Summary: Ianto's big moment is being ruined by his good and bad consciences. A double drabble.


Ianto should have been wrapped up in the moment, kissing Jack properly for the very first time. Instead he had the competing voices of his conscience arguing with him about whether it was wrong or right.

"You know what Jack's like. He's probably been waiting months for an opening. Amazed he's been as restrained as he has. Not that it was likely to last much longer anyway. All that flirting and dirty talk. I'll bet it's a world record for him to keep it in his pants that long."

"No, instead he's doing it out of guilt. After the night you've had and everything else you've been through, he's just giving you whatever you need. He can see how much you're hurting and he doesn't know how else to fix it."

"Hardly looks put out by it though, does he?"

"You're vulnerable right now. He won't take advantage of that."

"Maybe we want him to."

"Maybe you just assume he's a shallow sex feind."

"And you'd have a problem with that, why?"

He wished both of them would shut up. Jack wasn't stopping so neither was he. One thing he knew was Jack never did anything he didn't want to.

Poor Ianto, arguing with himself when he should just be enjoying the kiss.
