Summary: Person's singing brings back memories of the night before.

“Dig if you will a picture!” Person swayed back and fourth as he sang loudly. They were parked and waiting to drive on. “Of you and I engaged in a kiss!” Colbert sat looking behind them at Fick who was walking up to another humvee. The picture of last night burned in his mind. “The sweat of your body covers me!” Person sang on. Colbert and Fick had walked off together talking. Neither of them realized how far they had walked. “Can you my darling?” Person pushed Colbert’s shoulder roughly bringing him back to the here and now.
“CAN YOU PICTURE THIS?” Wright joined in. He was about to turn and walk back when Fick stopped him.

“Dream if you can a courtyard! An ocean of violets in bloom!” Person put his sunglasses on started head banging to the Prince tune. “Animals strike curious poses!” Fick grabbed Colbert’s hand quickly. The feeling of that skin on skin contact sent shock waves through both their bodies. “They feel the heat! The heat between me and you!” Person jabbed Colbert’s shoulder once more. Fick was walking to the humvee directly behind them now, he appeared to be saying something to each driver. Fick looked over at Colbert briefly. Colbert cursed himself under his breath. “How can you just leave me standing! Alone in a world that's so cold?…I wish it was cold here!” Person spit out his window. “You know Brad…Maybe I’m just too demanding! Maybe I’m just like my father TOO BOLD!” Too bold? Colbert had pulled Fick over to him to see his eyes in the pale light coming from the moon. Without thinking their lips and pelvises crashed together and the world around them fell away.

“But maybe you’re just like your mother?” Wright asked as he wrote something in his notebook. “She’s never satisfied!”
“Don’t talk about my mother!” Person snapped back. “Why do we scream at each other?” They both sang. “This is what it sounds like! When doves cry!” Brad suddenly remembers the little moans that Fick had made into his mouth. How he had sucked on his tongue and pulled at his clothes. “Touch if you will my stomach!” Person sang to Colbert. Fick was still talking to the humvee behind them. Colbert had the brief thought that perhaps he was stalling. “Feel how it trembles inside!” Person pulled on Colbert’s sleeve as Wright laughed and wrote frantically in his notebook. Fick trembled as Colbert’s hand had ran up and down his bare chest. Kissing his side and sucking on his skin. Colbert had did the same when Fick was biting his ear. Their erections rubbing together. “It trembles because I’m hungry, Brad!”

“Yeah this one meal a day is bullshit!” Trombley spoke up.
“Problems, Trombley?” Fick asked right next to Colbert. Colbert tried not to jump or even look at the man next to him. He couldn’t bare it.
“You’ve got the butterflies all tied up!” Person sang. After it was all over, Colbert was left there breathing heavily and all alone. He didn’t expect to cuddle or anything, but Fick had practically ran away. He felt ashamed for doing something he swear he’d never do or even try to do. He was scared and confused. “Don’t make me chase you!” This morning when Colbert saw Fick, Fick had just looked the other way. Didn’t say anything to him, pretended he wasn‘t there. Colbert tried not to look or act hurt, but it stung. He wasn’t acting like himself. Where’d the Iceman go?
“We have no problems here, sir.” Colbert said calmly. “None.” Colbert looked into Fick’s eyes and stared at him blankly.
“Just making sure everything is alright. We should be moving soon.” Fick’s green eyes darted around nervously trying not to meet the blue of Colbert’s.
“You didn't have to come all the way down here to do that, sir.” Colbert replied coolly. The expression that flashed across Fick’s face made Colbert wish he was anywhere but there. He was causing Fick pain and he hated it.
“Right then.” Fick hit the humvee twice before turning and walking away back down the line of humvees.
“Now where was I?” Person scratched his head trying to remember the next line of the song, completely unaware of what had just happened.
“Even doves have pride.” Colbert muttered quietly.

- Three years and two months ago -

To everyone’s dismay, Jack was brooding yet again. Something that he seemed to do ninety-nine percent of the time, since Ianto had left. Owen was searching through a box sitting in the visitor’s center that contained Ianto’s belongings. The box was supposed to be placed in storage, packed neatly away with all the other memories of the tea boy. Owen was trying to find a piece of paper. Ianto had written down the instructions on how to make his perfect coffee for everybody in the hub before he left, but Owen had lost it of course. He was hoping somebody had put it by accident in one of the boxes. Without Ianto’s coffee...without Ianto, everybody was on edge.

In the bottom of the box just when he was about to give up and walk away, something caught his eye. It was Ianto’s book. It was a book Jack had given him on his birthday earlier that year. Owen had walked in on Ianto reading it hundreds of times. He picked it up and stared at the cover. He slowly opened it and looked through the pages.
“Ugh…poems.” Owen mumbled to himself.
“Owen!” Jack yelled from inside the hub making him jump. “Quit fooling around and get in here!”
“Be right there, Jack!” Owen yelled back. He was getting sick of Jack’s yelling. He was about to shut the book and put it back in the box when something fell out. It was a picture. An idea suddenly came to Owen. He picked the picture up and tucked it back into the book firmly.
“Owen!” Jack yelled again.
“Coming!” Owen stood up and put the book in his back pocket. “This is going to be interesting.”

-

Four months later on a sunny day, there was a knock on the Jones’s door.
“Coming!” Mrs. Jones called as footsteps approached the front door. “Yes?”
“Jones residence?” The mailman asked.
“Yes.” Mrs. Jones eyed the packaged. “I didn’t order anything.”
“I have a package here for Ianto Jones.” The mailman held out a clipboard. “It needs to be signed for.”
“Oh! He’s not here. Off trying to find himself!...whatever that means.” She chatted away while signing.
“What do you have there?” Mr. Jones asked as his wife came into the living room.
“A package for Ianto…feels like a book. I’ll put it with his stuff.”

- Part Five -
“Now You’re Free At Last”

Ianto’s first friend was a boy named Travis. He was the son of his father’s friend. He was the same age as Ianto and had dark brown hair and bright green eyes. They were introduced when he was eight. His parents worried about little Ianto, because he was so shy and showed no signs or ever spoke of having friends. Travis on the other hand was the opposite of Ianto. He was bold and outgoing. He loved being the center of attention. The first thing he said to Ianto when they met was “You’re going to be my friend!” and Ianto didn’t argue.

