"Hello Jack. Ianto's in his room," Jack gave Ianto's mother his thanks and made the familiar journey up to his boyfriend's room. The door was open and through it he could see the boy sat on his bed, back against the wall, listening to his iPod. Jack leant against the door frame and watched him move slightly to the beat of whatever song he was listening to.

"Like what you see?" Ianto said not looking up, but pulling the earphones from his ears, and placing the iPod on his bed beside him.

"Mmm, you know I do," Jack stepped into the room, and shut the door behind him. When he turned around he was greeted by Ianto's lips on his own, "What was that for?" Jack asked when Ianto finally pulled away, his hands still resting around the American's neck.

"Can't a guy kiss his boyfriend without it being questioned?" Ianto said smiling weakly.

"We're just making it harder for ourselves," Ianto released the other boy's neck and took a step back.

"When you leave it's going to hurt like hell anyway. We need to make the most of this Jack," Ianto said, not letting his voice show any particular emotion.

"You make it sound like we're never going to see each other again," Jack laughed nervously. Ianto dropped his gaze, "What are you trying to say Ianto?"

Ianto took a deep breathe, "Think about it. After the exams you're going back to America. You are moving to a different country. Further away than Lisa and I never talk to her anymore."

"We can make it work," Jack said weakly.

"I don't doubt that you will meet someone else," Ianto replied with a tone matching Jack's.

"I love you Ianto," Jack took a step forward and softly placed his hand on his boyfriend's shoulder, "You said you were ok with this."

"I didn't want to have this conversation over the phone, and the next day you just carried on like nothing had changed. I'm not ok with this Jack, you can't expect me to be," Jack moved his hand from Ianto's shoulder to the back of his neck and kissed him slowly and deeply.

"You're right, we need to make the most of this," Jack said when he reluctantly pulled back.

"Like right now," Ianto smiled weakly.

"What about you're mum?"

"I don't care," Ianto said grinning before pushing Jack against the wall, hard. Before Jack could do anything his mouth was covered once again.

………………………………………………………

"Do you think my mum heard us?" The boy asked laughing.

"She probably would've come up here and chucked me out with my trousers 'round my ankles if she did," Jack answered grinning.

Ianto's smile faded, "When are you going to tell the others?"

"I don't know. Tosh was off school all last week because of… y'know. Owen's been acting weird all week too," Ianto didn't get a chance to reply as Jack's phone started beeping. The American's eyes widened as he read the new text message, "I have to go," Jack said before running from Ianto's room. The Welsh boy watched from his window as his boyfriend sprinted down the road.
