Chapter 11: Gifts

Ianto glanced at Bella and Jack suspiciously as the two whispered softly to one another, sending quick glances Ianto's way every now and then. The two had been sneaking around and whispering quietly to each other a lot lately, ever since a few days after Gwen and Rhys' wedding just over a month and a half before. Ianto knew that whatever they were plotting, it had something to do with him since they would stop talking abruptly whenever he would enter a room or venture too close. Knowing that trying to figure out what the two were up to was completely useless, Ianto shrugged to himself and made his way over to his desk, not noticing that Jack and Bella's eyes locked onto him as he did, carefully watching his every move.

Jack and Bella watched intently as Ianto walked over to his desk. They knew the instant the Welshman discovered the gift that had been left in the center of the desk, Ianto stopping in surprise for a moment before putting down the folder he was holding and picking up the package. They quickly turned to face one another again as Ianto turned to look in their direction, though they continued to watch him out of the corner of their eyes.

"I think he'll like it," Bella stated as she watched Ianto put the package back on the desk and pick up the card that had been leaned against it.

"I really hope so," Jack replied, his attention mostly focused on his boyfriend. "Do you think he'll play along?"

Bella nodded, "He's too curious about all the whispering not to."

Ianto opened the card that had been leaning against the gift on his desk and opened it up, a slip of paper fluttering out to land on his desk as he did so. He picked the paper back up then turned his attention back to the card.

'Merry Christmas, Love. I know we already all exchanged gifts earlier, but I have a few more gifts for you. You won't be getting them all at once, however. Now, with these gifts you'll find notes; keep these, they're important. On the back of each note is a letter and a number, the letters will all combine to spell something in the end and the numbers will give you the order the letters go in, so don't lose them. Please try not to figure it out until the end, Love, you're too smart and it will ruin the surprise if you figure it out in advance. I hope you like your gifts. Love, Jack'

Ianto glanced up at Jack once more as he finished reading the card, but his boyfriend was still seemingly deep in conversation with Bella. Shrugging lightly and deciding to go ahead and play along, Ianto turned his attention to the slip of paper in his hand, smiling softly as he read over the lyrics written there.

'Maybe it's intuition
But some things you just don't question
Like in your eyes
I see my future in an instant
And there it goes
I think I found my best friend'

Turning it over, he saw the letter 'R' and the number three. He glanced at Jack and Bella curiously once more before shaking his head lightly and putting the slip of paper down on his desk, reaching for his gift instead. Opening it up, he found a box of his favorite brand of dark chocolate. Grinning happily, Ianto pulled out a couple pieces, eating them slowly and savoring the flavor.

Placing the lid back on his chocolates, Ianto put the box safely into his desk drawer and made his way over to where his boyfriend and Bella were talking on the couch. Sitting down on Jack's lap, he leaned in and kissed the Captain softly, letting his tongue sweep through the older man's mouth and letting him taste the dark chocolate he had just eaten. Pulling back, he smiled at Jack. "Thank you, Jack, I love them." He turned to look at Bella, raising an eyebrow slightly in question. "You know what all of my gifts are, don't you?" he asked.

"But of course," Bella replied grinning up at Ianto. "I helped him plan the whole thing, after all. Oh, it was all his idea, but he still needed a bit of help. And if helping meant that I got to know everything in advance, well, that's just a bonus."

Ianto nodded as he stood up once more. "Well, at least I know I won't be getting a severed head then," he said as he looked at the two, amusement dancing in his eyes.

"You mean you didn't want one of those?" Bella asked innocently, her eyes wide with false innocence. She turned to look at Jack. "We'll have to find something to replace that gift with, then," she told him, a smile tugging at her lips as she tried to bite back the laughter that wanted to escape.

Jack nodded. "I suppose we will," he replied. "But what can we replace it with? I mean, a severed head is hard to beat…"

Ianto shook his head in amusement as he turned to head back over to his desk and the paperwork that had been abandoned upon discovery of his gift. "Bloody mental, the both of you," he muttered, a smile crossing his face as he heard the two of them break down into laughter behind him.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Ianto smiled as he walked into the tourist office the next morning to see a small, thin package sitting on the counter. Picking up the note, he looked at the back first and saw an 'M' and a six. Turning it back over, he read the short note.