They didn’t attend the same school, but every day when their class ended they were met up at the corner by the grocery store. They would skip lunch to save their money and then go spend it all on sweets and soda. They would buy comic books and lay outside in the grass and read to each other. They were the best of friends and nothing could tear them apart, or at least that’s what they thought.

It was a hot summer day and school had just let out. Travis was walking quickly to their rendezvous. He had gotten a new comic book that morning as a surprise from his mother and wanted to share it with Ianto. But when he got to the corner his friend wasn’t there. He walked inside the shop to see if Ianto was waiting.
“Is Ianto here?” Travis asked Henry, the shopkeeper.
“Not day, son.” Henry replied as he helped a costumer. “He might still be walking here.”
“Yeah…” Travis said and walked outside. He decided to meet Ianto halfway and started walking towards his school.

“STOP!” He heard his friend’s voice. “NO!” Travis looked down the alleyway where Ianto’s voice was coming from. “Please! Give me my bag back!”
“Ianto!” Travis shouted as he ran down to rescue his friend. “Leave him alone!” He yelled at the two bullies. Their names were Billy and Tag. They loved messing with Ianto, because he would never fight back and never told on them. He was an easy target.
“Piss off!” Billy yelled and Tag laughed.
“Leave him alone!” Travis yelled again.
“PISS. OFF.” Tag said right back. Travis had it. He was no longer going to stand by and watch. Travis balled up his fists and ran at Billy. He closed his eyes and began throwing his fists out.
“Stop it!” Ianto yelled as Travis felt his fists hit flesh. Travis didn’t stop though, he continued beating on Billy. Ianto got up off his knees and tried pulling Travis off him. Billy got away, but Tag stood there shocked.
“Leave us alone!” Travis yelled and pulled away from Ianto. He ran towards Tag and began beating on the boy.
“TRAVIS!” Ianto shouted. Travis’s fists hit Tag over and over until he felt wetness on his hands.

“I’m bleeding!” Travis said as he backed away.
“He’s bleeding!” Ianto went over to Tag, but Tag pulled back.
“STAY AWAY!” Tag yelled. He quickly got to his feet and ran off.
“What have you done?” Ianto shouted with tears in his eyes. “You shouldn’t have done that!”
“He was hurting you!” Travis said, confused.
“Stay away from me.” Ianto picked up his bag and ran away. Travis stood there shocked. He thought he had saved Ianto…what did he do? Travis tried calling Ianto’s house, but Ianto would never talk to him. Their friendship had ended.

Three weeks later as Ianto was laying on his bed reading a comic book it hit him. He no longer could call Travis and rant about what he had just read. He didn’t have anybody to talk to about all the issues he was going to buy with his new paper route money. He didn’t have a friend to walk home with anymore. Ianto wanted Travis back.
“Mum.” Ianto walked into the kitchen and found his mother washing dishes. “I’m going over to Travis’s house.”
“Oh honey.” She said, wiping her hands on her apron. “Travis doesn’t live there anymore.”
“What?” Ianto’s eyes got big and he felt like crying. “Where does he live?”
“They moved back to London.”
“But…” Ianto didn’t understand. Why wouldn’t Travis tell him they were moving?
“Maybe your father will drive you there on the weekend some time?” His mother smiled, trying to comfort him. But it was no use. Ianto had lost his very first friend and it was all his fault.

Ianto’s father never drove him to London to visit. Travis never visited him. They never saw each other again. The two could probably pass each other on the street and never even noticed. They were never to be friends again, but they were always think about each other whenever they were lonely.

-

Now here one of the boys was…all grown up and thinking about his first best friend. Ianto was still laying on the hotel bed. Jack had gotten up a few hours earlier to shower and change back into his clothes.
“What are you thinking about?” Jack asked as he sat down at the edge.
“Nothing.” Ianto lied. He was thinking about how he had betrayed almost all the ones that mean the most to him. His first friend, his first love, and his first Captain. Jack was sitting there thinking the same thing. He had let everybody he loved down.
“Yan.” Jack whispered touching Ianto’s bare leg. “I’m sorry.”
“I need some time to think.” Ianto whispered back.
“Why can’t you forgive me?” Jack asked in a hushed voice. “I spent all these years without you. Isn’t that punishment enough?”
“Jack, I - ”
“I was only trying to protect you.” Jack quickly cut him off.
“I don’t need protecting.” Ianto rolled over into a ball.
“I will always protect you.” Jack stood up. “That will never change.” Before Ianto could say another word, Jack left.
-

Three days later Jack was back at the hub. He had been there since he left the hotel. Jack thought it was best to leave Ianto to think. Ianto would find him when he’s ready…or not at all. It was early in the morning and Jack couldn’t sleep. He was sitting at his desk staring at the boxes of Ianto’s things that have been there since the day he had left. Jack was supposed to put them all in storage a long time ago, but could never bring himself to do so.
“Foolish.” Jack groaned and put his face in his hands. “I actually thought he would want to come back…foolish.” He sat there thinking about what he would have done differently. How he should have just walked away from that coffee shop and never looked back.
“Coffee?” Jack’s eyes shot up to the door way of his office. “Would you like some coffee, sir?”

Ianto stood there smiling with Jack’s favorite coffee mug in his hand. Jack couldn’t bring himself to do anything, but nod. He thought for a second that Ianto was an illusion or perhaps he had fallen asleep.

