Since when do we have secrets

Since when do we have secrets?

Jack woke suddenly when a blast of wind forced his fringe from his head. He shivered at the force and groggily opened his eyes. He looked beside him to see Ianto wide eyed and shaking. He sat up quickly. This was serious.

'Yan?' He waved a hand in front of Ianto's face. Ianto jumped violently and turned to face Jack.

'You're here.' Was all he whispered as he pressed his lips against Jack's. Jack was confused. Where else would he have been? There was an urgency in Ianto's kisses that made Jack pull back.

'What? Of course I'm here love why wouldn't I be?' Ianto just shook his head and tried to kiss Jack again. Jack, however, gently pushed against Ianto's chest, preventing their lips from meeting. He noticed that Ianto was shaking again. 'Ianto, I need to know.' Ianto pulled away and swept his legs so he was sitting on the side of the bed.

'I can't tell you.' A tear slipped down his cheek as he stood. Jack realised he was dressed. Why would he be dressed in bed? Something wasn't right – that much he knew. Since when did he and Ianto keep secrets from each other?

'Can't?' Jack echoed, Ianto nodded and picked up his suit jacket. Jack looked down at the bed and Ianto slyly slipped the device into the his pocket without Jack knowing. 'What do you mean can't?' Ianto looked up sharply. There was a hint of pain in Jack's voice as he sat in his bed looking expectantly at Ianto.

'I just can't Jack, I'm sorry.' He made to leave the room but was held back by Jack reaching over the bed and placing a hand on his wrist.

'That's it? You just say 'I'm sorry Jack' and expect to walk out of here?' Ianto hung his head and Jack released his wrist. He looked down at the bed again to prevent Ianto seeing the pain in his eyes. He was still facing the bed when he spoke. 'Was it all a ploy then? A ploy to get me into bed again?' Ianto said nothing. 'Oh My God! It was wasn't it? Well you had me Ianto, you really had me going. I really did believe you. But guess what? I bet you didn't count on me caring did you? I bet you didn't bank on nearly dying – oh let me guess it was staged. You wanted to shag Jack Harkness but you wanted it to be real so you made him fall for you. You're sneaky you are Ianto, really sneaky.' Jack raised his gaze to meet Ianto's, who stood silently waiting by the door. 'But I did fall for you, I fell for you hard and now I've mucked up your plans because you realise that you can't just have some shag and walk away. You now have a man in love to contend with. Well sorry to have fucked things up Ianto but I do. I love you and I truly believed you loved me. But lovers tell each other things and here you are keeping secrets. So maybe you don't love me? After everything we went through – even if it was all fake for you - I thought you truly cared. So why did you do it? Was it some form of payback for making you make coffee? For making you clean? Was it revenge for what I did Lisa?' Jack had stepped out the bed by now and stood facing Ianto. Ianto blushed at Jack's naked body and gestured with his hand.

'Cover yourself Jack.' Jack's eyes widened.

'Cover myself? It's never been a problem before. It was never a problem when I was pounding into you was it?'

'It was different then.' Jack rolled his eyes. Why did this hurt so much? Why couldn't Ianto just tell him?

'Oh yeah, because then you didn't have any problems did you? Before, when I was pounding into you, you got what you wanted but now, now I'm asking questions and Ianto doesn't like it does he? Is poor Ianto sad? Is Ianto upset because Jack found out his oh so evil plan?'

'Shut up! Just shut up Jack! You have no idea what you're on about. It has nothing to do with Lisa and everything to do with us! Why can't you see that?' Ianto met Jack's gaze again. It was cold and Ianto realised Jack had put his defences up.

'Why can't you tell me?' Ianto just lowered his gaze and left the room.

'Fine just walk away as usual. Just don't get knocked down again because I won't be there for you.' Jack looked around the room willing the tears brimming his eyes not to fall but they did. He sat on the bed and held his head in his hands, letting the tears fall and decorate his floor. Why did he go off on one like that? He was hurt. Ianto had hurt him again and he had acted out of anger. Why didn't he give Ianto chance to tell him or at least explain why he couldn't tell him? He shook his head and looked around the room for some clothes. He found a clean shirt and trousers and put them on. He made his way up to his office to find his team entering the hub laughing. His eyes were still red so he simply stayed where he was. He looked down back at his team and saw Ianto laughing with them and joking around. Fresh tears slipped down his cheeks. He cursed and turned away, looking for braces. He found them and, tears still coming down his cheeks, struggled to fix them. He jumped when slim hands covered his own and fixed his braces to the back of his trousers. He turned and was shocked to see Gwen standing behind him. She didn't say anything about his eyes or tears but simply pulled him into a hug. He was glad and wrapped his arms around her, finally calming down.

