Bute Park, Cardiff

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?"

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."

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

"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."

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

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."

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

"It just didn't work," she finally says, sighing sadly, still not quite over that whole disappointment. "The looks were there but his touch, everything just... nothing. I'd get more of a rise from you than I did with him, it just didn't work."

"I'm sorry, love," he says and rubs her knee. "I know how that goes, though. It's like . . . a good lover has to connect with you somehow, even if it's purely on a physical level."

"Yeah, you have to have some spark, some... thing..."

[morethanteaboy.livejournal.com]

"Chemistry," Ianto says, nodding.

"Yeah, and if its not there, the sex is just terrible," Martha agrees before smiling brightly. "But, fuck, when its there, yeah."

[morethanteaboy.livejournal.com]

"Exactly," Ianto says, nodding. "When it's there there's nothing better."
