Ianto was asleep in his bed when there was a knock on his door. At first he just turned on his side, almost not hearing the sound, until the knock became a little louder. Now Ianto looked at his watch and swore loudly.

"Who the hell knocks on a door at this time at night?"

Ianto opened the door, to see Jack standing in the doorway.

"Jack what the hell are you doing here? I thought I told you I needed time to get over you."

"You did, there is just one problem."

"And that would be?"

"Well if you get over me, then I would have to get over you. First of all, I don't want to, and second of all, I can't take a month of work, I'm the boss."

"Jack now really isn't the time to joke. I said I needed time, so why are you here?"

"Tosh."

"What?"

"Tosh told me to grow a pair and tell you how I feel."

"I can't believe you! You're blaming Tosh? Why don't you just go to the pub, and find some girl or guy to shag? I mean that's what you been doing for years, so why not now?"

"Now it's you who don't get it. I haven't slept with anyone else since we made that arrangement."

"Why not? That's not like you."

"Because when I fall in love, I can't think of anyone but that person. And right now, and for a long time to come, that person is you!"

"Hold on."

Ianto got his phone out and dialed Tosh's number."

"Hey Ianto, what's up?"

"Hey Tosh. Did you tell Jack to grow a pair and tell me how he feels?"

"Yeah, and I really hope that this is gonna work, cause Jack's been mopping around the hub all week. He loves you Ianto, but it scares him."

"It scares me too. I guess I'll see you tomorrow?"

"Yeah, bye Ianto."

"Bye Tosh."

Ianto hung up the phone and finally let the tears, that had been kept in his eyes, fall. Ianto leaned against the wall and let himself fall to the floor. Jack slowly got down next to him.

"So do you believe me now?"

"But why didn't you say something?"

"Do you have any idea how scared I am right now? Ianto we work for Torchwood! I could lose you tomorrow. Do you have any idea what that does to me?"

Jack had pulled Ianto into a hug, and Ianto's head was now leaning on Jack's chest.

"I love you Jack."

"I love you too Ianto, forever and always."
