Trust me

The streets of Cardiff were quiet; they always were on a Tuesday, especially at four in the morning. The only sound that could be heard was the heavy breathing of two men in the alley way. No they were not kissing ferociously against the wall or stripping like this couple would usually be doing down an alley.

"Sir I cannot do this" Ianto whispered to his injured captain "you cannot make me Sir"

"Ianto listen to me" he looked into Ianto's eyes "please it is one bullet to the head then it will all be over-" Jack winced and applied more pressure to his wound. "It is a stomach wound I will slowly bleed to death in pain... Please Yan"

Ianto seemed to crumble when he saw the pain in his captain's eyes.

Jack grinned when he saw the fight had left Ianto "I will be fine trust me I will be back in a minute"

The fire began to burn in Ianto's eyes "how can you know that sir? How can you know you will come back?-"

"I always come back" jack tried to shrug.

"WHAT IF YOU DONT?" Ianto shouted. "what if you leave me alone Jack, leave me to deal with everything don't you think your luck will never run out... what if I am the one to pull that trigger and you don't come back h-have you e-ever thought of that Jack.. Bloody H-Harkness" his sobs broke his speech so instead he pulled Jack closer and breathed in his scent. Arms wound around his waist and he felt a kiss at his shoulder then on his neck and finally on his lips.

When Jack pulled his forehead to Ianto's he whispered against his lips "Trust me Yan I will never leave you. I will always come back, every time, for you my love and for you only" he wiped away Ianto fallen tears with his thumb. He kissed him a final time breaking away with a wince. "Please Yan it hurts... it really hurts" Jack didn't want to show it but the pain was increasing "it is now or never love and I promise I will come back for you... every time. Trust me"

Ianto knew what he had to do. He pulled the discarded gun into a tight grip and clutched Jack's shoulder with one arm. He felt Jack breath a deep breath in. Ianto lifted the gun to Jack's temple kissed his forehead and squeezed the trigger. Jack grew slack in his arms and he could do no more than sob into Jack's hair whispering "come back to me"

"I always keep my promise to you... Ianto always" jack whispered to Ianto no more than a minute later. All Ianto could do was sob harder but this time Jack hugged back.

"Don't you ever do that to me again do you hear me?" he began slapping Jack.

"Ow Ianto... ow Yan stop... hitting me" Jack crushed his lips to Ianto's. It was the only way he could reassure Ianto, his Yan that he was ok to prove he was still here. It was exactly what Ianto needed; he kissed back whimpering into Jack's mouth.

He pulled back "Are you ok though?"

Jack just smiled in reply. He was sore and all he wanted was his bed. He wouldn't tell Ianto this right now because Ianto needed him more.

"Lets go home" Ianto could see it in Jack's eyes the pain. He could never hide anything from his Ianto.

"No this is not the way it should be... it should be me" Jack was cradled Ianto's face. "You god damn idiot why did you stay" the tears burnt his eyes but that didn't matter this was his Yan.

Ianto coughed and tried to smile "Jack... I am sorry-"

"Why are you sorry?" he tried to stop the tears falling but it was no use. They fell freely and flowed down his cheeks. "This is my fault I shouldn't have let you-" he was cut of by the finger to his lips.

"I am sorry because you will wake alone I won't be here when you wake up... I am sorry I know you hate waking alone" Ianto tried to keep fighting the poison but it was taking hold quicker. "Jack I don't have much time we both know it"

"Don't say that I will fix it... I will save you Yan you will not be the only person I can't save... I have to I can't let you leave me" he cried out angrily.

"Jack shut up, I need to tell you something I know you already know it but" he took in a deep breath "I love you Jack Harkness I... l-love you so much it hurts and I don't know what I am going to d-do because I know you will c-carry on and forget about y-your Yan... the tea boy and go on f-forever but you wont take our love w-with y-you" he broke when speaking became too painful.

"Ianto Jones I will never forget you because you are going to live. You cannot leave me... I will fix this trust me Yan" Ianto's eyes closed. Jack began to shake him "Ianto Jones I love you... did you hear that I love you too." Ianto didn't hear him because he had already gone. He was too late Ianto didn't know he loved him. He thought he was the tea boy not anything more. Ianto didn't know how wrong he was. "Please Yan don't leave me, don't go..." he pulled Ianto closer "I will fix this I will make it right. I will never stop trying not until I have you back. I promise this Yan... my love" and with all the strength he could muster he kissed Ianto's lips sealing that promise.

Tell me what you think :)
