"Jack? Jack! No, no, no! Jack, wake up!" Ianto shook the older man in his hands, not getting any response.

"Please wake up." Ianto's voice went quiet, "You know I don't like it when you leave me alone like this."

Ianto looked around the room, seeing the blood. It was everywhere and the Welshman was only lucky that he'd gotten used to it, the gagging had subsided. It was dark, damp and lonely now that Jack was dead.

Ianto pulled Jack into his arms. He breathed in heavily, using the captain's scent to cover the blood.

"Please Jack. Just…wake up." Ianto murmured into the crook of the older man's neck, "I can't get out of here by myself and I'm not leaving you behind."

Ianto pulled Jack against him as he sat against the wall. He pulled off his suit jacket and put it behind Jack's head.

"Wake up…for me?"

Ianto rested his head against Jack's, closing his eyes to pretend that the other man was simply sleeping. It was impossible to pretend though. There was no light breathing and worse still, there wasn't the rhythm of his heart beat.

The younger man jumped when he felt Jack's sharp intake of air. Ianto quickly wrapped his arms around Jack, shock playing on his features. Jack's arms came up to hold Ianto's in place.

"Ianto?"

"I'm right here."

Jack continued to breathe shallow breaths, "Are you okay?"

"Are you?" Ianto countered.

"You know me, I'm fine. Don't avoid the question. Are you okay?"

"A little bit shaken but otherwise fine." Ianto sighed.

Suddenly it dawned on Jack, "We're still here."

"Yep. I bet you we'll get out of this before Gwen even finds out."

"What do you bet?" Jack's voice was suddenly filled with interest.

"Uh…dinner tomorrow night?"

"Is that an invitation?"

"If you like."

Jack nodded, "Okay, deal. Kiss on it?" Jack asked innocently.

Ianto rolled his eyes but turned Jack to kiss him. In all honesty, he wanted to kiss Jack. He wanted to feel close to him just to reassure himself that Jack had come back, that it wasn't the last time he'd die but he wouldn't tell Jack. He sighed happily into the kiss, running a hand along his cheek.

Jack smirked when they finally parted for air, "Come on, I've had enough of this blood."

A/N: Started as something completely different but there's a reason it's short. Should I make a big fic out of this, explaining where they are, how they got there and how they'll get out? Let me know (:

Cheers,
