Truce?

It had been three weeks since John (a.k.a Mr. Smith) had driven Ianto to work and they'd been spending much of their time together. Well they did work together... However it seemed that the more time Ianto spent with John, the less time he spent mentoring Jack. Infact in these past few weeks Jack seemed to only speak to Ianto when need be. He still turned up to the lunchtime sessions once a week but they were obviously compulsory if he wanted to stay in the school. Although whenever they did speak to each other it was quiet and awkward as if neither wanted to be there.

'Jack are you alright? It's just you seem to be distant since well since the kiss...' Ianto questioned quietly making sure no one entered through the door.

'I'm fine.' was his instant reply. He didnt want to be reminded of the trouble he almost caused himself.

'Of course you are because everything in Jack Harkness' life is just fine.' He retorted raising his voice slightly but as soon as the words left his mouth Jack's head flew up in anger and disbelief.

'What do you know?! You haven't been to 8 different schools in one year! It's not like I meant to get beaten up by my own father, and I certainly didnt expect to be kissed by a teacher!' He argued but as he began to calm down he suddenly realised what he had let out. he had never told anyone about what his father used to do. Everyone knew of course thanks to his mother but he never actually let the words out himself. 'I'm sorry! Just ignore everything I said...'

'Jack...' Ianto began to sigh but then continued 'trust me I have a pretty good idea as to how you're feeling...'

'How? I mean I know you said similar things happened to you but I don't know how similar they were and I don't even know what aspect of my life is even similar to you. I mean you're so...I don't know... stable?' Ianto began to laugh at this.

'I've been called many things but never Stable... Listen Jack I am sorry that I kissed you and it was totally unacceptable of me. As for my own childhood memories well... my dad was also a drunk. A bad one at that... My older sister Rhiannon well... She was always the favourite never got the blame for anything, not that I'm angry at her or anything infact I'm quite the opposite, cause if she wasnt then it wouldnt have just been me who got the blame for me moms death... that's why he beat me. He thought I nagged about school work too much that I drove her to the death bed... For a while I even believed him.' Jack began to interupt trying to help the situation and Ianto noticed this straight away and continued quickly. ' I know that it wasnt now but...well... yunno how it is.' Jack just nodded in understanding. 'Anyway away for the dreary, we alright now? no more sulking about coming to see the old boring mentor?' He chuckled at his own joke.

'You aren't boring sir... maybe a bit old but well definately not boring...' He replied trying to sound as seductive as possible.

'Truce?' Ianto held out his hand to the young american, waiting for his hand in return.

When Jack searched the area and quickly pressing his lips to Ianto's in a passionate kiss. 'Truce.' he smirked and then began to leave the room. 'See you after lunch sir.' and with a wink he was gone.
