The music started and Jack opened his mouth and began to sing

Love, love changes everything
Hands and faces, earth and sky
Love, love changes everything
How you live and how you die

Love can make the summer fly
Or a night seem like a lifetime
Yes, love, love changes everything
Now I tremble at your name
Nothing in the world will ever be the same

Love, love changes everything
Days are longer, words mean more
Love, love changes everything
Pain is deeper than before

Love will turn your world around
And that world will last forever
Yes love, love changes everything
Brings you glory, brings you shame
Nothing in the world will ever be the same

Off into the world we go
Planning futures, shaping years
Love bursts in and suddenly
All our wisdom disappears

Love makes fools of everyone
All the rules we make are broken
Yes love, love changes everyone
Live or perish in its flame
Love will never, never let you be the same

Love will never, never let you be the same.

As Jack sang the laughter and noise died down in the pub. The whole place was silent; every person listened to the beautiful voice coming from the stage. As Jack hit the last note he looked directly at Ianto and blew him a kiss as he finished. Until Jack sat next to him and lifted a hand to wipe the tears from Iantos face he hadn't even realised he'd been crying.
"Oh Cariad" he said and lay his head on Jacks shoulder
"That was beautiful Jack," said Cassie
"Told you I could sing Yan," he said cuddling up to his lover

The whole pub was in uproar, they were clapping and cheering.
"I think you can safely say that people liked it," said Andrew
Jack actually went red.
After everyone had calmed down again, the karaoke continued. But after Jack, there was no contest. After an hour of people trying their best, Jack was announced the winner.

"Sing it again Jack" came the calls as he went up to collect his prize of £50. Before he could object the music started and a microphone was thrust into his hand. This time the DJ turned the karaoke off and just let Jack sing. The effect was amazing. Michael left the bar and came to stand behind Andrew, his hands resting on his shoulders.
"This is for my life partner Ianto," said Jack and began to sing.

All the time Jack sang he never took his eyes from Ianto. As he stepped off the stage and walked back to the table Ianto stood up and pulled him into his arms and kissed him. He pulled away and for the first time he noticed that everyone was watching them and smiling, they weren't talking or sniggering they were smiling. Ianto relaxed and walked back to the table with Jack in his arms.
"Jack that was fantastic" said Michael
"Thank you Michael" he couldn't wipe the smile from his face, he'd surprised Ianto with the fact that he could really sing. It was a fact that he liked to keep to himself, when he sang in the hub he was mucking around and doing an impression of singing in the shower. Ianto was extremely proud of him and couldn't stop hugging him. Once the competition was finished people started to drift home, but as they left everyone seemed to walk past the table and congratulate Jack on winning. As the last person left Michael locked the doors of the pub and joined them at the table. Jack got up to help himself to another coffee,
"Jack can you pour me one" called Ianto

As Jack sat down next to Ianto Andrew asked him something
"Jack Michael and I have been talking"
"Oh dear" said Jack
"We were wondering if you would do us the honour of singing at our reception"
"Oh no, no way" said Jack
"Jack please, we've been trying to find a different way of doing the first dance, as our wedding is not 'normal' as some would say, we wanted to do things a little differently" said Michael
"Before I agree, what would you want me to sing"?
"The song we first danced to together, its called 'time after time'" said Michael
"You do know it, don't you Jack?" said Andrew
"Well sort of, tell you what if you can give me a copy of it, let me listen to it a few times and I'll let you know"
"I'll get it now" said Michael and disappeared upstairs, he came back holding a cd and gave it to Jack
"Thanks, I'm not promising anything though ok, let me think about it" he said slipping the cd into his coat pocket
