Thursday gave Ianto false sense of hope. Silent tears were falling down his face while his dad was on top of him, giving him a love bite. Ianto did have his shirt on but his dad pulled it down from the collar so he had clear access to his neck. Thats when the door bell rang. Frantically Ianto's dad pulled Ianto's shirt up to cover the love bite. He furiously whispered to Ianto to get rid of the tears. Ianto did so while his dad opened the door to Jack harkness in all his glory. Jack gave Ianto's dad a warm smile.
"Hello Captain Jack harkness and you are?"
"Jim Jones. JJ for short, I'm Ianto's farther"
They both shook hands. Jack looked over his shoulder to find Ianto standing up zipping up his jacket. Jack gently pushed past Jim and made his way over to Ianto whom he enveloped into a big hug.
"How are you? I haven't seen you for days"
"I'm..."
Ianto quickly looked over to his dad who was glaring at him and then quickly back to Jack
"Fine"
To reassure him Ianto gave Jack a smile. Jim was getting agitated now.
"I'm sorry Mr. harkness I think you better go"
Jack let go of Ianto and spun round to look at Jim
"Sorry?"
"I said you better go"
"Oh"
Jack looked back at Ianto to see that Ianto was giving him a pleading look. Jack pretended as if he didn't care what Jim said
"OK I have to get back to work anyway"
Ianto walked Jack to the door.
"What was that all about?"
"I am so sorry it's just that my dad doesn't like gays or bisexuals that much"
Jack snorted
"Well he obviously doesn't belong in the 21st century then"
A smile graced Ianto's lips.
"See you Monday"
"Yeah I suppose"
They hugged once more and with that Jack was gone. Ianto closed the door to return to his hell. As soon as he got to his farther he was punched halfway across the room
Ianto was three days closer to heaven
Jack made a note of the love bite that wasn't quite covered by Ianto's shirt
