Comment fic fill
This week I'm guest host over at comment-fic and I filled this little gem by classics-lover with the prompt -Jack doesn't really care about his healing process - he knows he'll heal sooner or later - but Ianto needs to look after Jack when Jack gets sick/hurt. Then she made the mistake of saying fluff or angst and my find went to angst.
"You're such a jerk!" Ianto slapped Jack the second he revived from a Weevil mauling.
"Ow. What was that for?" Jack rubbed his sore cheek.
Ianto huffed and rolled his eyes. "You are too reckless. That makes the third time you were killed this week and it's Tuesday."
Jack could not fathom why Ianto was so cross with him. "Sometimes it's necessary to get the job done. Besides I always come back." The freshly revived Captain held out his hand to get assistance getting up.
"That doesn't mean I enjoy watching you die and wait for you to revive." Ianto's eyes narrowed to slits and ignored the subtle ask for help. "Get up yourself." The anger in the Welshman's voice made Jack flinch. "Every time you died, I'm the one who stays by your side and waits, wondering if this time is the time you don't come back."
Jack shrunk back, acting every bit of the chastised child he was. He had never bothered to think of the toll his deaths had on his partner. Jack was about to apologise but Ianto cut him off from speaking.
"I'm done waiting and worrying. I'm done period. My resignation will be on your desk in the morning. It's past time for me to go." Ianto turned on his heel and began to walk away, Jack slowly fading into the darkness.
The End!
