Hey everyone!!! New chapter!! First of all, a million thanks to Hydrojen for beta'ing this.
Hope you're still liking this story, it's nearly ending now. Two more chapters and an epilogue more I guess (though it might change if I get a better idea)
For those following Season 2 Take 2, I'm sorry for taking so long. I'm still working on From Out Of The Rain. I promise I'll post it at the earliest.
Read and review. Your words make my day :)
"Doctor! Finally!" Jack exclaimed as he pulled the Time Lord into a hug. "Where is the antidote?" he asked urgently.
"Relax Captain, it's here," the Doctor replied, pulling out a tiny vial from his pocket, an affectionate smile lighting his face. He couldn't believe the change Jack had undergone. This man whose 'Hello's' were also counted as flirting at one time, didn't even care to ask the name of his beautiful companion. He hoped that Ianto Jones was worth his Captain's pains.
Fifteen minutes later, the antidote had been injected into Ianto's body and the Doctor started to leave. "See you around then, Captain. Your Mr. Jones should be conscious in three hours, at the maximum."
"Sure Doctor. By the way, this is?" asked the immortal, finally realising that the Doctor hadn't arrived alone.
"Captain Jack, meet Donna Noble."
"Nice to meet you. Sorry for not introducing myself before, was a bit busy with this Welshman," Jack apologised.
"Oh, it's ok. Nice to meet you too," replied Donna, accepting the Captain's stretched out hand.
----------------------XxX----------------------
Jack sat by Ianto's side, waiting for his lover to wake up. He gently ran his fingers through the Welshman's hair.
"You're going to be fine, I know that," he whispered. It had been two hours since the Doctor had injected the antidote into Ianto's body and the man was still unconscious. Jack put his arms around Ianto as he waited for a sign of consciousness from his lover.
Even though he'd been waiting for it, Jack couldn't help jumping in surprise when he felt the younger man's chest expand slightly.
"Yan?"
His lover smiled softly and uttered a weak "Hey."
"Are you feeling okay? Try to move, see if -" The immortal was cut off by a pair of lips that drew him into a tender kiss.
"I'm fine, and since I was able to lift my head and kiss you, I guess the antidote worked. Any more questions Captain?" Ianto asked with a cheeky grin pasted on his face. Jack shook his head and kissed the other man again. But he soon stopped the assault on the Welshman's mouth and started planting soft butterfly kisses on his jaw. Slowly and passionately, he moved towards the younger man's neck, taking his time to lick the sensitive spot at the nape of his neck. Ianto's moan was enough an award for the Captain as he moved lower, his fingers unbuttoning the Welshman's shirt.
"Jack... stop... we're still at the hub... Jack! Ahh... no..." Ianto panted, pushing Jack away half-heartedly.
"HARKNESS!!! Take the tea-boy home if you're so sex deprived, but spare us!" cried Owen as he entered the main hub only to be greeted by the sight of his boss ambushing the now fully conscious archivist.
"Oh no! That was sweet!" exclaimed John as the girls giggled and Ianto pushed Jack off himself and got up.
"Girls, and John, STOP GIGGLING! And don't give me that look Owen, you're the one who's got the bloody wrong timing."
"I've got a wrong timing?! Or is it the fact that you can't leave him alone even for a few minutes? Anyway, you'd better be off now. Ianto, you make your way to the autopsy bay, I'll give you a quick check," Owen ordered as he moved to the autopsy bay.
"Remember the dinner tonight, 8 PM sharp," Jack whispered into Ianto's ear as the latter followed Owen.
----------------------XxX----------------------
Ianto paced his living room nervously as he waited for Jack. He'd come home for some rest after Owen had said he was completely fine. Now, it was two minutes and forty six seconds before eight 'o' clock and he was walking around in his black suit, purple shirt and red tie, waiting for his lover. He was so engrossed in his thoughts about tonight's dinner that the sudden ringing of the doorbell made him jump in alarm.
"Hey, gorgeous," said Jack as he leant in to kiss Ianto's cheek as soon as the Welshman opened the door. Ianto couldn't utter a word as he admired Jack, who had, for a change, donned a suit as well; blue in colour, paired up with a white shirt.
