Neenabluegirl: Really? You bought a jersey? Wow, I'm influencing people in subtle ways. I'm off to Cardiff in a few weeks to check out the Uni there... how long are you there for your spring break?
EriinR: Again, sorry about the major rugby screw up. I'm not well versed in the rules and regs of the game, I just watch it every now and again. *Blushes* Oh, one thing I would like to know. I've picked Ianto out as number 10... the research I did said that 10 was a fly half and I imagined that Ianto would be right for that position. Who is number 10 in real life?
DoctorWhoXTorchwood: You guessed right and it didn't stop them... just delayed them a bit.
proum: Glad to hear it!
Cherry-Anne Sponge: It wasn't completely wrecked ;]
katwinchester: I didn't want Gwen to be bashed, it's so easy to make her a target. Even though she and Jack did the dating thing he sees her as a friend only now, like a little sister.
Pooky1234: I know, I couldn't exactly name names for GT because I don't want to get into trouble here for breaking a disclaimer or using real person in a fanfic so I hinted at it in an earlier chapter. We know which side Ianto's on then don't we...
hotflower901: Yeah, David Davies is Ianto's nephew, Rhiannon's son and eldest child. Sorry for the confusion... and as for the rugby it's pretty intense in an aggressive way. That last scene with Ianto standing in the rain is something I doubt rugby players do. Shame.
deemama66: David is Rhi's son. Sorry I made you fall off your chair, if that happened last time then I gotta warn you for this time. Ianto takes charge then kinda freaks about it and Jack takes care of him.
Amethystbutterflys: I was thinking about those kinds of shoes today and my mind was wandering and I think I might turn what I imagined into a fic where either Jack or Ianto wears female f**k me shoes and insists the term be taken literally. The shower scene was interrupted but Jack's staying over....
Authors/Note: David is Ianto's nephew. In this chapter we learn a bit about Ianto's family, David learns about Ianto's relationship and Jack just gets to spoon. Sorry this little summary thing is so short. I'm off out in a bit so I'm doing this really rushed... I'm off to Gay Day at this youth group in Liverpool. I don't get out much and I thought I might as well be getting out and getting more comfortable with being bi. It's not really sunk in, I mean I've eyed up same sex a few times but it's slowly getting there. I know it isn't really a big deal but it feels like it to me. I was so nervous when I went last week (first time). Anyway I hope you enjoy this and you enjoy it enough to review! Make me grin and fall off my chair!
Chapter Twelve
"Rhi, it's me"
"Is he there?" she demanded sounding frantic
"Yeah"
"Oh thank god. I'll send Johnny round to pick him up"
"What happened Rhi?"
"Johnny and me, you see, we had a fight about David. His teacher told me he was dyslexic... oh" she sighed "I've been going out of my mind with worry. He ran off and I've been calling all of his friends trying to find him"
"He's fine. Just looks a little shaken up, do you want me to keep him for the night?"
"No, you'll be out with all your mates. Johnny's going to pick him up" she said
"I'm staying in tonight, the weather's rubbish. I don't mind looking after him and I'll bring him home tomorrow... besides, I think it might do him some good"
"Okay" she was slowly coming round to the idea "You'll talk to him, right, and tell him that I love him and Johnny does as well..."
"I will"
"Thanks Yan, congratulations on the game" she rung off and he returned to see Jack and his nephew staring holes into each other
"Alright. I've called your mom and you're staying over tonight but you have to go back tomorrow" he stated. Jack's eyes widened as he thought that the kid was Ianto's son
"Okay" David nodded his head "Thanks, Uncle Ianto"
As soon as he'd heard the word Uncle he'd never felt so relieved in all his life! Jack sank back on the couch as Ianto disappeared into the bedroom to quickly throw some clothes on "Who are you?"
He turned his attention to watching his lover's bedroom door to the voice that had just spoke to him, the kid was staring at him intently
"I'm your uncle's... friend" he explained bit wary about how much he could say to the kid "My name's Jack. What's your name?"
"David" he replied as he toed his trainers off
"Are you hungry?" Ianto asked them as he came out of his bedroom
"Starvin, I haven't had anything since lunch" he followed his uncle into the kitchen leaving Jack alone. He slinked off to get dressed properly so he could join them.
