Are we Together?

A/N sorry it took so long. I was going to leave it as a one shot but after receiving reviews for an update, i changed my mind and the result is below...enjoy ...xx

Ianto Jones stepped into Jack's quarters and sighed. His ... lover? Was sleeping on his side with a smile on his face. Did he put that there? Ianto smiled at the memories of the night before but ended up frowning as his thoughts led him down a black path. Did Jack love him or was Ianto just a piece on the side? Sure enough, Ianto knew about Jack's previous partners and one night stands but was Ianto different? Jack stirred and his eyelids fluttered. Ianto made his way over to the bed and gently sat on the side of it. Jack turned in his direction and smiled.

'Is that coffee I can smell?' He held his hands out blindly to grasp the mug but Ianto chuckled.

'Yes you smell coffee but no it's not for you.' Jack's smile fell a little but soon perked up again. Ianto began to feel apprehensive at the smirk tugging at Jack's lips.

'I smell a Ianto and that is definitely for me.' He pulled Ianto down for a kiss which was soon deepened. They broke apart as Ianto dropped the coffee mug and the hot beverage seeped into their clothing. Well, Ianto's clothing. Cursing, Ianto climbed off the bed and grabbed a towel lying nearby. He picked up the corner of the duvet to wipe it but replaced it when he revealed Jack. Naked. Blushing, he cleared his throat and turned away. Jack smiled cockily at the reaction.

'What's the matter? Don't like what you see?' Jack smiled and tilted his head to study Ianto. Blushing deeper, Ianto cleared his throat – again.

'No,' His voice was a mere whisper, 'I certainly like what I see and that's the problem.'

'And why is that a problem?' Jack chuckled to himself. He had Ianto going crazy for him. Ianto turned around and looked Jack in the eye.

'Because I won't be responsible for my actions if I happen to see it again.' Ianto smiled and left Jack's quarters.

By the time the team had arrived Jack and Ianto were dressed and sharing coffee in the meeting room. Gwen walked in rambling about Rhys to Tosh who had a bored expression on her face. Jack winked at her and she smiled and rolled her eyes. They took their seats and looked to Ianto who smiled.

'You're here early Ianto.' Gwen was never on for being subtle. Jack smirked at this put his head down which Tosh noticed. She looked from him to Ianto who was going redder by the minute. Mumbling something about coffee, Ianto left the room. They hadn't, had they? Trying to figure it out Tosh leaned back in her chair and thought.

Owen stumbled into the meeting room and glanced around, smirking slightly he sat down. The women and Jack noticed his smirk.

'Something funny Owen?' Jack spoke up.

'Yep.' Owen leaned back in his chair and placed his hands behind his head. 'I beat Ianto to work and now he owes me £10' Tosh looked incredulous.

'You made a bet on who would get to work first?' She leaned forward and studied Owen.

'Well not exactly. Ianto said I could never beat him to work so I told him to place his money where his mouth was. He did and I beat him to work.'

'That's a lie.' Owen toppled from his chair as Ianto placed his coffee in front of him. 'I said it was unlikely that you would beat me to work not that you'd never do it. Oh that's £10 you owe me.' Jack laughed at Owen's expression and winked at Ianto who blushed. Owen caught the exchange and came to a conclusion.

'No one won this – yet.' Everyone looked to Owen who was smirking again.

'What do you mean Owen? I beat you to work – fair and square.' Ianto looked at Jack who shrugged. He knew someone would figure them out but not this soon. However, there was nothing they could do to avoid it though.

'Ianto Jones, in order to beat me to work, you have to leave the office. I have strong belief that you stayed here the night.' The women gasped at this and looked from Jack to Ianto.

'You are wrong once again Owen Harper.' Ianto laughed at Owen's face. Inside, however, a different battle was going on. How did he know? It wasn't possible to have been caught so soon. Who else knew?

'So you're telling me that nothing happened between you and a certain Captain Jack last night?' Jack looked up at his name and smiled encouragingly at Ianto, he knew the man would need it to admit their relationship. Ianto swallowed and looked Owen in the eye.

'Nothing.' Jack felt the wind leave his airways. Why had Ianto just denied the fact they were together? Was he scared? Was he ashamed of them? Did he care about Jack? Leaving it down to the fact that maybe he was uncertain about letting everyone know, Jack watched Ianto leave the room and settled down to work.

The rest of the day had passed by without much event. Jack and Ianto had hardly spoken, apart from asking for coffee and the team had no idea what had happened between them; though they had their suspicions. Ianto was standing in the 'kitchen' waiting for the coffee machine when he felt two arms snake around his waist and a pair of lips attack his neck. He leaned back into the touch gaining a slight moan from Jack. Closing his eyes and gathering his thoughts, Ianto pulled out of Jack's grasp. Jack frowned as Ianto turned to face him.

'We can't Jack, not here anyway.' Ianto turned back around but Jack laid a hand on his arm.

'Why not?' Jack felt the electricity their touch created but ignored it. Ianto was being serious. He looked Ianto and was shocked at what he found there – pain. Why was he hurting? Jack hadn't done anything...the team hadn't done anything, why was his Ianto hurting. Jack was pulled from his thoughts by Ianto's voice.

'Because anyone could walk in and assume things that aren't true about us.' Jack felt like he had been punched in the stomach. Ianto didn't take them seriously, didn't take Jack seriously.

'What about last night Ian?' (A/N Pronounced 'yan' as Jack's own nickname for Ianto.) Jack ran his hand along Ianto's arm but Ianto brushed it off. He turned to the sink and took a deep breath. This was hard. He didn't even know why he had to do it. But he did. He had to stop loving Jack and the only way was to end what they had. He cried inside when he thought about leaving him but it had to be done.

'It was just sex Jack – surely you can see that?' Ianto longed to take Jack into his arms and kiss his fears away when he saw the expression on his face. It was hurt and despair. Ianto had to look away before his defenses broke down.

'Just sex?' Jack's voice was a mere whisper. Was this how everyone felt after a one-night stand. It was awful. Jack felt as if someone had stabbed him and it hurt. How could he hurt? He was Jack Harkness, Captain of Torchwood who never fell in love. But he did. He fell in love with the one person who hurt him most. The person who was stood in front of him ending what they had. Ianto took a deep breath and took the plunge.

'Just sex.' He finished the coffee and left the kitchen; leaving Jack standing there with a tear sliding down his cheek.

A/N before you kill me, i had my reasons for doing this... review.
