Eternity Chapter 7
TWTWTW
Ianto saw the look on Jack's face and felt instantly sorry for his harsh words.
"I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you. Don't mean to hurt you." He sighed. "Shit! This is all so new to me. I don't know what to think anymore."
Jack looked at him. "I'll leave you alone. It's getting late anyway." Jack got up to leave.
"Please….don't go. I….don't understand my feelings. I'm scared."
Jack took his hand in both of his.
Ianto didn't pull away.
"Ask me anything."
"Will it hurt? You biting me?"
Jack chuckled. "No. A nip, that's all."
"And you drain all of my blood from me?"
A shake of the head. "No, or you'd die."
"But, don't I die first, to become….like you?"
"You become like me through drinking my blood. You don't turn straight away."
Ianto looked at Jack's hand holding his.
"How long does it take?"
"A few weeks. You can revert back to being human at anytime, before the change."
"I do feel something for you. I'm not sure if it's love," he laughed nervously. "I haven't really been in love."
Jack released Ianto's hand, putting a finger under his chin and lifting his head so their eyes met.
"I would never hurt you."
"I know."
"I think you better go to bed, don't you?"
Ianto nodded.

Jack lay on top of his bed, thinking about the beautiful Welshman down in the guest room. His heart was beating fast and his head was spinning.
'Could he be falling in love with me? Dare I even think about it?'
Jack closed his eyes, rolling onto his side.
'I need to go and see him. Watch as he sleeps. I need to be near him'
Jack climbed the ladder into his office and was both surprised and excited to see Ianto sitting at his desk.
"I….was just coming to see you."
Ianto stood, moved closer to the older man and kissed him on the lips.
"I've been wanting to do that for the longest time."
Jack smiled, snaking an arm around Ianto's waist.
"I want to be yours. I want to be with you for an eternity!"
Jack moved his lips around to the tender flesh below Ianto's left ear.
"And so you will…. so you will."
