Ianto was let out of hospital the day after and he had a meeting with a psychiatrist the following morning. He didn't really want to go, he had thought about lying to Jack and saying he went but he had a feeling Jack would know. And he hated lying to Jack. Especially since their relationship started out with no trust at all, he didn't want it to go back to that. Not when Jack had started being honest with him.

"I'll take you home, yeah?" Jack smiles as he takes Ianto to the car. Ianto clutches close to Jack whenever they are around other people. He trusts Jack not to hurt him, he doesn't trust anyone else.

"Will you stay?" Ianto asks nervously.

"As long as I can." Jack promises. He knows that he has a few things to do at the hub but as Ianto tenses whenever someone accidentally bumps into him he knows that he can't leave him alone, he wont leave him alone.

Ianto frowns when Jack leads him into his house. "You were here?" Ianto asks and Jack looks at him. "It smells like you."

"Yeah... I... slept here." Jack admits. "I wanted to feel close to you." Ianto feels warm at that, he wasn't the only one needing his lover then. "You don't mind?"

"No. I don't mind." Ianto smiles. "Can I go take a shower?"

"Course. Do you want me to come with you?" Ianto shakes his head, he doesn't want Jack to see him naked. Jack feels a little sad at that but doesn't voice or show it. "I'll make you something to eat then."

"I'm not feeling very hungry." Ianto says.

"Don't care, the nurse said you're under weight."

"But..."

"No buts, Yan. I'll make you some pasta, you're favourite. No meat." Ianto nods his head slowly. "Go have your shower. I'll be right here."

"Thank you." Ianto smiles. Ianto walks to the bathroom and turns on his shower before heading to his bedroom and grabbing some clothes. He grabs a pair of sweat pants and a plain tee. When he showers he scrubs hard at his body with boiling water. He had showered at the hospital but he still felt dirty, he could still feel him... He let out a sob as he scrubbed himself. Every where ached and even though the painkillers had worked at the time they didn't work now and when ever he moved he could feel James' large cock inside him, ripping him open.

Jack makes pasta for the two of them, adding tuna instead of meat. Ever since the disastrous trip to the countryside Ianto hasn't touched meat. Jack thinks that has something to do with the weight loss, why would anyone want to eat when they were so close to become the meal? Ianto took a while in the shower and when he came out, he looked tired and Jack could tell he had been crying.

No words were said, Jack just opened his arms and Ianto collapsed into them. They stayed like that for a good five minutes. Jack slowly moving his arms up and down Ianto's back, calming him. "Thanks." Ianto whispers before moving away. Jack smiles softly at him and then gets the dinner for them. "Looks good." Ianto says trying to fill the silence. Jack thanks him and watches him eat, making sure he eats most of it. He gets that Ianto might not want to eat as much, but he has to eat something.

"Jack..."

"Yeah, Yan?"

"Where's John?"

"At the Hub." Jack answers. "Why?"

"I want to talk to him." Ianto replies. "Can I?"

"Course. I'll phone get him to come over?"

"Please." Jack nods and grabs his phone and calls the hub, when Gwen answers he tells her that Ianto is okay and at home and that he wants John to come over. When she asks what to do with James, Jack replies to leave him there to rot and go home and spend the night with Rhys. Gwen does so.

Ianto and Jack are sat on the sofa when there is a knock at the door. Jack gets up and Ianto feels lonely without him. John looks nervous when Jack answers the door. "What's going on?"

"Ianto wants to talk to you." Jack replies.

"What for?" John asks.

"Don't know." Jack says. "He's in the living room." John makes his way through the small flat and Ianto looks up at him.

"How are you feeling?" John asks, very much aware of Jack standing in the door way.

"Better." Ianto says, and Jack sighs because he doesn't feel better or worse he feels the same.

"I..."

"Thank you." Ianto whispers.

"You're thanking me?" John asks shocked. "If it wasn't for me... none of this..."

"If it wasn't for you I could still be there, or dead..." John shakes his head.

"I'm sorry, Ianto." John says quietly. Apologising isn't something that he is used to, but he knows it is something he has to do in this moment. "I'm sorry I am so jealous of you."

"Why are you jealous of me?" Ianto asks quietly.

"Because you and Jack have something more then what I've ever had him." John says and it's probably the most honest he's been in a while. "And I'm going to stop trying to tear you apart. You're a good man Eye Candy."

"Thank you." Ianto says and yawns.

"Right I think you need to go to bed now." Jack smiles. "Come on."

"I'll show myself out." John smiles as he watches Jack take Ianto's arm and help him up.

"Don't go disappearing just yet John. I want to talk to you tomorrow."

"Okay. I'll be at a bar somewhere." John grins and leaves.

"Come on sleepy head." Jack chuckles.

"Stay the night?"

"Was planning on it." Jack grins.
