Chapter four
Late one night, seven months after Jack's return, Ianto and David were finishing a nice home-cooked meal, Ianto had cooked in celebration of the fact that they had been dating for ten months. There relationship had progressed nicely, they had met each other's parents, they had each others house keys, they spent almost every night together, watching tv, a movie or went out for dinner they were happy.
"Are you going to stay the night" asked Ianto as he picked up the dirty plates.
" I'd love to, but I have a meeting early in the morning and you, mister always make me late" he wrapped his arms around Ianto and kissed him.
An hour or so later Ianto closed the door behind his lover with a smile on his face, he sat down on the sofa and watched the repetition of the match he missed. He had just gotten comfortable when someone knocked at his door, he torn off the Telly and went to answer the door.
"Jack what the hell are you doing here" he exclaimed as he found Jack at his doorstep.
" Ianto, i need to talk to someone, and you were the closest stop" Jack said who looked very upset.
"Come in" Jack was not the sensitive type so something must be wrong" want coffee or tea"
"Just water, thanks" he said as he made his way to the sofa, he sat down " and David?" He Asked knowing that Ianto spent almost all of his time with David.
" he left not long ago" responded Ianto, as he walked towards Jack with a glass of water, he handed it to him and sat opposite Jack " so what's up"
" remember when I disappeared for three months?" Jack started
"Yes, you left and fucked up our relationship" Ianto responded.
"Yeah" Jack said ignoring the fact Ianto's comment hurt Jack, because it was true Ianto had moved on because he left " I had to go, I needed to close that chapter of my life" he told Ianto all of it, what happened to end the time war, about Bad Wolf, the events to the never was and the nightmares. Ianto was like always was a good listener. When Jack finished Ianto stayed silent for a minute or two.
" I don't know what to say, I thought I had a difficult past, I can't even begin to imagine your pain" Ianto said truthfully.
""It wasn't that bad, I mean there has been times I'd wish I could die. But these past months I've been been back have been quite painful " as soon as he said it he wished he hadn't.
"Why?" Ianto was genuinely curious
"Forget it, I shouldn't have said anything about it"
"Tell me please" Ianto got insistent
"Do you really want to know?" Ianto nod "These months have been tough because of you"
"Me?" Ianto was shocked " I thought that you only asked me out, 'cause you found out that Gwen was getting married "
"yeah you Yan when I said that I came back for you, I meant it. When I found out you had moved on it broke my heart" He paused " you have no idea how much it hurts seeing you everyday and trying to act professional, when what I e really want to do is hold you close. I love you Ianto Jones"
"Fuck Jack, don't get me wrong telling you about David was one of the hardest things I ever had to do, but I have fallen in love with David and is nice having a life outside of torchwood" Ianto was telling the truth word, for word. " but sometimes I do think about old times"
They both laughed nostalgically. Jack could not help himself and let over to kiss Ianto, who pulled away.
" I should go" Ianto noded at this " see you tomorrow" he said as he walked toward the door.
