“I did say it was a bad idea.” said Ianto.
“You’ve mentioned.” Jack said curtly, shifting one of the short logs that was apparently going to act as a support beam for their shelter. “Although how you managed to foresee that our plane would crash land on a remote desert island - that’s what I’d really like to know.”
“I have special powers - fuck!” Ianto pushed against the east “wall” which was starting to tip over again.
“What was that about magical sex?” asked Jack, stepping back from the post, hands hovering in case it tipped over again.
Ianto’s smart remark was swallowed by the thunder overhead.
“It’s coming.” Jack remarked.
“No shit.” Ianto snapped, trying to get to his feet as he tried to straighten the wall. “Would you help me with this?”
Jack ducked under the floppy canvas roof and helped him push the wall straight. “We should try propping up with rocks.”
Ianto sat back on his heels. “I told you we shouldn’t flown Oceanic.” he said
“Odds of them having two planes that crash on a desert island are pretty small.” Jack sighed “You want to try looking on the bright side, Ianto?”
“You mean that we aren’t floating in flaming pieces over the Pacific Ocean?”
Jack waved a hand. “Try brighter.”
Ianto smirked. “The constant tropical storms will prepare you for the weather in Wales.”
Jack smiled. “Brighter.”
“After that incident with the polar bear, nothing my parents do if -“ Ianto looked at Jack and paused. “- when we finally get back to civilisation is going to scare you off.”
Jack leant down and kissed him on the top of the head. “That’ll do for now.”
“You were expecting me to say something else?” Ianto asked, raising an eyebrow
Jack shrugged “Something along the lines of, we’re alone on this island,”
“Aside from the polar bear.”
“Aside from the polar bear. Probably for a long time. On this beautiful island. All alone.” he said, giving Ianto a pointed look.
Ianto snorted “Only you could see this as an opportunity to get laid.”
“And an opportunity for several fire-lit dinners of bananas, coconuts and edible insects.” said Jack with a grin.
Ianto pulled a face. “How romantic.”
