A/N: Double drabble.
“Can I ask you something?” Gwen said one night, when she and Ianto were staking out a warehouse where Jack believed synthetic alien drugs were being manufactured.
“You can ask, but that doesn’t guarantee I’ll answer,” Ianto said mildly. Gwen’s curiosity knew no bounds and often led to her overstepping the boundaries of their working relationship.
“You and Jack…” Gwen trailed off, then tried again. “I wouldn’t have thought he’d be your type. I mean, you had a girlfriend. And you loved her, right?”
“I still love Lisa; I didn’t stop just because she… died. She was an important part of my life, and perhaps if she was still alive, we’d still be together. Perhaps not.” Ianto turned to look at Gwen, his expression unreadable. “I had other girlfriends before Lisa. I had a couple of boyfriends too. If I have a ‘type’, then it’s outgoing, charismatic, passionate people, strong personalities with a zest for life, people who aren’t afraid to take chances, go after what they want. Lisa was like that, she radiated warmth, energy, enthusiasm for everything she did. Jack is the same, he’s adventurous, more open-minded than anyone I’ve ever met. So yes, he’s exactly my type.”
The End