Ianto walked over to Jack’s side and sat down the mug in front of him. Jack immediately took action to see if he was real and pulled Ianto into his lap. He buried his face in Ianto’s chest and inhaled deeply…yes that was really him.
“So…I take it you never found a replacement?” Ianto asked wrapping his arm around Jack’s neck. “The kitchen is filthy and the visitor center looks like an alien attacked it!”
“You’re not wrong!” Jack smiled at the sight of Ianto’s red shirt. He loved that shirt. “I couldn’t find anybody as good as you!”
“Well!” Ianto stood up. “I better get to work!”
“Um…no!” Jack pulled Ianto back down to him.
“No?” Ianto smiled devilishly.
“I don’t think it’s a good idea for you to come back so soon.” Jack kissed Ianto’s temple trying to soften the blow.
“What? Why not?!” Ianto stood back up and stared down at him.
“Give me some time to talk with the team.” Jack tried pulling Ianto back down. “And I should give you some time to get settled back into Cardiff.”
“Then I guess I should leave!” Ianto smirked and kneeled down next to Jack. “Unless you have something you want me to tend to right now.”
“So you forgive me?” Jack asked suddenly with a serious look on his face. Ianto laid his head in Jack’s lap.
“I’ve forgiven you a long time ago.”

-

It had been four weeks since Ianto got his memory back and he was getting restless. He had been back to London twice to get his stuff and quit his job. Ianto made sure to have lunch one more time with Maggie before he left. When they were eating he gave Maggie the recipe for Samantha’s special coffee. She was so happy she started crying in the middle of the restaurant. Ianto kissed the top of her head and promised to invite her to stay with him as soon as he gets moved in. He smiled at the thought of introducing her to Jack, and then got very afraid.

Jack had found Ianto an apartment. It was small, but comfy and close to the hub….though Ianto wasn’t allowed to work just yet. Jack kept saying he wanted Ianto and the rest of the team to be ready. Ianto wouldn’t understand and begin to yell about how he was ready. Jack in return would cuddle and kiss Ianto until he was no longer angry. It seemed to be working fine.

Then one day Ianto and Jack were coming back from having lunch together. It was something Jack tried to do everyday. They were walking down the street when they saw a familiar face on the opposite side.
“Gwen!” Ianto shouted quickly crossing the street. “Gwen!” He called again.
“Ianto!” Gwen yelled back as she let go of Rhys’s hand to take hold of Ianto’s.
“You’re pregnant?!” Ianto stopped quickly to stare down at Gwen’s stomach. “Jack never told about that! Oh god!…Aliens?”
“No! Twins!” Gwen smiled and then put her hand up to her mouth trying not to cry. “I’ve missed you!” Gwen pulled him into a tight hug.
“I’ve missed you, too!” Ianto held on to her.
“Are you crying again?” Rhys asked putting his hand on his hip. “Those bloody hormones.”
“I can’t help it!” Gwen sobbed into Ianto’s shoulder. “I told Jack I wanted to see you a long time ago! Trying to keep him for yourself are you?” Gwen said pulling back trying to wipe the tears away.
“Apparently I need to try harder!” Jack smiled back. “Aren’t you supposed to be on bed rest?”
“Oh, I was just so bored of laying down! I wanted to get some air.” Gwen put her hands on her stomach. “I’m pretty sure the babies don’t mind!”
“Yeah, but I do.” Rhys growled.
“Yeah well…oh. Oh!” Gwen grabbed onto Rhys quickly. “I think my water just broke!”

Five hours later the whole Torchwood team was reunited again. They were standing in the waiting room at the hospital waiting for news of Gwen. When Tosh saw Ianto she ran at him so fast he almost fell over.
“Well if you’re going to get hurt might as well get hurt in a hospital!” Owen remarked with a slight smile. “Good to see you, Ianto.” Owen said awkwardly. He took Ianto by surprise when he walked over and hugged him. “Well.” Owen said as he pulled back--visibly uncomfortable at everybody staring at him. “I’ll go see if Gwen’s had those brats yet.”

-

Just as Jack was about to tell his team to go home and let Gwen and her family have some time together Rhys came out.
“She wants to see you guys!” Rhys couldn’t stop smiling. “They are so beautiful!” They followed Rhys into the room where Gwen was laying down with two bundles in her arms.
“Oh, Gwen!” Tosh whispered as she walked over to get a better view. “Precious.”
“Her name is Elizabeth Cadi and his name is Dillion Alun.” Gwen smiled from ear to ear.
“Decided not to go for the name Jack then?” Jack said from the doorway.
“Come over and look!” Tosh gestured for him.
“No thanks, Tosh. I don’t want to give them my germs.” Owen stood next to Jack with is hands on his hips.
“Let me see.” Ianto walked over to Tosh.
“Awwwwww.” Gwen, Rhys, Ianto, and Tosh all said together as baby Dillion yawned.
“I’m outta here.” Owen quickly growled.
“Oh, c’mon Owen!” Tosh held out her hand for him to take. “Just look!” Owen took her hand and Tosh pulled him closer.
“Yeah…babies. They all look the same!” Owen frowned. “Can I go?”
“Owen!” They all said in unison.

Jack watched his team from the doorway, smiling. It felt like those three years Ianto had been gone didn’t happen. Ianto looked back at him and smiled.
“Don’t you want to see them?” He asked walking over to him.
“Later.” Jack pulled Ianto into his arms and hugged him. “Let’s go home.”
“Okay.” Ianto turned back to Gwen. “We’re going to go. Do you want me to get you anything?”
“No, I’m alright.” Gwen smiled. “Will you be at work Monday? The team is going to be a member short with me taking leave. Now is a good time for you to come back.” Ianto looked over at Jack.
“That’s a great idea!” Tosh chimed in. “We could get you up to speed with everything that’s been happening!”
“That’s going to take forever.” Owen mumbled.
“Jack?” Ianto was still staring at him.
“Sure.” Jack smiled weakly. “I don’t see why not…”
“Really?!” Ianto couldn’t help smiling. “Thank you!” He wrapped his arms around Jack and kissed him.
“Weren’t you two leaving?” Owen said destroying the mood.

-

That Monday at 5:54AM, Ianto finally went to work. He hadn’t gotten any sleep the previous night, because Jack refused to let him…and he couldn’t say no. When he arrived at work he quickly cleaned up all the little messes around the hub and slipped into his old coffee making routine. Owen and Tosh walked in the door right as Ianto finished filling their mugs up.
“Thanks Ianto!” Tosh took the coffee handed to her. “When you’re ready I have some files for you to take a look at.”