'I'll be there when the world stops turning
I'll be there when the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you'

Smiling at the lyrics, Ianto quickly pulled the paper off of his gift, revealing a new black leather journal with his name embossed across the front in a blue that matched his eyes. Pocketing the note, Ianto headed down to the Hub with the new journal in hand. He had a boyfriend to find and thank.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Ianto looked up as the bell over the door to the tourist office rang the next evening. A young girl in her late teens stepped inside, a vase full of Roses in her hands. She quickly stepped up to the counter in front of Ianto and gave him a smile.

"Delivery for Ianto Jones," she said, gently placing the vase on the counter and pulling a clipboard out from under her arm.

Ianto nodded, "That's me." He took the clipboard, signing his name where indicated before handing it back to the teen.

"It's a bit odd, isn't it?" the girl asked and Ianto gave her a curious look. "The arrangement, nine Roses. What's wrong with the normal dozen or six? Isn't nine a bit odd?"

Ianto just smiled in reply as he pulled the Roses closer to him, breathing in the scent of the beautiful flowers.

The girl shrugged lightly and turned around, heading back out the door.

Once the girl was out of sight, Ianto reached out and plucked the note from where it was nestled in the bouquet. Glancing at the back, he saw an 'A' and a two before turning it back over to read the front.

'And now, as long as I can
I'm holding on with both hands
Cause forever I believe
That there's nothing I could need but you
So if I haven't yet
I've gotta let you know…
You're never gonna be alone
From this moment on
If you ever feel like letting go
I won't let you fall'

Ianto carefully picked up the flowers and made his way down into the Hub. He stopped for a moment to put the vase and note on his desk before continuing on to the conference room where the rest of the team was gathered going over notes from their last case. Stepping up behind Jack, Ianto slipped his arms around his Captain and lightly kissed his neck, pressing a kiss to Jack's lips when the older man turned to look at him.

"You like your present then?" Jack asked.

"They're beautiful," Ianto replied. "As is the meaning behind them. Nine red Roses, means 'We'll be together forever,' if I remember correctly."

Jack nodded. "You do."

Ianto just smiled and pressed another kiss to Jack's lips.

Bella watched the two with a happy smile on her face, turning to look at Owen curiously as he nudged her.

"You know what that's all about, don't you?" Owen asked.

Bella nodded, "Yup."

"You're not going to tell me either, are you?"

"Nope," Bella replied with a grin and Owen shook his head before turning back to the papers in front of him.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Ianto slipped up to the main room of the Hub from Jack's room early on the morning of the fourth day, idly wondering what type of gift he might receive and what it could be. Entering the small kitchen area, Ianto set about making a pot of coffee so that it would be ready when everyone arrived for the day. He very nearly dropped the coffee canister when he opened it to see a small box inside with a note attached to it. Quirking an eyebrow as he removed the gift, he had to admit that it was an original place to hide the small package.

Ianto smiled as he read the short note.

'If you're lost, you can look
And you will find me
Time after time
If you fall, I will catch you
I'll be waiting
Time after time'

Turning the paper over, there was another 'R' and the number four on the back. He tucked the note into his pocket and gently dusted the coffee grounds off of the small package before opening it to reveal a beautiful silver pocketwatch. Gently turning it over in his hands, Ianto smiled at the inscription on the back. 'Until The End Of Time' was written on the back in elegant, flowing calligraphy.

Tucking the pocketwatch into his pocket, Ianto started the coffee to brewing before heading back to Jack's room with a grin on his face as he thought of exactly how he could thank his boyfriend for this gift.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Ianto was excited and fidgety all day the next day, anxious to find out what his next gift was. Jack and Bella watched in amusement as Ianto got more and more fidgety as the day went on until finally Bella slipped his gift into place while Jack distracted his boyfriend.

A few minutes later, Ianto sat down at his desk and opened the drawer to pull out a file he was working on, only to find a large package and a note in the drawer instead. Pulling both out, Ianto picked up the note, seeing an 'E' and a seven on the back before turning it over. On the front was the shortest message yet.

'Look at this photograph
Every time I do it makes me laugh
Every time I do it makes me…'

Pulling the paper off of the gift, Ianto saw a large photo album. The cover had the word 'Family' written across the top with a picture of the whole team underneath it. The picture was one that Rhys had taken of them less than a week before when they had all gotten together to celebrate Christmas. Jack was standing behind Ianto with his arms around the younger man's waist and his chin resting on Ianto's shoulder. Bella was standing next to them, leaning lightly against the couple with Owen on her other side, his arm around her waist. Owen's other arm was draped over Tosh's shoulders as he held her close to his side. Gwen was last, her arm linked with Tosh's. All six of them were grinning widely at the camera.

