A Kiss
A kiss is careless of space and time.
Jack's eyes were open up to the moment of release. The star-shot night, the gritty urban air and John's lips, for one lifelong second, dropped him deep into the well of memory. His eyelids closed. Bitter-sweet souvenirs of what he left behind – what he was denying himself even now – gripped him and squeezed him breathless. He was heavy with nostalgia but it was a longing for what never was, what never would be.
Eyes opening, Jack swayed into the ever-rushing present, seeking his steady constants – the stars and Ianto.