“A few files?” Ianto mumbled as Tosh showed him the pile she wanted him to read through. “A few files?” He repeated shocked.
“You’ve been gone a long time!” Tosh said without thinking. “…so there’s quite a few things…”
“Okay.” Ianto interrupted her feeling uneasy.
“I’m sure Jack will be willing to help fill you in as well!” Tosh smiled trying to lighten up the mood. “Do you have anything to add Owen?”
“Um…” Owen put his finger to his chin in mock thinking mode. “There was that time people died…and the aliens…”
“Oh Owen.” Jack said as he walked over to them. “Leave them be.” He gestured for Owen to follow him into his office.

“Jack, what you did was very - ” Owen began as they walked into Jack’s office. He stopped himself as he tried to find the right word.
“Brave? Heroic? Impressive?” Jack leaned against his desk.
“Stupid.” Owen finally said. “We’ve already written him off as retired and retconned. He’s been out for a very time long…but I didn’t expect anything else from you Harkness. I always expected him to come back sooner or later. I was hoping sooner rather than later.” Jack smiled weakly.
“It doesn’t matter how long he’s been gone. He’s back now. Whatever happens, we’ll deal with it.” Jack stood and walked over to stand beside Owen. He looked out towards where Ianto and Tosh were sitting. “I’m not letting him go.” Owen rolled his eyes.
“You are so whipped.”

-

It was midnight when Jack and Ianto finally had time alone. Everybody had gone home for the night, and Ianto was taking a “break” from reading all of Tosh’s files. He was laying down on Jack’s bed with his head propped up on the pillows. His eyes followed Jack as he walked back and fourth getting ready for bed.
“Come lay down!” Ianto’s eyelids were getting heavy.
“In a minute.” Jack began to undress.
“You always wait until I can’t hold my eyes open to do that part!” Ianto complained as he eyes finally closed. Jack smiled at the sight of him spread out on his bed. He finished undressing and laid down beside him.
“Finally.” Ianto whispered and rolled over to his side so Jack could hold him.
“Sorry I took so long.” Jack said quietly in his ear. Ianto knew he wasn’t talking about taking his time undressing.
“I forgive you.” Ianto said sleepily. They laid there dreaming together and took comfort knowing they had each other now. The past and future means nothing to either of them. It just took three years for them to realize it.

THE END

“Jack no!” Ianto yelled as the water came splashing at his face. “I said no!”
“Say please!” Jack laughed spraying Ianto with the hose.
“We’re supposed to be washing the car!” Ianto said right before the water rushed into his mouth. “Jack!” Ianto bent over and began to cough.

“Are you okay?” Jack asked concerned. “I’m sorry.” He walked over and put his hand on Ianto’s shoulder.
“Mmm.” Ianto cleared his throat stood up. His eyes shot over to the hose laying on the ground, and before Jack could stop him Ianto grabbed it.
“No.” Jack said firmly backing up. Ianto raised the hose and water hit Jack right in the face.

- Part Four -
“Somehow I Doubt You’ll Ever Be Back”

Ianto first started thinking about leaving Torchwood after Lisa died. He couldn’t bring himself to work for the same people that had destroyed the woman he loved. However, Ianto made a decision. He didn’t want anybody else to have to go through what he went through. He wanted to make a difference and help protect Earth from hostile aliens…well that’s what he thought at first. After he returned to work and actually started to help out he came to a completely new realization. Ianto wanted to stay with Torchwood because of Jack. It was Jack who gave him meaning again. His Captain. He felt like he could trust Jack no matter what and Ianto loved him.

When Jack disappeared Ianto was devastated. He searched everywhere thinking perhaps Jack had left a note or instructions. Maybe this was a test? Ianto tried to believe that Jack wouldn’t just leave and never come back. He went to work every morning hoping that Jack would be there. It was when Ianto had stopped believing Jack would return that he did.

Ianto wasn’t angry with Jack. The moment he heard Jack’s voice all the pain and anger vanished. He just wanted to hug him and make sure that Jack was really there and not some illusion. Ianto had that chance and did so…along with a few other things. Now that Jack was back everything in Ianto’s world was complete. Ianto’s world, however perfect it seemed to him, would come crashing down violently and nobody would be the same again.

It was an ordinary morning when it happened. Ianto was getting his keys out of his coat when a man grabbed him from behind. With a gun to his head Ianto had no choice, but to unlock the door and let the stranger in. He stayed calm knowing that the man would never get inside the hub. The man threw him down behind his desk and started searching around. Ianto immediately pressed the black button behind his desk alerting Jack and the hub.
“How do you get inside?” The man yelled spinning around to face Ianto.
“Like I’ll tell you…not very bright you are.” Ianto sat up straight in his chair pleased with himself.
“You little!” The man came charging at him. Ianto tried to move out of the way, but the man was too quick. The end of the gun came crashing down against his temple and he fell back. Ianto felt wetness on his forehead. He tried staying awake. “You took her away from me!” The man shouted.
“Who?” Ianto was confused and in pain. He was trying hard not to pass out.
“SHUT UP!” The man yelled. Ianto looked up just in time to see a boot smash into his face.

When Ianto came to he was duct taped to his desk chair with his tie acting as a gag in his mouth. He was having difficulty breathing with all the blood in his nose.
“Looks like your boyfriend is finally awake!” The angry voice shouted. Ianto quickly looked around the visitor center for the violent stranger, but he seemed to be standing somewhere behind him. He could only see Jack standing in the door way looking very angry.
“You don’t have to do this.” Jack tried reasoning with the man.
“Fuck you.” He spat back. “You don’t know what I’ve been through! You took the only person that ever loved me…that I ever loved. You took her away!”
“I’m sorry…I really am, but I didn’t have a choice!” Ianto didn’t know how long their conversation had been going on, but it sounded like Jack had enough and was ready to take action.
“You did have a choice! You could have stopped that monster from attacking her!” The man seemed to have started to cry.
“We were too late…now put that gun down!” Jack shouted.
“No. I lost what I loved.” Ianto felt the pressure of a gun on the back of his head. “Your turn.”
“Close your eyes, Ianto.” Jack quickly yelled. BANG!

