[Private to Ianto]

He didn't, but Martha suggested it might be because he was thinking that he'd have to explain to her why you could come out here to be with me, but she couldn't come out here to be with him.

Not an issue anymore, I suppose, but I think she might have been right.

[Private to Lorne]

*sighs* We're not in competition. I hate that, when she gets to comparing the four of us. No two relationships are the same, even if they appear so on the surface.

[Private to Ianto]

No, we're not. And I wish he wouldn't think that way either. It would really be nice to know he's got my back on this.

[Private to Lorne]

He's not going to give us a hard time if I actually come there, is he?

I hate thinking like this.

[Private to Ianto]

I don't think so. I mean, he didn't seem like he was actively opposed to it. He just didn't offer to help at all. He pretty much just foisted me off on Weir.

I don't know really. I've always been able to count on him. I don't know how to read his indifference.

[Private to Lorne]

I'm sorry, sweetheart.

Maybe it is upsetting, the notion of me being able to come and Martha not.

[Private to Ianto]

I think it's more likely he's upset with himself for not wanting her out here. Because if he wanted her here, he'd be able to swing it pretty easily. Hell, we've got enough doctors with enough specialties here, she could probably pretty much finish med school out here.

*sighs* It's kind of silly, but I really wanted him to offer to come with me when I talk to Weir. Just to show support.

[Private to Lorne]

It's not silly. He's your friend and you're doing something difficult. Of course you want support.

Their relationship has never been a truly smooth one.

[Private to Ianto]

I'm sure it will go just fine though. Weir's never been a big fan of the military anyway.

Yeah. Kinda makes ours look simple sometimes.

[Private to Lorne]

Oh, lord, poor John and Martha.

[Private to Ianto]

No kidding.

Did she tell you she'd broken up with him?

[Private to Lorne]

Yes. Considering how unhappy they both have been it's probably the best thing to do--but that doesn't make it any easier.

[Private to Ianto]

It's never easy to break things off with someone you still care about.

[Private to Lorne]

Yeah.

*drapes myself over you* I love you, by the way.

[Private to Ianto]

*leans into you* I love you too.

[Private to Lorne]

I love everything about you.

[Private to Ianto]

I love you completely and with all of me.

[Private to Lorne]

I just want to make you happy. I want to give you peace, make you feel safe and loved and wanted.

[Private to Ianto]

You do, darling. You make me so happy.

[Private to Lorne]

I'm so glad, baby. I'm so glad.

[Private to Ianto]

And I just want to make you happy, babe. I want you to know that I love you and I want you always.

[Private to Lorne]

I do know, my love. I know.

[Private to Ianto]

I'm so glad, babe.

[Private to Lorne]

Is it wrong to feel relieved that our relationship is how it is and not . . . worse?

[Private to Ianto]

No, it's not wrong. That's like saying it's wrong to be happy that we love each other.
