.......three days...You were gone for three days.

Are you in the plaza?

[Yep, trying to hide his overwhelming relief]

[teaboyisms]

Only three? Makes sense - I was gone three days back home as well.

Yep. Same place as last time.

[sometimes_boe]

I'll be there in a moment.

[And he does show up, as promised, towel in-hand. Said towel finds itself around Ianto's shoulders before Jack's lips are on the younger man's in a desperate 'I thought you weren't coming back' kiss.]

[teaboyisms]

[ He's for a moment, not sure what he's happier to see - Jack or the towel. But the second Jack presses against him, he's returning the sentiment. He died. And now he's here again and jack is still here. He kisses the other man back, pulling away to breathe finally. ]

Hi.

Hi. [Jack smiled at him for a moment before he pulled the other man into a tight hug, not really caring if he got wet too. He was just relieved Ianto had come back. Three days for him meant....]

It happened, didn't it? The 456 attack on the MI-5 building.

[ Ianto sighs - resisting the urge to just cling to the other man and not let go, and nods. He gives the other man a small, sad smile. ]

Yeah, it did.

[Dread filled his stomach, but he didn't show it. Instead of giving in to his desire to either kiss Ianto again or keep holding him, he pulled away, although he still kept a hand on the other man's back. Almost like he was afraid, if the parted, Ianto would disappear again.]

Let's go home and get you in dry clothes.

[teaboyisms]

[ Ianto nods, dropping his arms and pulling the towel tighter around his shoulders. He doesn't try to move away from Jack further. ]

That sounds like a very good plan to me.
