Here's a Janto fic, as I am feeling random and I had this idea. Came after re-reading my other Janto fics which I love. I'm bringing back a certain character who was quick to run away in one of my other stories.
Enjoy xxx
An Old Friend
Ianto walked into the pub, alone and defenceless. He was meeting Jack in an hour or so.
Ianto couldn't believe he had rung him and asked to meet here, after last time and what was Ianto thinking, agreeing to meet him. Ianto needed Jack here, to protect him…
'No.' Ianto thought. 'I can do this, I'll be ok, I'll talk to him then meet Jack.'
'Gwen knows where I am, if I have to I'll ring her, not Jack, otherwise Dan won't get out alive.'
"Hey Ianto." Dan said, indicating for Ianto to sit.
"Dan." Ianto replied, reluctantly sitting down.
"Look, I'm… I'm sorry."
"It's took you three years! Just to say that!" Ianto replied, jumping up from his seat.
"Yan, there's no need to make a scene." Dan whispered.
"No need to make a scene? You say something like that to me then three years later you come back to apologise, three years!"
"Yan."
"My name's Ianto! You lost the right to call me that three years ago!"
"Ianto, I'm sorry."
"What took you so long to say that?! Let me guess Ri put you up to this."
"This has nothing to do with Rihanna!" Dan exclaimed.
"Don't you dare shout at him, you scumbag!" A voice broke in.
"Gwen, I can deal with this on my own." Ianto replied, eyes fixed on Dan.
"I'm sorry, if you must know our nephew, Jay came out last night, he tried denying it this morning saying he was drunk…"
"And?"
"He'd had two blue WKDs and then lemonade for the rest of the night, you and I both know it takes Jay no less than 38 double shots of vodka and coke before he's drunk."
"Yeah, I know." Ianto smirked.
Dan smiled and held out his hand for Ianto to shake,
"I am sorry, mate."
"mmm."
"You know that I wouldn't see any harm come to any of my nephews or nieces especially not Jay, after what happened when he was 5."
"You mean when that car hit him at 60 nearly killing him?"
"Yeah, hospital said it was lucky he wasn't paralyzed."
"Yeah."
"How's Rihannon anyway and kids."
"Fine, yeah."
"You always made out you were an only child."
"I felt like it, we're not exactly close."
"Is that why you saw this Toshiko as your sister?"
"Yeah."
"You ok, Ianto?"
"I'm fine, Gwen."
"Ok."
"Hey Yan." Ianto looked up.
Dan looked towards Jack.
"You didn't tell him I called you that, did you? Coz I couldn't say 'Ianto' at 4 and a half."
"No."
"Don't."
"What?" Ianto asked, looking back at Dan.
"Don't tell him."
"Why?"
"Because he loves you, the way he says it, with so much love. Get closer to Rihannon too."
"Why?"
"You need each other."
Ianto sniggered, "Have you met Rihannon?"
"Yes, you do Ianto, now go have your date with Jack."
"So you've changed your opinion then?"
"Yeah, my nephew needs me and so does my best mate, I think."
"Look after Jay."
"I will."
"Good."
"Your number's still the same, ain't it?"
"Yeah, it is, why?"
"I'll text you. In fact me and Ri have new numbers."
"Ok." Ianto replied, handing Dan his mobile.
"This is my number, Ri's number, the house number and oh, Jay's number."
"Why do I need Jay's?"
"Ianto, he'll need someone to talk to who understands, I want it to be you."
"Ok, thanks."
"No problem, pal."
Ianto smiled.
"How are you and Jack then?"
"Been three years since Civil Partnership."
"Oh, nice one." Dan smiled. "Sorry, not very convincing, was it?"
"Least you're trying." Ianto smiled reassuringly.
"Yan. Dan." Jack interrupted, throwing Dan a dirty look.
"Jack, sit down, ok." Ianto replied, sitting down again.
"But…"
"Ianto, go on."
"Dan, it's ok."
"Go on." Dan insisted.
"Thanks."
"No problem."
"Ciya later."
"Ciya Yan… Ianto."
"Jack, please can I talk to you a mo."
"Whatever."
"Jack."
"Ok."
"Please, look after him, better than I did, he deserves someone who loves him, after everything he's been through, in high school, being… never mind."
"Oh ok."
Dan held out a hand for Jack to shake.
Jack looked at Ianto and smiled, he shook Dan's hand and said goodbye.
"Gwen, you can go home now, thanks for ringing me. Go back to Rhys, ok."
"Ok, bye Jack. Bye Ianto." Gwen replied, hugging each of them tightly and leaving them to their date.
"What was that about?"
"What?"
"Why were you here meeting him? Why are you swapping numbers? Why did he call you, Yan?" Jack asked, the last question in a hurt tone.
"In the SUV."
"Fine."
"Firstly, he asked to meet to apologise, Jay, his nephew came out last night. He wants to be friends and me to look out for Jay. And lastly, Jack, he's always called me, Yan."
"Why?"
"When we were kids he couldn't say 'Ianto' properly so he shortened it to Yan, ok."
"Ok."
"It doesn't mean anything, Jack, honest."
Jack nodded.
"Jack," Ianto grabbed Jack's hand, giving Jack shivers, as always. "I still get shivers when you touch me and whenever you say my name, that won't change, ever."
Ianto kissed Jack full on the lips.
Jack whispered, "I love you." Into Ianto's lips.
"Love you too, Jack, forever."
"Let's go back to yours and watch movies on the sofa, ok."
"Sounds perfect."
"It's a date."
Ianto and Jack both smiled as Jack drove them back to Ianto's flat.
Hope you all enjoyed it, sorry for those of u who don't like Rihanna, I was just watching Rihanna's concert last night and I decided to use the name lol. I know it seemed suspicious that Dan was being nice that's why I wrote about his nephew being gay, obv he's my character so I can have a little fun wiv him lol. But I thought that if someone who he was really close to came out then it might make him see sense. I understand if sum of u got confused at the beginning wiv all the 'he's' in it that's why I mentioned Dan's name pretty soon into the story, obv at this point I've wrote that Dan is single as he was in the last story and I'm pretty sure most women HATE homophobic men so I thought until he sees sense he ain't getting a girlfriend. Rihanna therefore is obv his sister, am thinking younger wiv a couple of kids to explain Dan's nephews and nieces, not decided how many yet but oh well. Thought it might be better for Ianto who had sumone outside Torchwood as a friend. No Dan does NOT know about Torchwood at this point Toshiko was the… mmm… receptionist at this 'Tourist Info Office'. Don't want everyone in Torchwood do we??? Lol. Am still updating my other stories except Sparrow and Nightingale for the moment, I need to re-read that and probably re-type it, would be greatful if anyone could give me sum more feedback & tips for that, please =] xxxxx
