Owen blinked, Ianto didn't remember him, they had never had anything in common, but they were always there for each other, Ianto was there for everyone. Owen may have acted like he didn't care about all those random people that died, but when it came to his friends, it killed him inside. "Its Owen? I work- worked with you, Remember" Ianto shook his head. "Jack" he murmerd reaching for jack and curling into his chest. Jack huddled near him holding him closer "Shhh, its ok baby. Let him take a look at you, yeah?" Jack asked stroking his hair. Owen tapped his com "Gwen, Tosh, Get here now." He placed a hand on jacks shoulder, Owen could sense the fear in his Eyes, and it made him scared.

Ianto eventually let go of Jack and sat back on the bed, letting Owen examine him. After 10 minutes there was two light knocks on the door "Come in" Jack said just loud enough for Gwen to hear, the door creaked open and Tosh and Gwen stood staring at Ianto, who was still shaking. Tosh's mouth dropped open and she ran over to ianto. They had been best friends, and now he was back. She dropped to her knees carefully taking hold of his hands, Ianto looked over at jack. "I don't now any of you." Ianto said taking his hands away from Toshs, She looked hurt. Ianto scrambled to his feet. "I DON'T KNOW ANY OF YOU!" He shouted grabbing jack and burying his face in his shoulder.
Owen shook his head "I don't understand, he remembers you and none of us" Owen looked over at Gwen and Tosh both nearly bursting into tears. Jack was shielding Ianto protectively, "I'll speak to him, you guys head home, and have the rest of the day off, ring me if anything happens, I'll bring him in tomorrow." Jack suddenly realised the three sets of worried eyes looking at him "I'll take care of him" He sat on the bed not letting go of ianto. They nodded and left, Owen trying desperately to help the girls calm down. Ianto began letting out huge sobs. "Ianto… What DO you remember?" Jack tried not to make ianto worse, He rubbed his hands on iantos arms as he leant back onto the bed holding ianto closer. "You." He almost breathed, sitting up and looking into those crystal blue eyes that he missed so much. Jack looked down at ianto, he felt a tear seep from his eye. He leant down and kissed him, the need for him was un-bearable, Three years. Three years with out... this. Jack pulled ianto on top of him tracing his bottom lip with his tongue
Ianto opened his mouth allowing jack to explore, Ianto smiled then placed his tongue on jacks lips, He felt like he hadn't done this in so long. They rolled on the bed pulling off each others cloths and desperately trying to be close.

It wasn't what jack and ianto used to have, it wasn't just a stupid shag, it was meant for Comfort Jack was trying to comfort ianto, and it was working.

Ianto lay huffing on jack chest, both of them out of breath. "I missed this" Jack said stroking Iantos hair. Ianto looked up at him eyes brows creased "How long have I been gone" Ianto asked snuggling closer to jacks chest Jack didn't want to say, " I don't think you want to know" His grip on Iantos waist tightened. "Tell me" Ianto said trying to sound firm but sounding more innocent and desperate. "three-" Jack began to say but choked on is words and looked down "three months?" Ianto said surprised, Jack shook his head.

"Years, Ianto, you've been gone three years 12 days and 14 hours." Jack whispered. "You counted" Ianto said looking up and cupping Jacks face, he nodded. "And I don't regret it." Jack mumbled into the edge of is hand. Ianto pecked his lips then slipped back down feeling jacks heart beat on his ear he looked over to the night stand to see a picture, He was there, so was jack, and the three strangers from earlier, Ianto leaned and picked the picture up.

Jack had his arm around ianto and the one with brown hair was sticking her tongue out the man was Kissing the Chinese girl, she looked embarrassed. Ianto and jack were laughing, Ianto was… happy, Happy with these people he didn't know. "Jack" Ianto whispered, Jack realised what ianto was looking at, "that's the team, you don't remember? Torchwood?" Jack asked sliding down the bed a bit so the were cheek to cheek Ianto just shook his head, he felt anger bubbling inside him "how?" Ianto asked balling up his fist trying to keep himself from screaming, "how what?" Jack asked, even though he knew what he meant, "Don't give me that shit, You know what I mean" Ianto said harshly flipping in the bed so they were nose to nose. "Alien. Broke your neck." Ianto closed his eyes and it all came flooding back...

"JACK!" Screamed ianto as the beast leapt towards him, Jack ran over Then stopped dead in his tracks, "Don't." The anger bubbling in is voice as he saw the alien grab Ianto And began to play around with him. It laughed, a sick laugh that echoed around the building. Iantos eyes welded up, And he screamed out as the Alien snapped is legs like twigs, Jack raised his gun and pulled the trigger, the bullet hit straight between his eyes, he laughed again then grabbed ianto around the neck, 'I love you' mouthed ianto as a sickening crunch echoed around the hall. The alien vanished leaving a broken ianto Lying in a pool of deep red blood.

"Oh god" Ianto muttered burying his face in jacks chest. Jack ran his hands up and down Iantos back, "Its ok. I'm here now, and I'm never letting you go. Ever. Never ever. Because, I love you ianto Jones. No knife or bullet can kill me, but you. You can, if I were to ever lose you again to some fucking alien, I don't know what I would do." Iantos eyes widened. Jack loved him. The flirtious sexy charming captain jack Harkness just said he loved him.
