Ianto sat starring at the diary entry he had written more then eight years ago as he sat in his car.

"Would I really have told myself to kiss Captain Jack Harkness?" he mumbled.

It had been three weeks since the battle of Canary Warf and he was desperate to get into Torchwood three to help save his best friend Lisa Hallett who had been partially converted into a cyberman.

Lisa had been his best friend, his only friend at Torchwood one, in London in general. A lot of people had told Ianto that he should've tried asking her out, but for some reason, he just never tried, he was content with their friendship the way it was and because she was his closest friend he promised that he would do his best to save her.

And if that meant flirting with Captain Jack Harkness he would do so, but why on earth would he want to kiss him?

Ianto sighed and closed his diary.

He had made two attempts to get into Torchwood three, and so far, both attempts were failures, so he resorted to his final attempt.

Ianto knew that Captain Harkness seemed to be a man of action, always enjoying the chance to go out into the field, and so, with a rift activity locator he had salvaged from Torchwood one, he found a pterodactyl that had slipped through time and into a warehouse. It was a perfect opportunity.

So when he took a deep breath and stepped out infront of Captain Harkness's SUV, he hoped he knew what he was doing. Ianto took the man's threats without a flinch and responded with a simple, "So you're not going to help me catch this pterodactyl then?"

The look on the man's face, let him know that he had gotten the Captain's attention.

This was going to be interesting.

.

And it was. He found himself easily flirting with the man about his aftershave, just to be surprised as he found out that the Captain wore no aftershave and he smelled that way naturally.

Ianto wasn't exactly fond to know that the man would rather have a pterodactyl come work for him as opposed to Ianto who could actually make himself useful.

But in the end, catching the pterodactyl had been fun, and he found himself laughing like he hadn't laughed in a long time, and he finally felt like himself for the first time since moving to London.

Then he realized he was lying on top of Jack Harkness, their noses barely an inch away from each other, and suddenly he figured out, what his older self had been talking about years before.

Ianto wanted to kiss Captain Jack Harkness, and it confused and thrilled him at the same time. He'd never been attracted to a man before. This was a first.

He saw the way the Captain was watching him intently. He could feel the lust and desire radiating off the man. It would have been so easy to close the gap.

The seconds ticked away, he could feel their hearts beating in sync with each other, and at that moment, he made his decision, he took a deep breath and closed the gap between them, and it was in that moment that he felt his entire world shift, as if something drastic had just happened within him giving him an intense feeling of vertigo.

The Captain kissed back enthusiastically, and Ianto found himself responding in the same manner gripping the man's shirt collar tightly, as if hoping it would keep him from floating away.

Ianto broke the kiss gasping for air. "This is a first." he mumbled.

He felt the man beneath him shake as he chuckled. "Really now? You're the one that started it Jones, Ianto Jones." he said in a flirtatious tone of voice.

Ianto looked down at him, and was surprised to find himself grinning slightly. "Must be the pheromones." he quipped, standing up. He held out his hand and helped the older man off the ground. "Of course, maybe we should take care of this unconscious pterodactyl as opposed to snogging like teenagers till it wakes up."

The Captain laughed and Ianto felt his stomach do a happy flip for some odd reason. He really liked the sound.

"Care to help me get it back to the hub?" he asked. "Or would you rather wait till you report for work tomorrow morning?"

Ianto smiled, he was in, and it appeared, he may have found himself a somewhat unusual friendship.

"If I help you tonight, can I name it?" he asked with a chuckle.

The Captain laughed again. "Why? What would you name her?"

"Myfanwy." he said.

The Captain starred. "Her voice isn't exactly melodic." he said.

"That's the point sir." he admitted.

The Captain just smiled and shook his head, "Come on, let's get Myfanwy to her new home. By the way, love the suit."

And with that Ianto assisted the man in carefully readying the pterodactyl for transport, feeling happier then he had in a long time, promising himself that he would stay happy for as long as he possibly could.