'Want to talk about it?' Gwen asked as they pulled apart. Jack shook his head but stopped mid shake. It could help by talking to someone. He simply nodded and offered a weak smile.

'What about the team?' He asked, his voice hoarse from crying.

'I'll deal with them.' Gwen smiled encouragingly and left the office. 'Okay everyone. Jack is feeling a little unwell at the moment,' Gwen noticed Ianto look up sharply but refused to acknowledge him. The rest of the team – bar Gwen – looked at him as if expecting him to go up to Jack. 'So he told me to tell you what to do. Right, Tosh you need to continue with the research you were doing about why Kieran's rift suddenly dumped him here, Owen Jack wants you to do more tests on Kieran, blood, reactions you know the run down. Ianto,' everyone smiled as they thought Jack would be requiring him. 'Jack wants you to go through the tourist information centre and make it look more 'touristy' – his words – and go through the news and see if anymore random humans have been found.' Everyone frowned at her. Why didn't Jack want Ianto? 'I'm going to make a coffee and sort Jack out.' She pushed past them and shot Ianto a hard look. She had an inkling about what had happened. When she came back and no one had moved, she sighed. 'Come on! Jack's orders.' Everyone exchanged glances and went to do their research and various stuff they had to do. Gwen relaxed a little, a least they didn't question her. Her smile faded though as she made her way to the office and the crying Jack inside.

Jack finally left his office to find everyone playing basketball. Well, trying to anyway. Gwen had left him about an hour ago and he had finally felt relaxed enough to face his team – and Ianto. The team stopped playing as he came closer and he realised Ianto and Kieran were missing. Again. He cleared his throat and everyone looked at him.

'Where are Ianto and Kieran?' Everyone exchanged looks, as if they were unsure of whether to tell him or not. Jack felt his anger rise. 'I said where are Ianto and Kieran?'

'Boardroom.' They mumbled back. Jack dipped his head as a way of thanks and made his way to the boardroom. He stopped just outside of it when he heard they're voices.

'I can't tell him, at least not everything, I'm sorry.' That was Ianto and Jack felt angry again.

'But you have to – it's the only way I can go back.' Jack frowned, what was Kieran on about?

'Not according to what you told me. I went there last night and it happened, just like you told me.' Jack heard Ianto sigh.

'Tell Jack. He won't blame you – I need him to know because as long as he doesn't know, I'm stuck here.' Jack frowned.

'But how do I tell him?' Ianto sounded resigned.

'Use words.' Jack sniggered but stopped immediately when the door opened. 'Oh look Ianto, its Jack now tell him. Ooh the others are playing basketball…I like basketball.' Kieran wandered off, leaving Jack and Ianto staring at each other uncomfortably.

'Well' Ianto gestured to the chair. Jack look at him stonily as he sat down.

'Well, that was nice. You can tell a complete stranger something you can't tell your lover. Very nice indeed.' Ianto looked away. 'Why Ianto? Why can you tell every person accept from me? Since when have we had secrets?'

'It's because it concerns him.'

'Oh it concerns him so now he's the only one he can tell because it – and I quote – concerns him? That's bullshit Ianto and you know it. I tell you everything. Why can't you do the same for me?' Ianto sighed he knew he had lost.

'It's Kieran.' Jack rolled his eyes.

'I guessed that much.' He said. Ianto just smiled slightly.

'I found out where he came from – only I don't think it bodes well.' Jack leaned forwards ever so slightly, now he was interested.

'Oh yeah?'

'Yeah.' Jack waited.

'So?'

'So what?' Ianto looked slightly confused.

'Are you going to tell me?'

'Tell you what?' Jack almost sighed out of exasperation.

'Where Kieran came from?'

'Oh yea.' Jack waited. Nothing.

'So?'

'So?' Jack sighed out of frustration.

'Where did Kieran come from?' Ianto raised his eyes to meet Jack's gaze.

'My future.'

A/N So there you have it. One mystery from Kieran. Only is that all? What can't Ianto tell Jack? Has he told him everything? Review !

Potterfan89 – I updated! But I didn't tell you everything – that would just give the game away.

Hotflower901 – I want to know your question!!

LadyAnalyn – yes you're right but Ianto doesn't know how to use it so it goes a little wrong – to put it mildly…

Thanks to other reviwers and readers !
