A/N : A bit of homophobia in this one. Even though it's stupid it still happens :(
"Hey Tosh wait up!" Owen shouted as he jogged over to Tosh, who had stopped and turned at the school gate.
"Owen, hi. You're early again. What homework do you want help with now?"
"Chemistry." He replied grinning.
"You had all weekend to do that, but fine, I'll help."
……………………………………………………
"So how are things with your mum?" Jack asked slinging his arm over his boyfriend's shoulders, as they walked to school.
"Surprisingly good. I was expecting it to be more awkward, but she's still fine with it."
"Is she ok with you and me?" He did sound genuinely worried.
"Of course," Ianto noticed the boys grin, "Jack?"
"Yeah?"
"Did your dad and brother know about you, before the accident?"
"Yeah, they did." Jack replied sadly, tightening his hold on Ianto ever so slightly.
"Sorry. I shouldn't have mentioned it."
"Ianto. It's fine, really. I like thinking about them." Jack replied with a small smile.
……………………………………………………
"See Owen that was easy. You didn't need my help." Tosh said taking her seat next to the boy.
"I like it when you help with my homework."
"Hey guys." Gwen said sitting down on the other side of Owen, she didn't sound like her normal cheery self.
"What's wrong?" Tosh asked.
"It's just Rhys. He's been acting off with me all weekend. I have no idea why."
"I can think of a reason." Owen scoffed slightly. Gwen gave him a questioning look, "The same reason Ianto left on Saturday." She looked at him blankly, "You and Jack."
"What?! What do you mean me and Jack?"
"I mean you guys were acting a little friendly."
……………………………………………………
"So, you think the whole school knows about our kiss the other day?"
"Yeah, I really am sorry about that." Jack said as he ran a hand through his hair, "But, you really can't blame me, I mean you are pretty irresistible." A grin spread across his face as Ianto turned and stood in front of him, stopping him walking.
"Irresistible, huh?" Jack moved his hands to rest on his boyfriend's hips, and pulled him closer so their bodies almost touched.
"Alright gay boys!" Came a shout from the other side of the road. Jack looked up and saw a boy from the year below them running down the road. Ianto looked down.
"Ianto I'm sorry."
"It's not your fault. I want to be with you. I guess we'll just have to get used to that happening." Ianto looked up at Jack.
"We shouldn't have to." Jack replied, still looking down the road.
……………………………………………………
"So that's why Ianto left? He thought something was going on between me and Jack?"
"And that's why Jack followed." Tosh added.
"But I saw them kiss on Thursday. I thought they sorted everything out."
"Gwen they were arguing. So thinking about it you made it worse."
"Owen! Don't worry Gwen, they might have sorted it now." Tosh gave Gwen a reassuring smile.
"Well they're together, but they don't look happy." Owen said looking over at the boys who just walked into the room.
"What's wrong?" Gwen asked when they sat down.
"Just leave it." Jack said slightly angry.
The lessons before lunch passed painfully slowly for all of the Torchwood gang. When it reached lunch Tosh, Owen and Ianto were sat on the school field talking, before they heard a shout.
"Oi freak!" Ianto, who was sat facing the opposite direction from which the voice came, turned quickly and saw Jack walking over, and a boy standing a few feet behind him, with a group of friends close behind him. "Harkness!" Jack stopped and turned to face the boy, but said nothing. It was the same boy from earlier. "Where's your boyfriend then?!" Jack started walking towards the boy, who was grinning stupidly.
"At least I have someone who's interested in me." Jack said bitterly walking closer still.
"Careful, he might try and kiss you!" Laughed one of the few girls in the group, the rest of them laughed.
"Don't worry. You…" Jack looked the boy up and down, "are not my type." He gave the boy a disgusted look, and turned and started walking.
"Faggot." The boy said just loud enough for Jack to hear. He stopped. Ianto rose to his feet quickly, unnoticed by Jack, who had turned to face the boy again. The American casually strode over to the still grinning boy, and stopped about a foot in front of him. He stopped grinning when Jack swung back and punched him hard in the stomach. The younger boy gave out a high pitch squeak as he clenched his stomach. Jack looked down at the boy in shock as he registered what he just did.
"Jack." He felt two hands on his shoulders, and released the breath he didn't realise he was holding. Jack turned slowly to look into the eyes he loved so much.
"I'm sorry Ianto."
"Jack Harkness! Follow me!" Jack closed his eyes tightly the second he heard Mr Pryce's voice, "Now!"
"Good punch." Owen said quietly, earning a light hit on the arm from Tosh.
……………………………………………………
"What did they say?" Ianto asked as he sat next to Jack in an empty classroom.
"Ianto, Mr Pryce isn't happy, if he catches you in here talking to me-"
"I don't care. So what's going on?"
"Mr Pryce is talking to the head teacher now. He says I might get suspended." Jack smiled weakly.
"What?" Ianto asked, shocked.
"Anyway, I'm sorry."
"Jack stop saying that. I understand why you did it, even if it was a really stupid thing to do." Both boys smiled.
"Detention, everyday after school for two weeks, starting tomorrow!" Mr Pryce shouted as he entered the room, before adding more quietly, "You're getting off lightly if you ask me."
"What about-"
"Ah, Ianto Jones, you can join your friend here for detention tomorrow. As for the other boy, he gets one week of detention after school."
"But that's stupid, he's the one who started this!" Jack shouted back.
"Do you want another weeks detention?" Jack glared at him, "Now get out of here. And I don't want anymore trouble."
When the boys reached the door, Jack whispered, "Twat."
"What was that?!"
