A/N: I've been reading loads of Ianto/Jacks. And it kinda gave me the inspiration for this.

Title: A life time and then there's Ianto

Pairings: Jacks/Ianto (Technically)

Rated: K+

Gazing at the glass before me and Ianto I realised, we were all going to die and there was nothing we could do that would stop it. I wouldn't die, of course, but Ianto would, my Ianto would be lost I have to get him out!

"We've got to get you out of here, I can survive anything, but you can't." I turned on Ianto,

"Too late, I've breathed the air." His reply was simple, maybe as much as he could handle.

"There gotta be something; there's gotta be an antidote." I was panicking. My only true love couldn't slip through my fingers, couldn't die. Not after Toshiko, she died in my arms and now my love, the only one who really loved me back, was going to go.

"You said you would fight." a dull voice that had been forgotten through my panic crept back.

"Then I take it back, all right, I take it back. But not him!" I looked over at Ianto, he was shaking. I was running forward why? He was falling, the gas, it had got to him.

"NO, NO NO NO NO NO NO, NO! No no Ianto." "It's all my fault."

"No, it wasn't." He mumbled. Why was he taking all this on his self? None of this was his fault. It was all my fault.

"Don't speak stupid." I reached to crease his cheek and left it there. He tried to speak but no word came out.

"Don't." I said, he had begun shaking violently. "Don't, don't." His eyes were beginning to roll to the back of his head. "Ianto, stay with me. Ianto stay with me, please. Ianto, stay with me." My eyes were watering, I was sobbing, my eyes were clouded, I was losing sight if his handsome face.

"Hey" he looked up at me, "It was good, yeah?" he looked up at me.

"Yeah"

"You remember me, then?" He asked

"Yes, I will. I promise I will." Then his head fell back beginning to fall limp his eyes were now merely slits of white. As he took his last breath, I couldn't believe the life of someone so innocent could be over.

"Ianto? Ianto, don't go. Don't leave me please. Please don't."

The dull voice had returned, "You will die, and tomorrow your people will deliver the children."

I could feel the gas filling my lungs as I bent down to share the last kiss with the last warmth that was left in his lip. I kissed the man I would love forever. As the kiss used up the last of my breath, my lips glanced off the tip of his long nose and the forehead that was permanently creased my nose ran through his hair then all was silent and my head the cold floor.
