Losing Ianto

Ianto and Jack rolled apart, panting heavily trying to get their breath back from their intense love making. Jack pulled Ianto into him so half of Ianto's back was on half of Jack's chest. "That was amazing." Jack said quietly after the moment of silence.

"Well maybe I should tie you to the bed with my tie more often." Ianto replied casually.

"Yeah," Jack said, wrapping his arms around Ianto waist and placing a kiss on the top of his head.

Ianto groaned when he heard his phone ringing which was on the bedside table. He rolled off Jack and reached over and picked it up and answered, "Yes Owen?"

"We need you and Jack to meet us on Elm Street there is a blow fish in one of the alleyways." Owen replied.

"Be there in ten." Ianto said and hung up the phone.

"Who was it? Jack asked, getting up and pulling on his boxers and then his trousers.

"Owen, we have to be at Elm Street in ten minutes." Ianto replied who was now getting dressed.

Ten minutes later Jack and Ianto arrived at Elm Street meeting with Gwen, Toshiko and Owen.

"Right, what do we have?" Jack asked slipping into Captain Mode.

"There is a blow fish down that alley way, they are slippery buggers so if three of us go in the front and two in back, we should be able to get him." Owen replied.

Jack nodded and said "Ianto and I will go round the back and you three go in at the front." They all nodded and began to move.

Jack spotted the alien who was leaning against the wall, opposite to a door which led into the side of a flat. "Put your hands up." Jack yelled pointing a gun at the blow fish.

The blow fish rolled his eyes at them and raised his hands, "walk towards the others." Ianto said gesturing to Gwen, Tosh and Owen. He did as he was told.

Then there was a loud and then two more, on bullet hit one blowfish and the other hitting the blowfish which had come out of the flat door.

"Jack." Ianto whispered. Jack spun around to look at Ianto who was holding his stomach; Jack could see blood seeping through his shirt and hands.

"No!" Jack cried as he watched Ianto crumple to the ground, he sprinted towards him and pulling him into his lap cradling him.

"It's okay." Ianto croaked.

"Owen, get your but over here, Ianto's been shot." Jack yelled over his shoulder and then turned back to Ianto. "You are going to be okay, Owen is going to fix you."

Ianto shook his head; he knew this was the end. "I am not afraid, please just let me go." Ianto whispered weakly.

Jack was about to say something but Owen appeared, "fuck," he swore realising how bad the damage was.

"Please do something." Jack begged, tears falling down his cheeks.

"I'm so sorry there is nothing I can do." Owen said helplessly.

"When I die, I don't want you to hold on I want you to let me go." Ianto said, also having tears down his cheeks.

"I won't forget you, I never could." Jack said, his thumb stroking Ianto's cheek.

Ianto just nodded, letting his eyes close and death taking him. Jack let out a sob and cradled him, gently rocking back and forth. Knowing that there was nothing he could do.

The end
