Title: Bloodlust

Pairings/Characters: Jack/Ianto, Captain Jack Harkness, Ianto Jones, Owen Harper, Toshiko Sato, Gwen Williams

Warnings: Not sure at the moment, I'm betting for Fluff and Angst though looks like some Smut too.

Summary: Here's my weird way of explaining this one: Ianto is bitten by an alien which slowly changes him. Can the Team stop the effects before it's too late?

Author Notes: …why do I always write it with the question at the end of the summary…it's like…dum dum dum!!!! I couldn't come up with a name for this story so I stole it from a TV show, so special thanks to them. Okay I'm done.
Disclaimer: I wish I owned Torchwood, if I did, Ianto wouldn't be put in all these life or death situations, he'd be in my room. But I don't, sorry. I don't own the name of the story either, sorry guys.

Chapter Ten – Wait

The team stood in front of Ianto's cell. Ianto wasn't the slightest bit confused. He had heard what they'd said upstairs and was grinning from ear to ear.

"I drink this, and I'm cured?"

"I don't know for sure, but I'm Doctor Owen Harper so all signs point to yes." Owen replied smugly.

"Drink it Ianto, for the love of god, drink it." Jack snuck the tube through one of the holes in the glass.

He grinned as Ianto held the other side of it. Ianto took it and carded it through his hands for a moment before turning to Owen.

"I have a couple of questions first."

"Drink it Ianto!" Jack urged.

"Just, let me ask. Firstly, please tell me there's no blood in this."

"Sorry Ianto but there are traces of blood in it."

Ianto cringed but he knew already. He could smell it through the glass of the small tube.

"Ianto, please don't let that stop you from drinking it." Jack pleaded.

"Just one more thing before I do." Ianto shot a reassuring glance at Jack, "What effects will it have?"

"Uh, drowsiness, you'll need sleep for it to have a full effect, maybe dizziness." Owen shrugged.

Ianto sighed and pulled the cork from the top of the tube. Reluctantly he drank all of it, hissing at the horrible taste.

"Urgh, that's disgusting."

Jack chuckled, "I'm so proud of you."

After a moment Ianto swayed on his feet, "I feel funny."

"Owen, I'm going in."

"I don't know if that's such a good idea." Owen warned.

"Tosh!" Jack yelled, waiting impatiently at the door.

The light flashed green as the door unlocked and Jack rushed in.

"Jack, step back, please!" Ianto urged, continuing to sway and stumble where he stood.

"Owen, what's going on?"

"Well anti-venom contains the venom so it may start by making its effects stronger before helping him. That's why I said not to go in there."

Ianto stepped towards Jack but the older man could tell he was fighting it.

"Ianto, calm down. Everything will be okay and we'll be snogging each other senseless in no time." Jack smiled over at him, trying to lighten the growing hysteria in the room.

"Jack. Oh god you smell so good." Ianto clenched his teeth.

"We can't stand here and watch this, Tosh let me in there!" Owen ordered, heading to the door.

"No! The last thing we need is to surround Ianto with the smell of blood. Go up to the main hub and keep watch on the CCTV. I can take care of this." Jack looked at each of them, daring them to disobey.

"But Jack –" Tosh began but was quickly interrupted.

"Go!"

The three of them rushed away and Jack quickly turned back to the Welshman, "It's just you and me now Yan."

"Get out of here!" Ianto grew paler and Jack stared over at him in fear.

"Even if I wanted to I can't, we're both locked in."

"You smell so tempting Jack." Ianto whimpered, "I can only imagine a taste."

"Don't think like that Ianto."

Ianto walked closer to the older man and he kept still, trying not to tempt the younger man further. Ianto gently touched Jack's cheek and chuckled. Jack's brows furrowed in confusion.

"Wishes do come true. I can touch you, finally."

Jack grinned but dared not make any sudden moves in the proximity. All he could do was wait for the anti-venom to take full effect.

"Jack, I'm sorry. I…god, I'm tired." Ianto murmured, still swaying on his feet.

"Relax, go with it. Let yourself drift Ianto. I'll be here when you wake." Jack tried to make his voice soothing and lulled Ianto, urging him to sleep.

"Promise you'll be here." Ianto's hand kept contact with Jack's cheek and he breathed in heavily, moaning as he could almost taste Jack from the scent alone.

Jack tried to ignore the blissful look that crossed the younger man's face, "I promise."

Ianto swayed a few more steps.

"Jack, I…"

Jack caught Ianto just before he hit the floor and smiled at the now unconscious, still body.

"Not long now Ianto."

"What the hell is going on Owen?" Gwen glared at him as they watched the live footage, watched as Ianto walked towards Jack.

"It's working Gwen, give it time!" Owen snapped but didn't move his eyes from the screen.

He let out a relieved breath as Ianto collapsed into Jack's arms, "See, just as I'd planned."

"Sure it was." Tosh smiled, "How long 'till he's back to normal?"

"Not sure. Should be most of the way when he wakes, if not, completely." Owen grinned.

Jack sat with his back against the wall and his legs spread out. Ianto's body was sprawled out over him and he laced his hand gently through the Welshman's hair as he rambled about anything that came to mind.

"I know this doesn't look it, but it's really comfortable. Anything is really comfortable with you involved. You know, I once got locked in one of these babies completely naked." Jack chuckled, "I don't know why but the stories that end in nudity are just so much more funny. Maybe it's my childish sense of humour, but everyone else laughs..."

Jack sighed as he looked down at Ianto.

"You don't look so 'living dead' anymore, although you pull off that look well. Hell, you pull off any look well. Remind me to buy you a new red tie, by the way. I didn't mean to ruin you're last one but I was having trouble concentrating." Jack grinned for a moment before pulling Ianto up in his lap.

"What do you want to do when you wake up? I'll take you mug shopping, we don't have any spares, I could take you clothes shopping, buy you a new suit to go with the new red tie. What else? I'll clean out the hub for you and I'll feed Myfanwy and the weevils."

Jack kissed Ianto's forehead gently.

"Myfanwy misses you. I can tell by the way she's been circling the hub, looking for you. Come on Ianto, wake up, if not for me then for her."

It's been too long since I mentioned Myfanwy in a fic, felt compelled to add her. Nearly over now. Last chapter will just be the Epilogue, get ready hehe.

Cheers.
