That's definitely fair. More than fair. I mean. I honestly don't remember writing that text, but. It's not...it's not a lie, exactly. I certainly didn't mean right away, either. I mean, we've barely...the two of us...

I don't really think adding Jack into the mix would be a very good idea just yet.

[locked]

[parked]

I don't think it's something for right now, yeah. But - I can see the appeal.

[locked]

[torchwoodteaboy]

Yes, well. I do... I mean, with both of you individually, anyway. It's just.

It really should wait until I feel more comfortable talking about it. Or well, "we", like you said, but. Somehow, of the three of us, I get the feeling that the least talkative about this sort of thing would be me...

[locked]

[parked]

Well, now I know to get you drunk if we need to discuss anything and you're being quiet.

[locked]

[torchwoodteaboy]

Well. Yes, I suppose that that's one way of doing it. I'm just not sure that I really like where that thought is going, though.

[locked]

[parked]

Don't worry, Ianto. I won't do anything to lead you astray.

[locked]

[torchwoodteaboy]

You know, I think I recall Jack saying something similar to that, and I didn't really believe him either.

[parked]

I'm not Jack.

[parked]

Remember, I've got all my boyscout badges. It's practically impossible for me to lead you off the moral high road.

[locked]

[torchwoodteaboy]

I... I know you're not. I'm glad you're not, you know.

I think that you'll find that its relatively easy to lead me off the moral high road. You just have to present me with a good enough reason for doing so. Not... Not that I'm suggesting you should. Just. Stating the facts.

[locked]

[parked]

I don't think dating two Jacks would be easy for you in any way, shape or form, so I can see why you'd be glad.

Uh huh.

[locked]

[torchwoodteaboy]

No, it really wouldn't be. But... That's not the only reason why I'm glad you're not like Jack, you know.

What?

[locked]

[parked]

Oh yeah?

Sometimes your "stating the facts" does sound a lot like suggesting.

[locked]

[torchwoodteaboy]

Yeah.

Does it, now?

[locked]

[parked]

I'm just calling it like I see it, Mr. Jones. It's almost like you'd prefer me being the wolf in sheep's clothing, or something, rather than actually have good intentions and a pure heart.

[locked]

[torchwoodteaboy]

Sorry. I just... I guess I've spent so much time with Jack that it's still a little hard to accept that there really are nice guys out there who aren't in this for any sort of ulterior motive or anything. Like you, for example, if you are really as much as a boyscout as you claim to be.

[locked]

[parked]

Okay, maybe I'm not exactly a boyscout. But I really don't have any ulterior motives. Remember, I have a terrible poker face. There's no way I could keep something from you, not really.

[locked]

[torchwoodteaboy]

I...think you already know about how good my poker face is. I'm getting better at it all, though. Like I've said before, I really don't want to lie to you and well. So far so good, which. I'm actually a little surprised about, really. I don't have the best of track records on these things.

[locked]

[parked]

Well, I'm glad that you don't lie to me. There's no reason to, you know - if you want to talk about something, like this or... well, just anything. You don't have to hide it.

[locked]

[torchwoodteaboy]

I know. I won't. I just.

There are things that I'll need to talk to you about, sometime. Well, tell you about, really. I just. I don't want to scare you away with them, I suppose. That's why I've held back on it. There are only so many depressing points I can comfortably subject you to, you know?

[locked]

[parked]

You're not going to scare me away. I defended you against a ghost, remember? I'm terrified of ghosts. If something literally frightening hasn't chased me away from you, I'm pretty sure you're stuck with me.

But I don't want you to tell me anything that you don't want me to. I just want you to know you can be open with me.

[locked]

[torchwoodteaboy]

Yeah, I remember. Thank you for that, by the way. I know I've said it since, but. Really.

It's fine. Honestly. I'll get there eventually. I want to get there eventually. "Ghosts and all", like you said.

[locked]

[parked]

Thank you for helping me after I got knocked down by that glass. I don't know what would've happened if you hadn't taken charge there.

All right. Well, I'll be here, whenever you get there.

[locked]

[torchwoodteaboy]

Well. Nothing good, I gather. Which is why I stepped up then, as it is. I won't lie, though, it absolutely terrified me to see you that out of it and bleeding so much. I'm not generally the one out in the field, having to deal with that sort of thing.

Yeah. I know. And I'm glad for it. Especially of the fact that you'll be patient with me about it all. It's nice. Refreshing, being able to share in my own time, and all.

[locked]

[parked]

I'm glad you held together for it. I don't remember much of anything after that, to be honest.
