Jack
The confined space of the boys changing room smelled like stale sweat and dirt. It was packed with about 30 rowdy teenagers, who at this moment were changing back into their school uniform after a rather severe hour of rugby. Jack joked along with the rest of them as he slipped out of his shorts and into his dark grey trousers. The noise dulled into a low murmur after a while, as the boys finished changing and headed out of the stuffy room to wait for the bell in the fresh air. Soon enough, there were only a handful of them left. Jack glanced around the room as he forced his kit back into his bag, Ianto was in a corner of the room and he seemed to be looking for something. Jack watched as Ianto searched frantically through his bags before spotting something on the floor. This must've been what he had lost because Ianto rushed to swoop down and grab it, catching sight of Jack on the way back up. He flicked his eyes away so fast that Jack wasn't sure if Ianto realised that he had been watching, but he heard Ianto curse under his breath. Jack gathered his bags and strolled past Ianto, patting him on the shoulder on his way out. "See you in form" He said casually.
"See you Jack" Was Ianto's monotonous response.
Jack walked outside and let the cool air wash over his face. He breathed it in slowly and then went to stand with his friends. The girls had left their changing rooms too, so there were quite a few people just milling about, but not for very long as the bell rang, signalling form time. Jack and with the rest of the crowd shuffled away, their numbers depleting as people separated to go to their different form rooms. Form time at the end of the day was only 10 minutes, basically just so that the school could make sure no one had disappeared during the last lesson.
They sat at their normal table in form and chatted while waiting for that final bell to ring. After about five minutes, Jack realised that he'd left his coat in the changing room. How could I forget my coat? He asked himself in shock. Jack would just have to go and get it when the bell went. He noticed that Ianto still hadn't arrived, which was strange, because Ianto was never one to be late. Jack was sure that Ianto had been fully clothed when he left him in the changing room, so what's taking him so long?
"Are you walking home today Jack?" Owen asked. Him and Jack usually walked together, as their houses were in the same direction; Gwen and a few others normally walked that way too.
"Start without me," Jack answered "I left my coat in the changing room, I should be able to catch you guys up." He smiled and stood up. Jack only noticed that his concern for Ianto had been growing when the bell rang and he still hadn't turned up.
The rest of them left and Jack headed back across the school to the PE block, hoping that no one had taken his coat. He walked through the door to the changing room and saw, with relief, his coat. Jack smiled and walked over to grab it but stopped suddenly when he saw someone move in the corner of his eye; it was Ianto.
