Okay, I can't stand making you wait. You all love me, right? You are going to love me more after this… just saying.
Tosh implemented new rules. At quitting time, they all had to leave, then an hour after; the writer would return and meet with Ianto. So they all rested on their laurels all day, just waiting…and waiting. Ianto, who was still listening to his iPod, hadn't moved, but inside he was all butterflies.
The team left…leaving Ianto to his own devices. He thought a moment about if it was each of the team members.
"What if it really is Gwen…She's very pretty…she slept with Jack though and that's a new level of betrayal. I couldn't ever trust her after that. What about Owen. Pff. No way it's the king of the straight men we are talking about. Besides, he gets his jollies from pissing me off. Its times like this I just wish it were Tosh. Tosh is sweet. Tosh I could deal with. I think I'm going to be sick."
He went to the bathroom and looked in the mirror. He fluffed he hair and straightened his tie. He then bent down, got a drink of water from the tap, and when he straightened back up, Jack was behind him.
"So, you're really doing this huh?" Jack asked.
"Yep. I almost didn't, but you and Gwen…are you and Gwen-" Ianto started to ask.
"Uh yeah, actually. After her and you…you know…she came to me and we started talking and we've been in love with each other for a long while now…you understand don't you?" Jack tried to validate himself.
"Sure. Whatever. Maybe whoever this is, they will be the one. I don't need you anymore." Ianto spat with venom in his voice. He was still hurt, he loved Jack, he really did, but he meant it. He didn't need Jack anymore, because there was someone who loved him, and he was about to find out who.
"Okay…as long as we are okay…" Jack couldn't look him in the eye.
"We're fine Jack, just get out, I need to be in the Archives," he checked his watch "Damn it, 3 minutes ago."
He pushed past the Captain, his ex-lover, and rushed to the Archives. No one there yet. Perfect. Then a voice came from behind him.
"Hello my Ianto."
He spun around in shock when he heard the voice.