-

His name was Daniel Pace. He and his girlfriend Rachel were coming home from dinner when they were attacked by a weevil. Daniel was getting the car ready as it was raining and didn’t want Rachel to get sick. When he saw the monster attacking Rachel he tried pulling over to her, but was cut off by a black SUV. He thought maybe they were going to help her, but as they drove away only the monster was gone. Rachel lay there on the sidewalk in the rain bleeding. He drove as fast as he could to the hospital, but it was too late. Rachel and their unborn child were dead.

-

Ianto braced himself for the shot that never came. He opened his eyes when he felt hands untying him. He was alive.
“Are you alright?” Jack asked taking the gag out of Ianto’s mouth.
“What happened to…” Ianto looked behind him and saw the man’s body slumped over. “Jack.” He whimpered.
“I had no choice.” Jack stated as he finishing untying Ianto.
“You shot him in the head!” Ianto’s eyes were brimming with tears. “You didn’t have to kill him!”

That night Ianto did research trying to figure out the man’s identity and why he was so upset. He read about Daniel Pace’s story and his girlfriend Rachel. He felt for Daniel. He could have been Daniel. If Ianto didn’t have Torchwood…if he didn’t have Jack…he didn’t want to think about it. He couldn’t believe Jack’s actions. He confronted Jack about it.
“Why did you kill him?” Ianto’s voice broke the silence of the hub. Everybody was gone and Jack was in his office looking over files.
“Why did I kill him?” Jack repeated shocked by the question. “He had a gun to your head, Ianto!”
“You could have shot him in the arm or -”
“I don’t want to talk about this.” Jack cut him off and stood up and walked towards his office door. “You should be at home resting.”
“But I want to talk about it!” Ianto said grabbing Jack’s arm firmly.
“Damn it, Ianto!” Jack yelled. “Put yourself in my shoes! What would you have done?”
“I would have disarmed him. I wouldn’t have killed him, Jack!” Jack stared at him in disbelief. “He was a man in pain. He lost somebody he loved and you killed him for it.” Jack pulled away from Ianto.
“I can’t believe you are saying this to me!” Jack was visibly hurt, but Ianto didn’t care.
“I was him! I held a gun to your head and you let -”
“He isn’t you!” Jack shouted interrupting Ianto again. “I didn’t know his story or his personality. I did what I thought was best.” Jack grabbed Ianto by the shoulders. “Let it go.” Ianto quickly pulled back when he heard those words. “Go get some sleep.” Jack tried sounding friendly.
“Can’t you feel anything?” Ianto shook his head in disbelief and left Jack’s office.

Those words stayed with Ianto. “Let it go.” He couldn’t get to sleep that night. When he woke up in the morning he felt numb. He went to work. Made coffee. Took out the trash. Picked up dry cleaning. He was just going through the motions. Jack thought it was just him trying to move on from the previous day’s events. He wanted Ianto to take a few days off to heal, but Ianto would have none of that.
“How do you feel?” Jack asked as he walked in on Ianto making more coffee for Owen.
“Sore.” Ianto didn’t look up.
“Maybe you can stay with me tonight and I can help?” Jack rest his hand on the small of Ianto’s back. “Massage your aching back?”
“Not tonight.” Ianto picked up Owen’s mug and walked past Jack without saying another word. Ianto didn’t want to stay that night or the next night or the next. In fact Ianto didn’t even want Jack to touch him. He would practically jump away whenever Jack got close to him. Ianto had changed and Jack wanted him back.

-

“What’s going on with you, Ianto?” Jack finally got a chance to ask him a month later. He had just caught Ianto before he left to go home. Ianto had been going home earlier lately and Jack found it harder and harder to catch him alone. “Why don’t you want me?” The tone of Jack’s voice surprised Ianto. He sounded like a little boy whose friend wouldn’t come out and play anymore.
“I will always want you, Jack.” Ianto said without realizing it. He straightened up quickly, trying to regain his composure. “I’ve been meaning to talk to you, sir.” Ianto reached into his desk and pulled out a thick file.
“What’s this?” Jack asked taking it from him. Ianto inhaled deeply before he spoke.
“I no longer wish to work for Torchwood.”
“What?” Jack’s eyes shot up. “No.” Jack threw the file on Ianto’s desk. “I won’t allow it.”
“You don’t have a choice, sir.” Ianto avoided looking Jack in the eyes.
“Don’t you do this to me, Ianto!” Jack shouted.
“Please, sir.” Ianto finally looked Jack in the eyes.
“STOP CALLING ME SIR!” Jack couldn’t control his voice…he couldn’t control anything. “You can’t leave! We need you….I need you.” Jack’s eyes brimmed with tears.
“I don’t want this, Jack.” Ianto’s voice cracked as he spoke. “I can’t live this life anymore.”

They continued arguing for the next two weeks. Jack refused to let Ianto leave and Ianto refused to let Jack keep him. Finally Jack had no choice, but to tell the rest of the team. They all took it badly. They tried convincing Ianto to stay, but much to Jack’s surprise they all agreed that it would be best to let him go. Jack was outnumbered, so he let Ianto’s plan take motion.

Jack was to go to Ianto’s apartment and watch as Ianto took the amnesia pill. He was to forget all about Torchwood. Ianto wrote his own story as to what happened for him to lose those years. Car crashed seemed believable enough. Jack tried getting somebody else to do it, but Ianto insisted that Jack be the last he saw.

It was 8:00 PM when Jack arrived. Ianto answered the door in a white t-shirt and jeans. His apartment was bare and ready for him to forget. Jack requested for one last night together with him. He didn’t want to have sex…he just wanted to hold him. He wanted to lay next to his lover one last time. The bed was bare and Jack’s stomach was in knots. They laid there side by side staring up at the ceiling. Ianto let out a soft whimper and rolled over on his side away from Jack. He curled himself up in a ball and shook.
“Ianto…are you alright?” Jack put his hand on Ianto’s shoulder.
“What have I done?” Ianto sobbed as he rolled over to face Jack.
“Come here.” Jack whispered and pulled Ianto into his arms.
“I don’t want to forget you, Jack!” Ianto cried into Jack’s shirt, his whole body shaking violently.
“Shhh.” Jack tried calming him down. It didn’t help that Jack himself had began to cry.
“I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I’m sorry.” Ianto repeated over and over. “Please…I don’t want to forget!”
“You won’t.” Jack buried his face in Ianto’s hair. “I’ll protect you…I promise.” His heart broke by saying those words, because he knew what he had to do. Jack took Ianto’s face in his hands and stared at him. “I love you.” Jack whispered for the first time.
“I love you too.” Tears streamed down Ianto’s face. He knew what Jack was planning on doing.

