So this chapter will be told in 3 parts. First will be from Jack and Ianto's point of view, 2nd from Gwen, Owen and Tosh's point of view and 3rd will be all of them together. I hope you like this chapter. I'm not sure on a few parts but I hope it works. I was so excited about this fic I felt like I had to upload straight away, so here you go, but don't expect updates to be this quick all the time. The next chapter should be up around Sunday or Monday – no later than Tuesday. Just have to write it first. Anyway, hope you enjoy. No one has looked over this one so the mistakes are all mine – sorry!

I would like to dedicate this chapter to a very dear, ginger, friend of mine. (And before you say anything, gingers are COOL) She is very special to me and has always been nagging me to read fanfiction, so it's because of her that I'm writing this today. She is also one of the BEST singers I know. She is AMAZING! So, Emily, this chapter is for you.

Chapter 2

That night turned into the first of many of Jack's performances at The White Hart. Like a true showman, Ianto owned the crowd, introducing himself, but most of the regulars already knew him very well; he participated in every karaoke night and he was a very good singer. Jack felt like a proud parent watching Ianto take control. Ianto always seemed very shy to Jack, not liking to stand out, but when it came to performing, he seemed to be in his element; where he belonged. But what surprised Jack the most was the fact that Ianto introduced him as his 'boyfriend'. It was strange for Jack and also quite comforting. He knew they were in a relationship, and probably a serious one at that, but the only people who really knew were the team and Rhys, so they had never needed to label it. Also, Jack knew that he was the first man Ianto had been with, and he understood that, in this day and age, it was hard to come to terms with homosexuality. They had never talked about this, but he was sure that Ianto was a bit nervous about it, so when he introduced Jack, he took the Welshman's hand in his own and gave him a small smile filled with gratitude and love.

Jack was actually very grateful that Ianto didn't let go of his hand. Without showing it, he was actually very nervous; something he wasn't used to at all. He suspected Ianto had noticed from the way he was holding onto the younger man.

Ianto had chosen for him and Jack to sing the song 'I Can Be Your Hero' by Enrique Iglesias. As soon as he saw the lyrics Jack knew it was more than just a song to Ianto. Ianto was singing this song to Jack. At one point, Ianto added in a few beautiful harmonies and Jack had almost forgotton to sing, enriched by the young man's beautiful tone.

When the song finished the pub erupted with clapping and cheers from everyone. Even the bartenders were clapping, but Jack didn't notice a thing; he only had eyes for one man. Ianto was waving and thanking everyone for listening, but Jack just held his hand tightly and watched him. Ianto turned to him and smiled encouragingly.

"Kiss him!" Jack heard Gwen shout from the table. Ianto rolled his eyes but everyone in the pub started cheering even louder. Eventually the cheers transformed into a chant of "KISS! KISS! KISS!" so, with a nervous smile, Ianto put his hand on Jack's neck and pulled him in for a kiss. Jack responded enthusiastically. After a few moments of exploring each other's mouths, they remembered where they were and broke apart. Jack leant his forehead on Ianto's and they looked into each other's eyes and laughed before turning back to face the front of the tiny stage.

"Please, give it up for Jack!" Ianto said. Everyone cheered as Jack left to go back to his drink. "Unfortunately," Ianto carried on. "You're stuck with me for another song." Everyone laughed as Ianto selected his next song.

When Ianto introduced Jack as his boyfriend, the rest of the team looked at each other incredulously.

"Did I just hear right?" Owen asked Gwen and Tosh rhetorically.

They were still shocked that Jack had agreed to sing and as soon as Owen had made the comment about him being in love, they couldn't believe it. But when they saw Jack and Ianto take to the tiny stage, they began to think it could possibly be true. They all watched, saying nothing, with huge smiles on their faces as Jack took Ianto's hand and started to sing.

"I never knew Jack could sing this well." Gwen said, in awe of her boss.

'I can be your hero, baby'.

"They sound beautiful." Tosh said, tears forming in her eyes as Ianto added a harmony to the second chorus.

'I can kiss away the pain.'

"What's wrong with you two?" Owen asked, slightly confused. "It's only a song."

'I would stand by you forever.'

"Just listen to them. Look at them." Gwen told him. "It's obviously more than just a song to them."

'You can take my breath away.'

"What?" Owen said, incredulously. "You mean they listened to it while having sex?"

The two women looked at him darkly as he ruined what was wonderful moment in their friends' relationship.

"No, Owen." Tosh snapped. Owen stared at her. "They obviously mean every word of the song. It's not just some lyrics someone else has written. They mean them. It describes their relationship perfectly, if you think about it."

