Day Eleven
Ianto woke up and looked at the ceiling. It was warm and suffocating in the room and he could sleep anymore. He carefully rolled a lightly snoring Jack off him, he looked at the peacefully sleeping Jack next to him before getting up and pulling on a pair of sweat pants and a tee. Quietly he opened the back door and stepped out closing it after him. The air was cool but the sun sparkled on the water, the promise of a warm day ahead. He climbed up on the roof and sat cross-legged on the tin. Oh how his life had changed in the last few days. All he had wanted was a holiday and he'd got so much more out of it. How the hell was he going to tell Rhiannon. He pulled his phone out his pocket and looked at the screen 7am she'd be up making the kids pack ups and Johnny would be leaving for work any minute now. He wondered whether he should what would she say? How would she react? He didn't know if he could deal with losing the last member of his family. He loved his niece and nephew now he'd resigned himself to the prospect of never having children he wanted to see more of them. He scrolled down to her number in his phonebook and stared at it as if doing this would give him the answer he needed. It didn't. Oh sod it he thought he pressed the dial button on his phone.
"Hello, Jones household." He heard Rhi's voice down the phone.
"You know saying hello, Jones Household isn't going to distinguish your phone from more than 50% of the other household phones in Wales."
"Well thanks for that." She said sarcastically. "Nice way to start a conversation."
"Hi Rhi, its Ianto."
"Oh my estranged little brother how's life been treating you then?"
"Really well you?"
"Oh the usual its throwing sick children at me left right and centre Micas been off with chicken pox and then so was Sophie next door but her mum has to work early shifts so I've been looking after both of them. How's work?"
"It's not bad I'm away at the moment."
"Oh a holiday? Lucky you who you away with a new girlfriend or what?" Ianto cringed.
"Yeh, I'm away with some friends from work." How was he going to throw this into the conversation?
"I guess you're not abroad."
"No we're out on the canals for two weeks been away 10 days already it been great full of unexpected surprises. Really nice ones actually that's what I've called about actually."
"Oh really come on little bro spill."
"I'm kind of seeing someone."
"Oh Ianto that's brilliant, so what's she like?" he put his head on his hand.
"That's the thing Rhi she's...she's not a she." There was silence on the other end of the phone. "Rhi his names Jack he's...He's my boss." Still very quiet, Fuck shouldn't have done this over the phone. "Rhi please say something anything...breathe?"
"My God Ianto Jones are you telling me you've gone bender on me?"
"No...Well yes...It's not men it's just Jack. He's great Rhi you'll love him."
"Well from sounds you do." She sounded glad he felt better.
"I do. Rhi he's with me on holiday well he's asleep at the moment but he's great. I thought I'd better tell you because he's asked me to move in with him and I said yes and I thought in a couple of weeks I could bring him round for lunch or maybe we could just go out for coffee so you can meet him. If you can't it's fine I know you'll be busy with the kids."
"Ianto hunny your babbling and if course once your back from your break we shall meet for coffee then organise a family lunch." Ianto let out a sigh of relief. Then heard the back door bang shut and saw Jack standing looking at him.
"That's great Rhi, I'll call you when we get back and Thanks for understanding but I've got to go." He kept eye contact with Jack.
"I'm glad you told me Ianto, see you soon. Love you little brother."
"Yeh I love you too."
"Alright bye." She sounded sad about their conversation ending.
"Bye." Ianto closed his phone and slipped it into his pocket. Looking at Jack sheepishly. Jack didn't say anything but just looked at him carefully. "How long have you been stood out here?" Ianto asked with a small cough to clear his throat suddenly he felt nervous.
"How long have you been sat out here?"
"I asked first." Ianto said wide-eyed.
"At around 'He's great Rhi you'll love him.'" Ianto nodded, great that probably meant he'd heard before that and he just been hidden out of sight sitting.
"About an hour." Ianto said quietly. Jack smiled and climbed up next to him draping his arm around Iantos shoulders.
"You sat out here worrying?" Ianto nodded. "You should have woken me."
"No you looked to peaceful."
"I panicked when I woke up and you weren't there."
"Sorry I needed the air."
"It's alright so how's Rhiannon?" he asked casually.
"She can't wait to meet you." Ianto smiled and looked up into Jack eyes.
"You didn't have to tell her I didn't mind."
"Yes I did need to Jack and I know you minded." Jack smiled.
"Thank you."
"You don't need to thank me Jack. I love you and Rhi had to know that." Jack lent in and kissed Ianto softly.
"Come on back in your freezing."
