oh my!
...I've just discovered that the last time I posted fic was on the third of October. That's almost two whole months ago. I am feeling somewhat numbed by this revelation and request the biggest kick up the arse my flist has to offer. No, seriously. Someone please prompt me or something to aid in the getting back of the groove, because at the moment ( Read more... )
"I'd really rather not," Ianto said, stiffening, "if it's all the same to you, sir."
Jack gave the canvas bag he'd been struggling with one final heave, grunting with satisfaction as it jammed itself into the boot of the SUV just long enough to allow him to slam the door shut. Turning, Jack's grin of triumph slipped from his face as he looked at the closed expression on Ianto's own face.
"But... why ever not?" Jack asked, with honest perplexity. Ianto raised an eyebrow at the Captain's question.
"You certainly haven't forgotten 'Operation Countrycide', have you?" Ianto prompted. "You remember- with the Welsh cannibals? Where we all nearly became dinner?"
Jack waved his hand dismissively, "Oh come on, Ianto, that was once. You were camping before that incident, I don't see why one little setback should put you off for life."
"I beg your pardon?" Ianto gaped at Jack. "I believe you missed the part where I was tenderised and about to have my throat slit open. Can't think why that should stick in your memory of course, as insignificant as that one incident was."
"I didn't mean it like that..." Jack raised his hands in a gesture of surrender. Ianto lifted his chin defiantly, his hands flexing at his sides.
"How then did you mean it, sir?"
"Ianto..." Jack stepped forward, reaching out to take Ianto's hands into his own. Ianto met his gaze with determined stubbornness and Jack grinned softly at him. "I'm sorry, I really don't mean to make what happened in the Brecon's seem in anyway insignificant. I was there, I know what all of you had to go through, and if I hadn't been as terrified of losing you all as I was, I'd have murdered the lot of them."
"Jack-," Ianto managed the Captain's name before Jack shook his head to still his words.
"I'm not saying this to make you feel bad, Ianto, just to remind you that I was there as well. To remind you that it was one of the many situations we're forced to face in this job and that we can't let them get the better of us."
"I'm not afraid to go camping, Jack. We never actually got to that bit, if you recall. I just... why temp fate? We'll be out in the middle of nowhere, our communications will be out of range, Gwen and Tosh with exchange subtle but snarky comments with each other, Owen will complain about everything and anything to anyone who'll listen, and us? We'll be... miserable."
"...who said anything about the rest of the team coming along?" Jack's grin widened slightly.
"I- what?" Ianto blinked.
"I'm not asking you along on a mission, Ianto, I'm asking you out on a 'weekend-away'." He stepped in closer, his grin pressing against Ianto's cheek.
"But..." Ianto's mouth went suddenly dry. "Camping, sir?"
"Cannibal situation aside, why not?" Jack purred into his ear, "You and me, a tent, miles away from any kind of interruption... plenty of lube," here he pulled away enough to waggle his eyebrows at Ianto who couldn't help but smile, his cheeks reddening just slightly.
"And communications?" Ianto asked, somewhat breathlessly.
"Only if we turn our phones back on." He squeezed at Ianto's hands. "What do you say?"
Ianto paused, wetting his lips a moment before allowing his face to break out into a smile, "I believe you've convinced me to give camping one more try, sir."
