Summer 7 - action; closed to Jack and Ianto

[sparkandburn]

[ It hasn't quite started raining yet by the time Spike makes his way over to Perch Cabin. Spending this first night apart has been... an experience, and not necessarily one he enjoyed. It's been years since he slept alone and while a part of him can appreciate the more relaxed, independent way things were back in Marina it's a hard change to make. He has a feeling they'll need to come up with a better solution before long.

Cigarette nearly smoked to the filter, Spike approaches the cluster of fish themed cabins, still mostly lost in his own thoughts as he lifts his head to locate the right one. ]

[It’s tempting to push, to try to get Jack to open up but he doesn’t. Jack made the decision to distance himself when he started traveling. He’s the one who will need to decide when it’s time to change that and come back to them. So he returns the smile, both of them pretending everything is fine.]

That sounds lovely. I’ll look forward to it.

[Yeah, it's probably not quite time yet. Jack's surprised himself by how glad he is that Spike and Ianto are here, considering how long he's put off going back to them, but he's still going to need just a little longer to come to terms with that and just, well, feeling ready to deal with things.

He gives Ianto a grateful smile, thanking him for being understanding and not making a big thing about it. He hadn't realised how much he values that.]

Good. Well, I should get out of your hair, let the two of you settle in. We can pick up again in a day or two.

[Before he does though, he steps in to press a soft, tender kiss to Ianto's mouth. Not too long, because he doesn't want to unleash unwanted emotions, but long enough to convey just how much he values Ianto's understanding and lack of pressure.

Then he steps back with a quick smile.]

I'll catch you later. Thanks for the coffee!