So much for a romantic evening celebrating, thought Ianto moodily, but then he looked down at his nephew and took it all back. He'd offered for David to stay because he had a feeling there was more to the story than what his big sister had told him
"I'm making pizza, get the cheese out" he ordered as he took out the pizza bases and laid them down on their trays. Ianto had planned to make a fancy Italian meal but now it seemed a little silly now that David would be joining them so pizza would have to do. David handed him two blocks of cheese before climbing onto one of the stools near the counter "Your mam said you ran off because your parents were fighting, want to talk about it?"
Jack came back just in time to hear Ianto asking about the fight and why David had run off from his home, he stayed back out of sight listening to the conversation... or lack of it. David bowed his head looking guilty and upset and kept quiet "I'm not angry and I'm not going to shout at you, I just want to know what happened" continued Ianto
"Mam and tad were fighting about me. Tad was going on about how I'd need to go to a special school and we didn't have the money. He was shouting at mam and I thought he was gonna hurt her so I shouted at him to leave her alone..."
"David, your tad didn't do anything to her did he? Or... or you?" he inquired suddenly worried about Johnny's behaviour. He'd had no idea if this was the first time or if this had happened before
"He was angry... and because I shouted he shoved me and called me stupid" he mumbled. Jack heard Ianto cross the room and pull his nephew into a hug
"You listen to me David Davies... you're not stupid. You're not the only one in this family whose dyslexic. I am and so was your grandtad and we both lived good lives, I went to university and got a degree and your grandtad owned his own business" he sighed "If your tad shoves you again or your mam I want you to tell me, okay? Don't worry about what will happen"
"I will, uncle Ianto, promise" he nodded. Jack decided to finally enter the kitchen, he was just in time for Ianto to start giving him orders to get the meal prepared
"I thought you were supposed to be cooking dinner for me" he grumbled
"David, go watch TV for a bit" he told his nephew. David scowled but did as he was told, Jack watched him go before looking back at his lover "I would have done" Ianto replied as he waved the knife he'd been using to expertly slice ham and bacon into smaller pieces "But things haven't gone to plan. Should I make it up to you?"
"You and me. Dinner, next friday... a proper date"
"A proper date, huh?" he leaned closer sneaking a soft kiss "I like the sound of that"
"Good..." they finished off the pizzas and put them both in the oven.
***
Dinner was surprisingly noisy, Ianto and Jack both spent most of the time talking to David about what he was doing at school and all his friends on the estate and what he wanted to be when he was older. Jack couldn't help but think it was all bitter sweet; despite his playboy attitudes he'd always wanted kids and this had just been a painful reminder that that was something he'd never have.
They watched TV until David yawned sleepily, and looked up sheepishly at his uncle, he tried to pretend that he wasn't tired but Ianto saw through it
"Time for bed" announced Ianto. He stood up to get the extra blankets from the cupboard while Jack quietly crept into his bedroom.
Together David and Ianto pulled the fold out couch into a bed and set up the blankets so the young boy could sleep there. David snuggled into the big cosy duvet as his uncle ruffled his hair "Get some sleep"
"Da nos, uncle Ianto. Ddiolch 'ch iawn lawer " he mumbled before closing his eyes.
Ianto checked everything was turned off then switched off the lights and went to see where Jack had disappeared to.
Jack was sitting on the bed waiting for him, he looked a little upset and Ianto briefly thought if he'd done something wrong. His mind flashed on all the times he'd been cornered in his life by upset women... then he mentally scoffed, if only Jack knew he was being compared to moody women! Thinking about it, Ianto couldn't remember if he'd done something wrong... surely he wasn't going to be told off for letting David stay. Jack had seemed ok with it.
"What?" he asked his American boyfriend as he began to get undressed for bed
"Do you ever think about the things you'll give up?"
"Give up? What do you mean? Girls? Hm, as much as I love them I'm more than happy to leave behind the monthly mood swings"
"Wait until you get a hag" mumbled Jack under his breathe with a roll of his eyes, before he turned back to his original conversation "I mean children, a family. Two guys can be together but it's so hard to have a family" he explained. Ianto turned down the blanket before sliding in and across to sit with his chest pressed against Jack's back
"Well when we get married we'll adopt" he said offhandedly and the both stiffened as it sunk in "I uhh... I mean..."
