~*~*~*~*~
EXCERPT:
"You know, we really dodged a bullet today," mumbled Ianto... He was lying... down, head pillowed on Jack's chest... He felt the sharp intake of breath even as Jack's arms tightened around him, almost painful in their grip.
"Don't say things like that."
"... It's true. I could have died... today... And it made me realize that there are some things I need to say..."
"No," said Jack, "We are not having this conversation, not now." A finger on his lips silenced him.
"It's been empirically proven that ignoring an issue is not a successful method of ensuring its failure to occur. Conversely, discussing the matter is not going to make it happen any sooner... Jack, one day I'm going to die, and for a few minutes back there, I thought it was going to be this day. And… All I could think about was how I was going to be leaving you behind with so much unsaid."
