As they walked to the pub Ianto kept a firm grip on Jack's hand and Tosh had taken it as her personal role to make sure he didn't escape by clinging to his other side. Gwen had her arm through Owen's. As they entered the pub they went and sat in there usual booth. Ianto sat next to Jack. Gwen and Tosh went opposite and Owen went at the end. Jack handed Owen some money.
"Go and get a round of drinks" Jack smiled. Owen tutted with a smile and got up and went to the bar.
"So are you going to tell us what happened in the 3 months you were gone?" Tosh asked.
"3 months is that how long I was gone" Jack sighed. Everyone nodded. Owen returned with the drinks and handed Jack his change. Jack noticed that Ianto's hand was now rested on his thigh. He smiled. Over the next half an hour Jack summarized what had happened from when he heard the Tardis until the Doctor and Martha dropped him of in the centre of Cardiff. When he had finished everyone sat there in silence.
"WOW" exclaimed Gwen. He told them everything, except the part where he was tortured daily and they were killed in front of him. He thought that was a bit too much for them.
"Did I miss much?" asked Jack. Everyone was still stunned. They all shook there heads. While he sat there Jack looked at them all. The general look of them all was complete exhaustion. They looked like they had not had a good night sleep the 3 months he had been gone. It hurt him to see the pain he had caused them in his absence.
"If you don't mind Jack I am going to go home" Gwen admitted.
"It's fine with me Gwen, Oh what day is it" He asked
"Thursday" Ianto laughed
"Everyone as my first order back in Cardiff. Unless there is a huge emergency I will see you all on Monday okay" Jack said banging his fist on the table. "No offence but you all look like crap and I think you need the sleep" Everyone laughed with him.
"I'm going to go to as well" Said Tosh as she stood up. Jack nodded with a smile
"I will give you both a lift home" said Owen He stood up. He held his hand out to Jack.
"It's good to have you back Jack" whispered Owen. He shook Owen's hand
"It's good to be back" Jack said.
"Bye Jack, bye Ianto" Owen, Gwen and Tosh walked out of the pub. Ianto rested his head on Jack's shoulder. Jack looked at him. His team had helped him get through that year with the Master, but most of all Ianto helped. He came to Jack when he was most desperate and needed a pick me up. He would hear him whisper in his ear. Those sweet welsh vowels of his. He would feel the occasional brush on his shoulder.
"Will you stay with me tonight Jack?" Ianto asked him. He looked right into his eyes. Jack couldn't have said no even if he had wanted to. Jack nodded. They both got up and walked out of the pub. They held hands as they walked towards Ianto's apartment. They did not know what was coming in the future but all they needed was this night together.
"Remember the 21st century is when everything changes" Jack whispered
"What's that" Ianto asked. He had heard Jack muttering.
"I'm saying I bet you can't catch me" Jack said running off. Ianto chased off after him. They both had huge grins on there faces. The lovers ran off into the darkness, forgetting all their worries and forgetting about what might happen tomorrow and that all that matters is what is happening right now.
