Feels like belonging
Chapter One: It Feels like belonging
I knew it from the moment I saw him I would be powerless to stop him. I knew that he would turn my safe little world upside down, and I didn't mind one bit. I had a feeling that he would be different from all the other men I had known, different in an amazing way. I had no clue what he was into though, what I would soon be into. Captain Jack Harkness. My savior. My friend. My confidant. My lover.
Now I know what some of you may be thinking, 'what about Rhys? He loved her, how could she just abandon him?' But things with Rhys faded over my time in Torchwood, we tried to stay together and we still loved each other in a way. But it was never the same as before, and you can't stop the heart from wanting what the heart wants. And my heart wanted Jack, I realize now that it was inevitable. And Rhys and I are still in contact, although I do worry that he'll get drunk and spill the secret of Torchwood, it's kept me awake many a-nights.
But now that I've resigned myself to my fate, I find that I am much happier. Tosh and I go for drinks every Friday, Owen and I have even gotten into a pleasant banter routine. Owen got me through those first few weeks of Torchwood, those weeks when I thought I wasn't going to be able to make it through. Especially after the countryside. I was sure that it was all too much, getting shot, and gaining the knowledge of why they had done it; it was all too much. Owen offered me something that Rhys couldn't offer me. Owen understood me, he understood what I had went through, because he was there and experienced it also. Ianto, the ever sweet and loving Ianto. He's offered me more than I could ever expect, more than I ever thought I deserved. He's offered me a friend and more when I needed one. He's been a rock when Jack wouldn't understand, he's been my solace in the darkness. And without asking for anything in return, loving, gentle Ianto.
And even now as I am lying here beside this man, Jack, I know that it's the place where I belong. Because not only when we're joined as we were just a few hours previous, but when I'm just in Jack's presence. It just feels right, as if I'm suppose to be here by his side, as if it's my place. It feels like nothing in the world can go wrong and I'll always be safe from harm, he would never let harm befall me. It feels like belonging.
A/N: Okay so I may have a problem, too many Torchwood fics in progress. But the inspiration just came to me. It occurred to me to write in first person(which I never do) and that it might be nice to write something in the future when they're together. Rather than having to deal with the build up. Well review and let me know what you think. I'll probably have chapter two done this week also. And yes I am aware this is short, but I'm not going to draw things out just to get more pages than I want, I'm just going to give this to you guys straight, and I think it will be better for my writing that way as well. Well I think I've started to babble so I'll just stop writing and let you guys take it from here. Hoped you enjoyed my creative spark.
