[Ianto is currently out cold, but slowly showing signs of coming round.  He's not exactly in his best state; his nose is shattered, and he has a stab wound in his chest.

For once?  This has absolutely nothing to do with the Master.]

[He glances back at Jack, slightly uncertain.] Would you have been angry if I had shot her?

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

[He seems to think about it for a moment, then shakes his head] It would've been self-defense; you got stabbed and your nose broken just as things stood. I care about Misaki, but...[he doesn't finish the sentence, just lets his words linger]

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

[He lets out a short laugh, pulling back the icepack to press his fingers to his nose experimentally.] She said you wouldn't like it. Said you wouldn't be happy if I hurt your favourite toy.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

[He looks a bit annoyed at this] I don't have 'toys'....

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

I never said I agreed with her.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

I know. I'm just not too fond of refering to someone as a 'toy'.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

I know. I don't think that's what we are, if you're worried about that.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

'm not worried about you; you're smart, you know better.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

You're saying she doesn't?

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

She hasn't known me long enough to trust me.

[Im mooching off someones Internet on my itouch >> shhh]

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

I suppose not.

((I don't care. ILU and your mooching- do it all you want.))

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

[Jack hesitates a moment, because there's something he's been meaning to ask Ianto for a while, but figures now is as good a time as any] Ianto...why do you trust me?

[<3 I shall mooch for as long as I can then]

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Lots of reasons... I've known you a while. Somewhere along the line I started to trust you.

((♥))

First time I took you out on the field I almost got you killed, I killed Suzie despite her having once been a part of the team, and then I disappeared only a few months later. That doesn't exacly scream 'trust-worthy' for your end.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Well, why do you trust me? I've betrayed you more than twice by my count, and you still seem to consider me trust-worthy.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

[Gives him an 'Its not the same' look] You place more trust in me than anyone has in a long time, more than you probably should. By my count, I haven't given you anywhere near enough reasons for you to.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Maybe I do trust you more than I should, but I can't really help who I trust, can I?

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

[sighs]You should only trust me so much, you know....

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

You don't think I should trust you?

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

I need you to trust me, trust my decisions when it comes to Torchwood 3. But you seem to trust me even beyond that.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

You've given me more than enough reason to trust you, whether you see that or not.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

I don't, actually

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

[Ianto just sighs, leaning back against him and returning the icepack to his nose.]

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

[Jack's body wraps around Ianto's, arms around his waist drawing him closer as he settles his head back on the younger man's shoulder. He's silent for a moment longer, and when he speaks up his voice is quiet, more of a murmur than anything] I'm still thankful for it, you know, the fact that you trust me that much.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

[Ianto leans back so he can rest his cheek against Jack's, free hand stroking his thigh gently.] I think your realities version of me trusts you more, you know. Maybe you should be talking to him about it?
