Author:
audrarose
Genre: Romance, Hurt/Comfort
Rating: PG13
Summary: Gwen walks in on them again. Coda to Fragments.
Status: Complete
Length: Oneshot
Warnings: None
Comment or Excerpt from fic: Post-Fragments fic where Gwen walks in on them, AGAIN, and gets a surprise when she sees just how much Jack cares about Ianto. I'm surprised this one hasn't been recced before since it's such a lovely fic.
___________________________________________________
Stops dead with her body frozen and her face burning, afraid to move because this time she can't just laugh and announce her presence; she knows she isn't supposed to see this. No one is supposed to see this... stillness, in the sprawl of pale skin over gold, with Ianto's dark hair tucked under Jack's chin, his eyes closed as Jack stares at the ceiling. Long seconds pass while she holds her breath, finally taking a slow inhalation when she realizes that they have no idea she's there.
Unbelievable that they're so unaware. Idiotic, really -- they should know better and she should just stand up and back away but... she can't. She can't take her eyes off the light touch of Jack's fingers over Ianto's skin, a hypnotic caress that carefully avoids the bulky white bandages, and for a moment it's like she can feel that touch herself.