"Ianto" he whispered turning to face his lover "Is that what you want?"
"Some day. Not yet... I'm only getting to know you but that's always what I've wanted... just because I'm with you, just because I'm gay doesn't change that. It's what I want and if it's what you want too then we'll both work towards it"
"You are so perfect and wonderful" said Jack as he ran his hand up from his lover's cheek to slide through those soft strandes of hair
"I'm not" Ianto answered, his eyes flicking away
"You are" he nodded "You are to me"
"Are you coming to bed?"
"That's okay? I didn't want to just get into your bed"
"I like you getting into my bed. In fact if you don't get into bed I'll be very cross and then you'll see why I'm not perfect and wonderful"
"Hm, are you going bully me?" Jack teased. Ianto jumped up pulling Jack into his arms as they both laughed. He rolled Jack beneath him, still fully dressed, and pinned him down to the bed
"If it gets you out of those clothes then yeah I'll bully you" Ianto rubbed his groin against Jack's hip making the older man moan
"It's not nice to bully people" Jack told him despite how vocally he showed his enjoyment
"You're right. Should I be nice to you then?" he began to unfasten the buttons on Jack's shirt, moving down his body as he went.
"Really nice" he gasped as Ianto palmed him through his jeans
"Really nice?" repeated Ianto as his nimble fingers tugged the zip down, it echoed rather loudly in the room.
"Ohh, yes, please"
Ianto slowly jerked the fabric down over his lover's hip, his lips parted as he saw how aroused Jack was. It was all for him, hard and needy, Jack moaned his boyfriend's name desperate to get what he wanted "Ianto"
"Tell me what you want" demanded Ianto as he stroked Jack's erection
"Your mouth... oh god... stop doing that! I can't think" he cried, Ianto just smirked and ignored him
"I thought that was the point. So... you want my mouth on you"
"Yes! Yes! Don't make me beg!" Ianto pushed the jeans all the way down, off, before lowering his head. Jack slid his fingers through Ianto's short hair as the temperature rose, he pushed Jack's thigh giving himself more room to move.
The flamboyant American lifted his head, to look down at the brown haired man... angel... demon rising and falling between his legs, only to drop it back down on the bed. The visual of Ianto going down on him was too much "I'm gonna... fu... Ianto you're gonna make me..."
Ianto pulled off wiping saliva and pre-cum from his mouth and smirked hungrily down at Jack who was panting heavily with being denied orgasm "Not fair! You were supposed to be nice!" he growled at his Welsh lover.
His hungry smirk spread as Ianto hooked his fingers into the waistband of his shorts and slowly slid them down and off
"Oh I will be" he whispered into Jack's ear before reaching out to push the shirt that he was still wearing down his arms. Jack sat up to take his shirt off completely but Ianto quickly moved behind him and gestured for him to stop "Leave it on"
"But..."
"It's like the shirt you wore at the after party, you looked so fucking sexy in your suit... I just wanted to do this to you" his quiet yet deep timbre shivered down Jack's back. Ianto moved away from his ear and pressed a tentative kiss to the curve of his shoulder as his hands came down to cup Jack's balls and wrap around his erection.
Jack's eyes fluttered as his head tilted backwards, his shirt was bunched around his wrists and he had one hand reaching up into Ianto's hair and the other was tangled in the sheets, gripping for dear life
"Oh god" he gasped, he could feel Ianto's cock pressing against his cheek and he almost begged to be fucked. What the hell was happening? He was coming apart in the arms of a man who up until recently had been completely straight! This had never happened before, he'd never been so unravelled by someone so quickly and so effectively "Stop teasing me, I need to come"
"Then come" replied Ianto simply as he twisted on the upstroke and Jack lost it crying out, gripping his arms for dear life.
It was a sort of 'oh my God' moment that hit him rather forcefully. He was sat with Jack pretty much draped against him, he could feel warmth on his hand and all of a sudden he felt terrified! Jack came, I made it happen... I put him before me, Ianto told himself, I've never done that before.
Once Jack recovered he realised two things, that Ianto was deep in thought and he was still very hard. He turned in his lovers arms and carefully laid Ianto down, the Welshman was so distracted he didn't notice
"I enjoyed that" Ianto blinked at him in surprise
"Y-You did? Jack... I..."
