Title: Day Off
Pairing: Jack/Ianto
Rating/Warning: I'm going to go with somewhere around PG 13/15 Overall. Basically, there are mentions of sex, but nothing explicitly so.
Summary: Chapter 5 - Jack Confronts Ianto (People tell me whether to do another chapter?)
Author's Notes: Well the last chapter was rather Angsty, sorry about that, but I promise, more Janto Fluff soon. This story in Unbeta'd. Reviews Make Me Happy xx
Disclaimer: Torchwood, Jack Harkness And Ianto Jones are property of BBC, otherwise I would keep Ianto in my bedroom.

Jack paced outside wondering what he'd say, wishing he hadn't been put in this situation. He was wishing for a hole to crawl in. Nothing had effected him quite like that Welshman. Eventually he put his key into the door and slowly walked in.

"Ianto?" He called out for him but was met with no reply.

He walked around and found Ianto asleep. All his worries seemed to wash away from him at that moment and he smiled the first genuine smile he had all day. He sat down by Ianto, holding his hand gently.

"Did you know you sleep talk?" He said more to himself, knowing Ianto was asleep.

Ianto jumped up suddenly and yelled. "Oh god!"

"What!?" Jack jumped up getting worried.

"I forgot that I did that when I get sick. What did I say? I'm sorry Jack, I'm sure I didn't mean it..." Ianto stopped when he caught a glimpse of Jack's face. He wasn't sure whether he saw glee or sorrow, perhaps a mix of both.

"What did I say Jack?" He asked again.

"You...you said that you loved me." Jack said hesitantly.

Ianto's eyes bulged as he realised what Jack had said. He felt the blood rush to his face as he blushed and saw that Jack had noticed. Shit.

"So it's true then?" Jack asked, making sure he knew right.

"Jack, I was going to tell you. It's just so hard to find a way to tell you."

"Damn it Ianto!"
"What did I do?"

"I can't die Yan. You realise that I'm only going to hurt both of us if we start falling for each other."

"Jack. I know that it hurts for you to fall in love. I understand if you don't fall for me. I can't help it though Jack. You've always been there for me. Hell, even at a time like this, when it's got to be so difficult. You're always here for me and I love you for it."

Jack stood there, unable to say anything. He didn't know what he'd say even if he could. The silence in the room slowly became uncomfortable. Ianto eventually couldn't take it anymore.

"Say something."
"Yan...why didn't you say something to me? Of all the ways to find out."

"You think it's easy to just come right out and say that?"

"I guess not."
Silence entered the room again and Ianto stood up and turned away from Jack, not ready for what he'd say next. He felt Jack's arm wrap around his waist.

"Jack?"
"Do you know what Owen said to me today?"

"Enlighten me."

"He told me you were a wreck when I left."
Ianto felt his blush rise again and wanted to hide. Why were all the things he wasn't ready for Jack to know rising to the surface?

"Want to know a secret?"

"Okay." Ianto said hesitantly.

"I can't last a day without you. How do you think I went while I was gone?"

Ianto turned at looked into Jack's eyes trying to comprehend what he was saying.

"Jack, I know you didn't want to leave."

"I can't leave you again Yan. Owen opened my eyes today. He told me you loved me and he told me that if I looked deep down I'd find how I feel about you. Do you know what I found?"

Ianto couldn't speak anymore, he just shook his head.

"Lust, god the lust." He chuckled, "But mostly, I found love. I didn't want to admit it and I know it's going to hurt so much in the end. I love you Ianto Jones."

Ianto felt tears prick at his eyes and kissed Jack passionately, letting out all his feelings into the kiss. They stood there, minutes passing them. Eventually they stopped, out of breath.

"Owen helped you with all this?"

"Yes. Oh and don't get angry. He messed with your Coffee machine."

"Oh I'm going to get him."

Jack chuckled and took Ianto back to lie down. He stayed with him all night, feeling safe in each others arms.

Okay so I was wondering, Did people want me to do one more chapter, about Ianto's revenge on Owen? Please review and let me know what you think.
