Sleeping Beauty ; Chapter 8
Jack grabbed the bottle from John and refilled his glass, knocking it back in one.
"You are getting smashed, aren't you?" He laughed.
Jack ignored him.
"You're no fun anymore, Jack, you know that. Whatever does Eye Candy see in you?"
"Ianto!"
John laughed. "I love the way you say his name, lover. Yarn-toe. Cute."
Jack huffed.
"How did you two meet, anyway?"
"Myfanwy." Jack said, his wording a little slurred.
"What is a Myfanwy?"
Jack chuckled, remembering. "A bird. Prehistoric."
"Really?"
"Mmm."
"So, where is it now?"
Jack frowned. "You didn't see it?"
"No, can't say I did."
"In the Hub," Jack threw his hands in the air for effect. "Flying free!"
"And you and Yarn-toe caught it?"
Jack rolled his eyes. "Yep."
"Do you love him?"
"Yep."
John thought about this for a few minutes, then said. "I'm never gonna win you back, am I?"
Jack looked serious. "No."
John looked hurt. "You didn't even have to think about it!"
Jack shook his head. "No. You knew…this would never…work." He yawned. "I'm really tired. I think I'll…turn in for…the night."
As he stood, John grabbed his hand, kissing it.
"I'd do anything to keep you here," he told Jack.
Jack pulled his hand away. "I wouldn't bother."
John could only watch him go to another room.
TWTWTW
As the drink wore off, Jack rolled over on the bed to find John sat in a chair nearby, watching him.
Jack sighed. "Can't you even leave me to sleep?"
"Go back to him, Jack."
Jack sat up and blinked. "What?"
"Use your vortex manipulator. It'll work. Just…go back to your Yarn-toe."
John got up and left the room.
Jack ran an unsteady hand over his face.
