Prompt: In less than 1000 words, write about this: 'Date someone who will let you fall asleep in your car, drive the whole time, be okay with it, and avoid the pot holes so you sleep fine.

I just to add a little drama to it. I'm sorry Ianto.

Ianto Jones sat in the back of the parked ambulance, wrapped in a blanket, staring into space. Unnoticed by him, two paramedics stood a little away from him.

"Shock." One of them muttered, stealing glances at the man sitting alone by the ambulance. "The poor man, have we contacted anyone for him?"

"Yeah, he had 14 missed calls from someone called 'Jack.' I just called him back, explained what had happened and he said he'd be here as fast as he could." The first paramedic nodded, looking over at the man who had yet to break his gaze from his small puddle of shock-induced vomit a few yards from his feet.

Has he said anything yet?" The first paramedic asked. "Not a word." Replied the second. "But after what he's been through I'm just surprised he's sitting upright."

The paramedics were interrupted as tyres screeched, an SUV turned the corner and pulled up on the opposite side of the paramedics. A tall man jumped out wrapped in a navy longcoat.

"Captain Jack Harkness." He barked. "I'm here for Ianto Jones."

The paramedics gestured towards the lit ambulance, and Jack began to run towards him. "I wouldn't do that if I were you," the paramedic called, "he's in shock. No telling what he'd do."

Jack stopped and looked at Ianto who had yet to notice Jack's arrival. Jack's face softened, as he pulled off his longcoat, shivering a little in the autumn air.

He cautiously crept towards his friend. "Yan? Yan, it's me, it's Jack," he called softly. Ianto's gaze broke from the small pool of vomit on the ground. He looked up at Jack with tears in his eyes, his right eye swollen shut.

"'ack?" he choked out, as tears started to fall. Jack wrapped his coat around Ianto's shuddering shoulders and placed his arms around him as Ianto pressed his face to his chest. Jack stared at the chaos behind the parked ambulance, "It's okay, Yan, it's me, you're okay now, I promise. They can't hurt you anymore." He said softly, resting his chin on Ianto's head as he sobbed.

"C'mon, let's go home, let's get you to bed." Jack said, slowly peeling Ianto from his chest, placing his hands on his shoulders and steering him towards the SUV.

Jack nodded towards the paramedics who nodded back solemnly as Ianto stumbled towards the car.

Jack pulled open the door of the SUV and helped Ianto crawl inside, noticing him flinch as he leaned back into the seat. Jack pulled the seatbelt around him gently and closed the door as quietly as he could, quickly running around and climbing in himself.

As Jack pulled out onto the road. Ianto spoke quietly. "I-I don't want to... to go home... j-just yet, can... can we just drive around a bit first."

"Yan... I really think we should get you home..." Jack said, pityingly.

"Please." Ianto's voice was tired, pleading.

"Sure," Jack said quietly, "Anything you want."

After a half hour of driving around Cardiff, Jack chanced a look at the ever-silent Welshman. His face melted as he saw Ianto's head tilted to one side, asleep, his black eye really starting to show. Jack realised that he had just wanted some peace before going back to his flat full of deafening silences.

Jack slowed down considerably as he drove through the back streets of Cardiff, making sure to miss each pot hole he came across so he wouldn't disturb his sleeping friend.

Jack decided to take Ianto back to the Hub, let him stay with him for a while, until he was sure he can cope on his own. As he pulled into the car park, he made sure to park close to the elevator. Jack climbed out as quietly as he could, and gently lifted Ianto from the SUV. Ianto whimpered slightly at being moved, before curling into Jack's chest.

Jack stood in the lift, holding Ianto close to him as they quickly went downwards. Jack cursed the loud 'ping' it made and thanked anyone who was listening that Ianto didn't wake up.

Jack slowly made his way towards his bunker and gently lay Ianto down on the bed. Ianto whimpered at the loss of contact before latching himself onto Jack's leg. Jack made a quick decision and quickly removed his shirt, belt, suspenders and shoes and lay down beside Ianto. He smiled softly as Ianto rested his head on his chest.

Jack quickly grabbed his phone and sent a text to Gwen, Owen and Tosh:

dont come in til monday

As Jack turned off his phone he wrapped his arms around Ianto once more. "They can't hurt you anymore, Yan. You're okay."
