Focusing on breathing.

Pacing myself.

Heat all around me.

Hands clenching and unclenching the sheets on the bed beneath us.

Panting and moaning and grunted half-noises filling the room to the brim.

Biting down onto skin roughly to stifle a groan.

That last push.

"Lisa!" I shouted in ecstasy.

Opening my eyes to see bright blue looking back.

I slipped out of him and backed away.

"I…  I'm - "

He sat up and smiled weakly.  "It's fine.  I know this is different for you, and I can accept that.  It'll take time.  If you want, I can go - "

"No.  Stay with me."

Curling up next to him.

Dreaming of them both.

I crashed over the edge with a shout of "Ianto!"

Almost a second later, I was pushed away and promptly slapped.

"Ianto!?  My name is not Ianto!  You don't even know my fucking name!?"

"I'm sorry, Alonso - "

Another slap.

"Don't!"

He got up and started to dress, fuming with rage.

"Just let me explain - "

"What is there to explain - !?"

"He died, okay!?  Ianto's dead…"

Alonso was suddenly quiet.

"He died in my arms telling me he loved me…and…I couldn't say it back.  I…love him."

"Oh Jack…"

I turned away.  "Just go.  I'm sorry."

He left.

I cried.
