Ianto ran quickly through the trees, dodging their grasping branches and jumping their treacherous roots which sought to trip him; send him sprawling to the merciless ground as his assailant grew closer.
He was panting for breath and his eyes scanned the woods around him but couldn't see far into the thick undergrowth, hoping that meant that he couldn't be seen either.
A branch clawed at his face as he turned to look back over his shoulder for any sign of his pursuer, forgetting to watch the ground in front of him. He felt himself falling to the floor, his arms flailing uselessly beside him as his body came in to harsh contact with the ground. He quickly scrambled to his feet and began to run as fast as his body would go, deeper into the woods.
Ianto paused: stopping to catch his breath and take in his surroundings; listening for any sounds that would give away the location of his enemy. He heard the sound of a twig snapping. He whipped round but not in time to prevent it. He felt the impact of the projectile on his chest well before he had a chance to see it. He glanced down at the red substance that covered his chest.
"YES! I win!" Jack crowed happily waving the paintball gun around in the air. Ianto growled before grinning mischievously and firing several of his blue paint bullets at an oblivious Jack who was still celebrating his victory. The impact of the shots knocked Jack over and he landed unceremoniously on his backside in the mud, much to Ianto's amusement.
"You're going to pay for that" Jack growled, his eyes twinkling suggestively.
"You'll have to catch me first" Ianto stated, still laughing.
They looked at each other for a moment before Ianto quickly raced off into the tress, Jack chasing determinedly after him.
