Ianto's Ipod

Chapter 2

Wake me up When September Ends

In the Archives Ianto was setting up his dock, the addition to his Ipod that Owen had given him as a late birthday present. It was funny to Ianto that not only did Owen forget his birthday but he went and asked Jack what to get him as well. The Welshman smirked and shook his head. That was a little over a year ago. Almost 2 weeks after his birthday Jack was seen running out of the Hub screaming at the top of his lungs for the Doctor.

The team members of Torchwood hadn't seen him since. Ianto had taken over the responsibility of running Torchwood 3, not as if he didn't do that already. Owen and Tosh had finally gotten over themselves and became a couple, while Ianto was happy for his friends he hated seeing them together when Jack had been gone all this time.

Summer has come and passed

The innocence can never last

Wake me up when September ends

As the song filled the room a bittersweet sense of calm came over Ianto. He knew Jack would be back, but there was no telling when or if Ianto would even still be alive when he returned.

All of a sudden Ianto began to feel funny, as if he was becoming transparent, he forgot what he was doing and what he was just thinking about. Beginning to become frightened Ianto held onto the counter were his ipod dock sat, and then as soon as it came it stopped, Jack had just left an hour ago and Ianto wondered when he would be back.

"I don't remember playing this song," thought Ianto. "Oh, well I must have dozed a bit and it switched songs."

Here comes the rain again

Falling from the stars

Left in my pain again

Becoming who we are

He walked out of the Archives still being able to hear the music as he climbed the stairs. No sooner than he had cleared the last step when a familiar blue jacket caught his eye, all else became a blur when the 51st century man ran to Ianto and caught him in a smothering hug, and a passionate kiss filled with longing, love, fear, and relief.

Not one to show his emotions openly with the other teammates around Ianto broke the kiss with a small smile at Jack saying, "Did you catch up to the Doctor?"

Jack's smile faltered for a moment before coming back full force, "Nope, but I'll catch up to him eventually."

"There is no reason to tell Ianto what happened, he doesn't remember it anyway. Besides I don't want him worrying about me," thought Jack as he bent his head once again to capture Ianto's lips in a kiss.

From across the room Owen looked over and saw Tosh watching the two men with a wistful smile on her face, feeling a sense of purpose he stood and forcibly crossed the hub and pulling her out of her seat and flush against him, not giving her time to speak he kissed her and she wrapped her arms around him in response.

They all failed to hear the proximity detector sound, or see the giant gear-wheel turn to produce Gwen with the chinese food. Which she promptly dropped as she took in the all out snog-fest.

"What the bloody hell is going on in here?"

AN hey guys I am sorry if some of the lyrics are wrong I did this one from memory, not all of the one shots will have the lyrics in them so you might want to listen to the song from the chapter title as you read these. In case some of you don't know this is based off of the year that never was in Doctor Who I don't know if they covered it in Torchwood or not. When I first got to start watching Torchwood from the beginning BBCA quit airing it and Miracle Day started. Unfortunately I do not have movie channels and have not been able to see it (SPOILERS FOR CHILDREN OF THE EARTH though without Ianto I doubt I would really enjoy It 8( ) I hope you like this, let me know!

I had it all planned out and then my computer crashes, MACS SHALL DIE!, so im trying to do it the way I planned out but its taking a while to remember. Also, as a college student I dont have much time to write so I will do the best I can.

Thanks again,
