It seemed like the best idea to skip work altogether after discovering retcon in his blood, so that is exactly what Ianto did. Crawling back in to bed, he heaved the duvet up to his chin, then remembered he should probably wake up at some point or end up not being able to sleep that night, so he lazily stuck one arm out the bed, reaching for his phone.

Frowning as he noticed the count of missed calls again, he opened up the call list and checked who they were from: a new number that he didn't recognise. He sat up, pressing 'Dial' as he did so, and then waiting for the person on the other end to pick up.

After talking to a friendly guy called Bob for a few minutes, Ianto discovered that he had found Jaq and taken her to hospital, but she'd been discharged and was insisting he came to pick her up.

Pulling himself out of bed grumpily, he thanked Bob and invited him out for a drink that night. Bob accepted, making Ianto glad. He didn't have many friends, and Bob lived near and was nice. He was perfect buddy-material.

Ianto pulled on some tight jeans he couldn't really remember buying, faded in the knees as part of the design. He laughed a little as he pulled them on and appreciated his drunk-buying skills. He'd have to give up clothes shopping sober altogether.

He then raced down the stairs to his car, patting his pocket as he did to check for his keys. Shoving the keys in the ignition, he set off to the hospital to pick up his fiancée.

It was the 28th of November, the next day. Two days until the wedding, and Ianto still hadn't found a reason to leave Jaq. Aside from the whole 'I don't love you' thing.

Ianto had been trying to trigger the memories the retcon had taken from him, but to no avail. He eventually gave up, deciding that it must have been for a good reason.

Then it was the 29th. He'd had a text off Owen, asking if he'd left 'Bridezilla' as he put it.

Ianto had the flat to himself that night; Jaq was 'traditional' and didn't want them seeing each other before the wedding. He was thankful for that though, he could do with one night before the rest of his life. He checked that he had appropriate cufflinks to go with his suit, changing his mind about the shirt for it, settling on the deep red one that Jack had loved so much. He placed everything but the cufflinks on hangers and laid them down on the bed in the spare room.

It was six o'clock when he decided to go out. He didn't have enough friends to organise anything, so texted Bob asking him, sending Owen a similar text.

When he'd met up with Bob a few nights before, he'd discovered that he was in a band, and was playing on the day of Ianto's wedding. Ianto hated having to decline, Bob laughing at him. Bob had spent long enough with Jaq to realise how annoying she was, but felt Ianto should get himself out of it.

Meeting Owen and Bob at a pub down the road, they made a toast to knights in shining armour, making digs at Ianto.

Having to leave at the end of the night was a horrible feeling. Ianto knew that night's like these would be rare once he married Jaq: she hated him drinking, which was part of the reason why he did it, and she hated him 'not having enough time for her'.

If Ianto got his way, he'd never have enough time for her.


HEY GUYS! I FLUNKED AN ENGLISH EXAM TODAY, WOOP WOOP!

Seriously though, if I get higher than a D I'll be ecstatic.

I spent all weekend revising. I should be revising now actually, woops.

I have maths, history and science exams tomorrow.

I need to get an A in History, I need to. I'm working at a C and I've done a shit ton of revision, fingers crossed.

I'm really tired as I was up most of the night panicking over exams, so apologies if this doesn't make any sense.

I'd go to sleep now but I'd have to wake up in an hour for Glee.

I'll update again in a couple of days, probably focusing on Jack. I just wanted to speed it up so we get to the wedding faster.

Haven't fully decided on Jack's plan yet, but I promise drama, and lots of it. Probably some glitter too.

I wrote this while listening to Green Day and Adam Lambert. I less than three how weird I am.

I have to get back to levelling up my Eevee now on Pokemon.

REVIEW, PLEASE. I REVISE SO MUCH BETTER WHEN I'M HAPPY :D
