So this chapter takes place shortly after the first one. This is my take on how Echo fell in love with the most beautiful man alive, Narcissus. And the punishment that man got from the Godess Aphrodite.

2. Ianto and Jack

After losing most of his voice Ianto hid deep down in the archives. Ashamed of what he'd done he kept away from everyones gaze. In the darkest corners of the archives he watched the life in the hub go by, not able to make contact with others. First one in and last one out everyone knew he was there due to the always fresh coffe and the perfect order of the files. But they never saw him, only heard him when they spoke to lound down in the archives.

One day a new man got hired. A man so beautiful that the Gods must have been crazy to let him go. Darkblond hair that fell down in his face; sparkling blue eyes, always with a joke in them; a smile that could light up a room, and if the smile failed to do that his pearly white teeth did the job. And he had a body to die for. He covered it in losly fit jeans and shirt but everyone could see that there were some beautiful muscles behind all the fabric. He looked like a sculpture coming alive. And he knew it. Knew that he was irresistable for anyone. And he loved it. Flirting with anyone with a post code he went through the day taking nothing but his job seriously. And his name was Jack Harkness.

On Jacks first day Ianto saw him on the tour Owen gave his newes emloyee. And Ianto couldn't get enough of that handsome man. The smile on his lips; the curiosity in his eyes; the long delicate fingers; everything. Oh how he wanted to see Jacks eyes gaze into his own; wanted that smile to be meant for him; wanted to taste those lovely lips; wanted to hear them speak his name; wanted to feel those fingers ghost their way over his body; wanted to me touched; wanted to fell his breath agains his own skin. Oh how he wanted that man. But he couldn't bare himself to leave the shadows in the archives and let the other man know his worst secret and utter shame. Instead he followed Jack around every time the man came down to Iantos domain. And Jack knew that he wasn't alone down there. He never saw anyone, but he could always hear the soft steps behind him; hear the shallow breaths when he smiled. And that is how they worked until one day.

One day when Jack wandered through the windeling halls of the archives searching for the files he needed. But as he walked he got so lost in his own thoughts that he didn't know where he ended up. Once he snapped out of his thoughts he looked around, not knowing where he was. This was a part of the archives he'd never seen before. So he started to walk agian, hoping that he would find his way out. But he just went further and further down the unknown halls. And all the time he could hear the soft footsteps behind him.

"Hello?" Jack called out, hoping that the his unknown follower could help him.

"Hello" Ianto answered, happy to be spoken to.

"Can you help me? I'm lost."

"Lost," Ianto said moving a little closer but still in the shadows.

"Yes I am," Jack said a bit anoyed. "Anyone here?"

"Here."

"Who are you?" Jack was begining to lose his patient.

"You."

"Can you help me?"

"Me."

Jack was getting more and more anoyed that he couldn't get a straight answer from the soft voice he heard. Ianto on the other hand was happy that the man he'd spent so much time dreaming about finally talked to him. And Ianto did his best to help Jack. He found out that Jack followed his voice trying to find him, so Ianto moved closer to the way out knowing that Jack would thank him.

Slowly they moved their way through the archives, Jack asking questions and Ianto answering them in the same way. And when they finally found the door Ianto left the shadow he'd been hiding in and threw himself at Jack, hugging him with all of his worth. Jack looked down on the man and pushed him away before leaving. Ianto felt his heart break. During the months Jack had been there Ianto had fallen for him, and fallen hard. And when he found Jack lost and they talked he thought that the other man had fallen for him too. But the way he just walked out made Ianto feel like nothing. Slowly he made his way back to the darkest shadows not wanting anything to do with anyone. Just wallowing in his own heartache.

It didn't take long for the others to know that something was wrong with Ianto. Mainly they noticed because the lack of good coffe. But no one made any effort to find out what was wrong. Not untill Gwen acidently stumbled across some of the CCTV fotage from the archives the day that Jack got lost. She knew about Iantos crush on Jack. She had seen it in the work the young speachless man had made. And now she saw the awful way that Jack treated the man. She could feel the anger brew in her. Not only did Jack flirt with everything that crossed his path which she knew that Ianto saw so many times. No, this time Jack had not even acknowledged Iantos presence. So Gwen knew she had to do something about this. Do something to let Jack taste his own medicine. She thought about what do do for days before she got the perfect idea.

Without anyone knowing she made her way down the archives one day and retreived the special artifact she had in mind. And then she waited.

She didn't have to wait long. Soon Jack made his usual grand entrance and made his way down to the bathroom for a quick hair check. Gwen left her desk and followed him down. She quietly entered the bathroom and saw Jack filling the sink with water so that he could wash his face. He hadn't seen her yet. So as quiet as she could she moved up behind him and quickly sprayed him with the liquid in the bottle she had picked up earlier. Jack jumped as the liquid touched his skin but he didn't turn around. Because he had just layd eyes on the most beautiful person in the world. In the sink he could see perfet sparkling blue eyes stare back at him; a smile so beautiful it made his heart ache. He couldn't take his eyes off of it. He reached down to touch it but he just made contact with the sink. He let out a groan of frustration as he thought that the beautiful person had left him. He withdrew his hand ready to leave when he saw those eyes stare back at him again. Time and again he tried to touch it and every time the image disappeared only to come back again. So Jack stood there looking down in the sink, not able to leave beacuse that perfect being down there could leave without him ever seeing it again.

Gwen smiled as she left the bathroom, putting the flask with the pheromone spray in her pocket. She left Jack longing for something that he could never have, just like he had done with Ianto.
