Chapter 1: Everything Changes
Since the beginning Ianto Jones; its been the small things about you, the short and fleeting moments we had between us. I've met so many others; people, aliens, even the Doctor a few times more, but you I still remember you to this day, five billion years later. You were never just a blip in time for me Ianto Jones and thats the story I have told everyone I've ever met. I told our story to the ones who didn't know, to the ones who asked. I told them of the man who captured the heart of the Face of Boe.
I remember the day we met Gwen, the night Suzie took her life. You were right when you told me that, Everything Changes.
" I thought I told everyone to go home, Ianto."
The dark-haired man turned away from the Rift calculations shown on the computer screen to look at his boss. " You did sir, but even I can admit that everything will change now."
Jack raised an eyebrow. " And your meaning, Mr. Jones?"
Ianto moved closer to Jack, shocking him slightly as he placed a warm hand against the older man's cheek. " She, Gwen, remembers. You've hired her. Everything will be strained for a bit and the others will believe it was a statement rather than an impulsive decision."
Ianto could see the confusion twist Jack's expression. " Statement?"
Ianto sighed, before pulling his hand away from Jack's face. " That we are all insignificant and easily replaceable." Jack opened his mouth to deny, but was made to pause his words as Ianto continued to speak. " This is Torchwood, sir. We don't live long in service, but everything changes when it has to whether it be for the better or the worse."
" You make Torchwood sound like marriage, Ianto." Jack joked, smirking at the Welshman before him. Only when it was wiped away moments later by Ianto's sad, but true reply.
" Till death do us part, sir, it's in our contracts."
After that conversation Ianto, I don't remember if any of you even read the papers I gave you to sign the next morning, they were Torchwood Three's new contracts. I corrected them that night after you left me in the Hub. I made sure you all had a way out if you wanted and you all still chose to stay until the end of your lives. It was almost hard to believe the trust all of you had in me.
But as you said, " Everything Changes."
