Chapter Three

He knew that Ianto was going to hate him for this but Jack couldn't let this go any further. The memories of them being together had been implanted into the young Welshman's mind. Jack pulled out the needle and stuck it into Ianto's neck.

All he could do was wait and Jack had no idea what to do if Ianto didn't want to come back with him.

He took of the dark suit jacket, undid the buttons of the burgundy waistcoat and slid the tie from around his neck.

The last thing he did was take of the polished shoes and he laid Ianto more comfortably on the bed. With that he sat on the chair watched and waited. There was nothing else he could do except pray that this amazing young man wanted to come back home and if it was all possible that the two of them could one day be more than work.

Ianto slowly awoke as his eyes opened he could see a shadow across from him. He sat up quickly looking for something to protect himself.

"Ianto it's Jack."

Ianto turned to look at his boss. He wasn't supposed to remember anything. It wasn't supposed to be like this.

"Jack what are you doing here?" Ianto replied.

"I…We didn't want to lose you. I know it's hard and you blame me. I was hoping one day you could forgive me." Jack looked down at his hands.

"Jack I don't know if I can do this anymore." Ianto sighed.

"Give us a chance we're there for you night and day and if you still can't deal then either I'll retcon you or I will bring you back here personally and hand you over."

Ianto stared at him. "Ok I'll try but things can't be the same as they were."

"No they can't we never going to let you feel like your invisible to us." Jack stood up walked over and held out his hand.

Ianto shook his head and took it. "Will they let me go?"

"I've sorted, well Torchwood has. Let's go home."

Echo wandered around the complex something was missing, someone was missing.

"Romeo." She whispered as blue eyed man appeared in her mind. Somehow she felt as if she could trust him, that she knew him.

Ianto lay in Jack's bed in the hub deep asleep. Jack stared down at him he couldn't get the kiss out of his mind. He never realised how deeply he wanted this young man and how deep he'd been hiding these feelings.

"Jack." Ianto shouted.

Jack was by his side in a moment. "Ianto." He reached out and touched the young Welshman.

Ianto opened his eyes; they were dark full of desire. Just for a moment Jack wondered what the dream had been about. It only last a moment because still half asleep he pulled Jack towards him and kissed him.