"Shh, I'll take care of you" he whispered as he stared into those blue eyes that seemed so scared and confused "Do you want me to?"
"I put you before me, I've never done that... I didn't realise how selfish I've been!" Ianto's voice rose almost hysterically
"Shhh, it's okay! I liked how selfless you were, to me you've always been like that and that's something I really like about you" Jack stated before pressing a soft, open mouthed kiss to a bare shoulder. Ianto watched with wide eyes as Jack kissed a wandering path around his torso
"You do? Y-You think I'm selfless?" Jack arrived at his lover's navel and his tongue darted out teasing it, he dipped lower following his invisible trail. Jack skipped past the heavy erection, he easily pushed Ianto's thighs apart before lowering his head between them. Ianto couldn't help but mewl as his fingers shout out tangling in the sheets almost pulling them off the bed "Ohhh god"
It didn't take long for Jack to bring Ianto off, the younger man did his best to be quiet as he came because his nephew was in the next room. When Ianto recovered he pulled his boxer shorts back on and found Jack had done the same, he pulled Jack close and wrapped his arms around him effectively gluing Jack to his back.
Jack liked spooning with Ianto, this was the first time he'd done it, the night before he lay curled in Ianto's arms just feeling content, safe and where he belonged. Now he was holding his lover, giving him the comfort he'd received so lovingly
"I enjoyed today" he whispered slowly but Ianto was already dozing.
*
David woke early in the morning and looked round, it was early judging by the clock on the dvd player, so he crept from the couch and spotted Jack's coat and shoes still hanging up near the door
"He stayed over?" he mumbled to himself then began to wonder exactly where Jack had slept. Uncle Ianto didn't have a guest room and David had slept on the couch "So where the hell did Jack sleep?"
Creeping quietly to his uncle's room and opened the door, peering round the wood and saw Jack laying in bed with his uncle! Curled round his uncle the same way his tad curled round his mam! He wasn't sure what to do about it, David didn't really see anything wrong with it because his sister's friend had two mams but this was his uncle Ianto, his uncle was cool, and this didn't seem at all cool.
Standing there staring at them, while they slept, David tried to think of what to do about it. He didn't want to wake them up because then he'd feel embarrassed about being caught seeing them like this. In the end, just as Jack was starting to stir, he decided to pretend he hadn't seen anything and he'd tell his mam or his tad later when he got home. Having decided the best course of action he returned to the couch and pretended to be asleep.
Twenty minutes later he heard movement and promptly closed his eyes. Ianto and Jack were making their way quietly towards the door
"I wish I didn't have to go"
"I know, but I'm going to see you on friday. You work hard this week, get a lot of work done so Owen doesn't break in here again and I'll spoil you after dinner"
"Oh yeah?"
"Yeah" Ianto nodded "I really had fun this weekend"
"Me too. It's going to be weird not seeing you, especially since I've been around you so much the past few days"
"I know, baby"
"Baby? We on pet name terms now?" Jack teased him "So I have to start calling you honey or something?"
"Sorry, it was stupid" Ianto blushed, looking away. Jack tipped his chin getting Ianto's attention back on him
"Hey, it wasn't stupid. I think it's nice, you care about me... it's you showing affection, something I like a lot" Jack told him
"Really?"
"You shouldn't question it. You know what I like"
"I-I do?" Ianto couldn't help but feel nervous, butterflies were swarming round his stomach
"Of course you do. If you need any help figuring it out, then you should borrow this" Jack handed him a black flat box with a little clasp "I'll see you on friday"
"Bye" Ianto murmured before tentatively reaching out to cup his boyfriend's cheek and kiss him. Once Jack was gone Ianto padded back to bed to get some more sleep and to open the little flat box he'd been given. He was so focused on it he didn't notice that his nephew was wide awake and heard the whole thing.
It was tricky to get the box open. Ianto was fully settled back in bed by the time he managed to work the clasp enough to pry it open, the box split into two revealling two mirrors. Jack likes mirrors, thought Ianto feeling confused and then it hit him. He couldn't help but roll his eyes as a huge grin spread across his face. He flopped back in bed and pulled Jack's pillow into his arms.
