part of her knew they could have had something wonderful, but she wouldn't have been nearly as okay with Jack's...extracurriculars. Which is why they were better for the occasional flirtation than settling down. No one could ever get Jack to manage that, she was nearly certain.

"You're a terrible co-worker, then. Lemme guess, sex on the desk and everything?" If he didn't want to get all heartfelt...well, no, it wasn't fine. Rose needed someone to live vicariously through. But she'd settle. Maybe.

Actually, Jack wouldn't mind if Ianto came out at this point in time. Oh how easily he could angle for a threesome -- Jack knew full-well that Ianto would be up for it. Which was, in a word, fantastic to have a lover that flexible; in more ways than one.

He did, however, poke her in the side when she started laughing. Coupled soon after with him tickling the ever-living crap out of her. He was going to have fun with her, that's what Rose was for afterall. "I never said I had anything wonderful. I just said I had a fantastic shag. You're the one reading through the lines." Lies, Captain Harkness, all lies. "What exactly do you want to hear from me? That I'm head over heels and madly in love with the bloke? Puh-lease."

Jack shook his head. "I'm not a terrible co-worker. I'm a terrible boss. Ianto is one of my employees." He just grinned. "Desk, anywhere in the Hub, the showers in the lower levels. Just tended to stay away from the cells. Handcuffs are one thing, but could never get the stench of Weevil out and it really ruins the mood."

"Stop it, stop it, stop it!" she demanded, swatting at his hands. "You behave, or I'm telling!" Who she'd tell remained to be seen. She had no idea just how...flexible Ianto was. But the Doctor? Not quite so flexible. Though hopefully he'd just be so happy to see Jack in this awful place that he'd let it go.

"I'm reading through the lines because I'm right!" she insisted, grinning. But how could he be his boss? That didn't make any sense at all. Free lance Time Agents didn't lead people. They led people on, mind you. On trips hurtling through space to London. But that was completely besides the point. The point was, what was a Hub and how did a Welshman get there with a 51st century Time Agent?

Again, she didn't ask questions, merely let her curiousity absorb. She'd attempt to piece it all together later. "You're a sleeze, you know that? Have you two ever even bothered to use a bed?"
