BANG! One shot to the head and the blowfish was dead. But Ianto didn't shoot, and the shot came from his direction. Who fired the gun? Ianto turned around and saw the face he had been longing to see.

Jack. Jack was back and looking as good as ever. Ianto knew he had been longing to see Jack again, but that didn't make him any less pissed off.

When Jack had asked Ianto out on a date, he should never have thought that things were alright between them, even if Ianto said yes. Because things were far from okay.

3 days, and Ianto still wasn't talking to Jack, unless it was work related, and Jack couldn't live with it. He knew deep down, that not talking or touching Ianto was breaking his heart.

Jack was in his office doing actual paperwork, when Ianto entered.

"Coffee sir?"

"Thanks Ianto."

Jack paused for a moment before speaking again.

"Can we talk?"

"Was there something work related you need to talk about?"

"No."

"Then no sir, we can't talk. Now if you'll excuse me, I have work to do."

Jack knew what he was about to do was gonna break his heart even more, but he had to make Ianto talk to him. Everyone else had a go at him so why not Ianto?

Jack quickly got out of his chair and stopped Ianto from leaving the office by grabbing his arm and not letting go.

"Ianto wait."

"Let go of me sir."

Ianto turned to face Jack. Jack might have thought that having Ianto not talking to him was breaking his heart, but it wasn't half as painful as looking into Ianto's eyes.

"I'm not letting go till you agree to talk to me."

"There is nothing to talk about. You left and then you came back."

"Well seeing the way you're behaving I'd say there is."

"The way I'm behaving? THE BLOODY WAY I'M BEHAVING JACK? YOU'VE BEEN BACK FOR 3 BLOODY DAYS AND YOU BLOODY THINK THINGS ARE THE WAY THEY WERE BEFORE YOU LEFT?"

Jack was a little stunned by the raised voice coming from his Ianto, but he finally found the words to speak.

"Look Ianto. I know things aren't the way they were before I left, and I don't know what else to say other then I'm sorry."

Ianto had calmed down a bit. And Jack had let go of his arm.

"Well if you know, then why do you pretend they are? And I don't need you to say you're sorry, I just need to know why. Why you left. Why you couldn't leave a note, so we knew you were okay. Is that so hard to do?"

"Yes it was, because I had no idea what to write, without hurting you."

"So you decided that it would hurt less, if you just disappeared without us knowing anything about where you were?"

Jack didn't have time to answer before Ianto was out of the office, and slammed the door so hard, that Tosh, Owen and Gwen looked at him in amazement. They had never seen this side of Ianto before, and to be honest it scared them a bit.

"Well I don't want to get on his bad side."

"Owen stop it. He's just hurt, and angry."

Ianto came down the stairs and walked over to them.

"Who wants coffee?"

"I could use a cup."

"Me too."

"Me three. Ianto are you okay?"

"I'm fine Gwen. As long as he stays away from me for the next 24 hours I'll be fine."

Ianto went into the kitchen and started making coffee, leaving Gwen, Tosh and Owen behind.

"Do you think he'll be able to do that?"

"Gwen, I don't think he'll ever be able to do that. Maybe I should go talk to him, so he at least knows not to go near Ianto until tomorrow."

Tosh got up from her desk, just as Ianto came with their coffee.

"Do you want me to give Jack a cup of coffee? I'm heading up there anyways."

"Thanks Tosh."
