Jack was sitting at his desk working on a report and was grateful for the interruption. “Sure,” he replied, gesturing for Ianto to sit down.

He didn’t. Remaining standing just inside the door, he asked, “It’s really slow today, so I was ( Read more... )

Expendable, Pt. 1 (http://harkpad02.livejournal.com/4213.html#cutid1) - Jack finds Ianto sitting on his office floor going through files. He is looking to see how far back Jack goes in the files. "You could have just asked." "It didn't seem polite," Ianto countered.

Tosh sat down at the table in the pub and said quietly to Ianto, “Are you and Jack okay?”

He looked startled, but answered, “Why?”

Tosh leaned into his shoulder, “You’ve been really quiet this week, and you two seem to be avoiding each other.”

A deep breath. Ianto needed a deep breath to calm himself, to get himself in a place where he could assess the situation. So he tried to breathe deeply, the initial intake feeling good against his lungs, but his throat constricted again and he couldn’t get enough air. It felt like someone was strangling his throat with cold hands, but there was no ( Read more... )

Jack sighed and seemed to try and shove his hands even farther down his pockets, resulting in a slouch that diminished him a bit. “Yeah, sorry,” was all he offered.

Ianto shrugged, “It’s okay. Just unusual.” Jack usually hated silence and would fill it with any sort of babble he could think of until something either happened to shut him up or until ( Read more... )

The couch was lumpy and uneven, and Ianto could feel every inconsistency in the cushion he was sitting on. He felt like the proverbial finder of the pea in his discomfort, but he also felt like there was nowhere else he could be at the moment. If he went outside, he’d want to scream into the darkness of the cold, black night. If he went home to his ( Read more... )
