The quarry went south down a minor sewer line. He has a little nick, just a flesh wound.

Birdie, I have a treat for you. It's 12ft long, 800lbs, and very fucking dead.

[Pet to his hair and a quick kiss.]

You don't have to thank me. He's...

[Willing himself to admit it!]

He's family right?

Several hours later; 4am

[playstheblues.livejournal.com]

Yeah. He is.

[Another pet pet, and a smile.]

So don't worry about it. Just keep looking.

[Quietly]

Did Jack misunderstand you?

Several hours later; 4am

[bitingnightmare.livejournal.com]

What?

[Double take. Er... and a cough too, no cigs because smoking in a sewer is very bad.]

About backing off?

Several hours later; 4am

[playstheblues.livejournal.com]

You didn't mean for him to stop being friends with me, right?

Several hours later; 4am

[bitingnightmare.livejournal.com]

No. I thought that was obvious.

Blue... I told him to back off if he was falling in love with you, because that wouldn't help anyone.

Several hours later; 4am

[playstheblues.livejournal.com]

I don't think he understands that...

I didn't think you would ever ask someone to stop talking to me.

[Trust, justified!]

Several hours later; 4am

[bitingnightmare.livejournal.com]

[He's heard that parallel before and denies any similarity!]

That's not my style, baby.

Several hours later; 4am

[playstheblues.livejournal.com]

I know, Cori.

[Squeezes his hand again]

I'm going to keep trying to make him understand. I don't want to lose anymore friends.

Several hours later; 4am

[bitingnightmare.livejournal.com]

He talked to me today. I think he's sweet on that Ianto guy.

[Returning the squeeze.]

Several hours later; 4am

[playstheblues.livejournal.com]

They were together in their world, Jack told me!

I think I'm going to talk to Ianto, maybe on Wednesday.

Several hours later; 4am

[bitingnightmare.livejournal.com]

There were? Convenient.

Several hours later; 4am

[playstheblues.livejournal.com]

I'm stubborn, you know.

I won't let him just give this up. Not because he's an idiot.

Several hours later; 4am

[bitingnightmare.livejournal.com]

I know you are.

[Hand to his waist.]

A little time will help, trust me.

Several hours later; 4am

[playstheblues.livejournal.com]

Just...

I want to be friends again. I trusted him.

Several hours later; 4am

[bitingnightmare.livejournal.com]

He's not that stupid, Blue. He cares about his friends, even if he doesn't show it all that well.

[He empathizes but won't say it.]

He'll come around. He's helping out with Ellington right?

Several hours later; 4am

[playstheblues.livejournal.com]

Because of Tosh. I don't think it's because of me.

[Not sadly, just matter-of-factly.]

Several hours later; 4am

[bitingnightmare.livejournal.com]

[Shaking his head.]

I disagree.

Several hours later; 4am

[playstheblues.livejournal.com]

Do you really?

Several hours later; 4am

[bitingnightmare.livejournal.com]

Yes.

[Gentle poke to Blue's cheek.]

Several hours later; 4am

[playstheblues.livejournal.com]

Oh.

[Hears something]

...Ellington?

Several hours later; 4am

[bitingnightmare.livejournal.com]

[Pauses, hears a scuttling? He has his knife out already, silent click of a balisong.]

Several hours later; 4am

[playstheblues.livejournal.com]

No. It's just a rat.

Several hours later; 4am

[bitingnightmare.livejournal.com]

[Silent, just to be sure, then he tucks the blade up and close to his wrist.]

Anyway. If he didn't have any good qualities I wouldn't acted a fool myself you know.
