Ianto walked into the hub and realised everyone else had already arrived..great, he thought, I'm late. After moving quickly past everyone-unnoticed as usual- he arrived at the kitchen and flicked on the kettle.
"Ianto?" Ianto turned to find Jack staring at him, puffy and red from crying.
"Im sorry, Jack," sometimes he hated himself for being nice.
He realised Jack was about to say something and cut him off.
"I meant everyword of it. But I shouldn't of said it. It was unproffesional." Ianto turned back around to finish making the coffee. Jack stood there helplessly. When he was finished, he put all the mugs of coffee, including Jack's out of habit, on a tray and made his way to the hub. He firstly arrived at Tosh's desk where her and Owen stood chatting.
"Here you go," Ianto said with a smile as he gave them their drinks, but he could tell they were worried, he too was crying earlier that morning and had red eyes.
"Ianto? Please talk to me?" Ianto realised Jack was standing behind him.
"Not here Jack."
"Please Ianto, let me explain."
"Theres nothing left to say," Ianto mumbled as he Gave Gwen her coffee. He and Jack were fully aware that all three Torchwood members were now watching.
"Ianto, please, you have it all wrong." Ianto could sense the desperation in Jack's voice.
"JACK. I said not here." Ianto was now practically shouting.
"WHY NOT?! I WANT EVERYONE TO KNOW HOW MUCH YOU MEAN TO ME?!
"Oh for fucks sake Jack. Give it a rest."
"Ianto please.." Jack moved closer and Ianto could tell he was crying.
"You hurt me Jack. Theres nothing more to say cariad.." Ianto realised what he said. "Fuck. Sorry. I guess I should stop calling you that."
Ianto walked past Jack but Jack spun him around and was now shouting. "Don't you dare stop calling me that! Don't you dare! I don't love Gwen I promise!"
"Jack.."
"I promise! If anything I envy her. I want what she has, a normal life! Being able to grow old and die with the person you love! Having a family! Not letting Torchwood get in the way! So you don't you ever..DARE, STOP CALLING ME CARIAD."
"Jack..It's tainted..This whole 'thing' we have is tainted. After what i heard yesterday, paranoia will always be there to remind me that I'm not good enough."
Jack stepped closer to Ianto and spoke softly but luckily the other memebers of Torchwood could still hear.
"Ianto. You are good enough. Hell, if anything you're better. I would never call anyone else apart from you cariad. I was calling you. I had already put the phone down. You can even ask Gwen. But yes. I am jealous of her. She gets to grow old with the person she loves like I said. And Ianto, baby, you have no idea how much I want to grow old with you. Because cariad, I love you. And it pains me to think that I can't spend all of eternity with you...as for the paranoia? Fuck it. I will be there, holding you and reassuring you that I love you every single night, for as long as you shall there is no other person I would rather wake up next to."
Before Jack could say anything else, Ianto crushed his lips to Jack's and as much as they tried none of them could hold back the tears.
"I fucking love you cariad, more than you'll ever know." Jack whispered into Ianto's ear before going to pull away, but Ianto just kept him close.
"Jack? Feel free to get that Unit cap of martha." Ianto growled with a smile and could literally feel Jack's eyes widening. Suddenly, they both pulled away as they heard Owen coughing. When they looked toward him, they could see a glint of a tear in his eye.
"Sorry, to put a stop to your display of affection here, but I have an alien to disect." Owen tried to get away.
"What's the matter Owen? Gonna cry?" Jack taunted earning himself a chuckle from Ianto and a scowl from Owen.
Suddenly when Owen left, the hub got awkward and Jack made for a quick escape.
"Well, I've erm..got a lot of paperwork.." Jack spoke before gently kissing Ianto's cheek and whispering something in his ear. "I love you."
Ianto just blushed as Jack turned away to go to his office. Ianto was lucky he had his tourist office, like Jack had his office, to escape to. But before he could escape he saw Gwen making his way over to him...ah, shit.
"Ianto?"
"Hi Gwen..Look, I'm really sorry.." Ianto was cut off by Gwen.
"No. Ianto, I am so sorry, I shouldn't have phoned I know, but I was drunk and had an arguement with Rhys, and..well, I see Jack as an older brother so i went to him for advice. And he most certainly never called me cariad, not that i know what that is.." Gwen looked embarrassed and Ianto was shocked at her apology.
"It's okay Gwen, really, and it mean sweetheart." Ianto saw the grin that crept onto Gwen's face.
"He loves you Ianto, don't ever let anyone come between you." Gwen smiled before returning to her desk.
A few hours later, Jack was sitting at his desk, thinking about Ianto. He was so glad everything was out in the open and they didn't have to hide anymore. He wanted to prove to everyone how much he really did love Ianto. Suddenly, Jack was pulled out of his thoughts by an email. He turned to his computer to see it was Ianto, his smile grew deeper as he read what the email contained.
Jack ran down the steps and into the hub, "RIGHT. Everyone you can go home, nothing wrong the rift and you guys have been working hard, so off you go." Jack was literally putting their coats on them and shoving them out. He then grabbed his great coat and made his way to the garage where they kept the SUV, with a huge smile on his face.
He then thought back to what the email had said,
"Jack, you know how you said you would help me with anything? Well, I need help. I've left my clothes somewhere..but I don't know where. I'm in the SUV..and need someone to keep me company. But be quick, or else I might have to give Martha this red Unit cap back..
P.s. I love you."
PLEASE REVIEW.:D
