Jacks Back
I've been lurking for a while but have not had the guts to post till now. The new season has spurred me onto post. I'm planning on this being a series of each persons point of view. I'm very much a Jack/Ianto shipper, or lets face it Ianto/Anyone. Apart from Gwen that is. I don't really like her character, plus I get annoyed because we all know she does'nt belong with Jack. Sorry if this is really bad, it is my first post and any feedback is more than welcome. Con Crit creates a better writer!
Iantos POV
He was back again. Jack was back.
All the pain and caraziness of the last few months would finally improve.
Owens increased drinking and turning up to work in the previous nights clothes, Gwen trying desperately to take charge and be a good enough replacement for Jack. Thinking she was succeeding when in reality all she was doing was making things worse, holding them together by a shoestring. Toshiko, throwing herself into as many complicated and all consuming tech projects she could find and himeself, going calmly and detachedly through his days. Wearing his ever present mask of calm and wandering when he would finally break and retconn himself into oblivion.
But now Jack was back and he could breathe again. Everything was that much brighter and the future looked better again.
Despite this, he knew he would not become Jacks part time shag again. He'd had a lot of time to think while Jack was gone and he knew now how much he loved him and knowing this he knew he could not accept the backward crawl to the way things were. He wanted Jack but he wanted more of him. He was'nt stupid, he knew that no one ever got all of Jack, except maybe the doctor he chased across the Plas but he knew he needed more than he had before or the pain would destroy him.
So when Jack asked him on a proprer date in the middle of the office they were searching, he was absolutely estatic. He knew he had to play it cool when all he really wanted to do was jump him their and then.
Time would tell where they were going, if anywhere. He refused to think beyond the moment, of what Jacks immortality would eventually mean for them both. For now he would take it as as it came and hope that somehow things worked out for the best.
