The Ghosts of Torchwood Three: Kissing Emmett Meyer (Torchwood, PG-13 Jack/OMC)
The Ghosts of Torchwood Three
Emmett Meyer
It had been a long day for the Torchwood team, having successfully saving the city again from a potential alien threat. Jack had sent the team home (including Ianto) and was now sitting in his office filling in the necessary paperwork. His eyes started to droop causing him to lose concentration on the task at hand. Even if he rarely slept, he couldn’t help but lay his head down on the table and close his eyes.
“Hey get up sleepy head.” A young Londoner accent yelled and felt a finger poking into his stomach. Jack opened his eyes and saw a young man in his early twenties with light brown hair combed back, hard blue eyes, wearing a vest over a blue shirt and black trousers. He rubbed his eyes a bit and looked around; noticing that the hub was quite different and that he had been sleeping on the couch.
“Alright, you don’t have to poke me.” He replied sitting up with a smile, “Where’s everyone else?”
“Gone home, I decided to stay behind for awhile.” The young man replied smiling back, “I’ll leave you to it then.”
Jack smiled as the young man started to walk off. It was happening again, he was dreaming about the old days of Torchwood like he always did when he fell asleep. This time he had woken up in the year 1925, when the handsome 24 year old Emmett Meyer was working for Torchwood Three and would soon become his lover. This was the night Emmett had surprised him.
“It’s alright you could come sit with me for awhile if you want.” Jack said which made Emmett turn back around.
Emmett smiled before walking back and sat down, a little away from Jack. Jack remembered how he wished Emmett has sat closer to him so he could kiss his soft lips. Emmett was young and still trying to find his way around Torchwood. So he never knew what Emmett’s sexuality was and if he would be offended by Jack’s flirting. So he had kept his distance.
“You did a good job today Emmett,” Jack remarked, “With that blowfish.” He added while ruffling Emmett’s light brown hair.
“Thanks, though you did a great job,” Emmett replied, being rather modest, “Are you done?” He asked when he noticed Jack’s hand on his hair.
Jack removed his hand, “Sorry, it’s just I like your hair.”
Emmett seemed to blush at that statement but held his composure. Turning away from Jack, he started to look around the hub. Thinking random thoughts through his mind, about the blowfish, the lovely Sarah who he loved and now Jack, the other person he loved. He looked back at Jack and without thinking moved closer, placing his lips onto Jack’s. For the moment there is silence as the two men slipped away from the hub for awhile in their minds.
“Are you two still here?” Sarah Knightly asked which broke the two men apart. She hadn’t seen the kiss but assumed that she had interrupted something.
“Oh hello Sarah, I didn’t know you were still here.” Emmett said going a little red in the cheeks, “Um need help with anything?”
“Yes I need to take these bags down to the archives.” She replied with a smile.
Emmett winked at Jack before taking one of the bags off Sarah. Jack smiled at both of them before they walked off towards the archives. Emmett’s kiss had thrown him but it gave him the information he needed. Smiling to himself he lay back down and closed his eyes.
Waking up to the smell of a fresh cup of Ianto Jones’ coffee.