"Ready to leave?" asked the captain.
"Uh... yeah, let's go," muttered Ianto as he walked out the door and locked it before accompanying Jack down the stairs.
Two hours later, Ianto found himself being led into the restaurant's garden. The place was not illuminated by any artificial lamps but the moon stood high in the sky and the stars twinkled with all their strength as Jack knelt down in front of Ianto.
"Ianto, I don't have words to express all that you make me feel. It's as if you make me complete. You can make me smile even after I've had a hell of a day chasing Weevils, you can calm me down with just a touch of your hand, you can make me go crazy by just a whisper. I won't say you're the first person I've loved in my life, 'cause that would be a lie but I can say that you're like no other person I've ever loved. And I want the world to know that. So here's exactly what I promised you. We're here under the night sky, the stars gazing at us. And I'm asking you, Ianto Jones, will you marry me?" The immortal pulled out a small black velvet box and flipped it open.
"Of course I will Jack," replied Ianto with tears in his eyes. Jack slid the platinum band onto his lover's ring finger and kissed him.
"I love you, Yan."
"Love you too, Jack."
Both of them stood there in each other's arms for what seemed like eternity. "We should go home," Ianto whispered.
"Yeah, we should," agreed Jack but stayed still.
"I don't wanna move."
"But we can't make love here; the restaurant people might have a problem with that."
----------------------XxX----------------------
Jack kissed Ianto softly as he pushed his lover onto the bed. His tongue explored every corner of Ianto's mouth while his fingers worked on the Welshman's shirt buttons slowly, their coats having been discarded in the living room itself.
Jack's lips planted feather soft kisses on Ianto's exposed chest as the younger man worked on removing his lover's shirt and trousers. Ianto let out a moan as Jack's cold tongue licked his left nipple until it was harder than possible. His cock too twitched under the immortal's ministrations.
"Jack... I'm close... I want you right now," he whispered, his voice hoarse with arousal. Realising his lover's need, Jack quickly reached for the drawer on the bedside table and got the lube out. Wetting his fingers liberally with the gel, he slowly pressed a single digit inside Ianto. He felt the Welshman buck up in response. Encouraged, he pushed in another finger while he adjusted himself to lie on top of his lover, kissing him as he prepared him. When he felt that it was enough and couldn't hold himself any longer, his own cock painfully hard, he pulled out his fingers. Ianto moaned into the kiss at the loss of warmth.
However, his discomfort was short-lived as Jack thrusted into him just a moment later. Ianto arched his back to give his lover better access.
"Harder..." he gasped as he moved his body up and down, not satisfied with Jack's achingly slow pace.
The Welshman's screams and moans as Jack's cock encountered his prostate were enough to bring the immortal to his climax. The two came together, shouting each other's name.

"You haven't still gone to check out that hotel Tosh suggested, have you?" asked Ianto as he came to the living room and sat next to Jack who was busy penning down the menu for the wedding dinner.
"No, I thought we could go there together today evening. It's our wedding not just mine, do you remember that?" teased Jack as he looked up from the list and put an arm around the younger man's shoulders.
"Would you let me forget?"
"Never," came the reply accompanied by a kiss on the cheek.
"You don't like the idea of the ceremony in a hotel ballroom, do you?" asked Ianto, realising the reason why Jack was putting this off.
"Yan, are you sure you weren't one of those Torchwood One's telepathic projects?"
"Jack, I'm asking seriously!"
"Well, I'm not too keen about it but if you want -"
"My tad owns a farmhouse an hour away from Glasgow, what do you think?"
"That's - that's so awesome Yan!"
"Glad you like the idea. We'll ask tad about it when we meet him tomorrow." He smiled as Jack cringed slightly at the mention of the next day's ordeal. "How's the list going? And what about the guest list?"
"Well, we haven't got too many people to invite; it's just the team, Martha, Mickey, John, your family, Alice and Steven, Doctor and Donna. That's it."
"Yeah, I guess. Now, we've got to set the invitation design, write our vows... Oh God, Jack! There's still so much to do!"
"Relax Yan, we'll manage," reassured Jack as he squeezed his fiancé's shoulder. "By the way, you also gotta meet Alice."
"Oh, fuck!"
