Characters: Ianto, Jack
Rating: G
Spoilers: Nada.
Summary: Ianto and Jack watch a storm.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters.
A/N: For the prompt ‘Forked Lightning’, one of the prompts I didn’t get around to using for tw100’s challenge 288 last year. I’ve dug them out again to supplement the prompts I got from my f-list, just because there are still loads I wanted to use.
From the shelter of the tourist office, Ianto stared out through pouring rain, watching a storm over the bay. Thunder boomed, forked lightning flashed and he relished the raw splendour of the scene playing out overhead. The howling wind drove waves before it and his heart beat faster at the sight. He’d always loved storms, even knowing the damage they could cause.
Strong arms wrapped around him from behind and a chin rested on his shoulder.
“Beautiful, isn’t it?”
“Storms always make me feel more alive,” murmured Ianto, leaning back against Jack’s chest.
“You make me feel alive,” Jack whispered.
The End

And Jack, just awww :-) *hugs*

Jack is romantic and sentimental when he wants to be, he's so sweet at times.

In winter when everything is cold and grey and damp they make me want to stay in bed all day, but in summer when it's all green and leafy outside they feel exciting, vibrant and full of the energy of life.

Thank you!
