Two young men, barely men, sat huddled in the dark cell. Brown eyes met blue as the brown- eyed youth shivered, inching closer to the blue- eyed youth.
" Are you okay?" Asked blue eyes.
" Yeah" Brown lied
"Andrew, I'm so sorry." When Andrew didn't reply, the blue eye youth spoke. "Really it is all my fault. It is always my fault."
Fear gripped Andrew's heart as he heard these words. "No it isn't!" He yelled. "It was I who wouldn't leave you!" He was barely able to fight back the hot tears that were streaming down his cheeks.
"It's going to be alright." Blue eyes tried to soothe the fear away. Andrew looked in to those eyes and leaned in to the kiss that was offered. Blue eyes forced all he could into the kiss because words would never be enough to convey his real feelings.
Andrew realized that it was never going to be okay, that it would never be right again. This could be their last moments together. When the kiss broke, Andrew looked up at his friend/lover.
" Okay. I'm fine now." Andrew tried a smile.
" Andy, when we get out of here, you're going to art school. I want you to be famous! "
Andrew went to protest but was cut off by a finger on his lips. "I won't let you worm your way out of it Andy, this is what I want for us." A small laugh passed his lips.
"I love you," Andrew said.
Their lips met again, only to be violently pulled apart by incredibly fast creatures. They dragged Andrew kicking and screaming away form the other youth. Pinning blue eyes to the wall he screamed, "Don't take him! Leave him alone take me instead!" The struggle was over in moments. The blue-eyed youth was alone. Tears filled his eyes as Andrew's warmth faded.
"Andy, please forgive me!" He slid down the wall and cried.
Jack woke with a start. Tears slid down his cheeks as if he was back in that cell. He was shivering slightly. The dream felt so real this time. Shaking he sat up and gazed at Ianto next to him. Ianto curled up beside him shifted into an awakened state.
"Jack, are you alright?"
" Yeah, just a bad dream." Seeing the concern in the younger man's face, Jack corrected himself. "Really, it was nothing. I'm fine now."
"Was it like the others?"
"No, not like the others." Suddenly Jack found him self stretched out on Ianto's chest, with his arms folded as a headrest. Ianto stroked Jack's hair. Kissing his head lightly, Jack purred.
"You know you can tell me anything." Ianto said.
Jack chuckled "I would rather have you come up with ways of helping me forget."
In one swift motion Ianto flipped Jack over and straddled his chest. Leaning in for a kiss, Ianto replied, " I think I can manage that." Jack sighed, allowing the younger man to distract his thoughts.