"Will you help me warm up?" Jack grinned.
"I can think of a few ways to help."
"Good lets go inside." Ianto grinning kissing Jack before starting to move, Jack was still looking at Ianto carefully smiling happily. "What?" Ianto asked looking down at Jack.
"I could help you warm up out here." Ianto laughed and shook his head.
"No inside or no not at all!"
"You are no fun Mr Jones!"
"Now Captain Harkness you know that's not true!" Ianto carefully pulled it tee off and threw it at Jack stretching carefully pushing the band on his sweats down slightly before walking off and jumping carefully down and going back inside. Jack grinned looking at the warn fabric in his hands carefully raising it to his face and inhaling, it smelt purely of Ianto, the man he loved. He grinned at Iantos way of teasing him knowing even wearing shorts in public made him feel self conscious and although the only people who may have seen would be the people in the houses overlooking the canal or an early morning dog walker he knew it would have been hard for Ianto to do it. He grinned down at the fabric in his hand again. Maybe if it was a nice hot day Jack could persuade Ianto to strip off on deck again...maybe even with another stretch. He carefully the stood up and went back inside to waiting Ianto.
"You really didn't have to tell her." Jack said stroking down the side of Iantos face.
"I wanted too." Ianto kissed Jacks lips softly pulling back before pulling back.
"But you didn't have too." Jack purred.
"I wanted too." Ianto repeated kissing Jack softly again.
"I'm glad you told her because..." Jack broke off.
"I wanted too." Ianto once again softly pressed his lips to Jacks.
"You are teasing me."
"I wanted too." Kissing to softly before quickly pulling back again. Jack scowled.
"What's with the teasing?" Jack repeated and Ianto grinned.
"I wanted too."
"Ianto." Jack said sternly.
"You just had to get it into your head that this is all I want. Want and need Jack. Want and Need." Jack smiled.
"Well can I have a proper kiss now?"
"I want one too!" Jack laughed as Ianto pulled him to him there lips pressing together and gently parting.
"I want you too."Jack growled as he rolled on top of Ianto.
Several hours and two meals later the weather was beautifully hot. Jack had made a jug of margaritas; well they were on the second and they were having a ball! Ianto, Tosh and Jack lay happily out on the hot tin. Gwen sat up front on the phone with Rhys and Owen carefully drove them down the canal.
"It's so hot." Tosh purred as she pulled her cardigan off she had already changed into shorts and was now left in them and a vest top. She wriggled her toes poking Ianto in the side he groaned.
"You're lucky you're wearing less fabric!" he moaned.
"So is Jack!" Tosh giggled and Ianto looked up to see Jack pulling his t-shirt off.
"What it's hot and I'm still in my jeans!"
"I think the temperature just rose again." Tosh giggled.
"Ianto if you're hot take your shirt off." Ianto looked at Jack whose face showed no sign of him planning this but he was pretty sure he had. Ianto sat up and pulled his shirt off and Tosh smiled appreciatively.
"Oh I can die happy." She looked playfully at Ianto who blushed.
"You can look but don't touch that's mine." Jack laughed.
"Oh that's mean. It looks so hard and toned."
"Yeh alright you two, you can stop teasing me now!" Ianto said putting his shirt under his head. Tosh smiled.
"I'm not teasing Ianto you're...your gorgeous."
"That he is." Jack agreed
"And so is he so gawp at him, he likes it!" Ianto said quickly. Tosh looked between the two torsos considering it.
"I think I prefer lighter skin tones." She said seriously focusing back on Ianto who sighed.
"That's just great." He breathed.
"I know something that's really gunna oil your rifle."
"Never ever use that again ever in any circumstance." Owen said shivering.
"If you do I'm going to withhold all sexual experiences from you for at least a week, no at least two!" Ianto added. They were in the kitchen washing up from lunch, they'd left it till the evening because it had been such a beautiful day.
"What we used to say it all the time!"
"Yeh right!" Owen scoffed.
"We did!" Owen shook his head.
"No self respecting man would say that."
"I never said they were self respecting." Jack said seriously.
"Well I'm glad that washing ups done." Ianto said throwing down his tea towel in an obvious attempt to change the weird subject of conversation. "I'm going to grab a beer and set up the BBQ." He looked between Jack and Owen before shaking his head and walking outside. Owen looked at Jack with a raised eyebrow.
"What's up with Tea-Boy?"
"He's told his sister about us, about me. He's arranged for us to meet sometime, not sure when, rift permitting and all that but he didn't tell he that. Obviously."
