Jack and Ianto ficlet.

Jack handed Ianto a large brown envelope.

"What is it?"Ianto asked.

"Open it"was Jacks reply.

Ianto opened it and pulled out the contents.Two plane tickets,a brochure and a hotel reservation confirmation.

"Rome"he read out aloud,putting the brochure on Jacks desk.

"Yes"Jack said with a smile.

Ianto looked at the hotel confirmation.

"One double room,private bathroom,hot tub,balcony."

"Yes"Jack said again his smile becoming broader as Ianto placed the paper on top of the brochure.He flicked open the first ticket.

" Jack Harkness"He flipped open the second one"Ianto Jones.Next week"He looked at Jack questioningly.

"Well we are a couple,Ianto,and couples go on holiday together.What's the matter, don't you like Rome,all that history,culture,food,you and me whizzing around on a vesper?"

"A couple?"

"Yes,a couple.Ianto Jones and I want to spend some time with you without any distractions" Jack said as he stood up and came around the desk,he went to put his arms around Ianto who took a step back.

"Distractions?"Ianto said hoarsely"Like Gwen?"

"What!" exclaimed Jack.

"I'm not blind Jack.I know you're in love with her"

Jack crossed his arms."Not only are you blind Ianto you're also stupid."

"I am not stupid"Ianto said softly.

Jack uncrossed his arms and took a pace forward gripping Ianto by the arms.

"Sure I'm fond of Gwen and not so long ago I'd like to have taken her to bed ,but I love you Ianto Jones, and the only person I want in my bed and in my life is you"

"You love me?"

"Yes I love you"Jack confirmed.
Ianto looked at Jack.

"Oh" was all could manage.

"You're supposed to say I love you too"Jack said as he released Ianto's arms and wrapped them around the younger mans waist.

"I love you too,and Rome will be wonderful"Ianto sighed as he wrapped his arms around Jack lifting his face to welcome his kiss.

Mine.By Ianto Jones

Have you ever wanted something so much that you'd kill for it.I did.He was mine first but she wouldn't let him be.Making those big doe eyes at him,licking those full lips,teasing him,tempting him,until he could hold back no longer,could not help himself.They didn't know that I was there,watching,screaming inside.
I followed her home.I dragged her into an alley and put my hands around her neck,she struggled,put up a good fight but I was too strong.She smelled of Jack,of sex. I squeezed and squeezed and as I felt the life drain out of her I thought of Jack,my Jack.He would be mine again now.

Jack and Gwen

Jack forced himself not to shout out.He loved her.Yet,she was here standing beside another man, saying words he didn't want to hear,vowing to forsake all others,forsake him.
Rhys was a nice enough guy.Jack knew that Gwen was too good for him but he could give her all the things Jack couldn't,stability,a home,children.
"Gwen,will you take Rhys to be your husband
Will you love him,comfort him,honour and protect him
and forsaking all others
be faithful to him as long as you both shall live.?"
Gwen looked at Jack suddenly,surprising him with the quick twist of her head so that their eyes met-and held,trapping the air inside his lungs,because he knew that,just as her eyes were revealing her feelings ,so were his own.
He loved her,she loved him.Would it ever be otherwise,while they both persisted in denying it.It would only take a small gesture from her and he would end this charade.
But then as if a shutter had come down, her eyes and face became expressionless.He had his answer.
Gwen turned back to face the vicar
"I will"
Jack stood,turned and walked towards the exit,tears blurring his vision as he stepped into the sunlight.
"Be happy Gwen"he thought"happy enough for both of us"
