Pairing: Jack/Ianto friendship.
Rating: K+
Spoilers: Mild for cyberwoman
Ianto's unresponsive in his arms. Crumpled, sobbing helplessly, apparently unaware that he's being held. For a while Jack just kneels there rocking him, he doesn't say anything or attempt to calm the young man. He just keeps up the constant motion, back and forth, over and over, holding Ianto in his arms and waiting. Finally Ianto responds, a hand latches onto Jack's shirt hanging on. If there had been any reason but love behind the betrayal, Ianto would already be retconned and gone. But love Jack can understand. So he holds Ianto, offering comfort the only way he knows how.
