Notes: A lot of Janto moments, since this is their story, are coming up. But with Gwen trying to destroy them, let's take a moment to focus on her part. Plus, let's hold you over while I work out the kinks in the next chapter. Win-win, I say.
Chapter Spoilers: None, though slight references to 2.01 (Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang)
Gwen's POV
That bloody, stupid teaboy is stealing my Jack! This was my first thought after hearing Jack's confession of love and declaration to Ianto. Everyone knows that Jack should be with me, or at least they should. If they don't see it, then they're all bloody blind and stupid.
Jack flirts with me all the time; way more than he does with Ianto. He told me on the way to the archives, when I confronted him about his past, that he came back for me! Sure, he told the teaboy the same thing in front of us all, but this time, I could feel and hear the emotion. They were lacking when Jack said them to Ianto upon his initial return.
Not to mention the way he touched me when he confessed coming back for me. It was soft and tender and personal; way more personal than he could ever touch Ianto. He only hasn't made any moves towards me because he found out about my bloody engagement.
I knew I shouldn't have said yes to Rhys. I know he is a good guy and everything, but he's not great. And he's certainly not as great as Jack; no one could ever be as great as him. I love Rhys, I do, but not in the way I love Jack.
I escaped back to my flat as quickly as possible, tears streaming down my face. Rhys tried to comfort me, and that's when I had an idea. I can see that Jack won't act on his feelings for me so long as Rhys is in the picture. I won't get rid of Rhys just yet, but I'll keep him around long enough to make Jack jealous; to make Jack really hone in on his feelings for me.
Now I just need the perfect moment to enact my plan.
Extra notes: I had a wonderful time at Wizard World. I met John Barrowman, James Marsters, and Henry Winkler. I had a picture with all of them, twice with John since the first was of him and James together. It was just absolutely amazing. My user pic here is my edited version of my photo op picture with John while I was cosplaying as (dead) Ianto Jones.