Ianto smiled as he traced over the picture for a moment before opening the album. His grin widened as he caught sight of the first picture. It was a picture he hadn't even known had been taken. In the picture, he and Jack were sound asleep on the couch , Jack's arms wrapped firmly around him and Ianto cuddled against Jack, using the older man's chest as a pillow. The two of them looked utterly content. Under the picture was a caption that read 'Meant To Be.'

The next page was a picture of Jack by himself, leaning against the railing overlooking the med bay with a huge grin on his face. Ianto had to laugh as he read the caption. There in Bella's handwriting were the words 'The Leader' but the word 'Sexy' had been added in what was obviously Jack's handwriting so that the final caption read 'The Sexy Leader.'

The next picture was of Ianto, laughter on his features along with a smile that was nearly hidden by the coffee cup in front of his face. This time, Jack's handwriting was the only one captioning the picture and Ianto shook his head in amusement as he read what his boyfriend had wrote. 'The Sexy Leader's Equally Sexy Teaboy Lover.'

Next was a picture of Bella, grinning mischievously at the camera. 'The Co-Conspirator' was written along the bottom in Bella's handwriting, with a 'Sexy' added in by Jack, making her 'The Sexy Co-Conspirator.'

After Bella came Owen. In his picture, Owen was leaned back in his chair, his feet propped up on his desk and a smirk across his face. Ianto laughed as he noted the absolute truth of the caption under Owen's picture, both Bella and Jack's handwriting appearing on the page. First was the caption added by Bella, 'The Eternal Five Year Old,' followed closely by Jack's addition of '…Who Is Obsessed With Sex…What Are They Teaching Kids These Days?'

Next up was Tosh, leaning against a wall with her arms wrapped around her stomach as she laughed delightedly at something, her eyes shining with joy and her face flushed prettily. Under her picture, Bella's handwriting read, 'The Innocent Among Us…How She Stays That Way Is Beyond Us.'

The last of the individual pages held a picture of Gwen. She was sitting at her desk staring at a picture of Rhys with a small smile on her face as she absently fingered her engagement ring. 'The Good Child' was written under the picture in Bella's handwriting and Ianto had to smile as he saw Jack's addition to the caption, 'We Love Her Despite The Guilt-Trips.'

After the individual pictures came pages filled with pictures of the team, sometimes all of them, sometimes just two or three of them, a few with Rhys in them as well, all of them capturing happy moments. Ianto smiled and laughed as he made his way through the photo album, remembering all of the moments captured within.

Closing the book, he gently set it down on his desk before standing and moving over to Bella. He pulled her into a hug and whispered a soft 'Thank you' into her hair, smiling as her felt her hug him back tightly. Gently pulling away from her, he crossed over to Jack, hugging him as well, before leaning up and kissing him. "Thank you," he murmured softly, "it's perfect."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The next morning, Ianto woke slowly and rolled over reaching for Jack, seeking his boyfriend's warmth, only to find cold sheets where the other man should have been. Blinking his eyes open slowly, Ianto looked around the room for a moment before glancing at Jack's side of the bed. There on Jack's pillow was a blank piece of paper, a note resting on top of it.

Picking up the note, Ianto quickly glanced at the back, a 'Y' and a five, before reading the words written on the front, his eyebrows shooting up at the lyrics.

'The taste of your skin
My body's givin' in
And I'm fallin' into you
As you let yourself go
To the edge of the world
And I'm fallin' into you
I'm fallin' into you'

Ianto glanced between the note in his hand and the paper lying on Jack's pillow for a moment before reaching over and putting the note on the bedside table and reaching for the paper. Turning it over, Ianto's eyes went wide and his breath stuttered in his chest. He had known Jack could draw, but this, this was…Ianto didn't even know how to describe it. It was a drawing of Ianto sleeping soundly in the bed he was in now, the covers down around his hips, one leg sticking out from under the covers, his hair mussed, and his lips still kiss-swollen. There were light marks on his neck and down over his chest; overall, he just looked thoroughly, completely, and well and truly shagged. Scrawled across the bottom in Jack's handwriting was one simple word, 'Perfection.'

