Chapter 6

It was Ianto's final day and he was finally saying his goodbyes. Tosh couldn't stop the tears falling so Ianto brought over some super soak tissues. He was also sure that a few tears were welling up in Owen's eyes, but decided not to say anything. He didn't have a big leaving party. It wasn't his type of thing but Owen did insist on having a few pints after work, with him and Tosh.

'So Ianto were you off to now?' Owen was very curious at this point, he hadn't been told anything about Ianto's departure. I suppose no one thought he was interested really.

'Well I'm going to take a nice holiday first of all. Catch up on some sleep. Then I have to go work for UNIT. The only way Jack won't retcon the last 5 years of my life I mean I did work for Torchwood 2 before I came here.'

'Sounds nice. You gonna be working with Martha then?' Tosh was quite intrigued by Ianto's plan.

'Yeah. UNIT thought it would be best if I worked with someone I could trust.' Ianto started to giggle at the thought, he hardly knew Martha really. He never knew before the brief visit, when Owen was shot.

'You can't forget to write. Okay Teaboy!'

'Yes Owen. Don't worry. I'll be fine, and so will you.'

'Do you think you'll ever come back?' Tosh began to cry again. She couldn't think of her life without Owen. Who would help her to ask Owen out? She couldn't exactly talk to Gwen about it not after what she has done to Ianto.

'I'm not sure yet. Depends if UNIT like me or not, I suppose.'

'Of course they'll like you! Everyone likes you! Why do you think Jack tried to stop you leaving all week! He doesn't want you to go!' Owen was desperately trying to get Ianto to reconsider going to UNIT. 'You know if you asked Jack wouldn't fire Gwen just like that! But obviously you can't ask him of that can you, because you always think of others before yourself.' Owen started to calm down after his little rant. Ianto had decided and wasn't going to change his mind no matter what.

'Oh speaking of Jack, he wanted me to give you this he said don't open it until you get to UNIT.' Tosh handed Ianto a small parcel that weighed a few pound but still quite light.

'Thanks Tosh. I'm really gonna miss you guys. We have to meet up some time.'

'We'll miss you too Teaboy.'

By the end of the night everyone had shed tears and said their goodbyes to their former colleague.

As Ianto unpacked in his new flat, he came across the parcel Tosh had given him at his last day of work. He slowly began to tear the parcel making sure nothing feel out. You never know what you get with Jack could be anything. The parcel had finally been stripped of its wrapping and Ianto sat there just staring as his old rusty broken stopwatch lay on his new bed. Underneath the stopwatch was a letter which seemed to have Jack's handwriting on and Ianto began to read as he held on to the watch.

My sweet Ianto,

I am very sorry I upset you and hope we can still meet up now and then (as friends). I never meant for any of this to happen. I truly am sorry. I was stupid as usual but you will always be in my heart no matter where you are. For the rest of my life I will remember the good times we shared. I hope Martha looks after you from now on. I'm sorry I wasn't there for you when you needed me. As you have probably noticed I have given you the stopwatch that we used for the very first time. It's still broken but I thought you might still want it. Words cannot describe how sorry I am and I hope one day you can forgive me.

Lots of Love

Jack
