Challenge: 337 - Unloved prompts, 79 - Friday
Notes: none

Despite being Good Friday the small church was almost empty.  The only sound came from  the altar boys practising hymns.

He took a deep breath in and let it out slowly.

He hadn't been to church in very long time.  Not since before he'd moved to London.  Not since  his mother had dragged them all there every Sunday.

It felt odd being here now.  He half expected to be struck by lightning as he crossed the threshold. How could God forgive all that he had done? His sins.

A warm hand unexpectedly grasped his own.

'I forgive you,' whispered Jack.

Oh - lovely!

Perhaps Jack's forgiveness is all Ianto really needs at this point.

Nice.

My first thought when I read this was:
Aww well done Jack. It's good to see he understands Ianto so well and knows what he is thinking.

My next thought was:
You make it sound like Jack has a God complex!

Jack was just worried that Ianto was trying to seek redemption and might not get it, even though he deserves to hear that he does.

All in all, worshipping Jack as a god wouldn't be that bad, would it? *grins*