- Part Three -
“To Put Things Right”

Jack rushed back to the hotel. He was going to tell Ianto everything. Hopefully something he says will trigger the rest of his memories. The drive felt like it took forever. Everybody seemed to be driving so slowly. He flew into the parking lot of the hotel and didn’t even bother parking correctly. He took the stairs two at a time up to the third floor and rushed to Ianto’s room. Jack took a deep breath and knocked on the door.
“Ianto! It’s me.” Jack said trying to calm down. “Ianto?” Jack said again when there wasn’t a reply. He knocked a few more times and then put his ear to the door. He couldn’t hear anything. Jack started to panic. He rushed back down to the lobby and asked if they saw anybody leave.
“Lots of people come and go, sir.” The girl behind the desk said.
“Yeah…okay. Can I have another key to my room then?” Jack asked trying to be polite.
“Jack!” He quickly spun around. It was Ianto.
“Thank god!” Jack exhaled and walked over to him. “Where have you been?”
“I went to get a soda.” Ianto explained holding up a can. “I didn’t want you to waste money on the expensive stuff they have in the mini fridge. It’s ridiculous!”
“Yeah…” Jack stared at him. Ianto’s actions made him remember a time when they were at the store involving whipped cream and Ianto saying loudly what Jack was going to do with it so why bother paying so much for it…
“Is everything okay?” Ianto asked feeling uneasy. “Did you find out what to do with me?”
“I’m going to explain everything.” Jack said putting his hands on Ianto’s shoulders. “Lets go back to the room.”

Ianto became extremely nervous when Jack said he was going to tell him everything. He wanted to know, but he was scared. His hands began to shake when they reached the room.
“Sit down.” Jack gestured to the bed. Ianto did as he was told. He sat his can of soda down on the bedside table and began to twiddle his thumbs, trying to relax. Jack leaned up against the wall opposite him. He stared down at Ianto’s hands as he tried to figure out how to begin.
“Oh Christ, I’m nervous.” Ianto mumbled to himself. He quickly wiped the sweat from his hands on his jeans. “So…” He wanted Jack to say something.
“Have you ever heard of Torchwood?” Jack said abruptly.
“Maybe…” Ianto tried to remember if he had. “I think I almost worked for them…or I did...or I didn’t get the job?”
“You did get the job.” Jack stood up straight. “Canary Wharf?” He asked hoping Ianto would remember. “…Lisa?” Ianto shook his head. “Alright…I’m going to tell you a story. I don’t want you to interrupt me. I want you to listen to the whole thing, and pay attention. Hopefully something will trigger your memory.” And so Jack told the story of Ianto’s career at Torchwood.

He told Ianto everything he knew about him when he worked at Torchwood One and then at Torchwood Three. Jack went into details about missions he thought Ianto had a big hand in. He smiled when he talked about his team. Ianto listened carefully even though part of him wanted to go running from the room. Jack sounded like a madman to him…but he seemed to believe everything he told Ianto was true. For some strange reason Ianto trusted this mysterious man. Parts of some stories even sounded familiar like somebody told him before. He quickly remembered the dreams he had when Jack told him about the cannibals and about how hurt Ianto had gotten. Jack finally told him about his life with Lisa and the tragic events at Canary Wharf. When Jack spoke about it he looked and sounded like it pained him.
“Lisa…” Ianto spoke interrupting Jack. Though he heard Jack say the name before something changed when he spoke about her. Ianto could almost picture her face.
“Do you remember her?” Jack asked leaning towards him. He was now sitting in a chair in front of Ianto. Jack had been talking for almost two hours. He was worried about bringing Lisa up. What if Ianto only remembered the bad things and not the good?
“I…I think…I knew her.” Ianto’s face was strained as he spoke.
“Yes, you did. Try and remember.” Jack encouraged him. He moved over to sit beside Ianto on the bed.
“She got…” Ianto cleared his throat trying to find the right words. “She had metal…all over. They did something. I tried to help her, but I couldn’t. She was in pain. She changed…her voice was cold.” Tears started to form in his eyes. “Oh god. What they did to her!” Ianto looked at Jack trying not to cry. “What you did to her.”
“Yanto.” Jack whispered putting his hand on Ianto’s back. “Can’t you remember anything that happened after that?” Jack waited for Ianto to respond. “All the other things I…we said and did…nothing?”
“Tell me…tell me everything.” Ianto wiped away his tears with the back of his hand. “You aren’t telling me what I want to know!”
“I have been telling you everything!” Jack said angrily as he stood up.
“No! I want to know why I left! Why I can’t remember all these things!” They both stared at each other silently. “I want to know why I left you.” When those words came out of Ianto’s mouth Jack turned away from him quickly as if they burned.

“….a girl died.” Jack finally said after a few minutes of silence.
“Lisa?” Ianto quickly asked.
“No.” Jack shook his head.
“Then who?” Ianto started to become impatient.
“Her name was Rachel.” Jack inhaled deeply and put his hand up to his forehead.
“I don’t remember her.” Ianto replied slowly.
“You didn’t know her.” Jack said as he pretended to be studying a picture on the wall.
“Then why did I leave?” Ianto almost begged for the answer.
“She died because of me…her boyfriend tried to kill you.” Jack’s eyes darted over to Ianto and then up to the ceiling, not wanting to look at him. “I had to disarm him. You saw me for what I really was.”

