Jack was still biting back emotions watching this. He felt anger towards Linda, who dumped him in front of 30,000 people on the planate Lorcarx. He longed to brush the hair out of Gary's eyes, and then felt a bit of embarrassment at just how young Gary looked. Seventeen was dubbed way too young after him. And, with a push, you could probably have Jack admit that he was a bit jealous that Ianto got to see all these people again. After all, these were the ones Jack loved, and missed, and here was Ianto seeing them all one final time.
Still, he was more worried about Ianto. He looked nervous, and was obviously waiting for people to stop arriving. Jack knew who would be last. It was as given as air. So when the tardis did show up, nearly 20 minutes later than everybody else, Jack breathed a sigh of relief. If the doctor was there, nothing could go that wrong. Of course, they would have to make it through the main event first.
Ianto, on the monitor, made a small cough. "Um. So. Hello. What are you all popping in for?" he gave hi9s best polite smile, foot tapping nervously. "Oh, eye-candy. This is an intervention. 's about time you knew the truth." Jack scoffed and rolled his eyes. Of course it would be John that took over. Half of him mused why John was even there. His and John's relationship was hardly about love; he could think of a much more accurate four letter word.
Ianto glowered. He could deal with visitors taking over, being called a queer regularly, and Owen's quips, but apparently having Captain John Hart was enough to set the fuse off. "You? You're giving me an intervention? Why, I didn't think you cared. I'll try to kick the sarcasm habit. Really, I will." Jack chuckled.
John rolled his eyes. "Really, kids these days. No respect. Oh, this is a drug I know a lot about, ok? 's time you knew." Three people in the corner groaned. "Oh, don't call him a bloody drug. He'd love that. He'd be all "Put me in your pipe and smoke me, baby, I can get you so high" Ugh." The first person to John's right spoke up, and while Ianto was clueless, Jack knew that rumpled brown suit anywhere. And he was a little insulted that the doctor thought he would say something that stupid. Honestly, jack thought, you have to work the word 'blow' in there somewhere.
John snorted, and at least half the group nodded in agreement. Ianto, however, was not so light hearted. "Jack?" he asked, wide eyed, "You're here to get me away…from Jack?"
