One night when the Rift was quiet Ianto and Jack were back at Ianto’s flat. Jack was sitting around watching TV and Ianto was sitting on the end of the couch with his diary writing at a fast pace.
“What are you doing?” Jack asked.
“What does it look like I’m doing?” Ianto said a bit snarkily.
“I know you are writing in your diary, but I’ve never seen you write so fast. You usually take your time and make sure everything is perfect.”
“I just want to get this written.”
“Ianto, is something wrong.? It’s like your trying to hide this from me.”
“I’m fine.”
Jack just looked over at Ianto who kept writing furiously. Jack decided he was going to see what Ianto was writing. So Jack sneaks over to Ianto’s side of the couch and grabs Ianto’s diary, with a grin.
“Stop that Jack!”
“I just want to see what’s making you so tense.” He flips open to where Ianto was writing and as Ianto is furiously trying to grab back his diary, Jack reads aloud: “Ianto’s Wish List.” Ianto just smacks his head into his hands.
“This is so sweet. You have a wish list. Now is this stuff you want to happen or stuff you want to do?” Jack asked with real interest.
“Stop mocking me.” Ianto said as his eyebrows were furrowed into a scowl.
“I’m not mocking you. I’m interested. I want to be able to help you. I care about you.”
Ianto had the look of death placed on Jack. “I can’t believe your reading my diary again. And this time I’m around.”
“I’m sorry, I just hate seeing you so tense.” Jack replied, while placing a soft kiss on Ianto’s forehead. With that Kiss Ianto couldn’t stay mad at Jack forever so he just opened up a little bit.
“It’s my list of things I want to do, before I die. I try to keep it updated since you know working for Torchwood, doesn’t give us a long lifespan. And the fact that I should have died at least three times already.” Ianto said as he nuzzled his head into Jack’s neck.
“So what’s on your list.”
“Well…”
- Make over the archives
- Travel around Europe with Jack
- Get back in touch with my family
- Make my relationship with Jack stronger
“Ianto, this is a beautiful list. I can help you see the world. You know that.”
“I know Jack, I know.” I just feel odd sharing my secrets with you.”
“Why would you want to hide things you want to do?”
“We’re Torchwood Jack. Our lives don’t matter. We are at the Rifts mercy.”
Jack just gave Ianto a long hug and a soft embrace, and ended the night with a soft kiss. Jack had no idea what to say to Ianto, because no matter what they do he was right, they are at the Rifts mercy.
Um yeah this prompt kicked my ass. Plus I was distracted by Jeff Dunham and Dane Cook on Comedy Central.