They sat in silence as the couple finished their song; Tosh had actually started crying by the end. To make up for things, Owen wolf whistled and clapped especially loud. Gwen's heart melted when she saw the way they were looking at each other. She had an idea.

"KISS HIM!" She shouted as loud as she could. Gwen saw Ianto roll his eyes and they all laughed. And then the chanting started.

"Oh my God!" Owen said. He couldn't believe it. His tone wasn't bitter, just surprised. And then they kissed. It was a beautiful moment to watch and the three of them just sat there, watching them loose themselves in each other, pouring all their love into the kiss. Gwen whipped her phone out and quickly snapped a photograph of them. Owen looked at her with raised eyebrows.

"What? It could be useful." She pointed out.

At that moment, Tosh leapt from her chair and ran to give Jack an enormous hug. They made their way back to the table, saying nothing, just smiling, watching Ianto begin his second song.

"Ianto! Wow, well done. You were brilliant." Gwen said. Ianto had just sat down after buying another drink for himself. Jack clapped on the back and gave him a wink.

"So, anyone else up for it?" Ianto asked.

"What? After that? I don't think so." Tosh said.

"What do you mean?" Ianto asked her.

"I couldn't follow you. It would be embarrassing." Tosh replied.

"Oh, no Tosh. You're amazing, go on, have a go." Ianto said.

"It's OK. I don't really feel up to it tonight, anyway." She said with a smile.

"OK." Ianto said, putting his arm around Jack's shoulders while he put his arm around Ianto's waist.

"So, lovebirds, what are you gonna do tonight?" Owen asked. Jack laughed.

"I'm sorry, what did you just call us?" Ianto asked, fire in his voice.

"Aah, come off it, Jack already told us that you two finally figured your feelings out for each other." Gwen said.

"Jaaack." Ianto said. "That was meant to be private."

Jack ignored him. "In answer to your question, Owen, I think we're gonna go catch a movie."

"Date night?" Tosh asked.

"Or just fondling in the back row." Gwen mumbled. Ianto rolled his eyes.

"See what you've made me into!" Ianto told Jack, a hint of sarcasm in his voice. "Because of you, they think that I have nothing better to do than 'fondle' you in the back row of the cinema the night my boyfriend tells me he loves me."

"Fine," Jack resigned. "We'll go out for dinner." Jack gave him a quick kiss on the lips and finished his drink in a second.

"Come on then, it's getting late." Ianto said. "And I don't want you to be too tired for later." He whispered the last part in Jack's ear, a wicked smirk on his face.

"Ooh, Ianto Jones, you are feisty tonight." Jack said, grinning.

Owen spluttered into his drink and Tosh giggled. "I don't want to know." Gwen told them.

They got up, said goodnight and left The White Hart hand in hand.

They walked in silence to the resteraunt. It was a new French place in the middle of Cardiff, not too far from Ianto's flat, so they could easily walk home later. It was about 3 minutes away that Ianto next spoke.

"Thank you for tonight." He almost whispered.

"It's OK." Jack told him. "It was actually a lot of fun. I have to admit, I was slightly nervous but the way everyone reacted, I think I might enjoy karaoke night a lot more from now on. And you were brilliant, by the way. And nice choice in song. 'I'm Yours' wasn't it? By Jason Mraz? I like him. He's a good singer, but not my favourite choice-"

"Jack." Ianto cut across him. "That's not what I'm talking about."

"Oh?"

"I meant.. I meant with you telling me.. With you telling me that you loved me. And telling the team too. I know it's hard for you." Ianto said shyly. The stopped walking and Jack looked at him the eyes.

"You do know I mean it, right?" Jack said. "I really do love you."

"Really?" Ianto asked.

"Yes." Jack said with a slight laugh. He put both of his hands on his lover's, no, boyfriend's face, stroking his cheek with his left thumb. Ianto started crying. "What's wrong? I'm sorry, is it too much?" Jack went to take his hands away, but Ianto moved his hand on top of Jack's to move them back. He then moved his hands down to rest on Jack's hips.

"No." He whispered. "I.. I love you too. I love you so much, Jack it hurts." His voice started to break and Jack quickly brought him in for a kiss. Jack moved one hand into Ianto's hair as he allowed the younger man's tongue to explore his mouth. All too quickly they broke apart and stared into each other's eyes, smiling.

"Come on," Jack said. "Let's go eat." He winked, took Ianto's hand back into his own, and they carried on down the street to enjoy the rest of their magical night together.