Ianto swallowed thickly and blinked a bit before glancing at the door of the room. Tucking the drawing into the drawer of the bedside table, Ianto got up and dressed quickly before heading off in search of his lover.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

It was New Year's Eve, time to ring in another year once again. As midnight neared, Ianto started to fidget anxiously once more, wondering if maybe the drawing was the last of his gifts, but Jack hadn't said anything so he didn't think it was. But it had been nearly two full days since he had gotten the drawing the morning before and now he was starting to get a bit impatient.

Bella smiled as she watched Ianto get more and more anxious. Glancing down at her watch, she let her smile slide into a grin as she noticed that there was only five minutes left until midnight. Looking up, she caught Jack's eye and at his slight nod, she made her way over to where Ianto was talking with Tosh. Reaching out, she tapped on the Welshman's shoulder, watching as Jack slipped away from the corner of her eye.

Ianto turned around to see Bella grinning at him and holding a card out to him. A huge smile crossed his face as he took the card and opened it, quickly catching the note before it could flutter to the floor and reading what was written inside the card.

'Happy New Year's, Love. It's time for your last gift and for you to put together your notes. Here is your last note, the others are on your desk. You get your final gift once you've put the notes together. I love you, Ianto. Love, Jack'

Closing the card, Ianto looked at his final note. On the back there was another 'M' and the number one. Turning the paper over, Ianto read the note as he made his way toward his desk, not noticing as Bella followed close behind, nearly bouncing with excitement, and Owen, Tosh, Gwen and Rhys trailed after the giddy brunette in confusion.

'I cross my heart
And promise to
Give all I've got to give
To make all your dreams come true
In all the world
You'll never find
A love as true as mine'

Stopping in front of his desk, Ianto laid the final note down in front of the others, letter side up, and his eyes went wide as he took in the final results. There, spelled out on his desk, were two very simple words; 'MARRY ME.'

Hearing a throat clearing softly behind him, Ianto whirled around and his eyes got impossibly wider and he forgot how to breathe as he took in the sight of Jack down on one knee before him, an open ring box in his hands, and all of his love for Ianto showing on his face.

"Ianto, I love you more than I've ever loved anyone or anything before in my life. Will you make me eternally happy and marry me?" Jack asked as he stared up at his lover.

Ianto blinked at Jack in shock for a moment before throwing himself at the older man, pressing his lips to Jack's in a heated kiss as they tumbled to the floor, Jack landing on his back with Ianto on top of him. When they broke apart, both were panting for breath.

Jack grinned at Ianto as he touched his forehead to Ianto's. "Can I take that as a yes?"

Ianto grinned and chuckled as he pulled back so that he could see Jack properly once more. "Yes, you can take that as a yes," he said as he nodded, a huge grin on his face.

Ianto looked down as he felt Jack take his hand before cool metal slid over his ring finger. Holding his hand up in front of his face, he admired the gorgeous ring that now adorned his finger. It was a simple silver band with an eternity symbol engraved into it, and as he turned his hand around, there on the other side was an engraving that read ''M Byth,' which was Welsh for 'My Eternity.'

"Do you like it?" Jack asked, looking up at Ianto from his place on the floor.

Ianto looked down at his lover, his fiancé, beneath him and grinned once more. "I love it," he replied as he ducked down for a quick kiss before going back to admiring his new ring.

Jack just laid there and watched as Ianto admired the silver band on his finger, a look of pure happiness on his face.

Both men were jolted out of their thoughts as Bella, Tosh, and Gwen slammed into Ianto, knocking him over and ending with the five of them in a tangled pile on the floor. All three women were chattering excitedly, demanding to see the ring and congratulating the two.

Owen and Rhys watched from the side with amusement as the five on the floor didn't even bother trying to disentangle themselves as they started happily discussing wedding ideas, everyone laughing as Ianto shot down Jack's suggestion that the Welshman should wear a wedding dress, causing Jack to pout.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Well, what did you think? I hope you liked it! Originally, I hadn't planned on a Janto wedding, but I got that idea in my head for how Jack proposed and I couldn't help it, I had to write it! And I love how I had him propose, I think it was very unique. Let me know what you thought! And don't forget to vote for Torchwood At Twilight at the Children of Time Awards!
