Chapter 2
Ianto remember the first time he met Jack...
It was a Saturday morning and a removal van had pulled up outside the house opposite the Jones'. Ianto was playing in the garden with his cars and ran into his house.
"Mum. Mum!" he shouted, "new people. Can I go over?...pretty please!"
"Yes of course Ianto but remember and be polite."
"Yes mum."
Ianto ran out the house and over the road.
"Hello, I'm Ianto, Ianto Jones." He smiled up at the tall man and woman with a boy who looked around the same age as Ianto.
"Hello Ianto, I'm Mrs Harkness and this is my husband and our son, Jack."
"Hello Mr and Mrs Harkness, hello Jack." Ianto smiled.
"Hello Ianto." Jack smiled.
"Mrs Harkness, can Jack come over and play with me, please?" Ianto asked.
"Yes, of course but you better check with your mum first." She smiled
"Yes, I will, I'll be back in two minutes." Ianto said running back over to his house.
"MUM! MUM!" Ianto shouted through the house.
"Ianto I'm in here, there is no need to shout."
"Sorry mum, but I was wondering if Jack...the new boy could come round and play."
"Yes he can, I'll come out and meet the new family."
"Ok," Ianto ran back outside, his mum following behind him.
"Hello, I'm Emma Jones, Ianto's mum."
"Hello, I'm Lisa Harkness and this is my husband David Harkness."
"Nice to meet you, and Jack can come over if he wants, it will let you move in properly." Emma smiled.
"Thanks very much."
"Come on, lets go." Ianto said taking Jack's arm and running over to his house.
Jack and Ianto had been friends from the beginning, and rarely fell out.
Ianto and Tosh had finished cleaning and set the alarm and locked the shop up until tomorrow.
"My car is parked just around the corner," Ianto smiled.
"I'll see you tomorrow Tosh." Ianto smiled waving off the young woman, as she went the opposite way.
"No you won't it's my day off tomorrow, Owen's in though." Tosh shouted back laughing.
"Oh well, see you on Monday then."
"Owen Harper?" Jack asked.
"Yes, why?" Ianto looked at Jack.
"Oh nothing, I thought he wanted to go into medicine?" Jack asked.
"Yeah he is, he's studying at university to become a doctor, this is just a part time job."
They get to Ianto's car which was red Audi convertable.
"Nice car."
"Thanks." Ianto gets in the drivers seat and Jack gets in admiring the imaculate car. Ianto starts the engine and pulls away and drove to his flat which was a twenty minute drive away. Ianto turned on the radio. Jack didn't know what to say, he had found his best friend but now hardly knew the man. Ianto slammed the brakes on, as a car had pulled out in front of him.
"Fwcia Bant, Sach belowg!" He shouted, beeping the horn.
Jack knew when Ianto used Welsh was when he was swearing or didn't want anyone to know what he said.
"What did you call him?" Jack laughed.
"I don't want to say…" Ianto laughed and blushed.
Jack laughed , "I knew you swore, because you used Welsh."
"You know me too well." Ianto smiled.
Jack smiled but knew that last statement was a lie - yes he did know things about Ianto but not important things like if he loved him, like Jack loved him.
