John listened with a satisfied smile on his face as he heard the moans of protest from Ianto, and the screams of pleasure from James. He was quite disappointed that he hadn't been able to ride James himself, he could tell just from looking that the man knew what to do with his gifts. It was also clear that for some reason he was in love with Ianto Jones. John grinned, it was very clear that Ianto was out of the way, now he could go onto plan 2. Jack.

"We've looked every where." Gwen groaned. "No abandoned ware houses. No empty loading bays. No houses. No John."
"He has to be some where." Jack sighed and slammed his fists on the desk. "Ianto's some where..."
"We'll get him back, Jack." Gwen said softly. She moved around the desk and placed a hand on her Captains back, pulling him in for a soft embrace. It was clear that Jack was in love with Ianto. She wondered if either man knew how deep their feelings ran. She was positive that Ianto knew he was in love with Jack, he acted so in love every day they were together, whether it was in their kisses or their secret glances. Jack was more private about it and she knew that Jack hadn't told Ianto that he too was in fact in love with him. Gwen was determined more then ever to get Ianto back so Jack could tell him. He needed to know.
"I know. I'm just scared." Jack sighed. "Ianto... he was just healing from this bastard."
"James?" Gwen asked and frowned.
"Gwen, it's his ex boyfriend. He used to... he was too scared to leave the hub because of him and now because of me he has him."
"It's not your fault." Gwen said gently.
"It is. I should have went with him to meet Ian." Jack sighed. "Then we would have left the pub together and gone home together."
"We'll find him, Jack." Gwen promises. "We'll keep looking." Jack nods because he knows that there is no way he can give up.

John watches as James leaves the house to go and buy some food and supplies. He smirks to himself as he walks into the room that he has left Eye Candy. John knows that if he had a heart that cared for petty humans it would be bleeding right now. He frowns at the usually composed, suit wearing, Jack stealing man he had met just over a year ago. The suit was gone now. He had found out that James hated suits when he saw him rip it away from Ianto's skin. There is only a pair of boxers on him, but John notices that they are ripped and he gulps. He doesn't care, not really. He has probably done worse in his own time line.
"Jack." Ianto whimpers and John remembers just why he doesn't care. "You said you'd protect me Jack." John wants to move away, but he is firmly frozen to the floor. "Jack. Help me. Jack."
John sighs. He wonders if maybe Ianto can smell the pheromones on him and is confusing them with Jack. It's cruel but he has learned now that he is a bastard and moves closer and the whimpering for Jack gets louder. "Save your voice, Eye Candy. You're going to be screaming for your Captain later." John grins as the words slip from his mouth like word vomit uncontrollably.
"John?" Ianto sobs. "Why?"
"I want Jack." John grins.
"This wont get him back." Ianto says, and he's practically naked, covered in blood, bruises and come but he sounds so defiant that John knows that there is truth in his words. "He doesn't want you."
"He wont want you know either." John says and its cruel but Eye Candy deserves it. "Soiled goods." With one last sneer John turns and walks away, behind him he can hear Ianto's cries and he hates that its getting to him. Rehab must have done some good.

Jack is crying. He and Gwen had spent all day searching for where Ianto might be but had come up with nothing. They had no idea where to even begin their search. Jack thought bitterly that if Toshiko were here she would be able to track down some trace that they had left, but after hours of walking around the alley that they had taken his Ianto away from him, Jack had realised that hey had left nothing. Jack had left and told Gwen they would continue tomorrow. They both realised that the only thing they could do really was wait because John would come to them sooner or later. He had come to Ianto's house, a place he had started to call home. He was sat on the sofa that he had spent so many nights cuddled up with his Welsh man watching James Bond films and Ianto's secret pleasures; Disney films, when the phone started to ring. He jumped up, hoping it was John.
"Hello?" Jack asked his voice thick with emotion.
"Er I have got the right number... this is Ianto's phone?" A woman, who had a thick Welsh accent asked on the other line. Jack frowned.
"Yeah... I'm his friend, who's calling?"
"Rhiannon, his sister." She replies. Jack frowns, he wasn't aware Ianto had a sister. "Is he there?"
"No... he's out of town with work." Jack lies.
"Work?" Rhiannon laughs on the other end. "He's a civil servant. Where did he go?"
"Back to London for a few days." Jack hopes that he'll have Ianto back tomorrow and not a few days.
"London?" Rhiannon asks, and there's something in her voice that Jack doesn't like.
"I'll get him to phone you as soon as I speak to him." Jack promises.
"Are you Jack?" The question startles him.
"Yeah... how did you know?"
"He speaks about you." She said and Jack wonders if she is smiling, she sounds like she is. "Says your nice." Jack thinks he might have stumbled onto a private joke and wipes his eyes. "When he gets back from London... you'll look after him right? Only, the last time he came back from there he was a mess."
"I'll always look after him." Jack promises but it's a lie because he hasn't looked after him has he?
"Okay... well get him to call yeah? Nice talking." Jack nods his head and the phone goes dead. Jack feels drained and goes to Ianto's room where it smells so much like his lover that his heart breaks even more. He falls on the bed and manages to cry himself to sleep.
