"Doctor, can we talk?" Jack said when he found his friend.

"Yes, of course, what's up?"

Jack looked at his friend and smiled. They knew each other for a very long time now and it was very difficult try lie. Maybe the Doctor didn't exactly lied to Jack, about Ianto, but the captain knew his friend hadn't been sincere with him.

"You already know what I want to say." The Doctor also smiled, of course he knew. "Please, tell me."

A moment of silence filled the room. Everyone was doing something, so they were alone on the Hub. Martha and Mickey were on his anniversary, Gwen was investigating something on the mall and Rhys was getting some new computers for the team. The new doctor of Torchwood three was doing some work in the hospital and Ianto was getting some rest.

"What do you want to know?"

"Doctor, please…" Both of them smiled and a moment after that the Doctor sat on the sofa and looked at the Captain. "Ianto was dead, dead forever and know he is here. I don't have to ask you, but do you know how the hell did he come back?"

The Doctor was still smiling but said nothing for a moment.

"Why do you want to know it? He's fine, he's alive and he's with you. Why is so important for you to know about it."

"Because Ianto needs to know and I need too."

The Doctor sighed.

"I had to do it. Everything was wrong, he didn't deserve to die, not just because he loved you." The Doctor looked away. The last months had been really hard for all of them, but above all, for Jack. The Captain had lost so much; he was a good man, working for a better world and everything also ended in a very nasty way for him. "What's so wrong about it?"

"Come on Doctor, you know what it is right or wrong. Why did you do it. In the old times, you wouldn't something like, what happened to you?" Jack looked at the Doctor, there was something really different on his friend's face, but the Captain, didn't know what it was.

"I told you, it was wrong." Jack's eyes on him forced the Doctor to keep talking. "Jack, you know me, you know my life."

"That's exactly why I don't understand."

"Couldn't you let it go? Ianto's fine." The Doctor stopped talking. He was lying once again. He had lied to everyone, because it was easier for him, not being himself, trying to think that the universe was fine, that people didn't die, that they didn't sacrifice themselves for him. Everything was complicated and he didn't like it at all. "I had to do something."

"Sorry but I don't get it." Jack didn't recognise his friend on that mad that was talking to him.

"So many terrible things had happened lately but I didn't expect to see anything happening to you." Jack smiled to his friend. At least he could see that the Doctor really cared for him. "I wasn't here for you when you most needed me, I don't know why… well I know why."

"Do I scare you? Are you afraid of being next to me? I thought we were OK since I'm with Ianto and you… Sorry I didn't meant to say it."

"It's fine, I'm OK with Rose. The thing is that I failed you, I failed the entire human race. And now I'm trying to do something good for my best friend."

"Best friend? Oh my God, Doctor, you're a real mess. What I still don't understand is how you brought him back. I've seen a lot of things, well, I though I had just seen everything. But how did you bring Ianto back, he had been dead for a while." The Doctor didn't say a word. "You're not going to tell me about it, are you?" The Doctor kept being silently. "I get it, The Doctor and his secrets."

"Jack…" I voice came from Jack's bedroom made him stop talking with the Doctor. "Jack." Ianto appeared at the door looking for Jack.

"What are you doing up? You should be resting." Jack got up and went to the bedroom. The Captain embraced Ianto, he hadn't said a word after seeing his sister. "How do you feel?"

"I don't know. It's weird. I've seen my sister and I couldn't talk to her. She has to be really pissed off with me and I don't blame her. I was cruel to her."

Jack felt Ianto's body very light. The Captain took him back to the bed and sat close to him. Ianto embraced him very strongly.

"Your sister will be waiting for you. She needs you and she will be really please to see that her little brother is alive. Don't you think so?" Jack kissed Ianto on the lips and caressed his cheeks until his young lover smiled a little. "That's de Ianto I really love."

"Do you? Do you love me?"

Do I have to tell you again? Of course I love you and I want you to be OK. So when your ready, I'll go with you to see your sister." Ianto sighed. Jack was the man of his life, and his death, he was always there for him, even when he was dead, it seemed that Jack had been always waiting for him.

"I still think I don't deserve you." Ianto leaned his head on Jack's knees.

"Why do you say that?"

"You've had so many lovers on your life and you will have a lot more of them when I'm gone." Jack felt the sadness in Ianto's voice so he caressed his hair and came to his forehead to kiss it. "Were you with anyone when I was dead."

"Ianto…"

"Were you? It's just curiosity."

Jack kissed him again this time on the lips and started to touch his whole body. He didn't want to talk about it. He hadn't seen anyone but it was too hard to talk with him about him.

Ianto sighed, he couldn't help it. He loved the Captain and he loved when Jack touched him, when he kissed his lips, his neck and his whole body, Ianto loved his hands, his voice. Everything with the Captain was great but Ianto need a sincere answer from Jack.

"You know I'm not a jealous person." Jack smiled at him. "Well, you're right, I'm jealous, but I was dead, you were free, you could have been with someone else. Were you?"

Jack lean on the bed with both of his arms and look at the young agent, bit his lip and began to mess Ianto's hair up, like his young lover her a little puppy. He liked very much the scent of his hair and the feeling of his skin.

"OK, you win. No I wasn't with anyone."

"Is that true?"

"Yeah, it's true, I wasn't with anyone, I didn't want to. I didn't feel like doing it."

"Don't tell me you didn't want to have sex with anyone? I don't believe it, that's not you Captain." Jack laughed and lied on the bed. "Come on Captain, I know there were some people in your life, or at least in your sex life."

"There wasn't anyone I swear you." Ianto looked at the Captain, trying to get the truth in his eyes. "Why don't you believe me?" Jack caressed his face one more time. "You're the only one, Ianto, from a long time ago, You're the only one."
