Bute Park, Cardiff

[likesthecoat]

It's chilly but clear out--though it will rain by nightfall, from the look of the clouds in the distance--and Ianto spreads a blanket on the grass near other picnickers and kneels down to unpack the basket. "Cheese and crackers for starter?"

"D'you want a lock of my hair for it?"

"Aren't you afraid I'd make a voodoo doll?" Martha grinned over at Ianto, "I learned how in 16th century London."

[morethanteaboy.livejournal.com]

"I told you my real name, didn't I? There's not much stronger magic than that. So I'm certainly safe if you have my hair." He smiles, his eyes closed.

He doesn't believe it, not really, all this about old magic.

Jasmin and the faerie notwithstanding.

Martha smiled, "Alright then, a lock of your hair, to hold close. If I can't have you, I'll have a piece of you and dream."

[morethanteaboy.livejournal.com]

"And if you clone me, maybe the clone will be straight." He plays with her fingers.

[hisdarklady.livejournal.com]

"Nah, don't need straight, just better odds. Actually, come to think of it, all my bad relationships have been with straight men. I think I need to start dating gay men."

[morethanteaboy.livejournal.com]

He cocks an eyebrow at her. "You realize if you date exclusively gay men that's saying goodbye to a sex life with a partner, yes?"

[hisdarklady.livejournal.com]

"How about, gay but want to experiment?" She says noticing Ianto's cocked eyebrow expression. "Well, at least we can go shopping. And you'll look good when we go out somewhere..."

She pauses and picks a dandelion, "Hmm, you're bisexual, Near and Matt are at least the same, Lorne... apparently is. Sam and Dean the jury is still out on and John, I may have to ask him, what with my newfound knowledge of the evils of straight men."

[morethanteaboy.livejournal.com]

"I think, personally," Ianto says, "that most people are bisexual to some degree.

"Near's mostly gay, I think. I'm fairly certain he's told me he's never been with a woman."

[hisdarklady.livejournal.com]

Martha nods, "I think I subscribe to that belief myself. Though, more seventy-thirty myself..."

[morethanteaboy.livejournal.com]

"There, you see? Just goes to show. The day may come when sexual orientation is just a quaint belief from olden times, weren't they funny back then?" He sighs.

If that day were here, Lorne wouldn't have to worry about losing his career over love.

Damn it all.

"It's not really the parts that matter, but the personality? I will agree to an extent. But sometimes you can't help but, you know, want certain things."

[morethanteaboy.livejournal.com]

"Cock," Ianto says directly. "Yes, I know."

[hisdarklady.livejournal.com]

"Not always," Martha nods to what Ianto says but continues. "Sometimes you just want to face plant into a pair of really nice breasts..."

[morethanteaboy.livejournal.com]

Ianto laughs. "Very true. Hard to pick which is better, really, breasts or a good strong chest."

[hisdarklady.livejournal.com]

Martha nods seriously, "Sometimes the pecs are really nice and feel incredibly hot and fucking amazing under your mouth, other times, soft flesh and a much more rounded curves... Though as you pointed out already, some are a bit more comfortable to lie on."

[morethanteaboy.livejournal.com]

"I think it depends mostly on to whom they belong, really," Ianto ponders. "The most perfect body in the world won't matter a whit if it belongs to someone you don't care for, or doesn't care for you."

[hisdarklady.livejournal.com]

Martha nods, "Though it might be ahh, aesthetically tempting. If you get my drift," she rambles on as she pulls the petals off of the dandelion. "Like, it may look nice from far away but not really worth it up close."

[morethanteaboy.livejournal.com]

"I get your drift quite well," says Ianto, amused. "And you've got a story, I suspect. Spill."

[hisdarklady.livejournal.com]

Martha laughs happily, "There was this guy in my Intro to Anatomy class. Oh. My. God. Gorgeous. Just, whatever you've said about your Jack? Oh yeah, him all over."

[morethanteaboy.livejournal.com]

Ianto laughs. "Oh, dear. I know how that goes. So beautiful you can't think straight . . ."

[hisdarklady.livejournal.com]

"Oh, exactly. Can't talk straight, can't move right, just your brain just shuts off around them." Martha sighs and shakes her head, remembering everything.

"He had a smile that was just, gorgeous, could light up a room with that."

[morethanteaboy.livejournal.com]

"Yeah," Ianto says softly, thinking of Jack's rare, truly happy smile. "Like when they smile nothing can go wrong."

[hisdarklady.livejournal.com]

Martha nods, "Yeah and his eyes, so pretty. Bright blue eyes with just these incredibly long lashes.... Basically, the boy had quite a few things going for him. His parents weren't short in the gene pool."

[morethanteaboy.livejournal.com]

Ianto chuckles. "So what was wrong with him?"
