A/N: A new year fic!! =D Happy New Year everyone. Beginning is pre CoE, ending is Post CoE. Romance/Angst. Jack/Ianto Review please x short I know, but I wanted to write a quick New Year angst fic. Do excuse me for the angst at the end of this, I only just wrote it through curtains of tears due to Doctor Who. I'm still sobbing. It's not good. David Tennant's gone…He's not the doctor anymore…… :S
Jack and Ianto stood on the Plass, one gloved hand intertwined with their partners and the other nestled in their pockets. Their faces were lit with a mixture of dazzling reds, electric blues and shining yellows from the array of fireworks in the sky above the two men.
"Happy New Year." Jack breathed, his breath causing a white haze in the night sky which was ablaze with colour.
"Happy New Year." Ianto echoed with less enthusiasm than the American stood beside him.
"Lighten up, Yan." Jack smiled softly. "New Year is a chance to start afresh!" Jack grinned and planted a gentle kiss on the Welshman's lips.
"Hmm." Ianto hummed, not quite agreeing with Jack's statement.
"it's a new chance for us, Yan. We're going to do this properly…We're going to be a couple." Jack gave Ianto's hand a squeeze.
"Yeah…" Ianto shrugged. "It's just, every year's the same. 'I'm gonna make it change' and I never do. It's just another year, Jack." Ianto sighed. Jack laughed softly.
"Trust me, this time next year… Everything will be different." Jack promised before kissing Ianto.
And Jack was right. Everything WAS different for here he was, exactly a year later; on a space cruiser downing hyper vodka like it was water. While humans and aliens on board the ship welcomed the year in with alcohol, kissing and sex. Jack had nothing against celebrating New Year in this way; in fact, it was how he'd celebrated last year. But this year, despite the many offers, he – Jack Harkness – was going to spend New Year alone. There was only one man for Jack and that man had died. 2009 wasn't a happy year for Jack, and 2010 wasn't looking great either.
"Happy New Year." The bartender smiled at him.
"It's not happy for me. It's just another year." Jack snapped. And with that he slipped off his stool and headed back to his room where he could spend New Year with the man he loved. And even if it was just the memory of Ianto Jones he had for company, it was better than a room full of people.
-------------
Dedicated to the one and only, brilliant Ianto Jones. We will never forget him.
Also dedicated to the brilliant acting of David Tennant and his portrayal of the Doctor. Which leads me to dedicate it to the 10th doctor as well.
Also dedicated to CaptainJack-95 although I warn him I'm going to cry when I see him because I KNOW he's going to say to me, What did you think of Doctor Who.
Also dedicated to Gwento-Addict for actually putting up with my blubbering: 'Bring David Back!!!' On msn.
Review? Please? xxx