“Jack…what are you -”
“You once called me a monster…and you were right.” Jack cut him off quickly. “I kill what stands in my way. I killed him because he stood in the way of you. You saw him as who you could have been after Lisa died. If you didn’t have Torchwood. He wanted revenge so he tried to kill you. I killed him. You took it badly. You withdrew…from me…from the whole team. You didn’t want this. Didn’t want me. You wanted to see who you could be without us. You wanted to know what you would have achieved if you never worked here.” Jack ranted as he walked around the room. “You made a decision to be retconned. Have your memory wiped of all this.” Jack stopped pacing and put his head against the wall. “You wanted to forget. Didn’t want me.” He repeated.
“I will always want you, Jack.” Ianto said softly standing up. He didn’t know where the words came from.
“How do you know that?” Jack snapped. “You can’t remember me!” He cried out angrily.
“I always will.” Ianto walked over to him slowly.
“You’ve told me that before. Right before you told me of your decision.” Ianto stopped. He stood there staring at Jack. His heart broke at the sight of him. He wanted to hold this man and make his tears disappear. “I think I should tell you this.” Jack turned around to face Ianto. “…you changed your mind.”

“What?” Ianto asked confused. “You just told me -”
“At the last minute you didn’t want to go through with it.” Jack tried to explain. “…but you’ve already left. I thought maybe you were just scared.” Ianto watched him as he walked over to the bed and sat down. He looked defeated. “You didn’t want to forget.” Jack’s eyes began to fill with tears. “You begged me, but I did it anyway…” Ianto placed his hand on Jack’s shoulder. “I lied to you. I told you I wouldn’t…I told you I would protect you. I’m so sorry.” Jack whispered. “I held you and slipped the pill in your mouth.” Jack let out a sob. “Your eyes shot up to mine and you looked so scared and betrayed, but you didn’t fight…you just fell asleep, and I left you.” Ianto pulled Jack over to him. Jack buried his face in Ianto’s chest and cried. Ianto held onto him tightly. He couldn’t imagine not wanting to hold Jack. Even though all the things Jack had said sounded hard and the memories of Lisa hurt him, when Ianto held Jack…everything seemed like it was going to be okay.

-

“I think your phone is ringing.” Ianto touched Jack’s arm gently. Jack was laying on his side across the bed. It was dark out and Jack had been exhausted from reliving all the painful memories…all the hurt he had caused Ianto. He was almost asleep when Ianto spoke.
“What?” Jack raised up on his elbow.
“Phone?” Ianto picked up Jack’s coat. “I hear something vibrating.” He put his hand inside one of the pockets and pulled out the phone.
“Oh.” Jack quickly sat up as Ianto handed it over.
“Who is it?” Ianto asked sitting down on the corner of the bed. The caller ID said ‘Gwen’.
“Nobody.” Jack turned it off and sat it down on the table. “Come here.” Jack held out his arms to Ianto.

Ianto laid down beside Jack and let the other man wrap his arms around him. They laid there just enjoying the feel of each other’s body pressed together.
“My head hurts.” Ianto whimpered and nuzzled Jack’s neck.
“I’m sorry.” Jack whispered as he kissed Ianto’s forehead gently. “Try to get some sleep.”
“I don’t want to.” Ianto mumbled entangling his legs with Jack’s. “I feel up.”
“Mmm…do you?” Jack ran his hands down Ianto’s back and then slowly to Ianto’s front caressing his growing erection. “Getting there.”

Jack pushed Ianto on to his back gently and then began to slowly kiss Ianto’s neck. Jack moved his mouth slowly taking his time to taste Ianto’s skin. Ianto responded by running his fingers up Jack’s back and into his hair, tugging gently. The kisses began to move up from Ianto’s neck to his jaw line. When Jack got to Ianto’s mouth he stopped. Jack stared down at him into his eyes waiting for a sign to continue.

“Kiss me.” Ianto whined trying to move his lips closer. Jack finally lowered his lips to his and kissed him starting slow and gently. Ianto began to get overwhelmed…wanting more. He wrapped his hands around the back of Jack’s neck mashing their lips painfully together. Jack sucked on the other’s tongue feverishly unaware of what was happening to Ianto.

Ianto trembled violently as a severe case of déjà vu washed over him. He felt like he was reliving a memory. Ianto almost began to cry as another feeling welled up in his stomach. It was as if he had just came home after being away for years. He no longer had that homesickness that often plagued him. Ianto belonged there, wrapped in the other’s arms. He couldn’t stop trembling as images started to form in his mind. Images of him and Jack together. Lips on tender flesh. Sweat glistening on Jack’s naked body. Their hips slamming together. Ianto moaning with pleasure.

“Are you alright?” Jack asked as he pulled back breaking their kiss.
“Mmm.” Ianto replied, as he ran his shaking hands through Jack’s hair. “I’m fantastic.” Jack smiled and slowly raised Ianto up to remove his shirt. He sat there straddling Ianto’s lower half staring down at his bare chest. It was an image he often dreamed of alone in his bedroom.
“Beautiful.” Jack whispered. He shifted his weight slightly and Ianto yelped as their erections grinded together. The look on his face made Jack kiss him on his forehead. Ianto’s trembling fingers pulled helplessly at Jack’s shirt. “I’ll do it.” Jack smiled and pulled his shirt up over his head and threw it down on the floor with the other.

Ianto stared into Jack’s eyes as he ran his hands up his chest. He was again hit with more images and voices. At the same time Jack began to leave open mouthed kisses down Ianto’s chest. He unzipped Ianto’s pants and pulled them all the way off. Jack did the same to himself so they were both completely naked.
“I’ve missed you so much.” Jack whispered lowering back down to kiss Ianto’s inner thigh. Ianto moaned loudly as Jack’s lips touched his swollen cock.
“Jack!” Ianto moaned and pushed back against the bed. Jack’s mouth slowly sank down the entire length of his erection. Ianto bucked his hip involuntarily as Jack’s mouth slid back up. Ianto grabbed at Jack’s hand and took the index finger into his mouth. He sucked it as Jack’s mouth slid down once more. “I want you.” Ianto shivered violently and bit down on Jack’s finger.

