A/N: I am soooo sorry about the lack of updates on this and my other stories, RL has been crazy this term... A huge thank you to those still reading, hope you'll enjoy this little chapter! I'll really try to get better with the writing and updating!

This chapter is dedicated to Quiet Time and her puppydog-eyes!

Disclaimer: I, unfortunately, don't own anything... Otherwise, it would be with Ianto that Jack was having hot man-sex in Miracle Day...

On with the story...

"Fainted?"

"Yup, fainted. She just fell down on the floor, without any reason. Well, except that Jack introduced me as his boyfriend, of course."

Owen laughed out loud at this, and Tosh's eyes opened wide.

"Really? You wouldn't think Jack had friends that narrow-minded…" she said.

"Nah… I really have no idea why she fainted. And neither does Jack. I mean, you've met him, he is kind of flamboyant…"

"That's the understatement of the year, mate!" Owen said, as he finally stopped laughing. The idea of someone fainting because their friend was gay was preposterous.

"I just hope it'll go better next time…" Ianto sighed before they all went to their separate classes.

And it definitely went better the next time. Gwen and Rhys had been invited to dinner at Jack's, and when they arrived, Gwen was all smiles. She surprised both Jack and Ianto by not only bypassing Jack to say hello to Ianto first, but throwing herself around Ianto's neck. Rhys' and Jack's eyes almost fell out of their sockets at this, neither man had ever seen Gwen bypass Jack for anything. That's why she was such a good baby-sitter, she was always bending over backwards to make herself available to Jack. During dinner, they all had a great time, and Gwen asked Ianto about his job, where he had grown up, previous relationships, etc. Quite the little interrogation, but always with a smile. And a glint in her eyes that Ianto couldn't quite place. Rhys and Gwen left quite late, the four of them had spent almost four hours straight together, Ianto had only excused himself to put the kids to bed.

"So, that went well, don't you think?" Jack asked as he and Ianto dropped down on the couch after having seen their guests off, wrapping his arms around his lover.

"Yeah, I think so… They're both really nice, and it was nice that she didn't faint this time…" they both chuckled at this.

"So, Mr Jones, it's getting late…"

"So it is, Mr Harkness…"

"Well, Mr Jones, you've been spending more time with my friends than me this evening, so I think it's time for some one-on-one-time now… Would you like to move this to somewhere more comfortable?"

"Hm, difficult choice, staying here to watch TV, or being in bed with you… Hm…" Ianto looked deep in contemplation before jumping up and raced his lover to the bedroom.

Across town, in another bed, Rhys had just fallen asleep smiling, after having had a great evening. He was happy for his friend, who had been so devastated at the death of his wife. It was nice to see Jack smiling again, smiling properly. That's how he had known that this was it. He had been afraid that Jack wouldn't find love again after Estelle, but after seeing the two men together, he was certain that this was Jack's new chance at love and happiness.

Gwen too, smiled. During the course of the evening she had made sure to find out as much as possible about Ianto Jones. And now she felt she knew enough. There was no way Ianto could make Jack as happy as she could. And she knew just the way to get rid of her young countryman.
