Title: Lost in translation
Author: m_findlow
Characters: Jack, Gwen, Ianto
Rating: G
Challenge: 337 - Unloved prompts, 171 - Lost in translation
Notes: Part of the Brimful of Drabble collection at ff.net (yet unposted). Jack's true feelings are lost in amongst the grief.
Nothing had been the same since Tosh and Owen had died.
Jack became distant, his jokes hollow.
He prayed that Gwen and Ianto would leave.
Leave and live.
He loved them too much to watch them die.
He'd been especially cold towards Ianto. They barely even spoke except for work matters.
Ianto, ever the professional, accepted it without argument.
What they'd had was broken.
When Ianto thought he wasn't looking, Jack caught the look of wounded pain etched on his face.
He felt wretched knowing that he was the cause.
He wished Ianto could know how much he loved him.
