I will protect you.

Jack was sleeping peacefully, unlike Ianto who was kicking and flapping his arms all over the place causing Jack to awaken from his slumber. "Yan, hey Yan wake up!" Jack said shaking him by the shoulders causing him to wake with a start and cling to Jack. "That's third time this week you've woken up from a nightmare, you really should talk about it Yan. It might help them go away." Jack said holding him close in his arms. "It's just where I'm standing in a graveyard alone and I look down there's you and everyone else looking up at me with your cold dead eyes. Then a weevil appears and starts tearing through everybody but it takes longer with you as if it knows how much I care about you, and...and no matter what I do I can't stop it!" Ianto cried hysterical. Jack hugged Ianto to his chest, hushing him trying to calm him down. "It's ok. Don't worry it will never happen. I Promise." Jack soothed.

After half and hour of trying to get Ianto to settle, he finally drifted off to sleep. He was still restless, but not as much, with Jack stroking his head every now and then as it seemed to calm him down. Jack lay Ianto down on his pillow and wrapped his arms around Ianto's middle and before he drifted off, he whispering in his ear, "I'll keep the nightmares away Ianto, I will save you, I will protect you." Then Jack fell asleep, unaware Ianto had heard every word and whispered back, barely audible, "And I will protect you too, Cariad!"
