Tonight, Tomorrow…... Forever?

Tonight I am without you, the raindrops are falling, and the candle light is burning. For you, I will be waiting. If all of the days are turn to night, and if all of our dreams are lies tonight. The stars can all fall, and everything turns to grey… I will stay!

Prior information, Ianto took some days off for the holydays and is currently staying at his sister's. Jack is at the hub and had promised to let him be at least for some days. The following is a series of text messages I will try my best since it is the first time I do texting and I do not want to copy anyone.

"Hey you awake?" –The blipping of his PDA woke up Ianto.

"I am now." –His sleeping eyes tried to focus on his phone while typing.

"How are you?"

"I think I am getting the flu, the kids are sick, so I might… Is it busy or just like always." – He looked at the clock it was barely nine o' clock.

"A bit… I have not had breakfast."

"Why?" –Ianto turned around on bed, one day and they were already crumbling. The first thing Jack had said before leaving was: "Don't worry; we can survive a day or two without you."

"Owen tried to do make coffee, and now I am nauseas. The girls got breakfast form a café near Toshiko house."

"If it is the one I think you should not eat it." –He could not help but smile.

"Well now it is too late, I may die you know."

"Oh, now you are making me feel guilty. I will pack my things and go back."

"Well, I am not pushing you or anything that would be your own decision." –HE was now sitting on bed about to get up, trying to hold back a laugh. He could just see Jack child like face expression.

"I got to go the rift is calling."

"Oh, OK…Bye" – he tried his best to hide his disappointment.

"Yeah, bye." -Ianto stare at phone for a little while more, he did not why but somehow he hoped for a better farewell then just a simple bye, but knowing Jack, he knew that most of times he was shouting at the stars.

"Hello, how you been?" –Ianto was sitting on the park watching the kids play; they had insisted on going out, even thou they were still a bit sick. His sister had packed snack and water so they would not bother Ianto with buying stuff. After two days without having received any more messages, he almost got out of the house without his phone. The buzzing of it and the message made him smile.

"Oh, I am good. Missing work." –He instantly regretted the last word maybe Jack would get the wrong idea.

"How are the kids, did you get sick?"

"Nah, just a sore throat."

"Taking medicine?"

"Don't need it."

"I am tired. We haven't had a rest the rift has been going on and off. Oh, we got two more weevils; girls Janet won't be so lonely anymore."

"Great now I have two more cages to clean."

"Yeah sorry about that, but is for research, you know."

"Yeah I know… I got to go, I have to take the kids home for dinner."

"Yeah sure, bye…" –Again a simple bye.

"Yeah bye…"

"I miss you Ian." – Now that was rude he did not know what to say. He tough of calling back but maybe it would seem too rush, he put himself together, and type.

"I miss you too, Jack."

"Right… Bye."

"Hi, morning… When are coming back?" –Ianto was coming out of the bathroom when he heard the phone ring.

"Johnny is taking me, we are leaving after breakfast."

"Ok be careful, is raining!"

"Really? Then I guess it is good that I know how to swim." –I had been raining all night and it was still pouring like hell.

"Right, but you are not mad aren't you?"

"No, it is just that I have no control about the weather… Sucks!"

Jack did not reply.

"Hey I am joking here"

"Yeah I know, Owen was saying something, sorry. Just be careful on your way back."

"I am not the one driving, and neither is Captain Jack so I guess I would be safe."

"You wish I was, I bet."

"Right, sorry you attached to much ego to your last message it took some time to download."

"I meant to do that… See you soon Ian."

"I will call you when I get there."

"Hey you home yet?"

"Barely getting in, are you spying on me?"

"I am still at the hub if that is what you implied."

"I am taking the rest of the day if you don't mind. I need to clean and rest, I miss my bed."

"Yeah sure, we are not that busy here so… Take the day, see you tomorrow."

"Bye Jack."

He did not get a replied so he put his phone in top of the kitchen table and started to brew some water for tea. He went in to the room and looked for clean clothes. He was about to go in the bathroom when the phone rang.

"They gave me the day off can I go over?"

"Yeah, sure. I have nothing to eat thou."

"Then I am glad that I stop and bought food on my way over."

"You are at the door aren't you?" –He typed walking towards the door.

"Yes, how else could I act as prince charming?"
