Everything
Series 3 episode 4. Jack Harkness and Ianto Jones. Italics are a flashback. Words- 392
"I tell you everything" Ianto said, tears threatening to fall. Jack glanced at him, his face set and his eyes blank with pain.
*********************************************************************
Ianto and Jack sat at opposite sides of the disused Weevil cell, having gotten locked in during a rather spontaneous shag resulting in them having to sit and wait all night for Gwen to come into work in the morning and release them.
Ianto sat with his head in his hands until Jack threw a stray piece of gravel at him, hitting him on the shoulder. Ianto looked up, his eyes filled with annoyance.
"Fuck off Harkness" he muttered, resting his head on his hands again.
Jack grinned and threw another piece of gravel.
"Tell me something about yourself Ianto, something no one else knows, some frivolous little fact."
Ianto sighed before getting up and moving to sit on the concrete ledge on the other side of the cell, so that he wasn't facing Jack.
"When I have cheese on toast I have to have three slices of cheese, no more, no less. I still have nightmares about Lisa when I'm in bed alone at home. This year, I've spent more time at the Hub with you than at my apartment. The annoying little sticky notes you leave on the coffee machine are all piled up in my bedside draw. I bloody hate it when Owen calls me Teaboy. I hate it when you kiss my neck. I would shoot those bastard Weevils if I could. I'm scared that I'm going to die and that you'll forget about me. And I'm bloody sick to death of this cell!"
Jack smiled gently and moved to sit beside Ianto on the ledge. He put one hand around Ianto's waist and the other on his chest before leaning forward, closing his eyes and pressing his mouth against Ianto's neck, kissing it gently.
Ianto pulled away stiffly
"I don't like that" he muttered.
Jack smiled at him.
"I know."
*********************************************************************
Jack wanted to yell, so shout and tell Ianto everything about his past. But he knew it would scare Ianto, for him to know everything that Jack had done would make him scared, make him run. And Jack, selfish as he was, didn't want Ianto to run. So he stayed silent as Ianto stared at him, willing Jack to talk to him.
A/N So that's still a bit angsty but a tiny bit fluffier than the last chapter. To be fair it's not as if either Jack or Ianto are particularly happy go lucky characters themselves and I'm trying to be as close to the characters as they were in the series. Please review (:
