It was another rainy day in Cardiff. Ianto hadn't been at work for a week, though he knew when he asked for a month off, that he wasn't going to be over Jack in that small period of time, but he also knew that he had to try.
The team had been informed of Ianto's temporarily leave and had taken it well, but now they were starting to get worried. In only a week Jack had gone from being his happy cheerful self, to being depressed and moody, and just that fact alone told Tosh that something was wrong.
"Jack?"
"Yeah Tosh?"
"Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, why?"
"You've seemed a little down these past few days."
"I've had a lot to think about."
"Ianto?"
"What?"
"Ianto? He's the one you're thinking about right?"
"Among other things."
"He told you didn't he?"
"What?"
"Ianto told you, that he's in love with you."
"How did you know that?"
"Come on Jack, I'm his best friend. He tells me everything."
"Have you talked to him?"
"Since he left? Yeah I talk to him every day."
"How is he?"
"He's trying to get over you, but he's having a rough time."
"Do you think he would be mad if I went to see him?"
"Why would you…… Oh, you love him don't you?"
"I don't know what happened Tosh. One minute I was like, damn he's hot, and the next I was like, man I love this guy."
"Why didn't you tell him that?"
"I'm immortal Tosh!"
"So?"
"I told myself a long time ago, that I wasn't going to fall in love with anyone, cause I end up losing them."
"But isn't the fact that they are here now, isn't that all that matters?"
"Maybe, but Ianto's different. I've never felt this strongly about anyone before, and it scares me to death."
"Maybe you should tell someone else that."
"Yeah maybe. So do you think I'm going to get hit if I go over there tonight?"
"Maybe, but even if he slams the door in your face, tell him."
"I will."
