A/N Back from London, having seen the amazing John Barrowman! He really was fantastic :D ! I hope many of you will have the chance to see him!

Just one little anecdote, that I found so good, not actually from the concert, but from the flight back; the captain introduced himself and I couldn't believe my ears; I flew back with Captain Jack! How great is that!

Thank you for reading and leaving comments! A special thank you to PCJanto, yelif and wanda1969 for reviewing my last chapter!

Lots of love to all my amazing readers!

And, as usual, I don't own anything :( ...

ENJOY!

Chapter 19

Four days had passed since John Hart's dramatic entrance in the life of Torchwood Cardiff's employees. The man had surprised them all by being civil and even pleasant, and being very professional. He generally stayed late and had dinner while working through paper-work.

On his fourth night, this was also the case, and he had told them that morning, that if one of them could stay late and help him, he would be able to leave the following morning. Jack and Owen had a meeting downtown, and although Tosh had offered to stay, they all knew that Ianto was the best-suited to stay, and it would be silly for them both to stay.

The clock struck five, and the others left the office one by one. Tosh was the last to leave, giving John a suspicious glance before whispering to Ianto.

'Do you want me to stay?'

'I'll be fine, Tosh, but thanks… He's behaved all week, and I'm sure he won't bite.' Ianto smiled at her.

Tosh smiled faintly at him, and gave him a peck on the cheek, before leaving, saying to herself 'I wouldn't be too sure about that…'

Ianto returned to Jack's office, where John was sitting, and pulled out some paperwork. After some time, Ianto looked up and noticed John looking at him. He suddenly felt slightly uncomfortable, and John noticed this.

'Oh, relax, Eye-candy, I was just thinking that you look about as hungry as I feel, that's all… Why don't we order something to eat?'

Ianto felt reassured and relaxed again, and smiled at John.

'Very good idea, sir, I'll go see to it…' he left Jack's office and went to his desk. What he didn't see, though, was John staring at his arse as he left.

About an hour later, the two men sat chatting, eating chicken Korma, both having a beer, on John's insistence.

About nine o'clock, and a few beers later, since John felt they had to celebrate the end of his stay and them having finished all the work on the inspection, Ianto suddenly realised that John had moved closer and closer. He felt a bit too warm, and didn't quite know where to turn, as John stretched passed him to get a document, and their hands brushed against each other.

Before Ianto knew what happened, he felt John Hart's lips pressed against his own, and being slightly inebriated and very surprised, he didn't react in any other way than return the kiss.

This was the moment when Jack stepped into his own office, and tore John away from his boyfriend, before hitting him in the exact same spot as he had some days before, shouting:

'What the hell do you think you're doing? You leave him alone!'

But this time John fought back. He gave Jack a kick, and threw himself towards his ex-lover, hitting him in the stomach with his head. Jack felt his air-supply being greatly diminished, and grabbed what he could, which was John's hair, as he also kicked him repeatedly in the shin.

Ianto was still too dazed to react, but realised after a few moments of fighting between the two men, what was happening.

As his mind registered everything, the two men were holding onto each other in quite a silly manner, trying to get in as many shots as possible, looking more like two little girls fighting in a school-yard, than the grown men they supposedly were.

'STOP IT! STOP IT RIGHT NOW!' Ianto shouted, and the two men stopped moving instantaneously, surprised by the interruption. Jack held on the lapel of John's shirt and one hand in the air, ready to strike John's face, and John held onto Jack's jumper, looking like he was about to head-butt him.

'Stop it, both of you!' Ianto reprimanded them, in a severe tone, but not shouting anymore. 'You're like little boys, and you know what? I'm not sure you're fighting over things that have happened before, or over me, but I'm leaving, and I suggest you come with me Jack, if you're interested in anything resembling a love life for the next few weeks, and you, Mr Hart, really should finish, and I hope to see you gone by morning.'

Both men relaxed and let go of each other, looking very ashamed of themselves.

'Sorry, Ianto,' they both murmured, and Jack took his coat that he had thrown on the groun when he came in, and made for the lift, bowing his head, and John collecting himself before sitting down and quickly gathering the final documents he needed.

'Good bye, Mr Hart,' Ianto said, in his professional manner, 'have a safe journey back to London.'

'It was nice meeting you, Ianto, good night.' John murmured in response. He wasn't used to being ordered about, and he definitely wasn't used to being turned down by a potential lover, and it was quite clear that Jack had won this round, and that he was the only person Ianto was going home with.

When Ianto and Jack came out to the square in front of their office building, they still hadn't uttered a word. Ianto walked towards Jack's car, as he realized that Jack had stopped. He turned around and looked at him.

'Jack?' he asked, prompting him to either say something or continue walking.

Jack didn't say anything, but just as Ianto was about to turn around and start walking again, he said quietly:

'Did you enjoy it? I mean, did you want it to happen?'

Ianto was about to get very angry, but then he saw the insecurity in his lover's eyes.

'What do you mean, Jack?'

'Did you want him to kiss you? Would you have let him continue if I hadn't come in?'

'No, Jack, of course not! He caught me by surprise, that's all...'

'It's just… I'm the only man you've been with, I just.. I wasn't sure you were content with this, I mean, our relationship has opened doors for you. You may think about certain possibilities now, that you didn't before, maybe you want to…'

Jack didn't finish, but Ianto understood.

'Oh, Jack… Of course I didn't want to try anything out with him, or any other man for that matter! You are my boyfriend, and you make me very happy! You're the only person I want! Man or woman! I love you, Jack!' Ianto said as he took Jack in his arms, and held him in a tight hug.

Jack relaxed in the embrace and as they parted they smiled at each other, and kissed before walking hand in hand to Jack's car.
