Ianto in a coma
All characters belong to RTD and the BBC, if I owned them then Ianto would still be alive and made immortal.
Rating: M/M kissing and major swearing … well its Torchwood isn't it
Spoilers: Slight for series one

Chapter Nine – Ianto's back
As my lips touched his, I tried to concentrate on pouring my life force inside him, trying not to think about the fireworks exploding deep inside me as I did so. I reached up and put my hand in his hair for a moment, before pulling away. It had failed, I had failed. I held his hand and kissed it, sobbing again. I cradled his hand in my chest. Then I felt a hand on my leg. I opened my tear-filled eyes to find a pair of stunning, sea-blue eyes locked on mine. Ianto's eyes.
My eyes fluttered open, pulling me back to reality. I saw Jack, cradling my hand in his chest, sobbing. I knew in that moment his feelings for me were real, I wasn't imagining it. I also somehow knew that it was him who had saved me. His kiss. My heart broke for him, he thought he had failed. I glimpsed Owen in the background, and he nodded encouragingly. With effort, I managed to reach out to the Captain. Touch him.
"Ianto?" I whispered. I couldn't believe it, he was alive! He was back! I need to tell him how I feel. But not just yet. "Jack. I'm here." He said weakly, reaching out to me. I helped him to sit up, and then collapsed, sobbing with relief. He gently guided me into his arms. I let him, needing reassurance from him that he was really there.
I observed the private, intimate moment the two men were sharing. Unobserved, I slipped away. Jack and Ianto needed to talk, to hold on to each other and never let go. God, I think I'm spending too much time around Gwen. I'm beginning to sound like her.
I pulled Jack into my arms. He sat there, sobbing into my shirt for a few minutes before deciding to compose himself.
"Ianto. God, I thought I'd lost you"
"I'm here, Jack. I'm okay. You saved me"
"I put you in danger in the first place"
"No, Jack, you mustn't blame yourself. I'm here, aren't I? I'm back, Jack. You're not getting rid of me that easily."
"But you nearly weren't"
Deciding he needed real proof, I kissed him. I was now sure of his feelings towards me, but I still wanted him to say it. My lips moved against his, tenderly and lovingly. He responded for a few moments before pulling away.
"Ianto…I love you". He whispered. His declaration of love meant the whole world to me, and I whispered "Jack…I love you too"
Ianto said he loved me. Ianto loves me! I felt like a schoolgirl with a crush, but I didn't care. All I could think about was him. Ianto. How does he do this to me? I would quite happily give up my immortality to grow old and die with him, but as today has proved, immortality isn't always a bad thing.
We leant towards each other as one, and soon our hands were caressing faces and necks, and our tongues were touching in the most loving embrace I had ever experienced. This, I decided, was where I belonged. In the arms of my Captain.
That's it! I have some ideas for a sequel if people review… (hint hint!)
