Time Intertwined
Chapter 13
As John closed the space between them Ianto steeled himself pulling his arm back and slamming it into John's face as hard as he could.
John stumbled back a step, smirked and dabbing with his thumb at the blood from the cut lip caused by Ianto's right hook, "Oh you like it rough, I can do rough" John said amused, licking his thumb savouring the taste of his blood, "but first I want to fuck you"
"Well that would be raping me, cos I don't want to be fucked by you" Ianto said determinately.
These words must have struck a note with John, as he stopped and looked at Ianto carefully, "Yeah you got me there" John for all his faults; alcohol, drugs, murder and sex, although murder was only for those that deserved it, did not condone rape. So if he was to have Ianto he would need to change tactics with Ianto, he didn't want to possess him, but he did want to have a crack of what Jack had, he remembered Jack and him used to share all the time, he was sure that Jack would understand.
Straightening his clothes John stepped back and looked at Ianto with admiration, "Okay we will do it your way"
"So you'll take me back to Jack?" Ianto asked eagerly.
"Yeah sure" John said lewdly "in time"
"Hfmmm" Ianto huffed.

"Jack we've got to do something, we have got to get Ianto back" Tosh exclaimed with fear in her voice.
"I know, I know, but there's nothing I can do" Jack said despondently.
"What do you mean, there's nothing you can do?" Gwen said hysterically.
"My vortex manipulator doesn't work that way, and besides I have no idea where or when John took Ianto" Jack said with no emotion.
"You bastard Jack, so that's it, is it?" Owen said "one of us is taken and you do nothing, and….and this is Ianto"
"You had your fun with him, is this your way of getting rid of us when we have no more use to you" Tosh said sadly.
Jack wasn't listening to his team, as his own mind was screaming internally, of all his lovers, Ianto was the one he couldn't bare to lose, couldn't bare to live without, couldn't bare to watch die, but Ianto hasn't died, he is still alive but unreachable, all because The Doctor decided that Jack shouldn't have a workable Vortex Manipulator. His mind screamed at the injustice, how many times does he have to prove himself, he is not the same person that The Doctor met so many years ago. And now after being taken to 1975, having to freeze himself as he didn't want to relive the 70's, 80's and 90's again without Ianto and now Ianto is taken from him, by John no less, he could feel his heart breaking, he didn't know how much more he could take.
"Jack….Jack…are you even listening to us" Gwen screamed in Jack's face, "what are you thinking about, your next sexual conquest?"
"What?" Jack broke his reverie, "I WANT IANTO BACK MUCH MORE THAN YOU THINK, WE WERE GOING TO BE MARRIED"
Owen looked shocked, Gwen had a stunned look on her face, her eyes bigger than normal and Tosh looked happy and surprised at the same time.

"So where are we?" Ianto said thinking he may as well find out where he was so he could work his way back to Jack.
"Ahh a lovely little planet out pass Alpha Centuri, still in this sector of your Milky Way" John said enthusiastically, "we're here in time for the festival "
"And what festival would that be?" Ianto queried, getting worried that he may be here for a while, as there was no way back without John.
"Oh you'll love it, it's a bit like your Gay Pride parade, only better"
"Never been to one" Ianto lied, he went with a friend back in his uni days, not for himself but his friend was gay, and Ianto wanted to support her, he hated all the flamboyance and tackiness. But it was here that Ianto found out that he was attracted to both men and women equally as he couldn't keep his eyes off the men who showed off their bodies to their beautiful best.
"Then you're in for a treat" John danced around merrily.
"Oh God" Ianto said rolling his eyes.
"Oh he definitely will not be here, actually he's a concept that became out-dated by the 26th Century" John said eloquently.
"Fabulous" Ianto replied sarcastically.

Jack stormed up into his office, he needed to be alone, well he didn't want to be alone, he wanted to be with Ianto, only Ianto.
Gwen and Tosh looked up at the retreating Jack in wonderment, they didn't think that Jack and Ianto's relationship was that strong, that solid that they were considering marriage, no not considering marriage, they were going to be married, that's what Jack said.
"Shit" Owen said, "well I didn't see that coming"
Jack sat heavily at his desk, his head in his hands. His fingers traced his wrist strap, willing it to work when he heard a soft knock at the door, "Jack? Jack, can I come in?" Tosh said quietly behind the door.
"Yeah sure Tosh" Jack said wiping away the tears on the precipice of falling.
"Jack we're sorry, we didn't mean to say those things" Tosh said apologetically.
"Well, you did, and the old Jack would have deserved them" Jack said, "but Ianto is different, he is the one for me, the one that people talk about when they talk about their soul mate, he is my soul mate"
"Oh Jack I'm really sorry" Tosh said genuinely sorry for their mistaking Jack's non-commitment to worry about getting Ianto back.
"It's only being five days, not counting the thirty five years being frozen, but I miss him terribly" Jack said, 'and the year thinking of him every day on the Valient' he thought
"Of course you do" Tosh said, "we're going to find a way to get him back" she said resolutely.
"Tosh, this thing doesn't work" Jack said exhaustedly, "not to go through time, only to open doors and such, fat lot of good that does me"
"Jack this doctor you talk of, the one you said couldn't fix you when you came back?" Tosh said hopefully, "can he help, could he do something?"
Jack thought about that, he got the feeling from the Doctor that he would rather not see Jack again, but surely with what they went through on the Valiant, The Doctor could do a little thing for him, "I'm going to make a phone call, there may be someone who can help"
"And I'm going to check the rift signatures, see if John's vortex manipulator left some indication as to where or when he went to" Tosh said hopefully.
"Tosh?...thanks" Jack said with admiration in his smile.
Jack climbed down the ladder to his bedroom and picked up his mobile that was left there from when he ran out in a rush when Ianto called out to Jack, in what seemed a long time ago. Looking up the number he began to believe that he would see Ianto again, "Martha, hi, it's Jack, can you do me a favour?"

Stumbling back from the festival which went on for the better part of the day and into the night till the sun came up again John and Ianto walked the short distance to the apartment that they were staying in. Ianto was intoxicated on the local drink, he thought he was sampling the local fruit juice but apparently it has alcoholic properties that wasn't divulged when Ianto asked what it was. John held Ianto up as he was having trouble standing and putting one foot in front of the other.
"Come on lover boy, just a few more steps" John said, trying to be helpful.
"Don't want to walk anymore" Ianto pouted.
"Just a few more steps" John smiled, he didn't think that this man, this eye candy could get any more sexy but a boozed up Ianto certainly did.
"Want my bed" Ianto pouted again.
"Soon, very soon" John soothed, getting restless himself for the night to really begin with this man in his bed.
And soon enough they had reached the apartment, John helping Ianto over the threshold and towards the bedroom. John leered at Ianto savouring the site of him sprawled on the bed. He started to unbutton Ianto's shirt, his hands roaming over the milky white flesh of his chest, his fingers pulling at the chest hairs eliciting a moan from the prone man.
John lowered his mouth to kiss the creamy skin beneath him, the moaning became more vocal, the body arched and squirmed, pushing his groin into the body above him. 'Mmmm that's more like it' John thought. He moved his hands to undo the belt buckle, appreciating the muscular lean body of the now willing Ianto. 'A little alcohol always helps release the inhibitions' John thought as he made his way up to kiss the luscious lips of Ianto.
A/N: Oh no, damn alcohol, Ianto would never do this, and with John, no way, it's the alcohol.
