Ianto felt a great number of emotions flush through him, and it felt as though they played across his face, obvious as a blush (though more likely they came across as a mere tensing of his jaw). The gall of the man to say such things! Sheppard had been horrid to Ianto since he'd arrived, and then of course there was the unhappy accident of the fact that he had arrived first, that he had met this version of Jack first. Sheppard seemed to live a happy-go-lucky, charmed life, and Ianto resented him for it.
"In my old life," Ianto began slowly, "I knew a bloke who was terrible to me. Seemed to think it was his duty to take the mickey out of me, and he was rather nasty about it. I worked with him. In hindsight, it might have been a sort of sibling rivalry. I started after he did, and he was petulant. I did some things that made it worse, he did some things that made it worse. In the end, I shot him."
Sheppard's reaction was satisfyingly taken aback.
"In the shoulder. After this, I think we got on much better. Especially after the world almost ended. Though I didn't stay long after that, so it's difficult to say. At any rate, although you are in some ways quite different from him--you're taller, for one thing--in other ways you remind me of him."
He offered a small smile. "I'd rather not have to shoot you, though," he said. "Shall we say we shan't let it come to that?"
"Oh, no," Sheppard said. "I don't get shot. Get turned into a bug, yeah. Get my life sucked out of me, that too. More than once. Never so mundane as getting shot. That stuff I leave to Ronon. He digs the arrow or the transmitter or whatever out of his own leg and then we all move on. Or Rodney, he's been shot, too."
Ianto wondered if Sheppard had listened to a word that had been said.
