A/N – A really short ficlet because I'm feeling really down today and so many people gushing about getting tickets for John and Gareth's shows this spring isn't helping since I'm in the US and have no hope of seeing them.
The End is Where We Start From
I love you.
Don't.
Darkness
He could feel himself slipping away.
"DON'T!"
A short feeling of falling, then pain.
Sharp pain radiating from his back and arm.
Opening his eyes, he saw a strangely familiar silhouette blocking out the overhead light.
…fall." Came a voice softer than before.
"Too late." Ianto grunted.
"You okay? Good thing I decided to check this place out. Can't have you falling asleep on the job." The stranger smiled and held out his hand.
Ianto took it and allowed the other man to pull him to his feet.
"I'm fine. Nothing bruised but my pride." He answered dusting off his jacket and trousers.
"Odd place for a tourist office."
Ianto shrugged. "Family business."
The other man smiled a glorious smile. "Captain Jack Harkness, nice to meet you. And you are?"
Ianto found himself blushing. How could a simple introduction sound so suggestive?
"Jones. Ianto Jones."
Jack chuckled. "So, Jones. Ianto Jones. Since it's painfully obvious you're not entirely busy. Mind showing a fellow the sights?"
Ianto chuffed. "Are you asking me out on a date?"
Jack grinned. "Interested?"
"Well…" the Welshman hesitated.
"Is that a yes?" Jack leaned forward.
The younger man's thoughts flashed to what had clearly been a dream - A very exciting dream. Time to live a little, he decided.
"Yes."
End.
Reviews are love.
Yeah, kind of stupid. But it fixes what was a horrible mistake and made me smile. So there.
