Summary: A Take On How Jack And Ianto Got Together. Yeah I Know, I Suck. So Basically, Jack And Ianto Are In The Hub Together.

Author Notes: This came from a song lyric 'Where did you come from?' and ended up COMPLETELY different to what I had lanned.

Disclaimer: I can't be bothered making a silly disclaimer, I don't own them!

Ianto sat staring at nothing in particular. He didn't notice Tosh or the dipping of the sofa next to him, or even the feel of her arm around his shoulders.

"You okay?"

he shook hi head and smiled at her, "But I will be."

"You want me to stay here for a bit?"

"No, no. You go home, I'll be fine. Jack's here to keep me company." He reassured.

"Yeah but Jack can be a little...eccentric."

Ianto chuckled, "I know but right now I could use that to keep my mind busy. Go home, you work too hard."

"So do you. Don't stay here too late." She smiled, hugging Ianto before standing up.

"Goodnight Tosh!" He called after her as she stepped through the cog door.

Ianto returned to his motionless state in the sofa, staring at the floor. He wanted to feel good about being in the hub, being part of Torchwood but he still couldn't help but feel like the others hated him and that they'd probably never trust him again. Tosh still spoke to him and it felt good to at least have that. The Welshman jumped when Jack appeared next to him.

"Is Tosh gone?"

"She just left. Did you want a coffee?"

"Don't you want to head home?"

"Not really. Was that a yes?"

"Sure, why not."

"...So we're running, we're running for our lives from this thing and I pull out this gun and the leader tries to stop me but it's too late. These creatures self destruct at a sign of danger." Jack laughed as Ianto handed him the coffee, "I swear, I was cleaning that thing off of me for weeks."

Ianto chuckled and leaned against the bench.

"So why didn't you want to go home?"

"I don't know," Ianto shrugged, "It's too quiet there."

"You're not getting upset over Lisa again, are you?"

"No, no. I just...they hate me, don't they?"

"What? Of course they don't."

"Tosh talks to me and you talk to me...I'm still not sure why, but Owen and Gwen won't even look at me. I didn't mean to betray anyone."

"I know you didn't, I know you thought you were doing the right thing. They don't understand it. Tosh and I do. I'm not about to stop talking to you, you're part of my team and more importantly, you're my friend."

"Friend? Really?"

Jack laughed, "Of course, you idiot. Do you honestly think I'd be here, telling you stories if I didn't think of you as a friend?"

"I don't know. You tell everybody stories."

"But it's more fun with a cute Welshman."

"Careful. That's still harrassment."

"We aren't in work hours." Jack pointed out.

"Doesn't mean it isn't harrassment."

"Seriously? It's not harrassment if you enjoy it Ianto." Jack grinned.

"Who said I enjoy it?"

"The ssmirk on your face, that's who."

Ianto laughed and looked down at the coffee in front of him, "I should feed Janet."

"Already taken care of."

"Myfanwy?"

"Yep."

"Did you give her chocolate?"

"Uh..." Jack smiled sheepishly, "I may have forgotten the chocolate."

"Okay, I better give her that."

"I'll come, nothing better to do."

Ianto smiled as Myfanwy landed in front of them. He pulled out a block of chocolate from his suit pocket.

Jack chuckled and murmured, "Always prepared."

"Hey girl." Ianto said soothingly, "Did Jack forget to give you your chocolate?"

"You never cease to amaze me with that."

"What?" Ianto asked curiously as he lightly rubbed the dinosaur's neck.

"How did you get her to let you so close?"

"I feed her, it was only a matter of time. She's the closest thing to family I have really."

"That's kind of sweet."

"More like depressing." Ianto sighed, "You only love me for the chocolate though, don't you?"

Ianto was given a light purring sound as a reply.

"She'd be lost without you."

"She'd never get any chocolate without me."

Jack laughed, "Come on, I need to grab some files for the archives and I feel safer knowing that you know what I've done in there."

"So why didn't you tell me you had files for the archives?"

"Because I didn't want you doing all the work and don't say you wouldn't because I know you."

"...Yeah okay, you're right, I probably would've. Thank you sir."

"Firstly, drop the sir. Secondly, what for?"

"Helping me forget everything for a while."

"Anytime." Jack grinned, "Admit it. You love spending time with me really."

"Well there's never a dull moment."

"More fun that way."

Ianto watched Jack's every move to make sure he didn't mess up any of his filing, "Jack?"

"Ianto?"

"Don't you ever get lonely here? I mean, it must get pretty quiet."

"How could I get lonely, you're always here." Jack smiled, "I guess it does get a little quiet sometimes."

"That's why I stay so late. It can get lonely at home." Ianto explained.

"You know you can come here anytime. I'll be here to keep you company."

Ianto smiled faintly, "I might just take you up on that."

"Good. So, I'll give you some more stories?"

"Sure, come out to the main hub though. I've got to wash those cups."

Jack groaned, "Fine, but you should've stopped working a long time ago."

Ianto dried the cups and stared at Jack in bemusement. The older man was so happy, so animated. How did he have so many stories to tell?

"Why are you staring at me?" Jack asked curiously.

"Where did you come from?"

"What do you mean?"

"You have all these stories, you're so different. Where did you come from?"

"Somewhere far away. I can't really get back there so I just enjoy the memories."

"You're incredible, you know? Just when I think I understand you, you hit me with something new that doesn't make the slightest ammount of sense."

"You're not too bad yourself." Jack grinned his patented 'Harkness' grin.

"I just wish I could understand you." Ianto sighed.

Jack chuckled and put an arm around the Welshman's shoulders, "Me too. Maybe I could get some answers."

"Tell me when you get some?"

"Sure, you do the same."

Ianto walked into the hub and over to Gwen's desk, picking up stray scraps.

"Stop! Don't make me send you home." Jack said sternly, rushing after him.

He tripped and knocked a mug off the bench. It shattered and Myfanwy screeched noisily. Ianto watched the pterasaur and his eyes widened as he saw her flying towards him. He didn't see what happened after that, all he knew was that one minute he was watching her coming and the next he was being held against the wall by Jack. Jack chuckled, the vibrations going through the younger man.

"I uh, I think you spooked her."

Jack smiled faintly, looking into Ianto's eyes.

The Welshman looked down for a moment, "It's late, I should go home." Ianto's voice was a whisper.

Jack slowly moved closer towards Ianto until their lips met in the softest of touches. The younger man had never seen jack so unsure of himself in as long as he's known him.

"Sorry, sorry. That was out of line." Jack stammered as they parted.

Ianto stared at him for a moment, trying to comprehend what had just happened. Jack had kissed him...Jack. He didn't know how to feel but he couldn't hold himself back anymore.

"If you're going to do that, at least do it properly." Ianto cupped Jack's face in his hands and pulled hiim back for a stronger kiss.

He smiled as Jack kissed him more forcefully than before.

"And there's another thing to add to the list of things I don't understand about you." Ianto murmured when they pulled back.

"Hey, you just kissed me." Jack pointed out.

"You started it. What does this mean?"

"It means that this proves you enjoy the flirting."

"Shut up. Do you want me to leave?"

"No, no, no. Don't leave."

"Okay but I'm going to need to kiss you again."

Jack grinned and put a hand on Ianto's waist, "Where did you come from?"

I Don't Know!! This Came Out Completely Different To The Idea In My Head. Some Of My Stuff Is On Hold For Now As I Have Other, Bigger Ideas And I Need To Catch Up On School Stuff.