"It's getting serious. Don't think he's having second thoughts do you?"
"No I'm sure he's fine. I'll talk to him later."
"Yeh alright just actually talk to him no...You know I don't want to hear it, I'm scarred as it is!" Owen scooped a beer up off the table and headed outside.
"It's alright Owen we'll keep it down." Jack called after him before grabbing the meat out the fridge and heading outside to help Ianto with the dinner.
After filling up on burgers and sausages the group layout with beers and started to tell stories.
"I'll tell you a story." Jack said grinning. They all looked horrified. "Hey it's not bad in fact it's not even that interesting!"
"Alright then tell us." Gwen said leaning back.
"Ok so when I was in the RAF we used to have firework displays on the 5th of November, you know for the public we used to raise money for charity. Anyway one year before bonfire night the guys thought it'd be a great idea to have our own private fireworks. So they did. Later on in the month our stores man wondered where all the out of date flares had gone. You see this then went into a full investigation and they found out what happened and because out of date flares cost so much money to dispose of we started every fireworks night with them because once they are used for that they count as domestic rubbish and we didn't have to pay for disposal!" Tosh and Owen Laughed.
"Just finding your way around government legislation and bin rules!" Owen said sarcastically.
"Told you it wasn't interesting." Ianto looked at him and shook his head."What?"
"You know I can imagine Jack was the kid that got left in the entrance hall of one of those big toy stores and is told directly by his parents 'do not move one inch we will be back in a minute' whilst they run up to whatever floor they need to get his present." The others looked at Ianto dubiously. "Bare with me, as soon as they get to the escalator he'd then go up to the lady on the front desk and look up at the woman with a big sad look on his face and say 'I can't find my mummy and daddy.' At which point the lady will start to gush, pick him up, put him on a high stool and give him a lolly-pop and then make an announcement for his parents to come to the ground floor! They then rush down stairs and the come up to him and say 'we told you not to move!' To which he would proudly smile at them hold out the lolly and go 'I got a lolly!'" The others fell about laughing and Jack smiled happily.
"Great thing is the technique still works!" Ianto looked at him confused Jack widened his eyes, looked sad at Ianto, and said "Ianto I love you and want to go to bed." Ianto laughed.
"Yeh it still works! Night guys." He said standing up and taking Jacks hand. They started to walk off when Gwen called out.
"Jack did you really do that?" he laughed.
"Didn't you?"
"No!" she laughed.
"Oh Gwen you haven't lived!" Owen teased.
"You mean you've conned a toy store attendant into giving you sweets?" Gwen said to Owen.
"I don't know about Owen but I know Ianto has conned people into giving him sweets." Jack said grinning and Ianto tutted shaking his head.
"Bed." He muttered and Jack followed him gratefully.
Once carefully snuggled up in bed Jack looked at Ianto smiling.
"What?"
"You're not having second thoughts about me meeting your sister are you?" Ianto shook his head. Smiling into Jacks eyes.
"No, of course not."
"Do you really think she'll like me?" Ianto looked at Jack again.
"Are you worrying about what's she's going to think of you?" Ianto smiled widely.
"No I just want her to like me."
"Everyone likes you."
"Yeh until they get to know me." Jack said quietly.
"You're being stupid. You gorgeous hunk of a man your being bloody ridiculous!" Ianto looked at Jack sternly, "Stop worrying if you don't want to meet her, its fine Jack, I assumed you'd want too I'm sorry." Jacks eyes widened in horror.
"No I want to. It's fine I just thought you were having doubts."
"No Jack I just know you'll fit in and the kids will love you and you'll have family when I'm gone. I just want them to know you. Know how happy I am, how happy I am with you and I think you will be happier knowing that I loved you enough to tell my only family."
"Don't talk like that."
"But it's true Jack. You isolate yourself and I won't let you do it anymore. I won't and I want to know that when I'm gone you will look at Mica and David and see them as your family." Jack looked at Ianto his lip almost quivering. "Because anyone who knows you has lived a better life Jack because of you I have lived a better life." Tears fell from Iantos eyes. "and I won't hide that anymore." Jack looked at Ianto. Looked at the man he loved.
"When am I going to meet her?" Ianto smiled through his tears.
"As soon as I can arrange it."
"You're all the family I need Ianto."
"I know but I want to share you with the rest of mine." Jack kissed Ianto deeply.
"Thank you." He whispered leaning his forehead on Iantos.
"I love you Jack. Just go with it." They laughed.
"I think I'm going to have too and I love you too."
