Ianto and Jack's cast parties were considered the one of the number one social events of the season. Word had spread how great the parties were their freshman year. Ianto it was soon known was a top noch host.
The young men had it worked out that while Ianto tended to their guests and made sure the food and drink table were fully stocked and made sure their guests were happy Jack did his part by entertaining the guests by playing the piano and taking requests. Also he helped Ianto prepare the apartment for the party ( with the cleaning and setting up)
After Ianto made sure their guests which now included Martha ,Tosh,Lisa and her boyfriend Owen Harper had refreshments, he got himself and Jack each a glass of wine. then he made his way to sit next to Jack on the Piano bench, Jack kissed his cheek as Ianto set Jack's down the glass and a coaster. "Hello you," Ianto smiled at him "Hi."As usual when Jack started playing the crowd gathered around the piano. Ianto noticed that Tommy had his arms around Tosh's waist and was resting his chin on her shoulder. He was glad Tosh had finally stopped pineing over Owen who always ignored her and was now dating Ianto and Jack's Gal pal Lisa. But Tommy had shly asked Tosh out one night after rehearsal and Tosh had accepted. And they had since become a couple. Ianto sat close to Jack and put his head on Jack's shoulder as Jack smiled and started to sing.
LIKE THE BEAT, BEAT, BEAT OF THE TOM-TOM WHEN THE JUNGLE SHADOWS FALL LIKE THE TICK,TICK,TOCK OF THE STATELY CLOCK AS IT STANDS AGAINST THE WALL.
LIKE THE DRIP DRIP DRIP OF THE RAINDROPS.
WHEN THE SUMMER SHOWER IS THROUGH SO A VOICE WITHIN ME KEEPS REPEATING YOU,YOU, YOU!
NIGHT AND DAY, YOU ARE THE ONE ONLY YOU BENEATH THE MOON OR UNDER THE SUN.
WHETHER NEAR ME OR FAR ITS NO MATTER IANTO WHERE YOU ARE.
I THINK OF YOU.
As Jack continued, Ianto sipped his wine and rested his chin on Jack's shoulder and he quietly whispered "I love you Roo,"Jack smiled at him and returned his kiss.
He then started the last verse.
UNDER THE HIDE OF ME THERE'S AN OH SUCH A HUNGRY YEARNING BURNING INSIDE OF ME AND THIS TORMENT WON'T BE THROUGH UNTIL YOU LET ME SPENDING MY LIFE MAKING LOVE TO YOU.
DAY AND NIGHT, NIGHT AND DAY.
With a flurish Jack ended the song and the party guests cheered. Jack, then put his arms around Ianto and gently kissed his lips. As they did they heard Gwen groaned as she spoke,
"Oy,Alley cats. Save it for the honeymoon," Jack glared at her as Ianto spoke." Well Gwen,it just so happens we will have a honeymoon. Just this evening I asked Ianto to marry me and it so happened that he chose this time to ask me, and so the long and short is we both said yes," Tosh and Lisa clapped their hands together. "Yes! Finally." Emma squeal in delight " Oh Jack,Ianto I am soo happy for you," Jack grinned at her " Thanks Em."
Gwen frown" But two men can't get married. It isn't natural." Ianto glanced over at Jack who now had a face of thunder, Ianto gave Jack a look "Jack don't." But it was Emma not Jack that responded to this. "Just because you're miserable, Gwen Doesn't give you the right to make the rest of us can't you just be happy for them? They are two consulting adults. Why can't they get married." Gwen glared at her "Because Miss goody two shoes, it's Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve. FAGS can't marry"
She then got a smug look on her face as she grinned evily as she laughed " So which one of you is gonna wear the dress." she laughed histericly at her own joke That was the straw that broke the camel's. Ianto watched helplessly as Jack slammed the piano keys and stood up, He exploded "THAT'S IT." He raged, "Get the fuck out of Our house," he walked to where Gwen stood" you fucking bitch I want you out of Our house." He took her roughly by the arm and led her to the door and flung it open,
Ianto rushed to stop Jack from killing Gwen. He put his hand on Jack's arm.
"Jack stop! she isn't worth it." Ianto looked imploring at Jack, who still had hold of Gwen's arm as she struggled " You Bastard! Let me go," Jack sneered at her as he roughly let go,"Ianto is right you are so not worth it," he glared at her, "Get Out." he bellowed. "And take that lousey voice of yours with you," Gwen glared at him "I am been a boring party any way," she then turned to Martha " Oh by the way you can find some one else to sing with him. I QUIT," She turned on her heels and stocked out and slammed the door behind her. Speechless. Martha looked at Jack " Great Jack! Now Just who the hell are we gonna get to replace her."