Ianto sat up slowly as Jack got to his knees. His eyes shot down to Jack’s throbbing penis which was moist at the tip. He took it in his hand and squeezed gently.
“Yan.” Jack inhaled sharply and closed his eyes. Ianto began pumping Jack’s erection and kissing Jack’s side. “Wait!” Jack gasped pulling back when Ianto’s hand began to pick up speed. “Roll over.” He said breathlessly. Ianto did as he was told and laid back down on his stomach. He felt the pressure of Jack’s body and then the wetness of the other man’s tongue along his back. Jack’s hand slid under Ianto’s stomach and lifted him up on all fours. Jack positioned himself behind him and took his cock in his hand. He began to tease Ianto’s opening, gently nudging him.
“Oh god, Jack!” Ianto’s voice was filled with want. Jack pushed firmly until the head of his cock was inside. They both moaned together. Ianto pressed back firmly as Jack shoved himself all the way in, the pain becoming pleasure as he entered.

“You feel so good.” Jack said through gritted teeth. He rocked himself in and out trying to find Ianto’s spot. He shifted his weight slightly and then once again bucked his hips.
“Jack!” Ianto shouted with pleasure. He grabbed onto the side of the bed and buried his face. “More.” His muffled voice begged. Jack obeyed by thrusting harder and faster. He reached around Ianto and grabbed onto his throbbing erection. “Christ!” Ianto arched his back and began fucking into Jack’s hand at the same time Jack was thrusting into him. He soon found himself yet again being engulfed in memories, but it was different this time. He could hardly breathe it was so powerful. Everything went black as it all rushed back to him. Ianto tried staying in the moment, but it was useless.

"I clean up your shit, no questions asked and that's the way you like it. When the last time you asked me about my life?"
"Execute her, or I'll execute you both!"
"If you're interested, I've still got that stopwatch."
"Hey kids, did you miss me?"
"Are you asking me out on a date?"
“Let it go!”

“Jack!” Ianto shouted when he could breathe again. They bucked their hips in unison once more and Ianto finally lost control. Jack rolled his head back as he felt Ianto’s whole body spasm and came. Ianto rolled over on his back, completely covered in sweat and his stomach covered in his own semen. Jack collapsed at his side trying to catch his breath, but not wanting to let go of the high. He pulled Ianto over to him and wrapped his arms loosely around his waist. “Jack.” Ianto said breathlessly. “Jack…I remember. I remember everything.”

Authors note: Next part will be posted in a few days. It will be set before Ianto left, and explains almost everything. It was originally part of this chapter, but it was too long.

Jack knew exactly where the teaboy was without opening his eyes. “Four, five, six…” He continued counting to humor him. “seven, eight…” Ianto was moving. “nine…ten…” Jack smirked. “Ready or not here I come!” He opened his eyes and spun around.

Jack slowly walked up the steps. He smelled the air to make sure he was on the right track. Ianto’s scent was unlike any other…he could pick him out of a crowd in an instant. “You moved again!” Jack said as he walked into the greenhouse.
“You cheated!” Ianto yelled standing straight up, a fern giving him unwanted cover. “You always cheat!”

- Part Two -

"Long And Lonely Nights."

Sometimes Ianto would have nightmares. He would dream about being chased by creatures with sharp teeth and screwed up faces or about cannibals “tenderizing” him with baseball bats. There was always the same ending to each dream. The same figure would turn up and rescue him. He could never see the figure’s face and the voice was always muffled…until now.

After he let Jack walk away he wondered around the streets of London and soon found himself at the same coffee shop where he first saw him. The coffee shop where he frequently visited with Maggie and other colleagues. He didn’t order anything and sat down at his usual table by the window and watched the people coming and going. Time went by and Ianto placed his head in his hands. He had so many questions. What did he do those four missing years?
“Ianto!” cried a voice from the other side of the glass window. “Ianto!” He slowly lifted his head and saw Maggie bouncing up and down trying to get his attention. “Pub!” She shouted again.

Four hours later Ianto was completely drunk. It was dark out and he couldn’t control the volume of his voice.
“I CANNOT REMEMBER HIM, YA KNOW?” He shouted to Maggie as they made their way out the door. He had been telling her about the mysterious Jack.
“That’s really really really really really weird!” Maggie began laughing hysterically. Ianto missed curb and went down into a puddle of rain that had collected while they were inside.
“oops!” Ianto whispered. He sat there in the water.
“Did you wet yourself?” Maggie laughed almost falling over.
“I need to go home.” Ianto whimpered trying to get to his feet.
“C’mon matey, arrrgh!” Maggie pulled him to his feet and helped him get into a waiting taxi.

Fifteen minutes later Maggie was pushing him out the taxi. “You can do it!” She yelled encouraging him. Ianto stumbled out and up to his door. “BYEEEE!” She yelled as the taxi drove off. Ianto started fumbling with his keys. His coordination was completely shot so it took him a good while to get the door open. When he finally was inside and shut the door behind him, he did a little victory dance which resulted in him tripping over his own feet. He decided where he landed in his living room was a good enough place to sleep.

“You're the biggest monster of them all!” He heard himself saying. “Jack needs me!” voices came rushing at him. “In your dreams, Ianto. In your sad wet dreams where you're his part-time shag” said a voice he didn’t recognize. Now he was laying down in the same room where he was beaten with a baseball bat. Pieces of meat were all over the place. He heard gun shots and looked up. It was him. It was Jack! “Oh Captain, my captain…”

Now he was standing in a huge place he never saw before. He looked over at the people entering the room. Jack was walking with a woman he didn’t know. Ianto rushed towards him and Jack pulled him into his arms. The hug turned into a kiss.

Now they were in a different room. It seemed to be somebody’s bedroom. Ianto was being pushed back on the bed by Jack’s firm kiss. He was trying desperately to rid Jack of his clothing.
“Ianto.” Jack said slowly. “Look at me.” Ianto stopped fighting with Jack’s clothing and did as he was told. Jack put his hands gently on Ianto’s face and stared at him.
“I love you.” Ianto whispered without thinking. Jack leaned in to give Ianto another kiss, but he couldn’t. Ianto was slipping…falling away from him into darkness. He heard Jack’s voice calling out to him. “Let it go.” -

“Oh god!” Ianto jerked and quickly sat up. He was drenched in sweat still laying on the living room floor. Buzz buzzzzz…Ianto’s jacket was vibrating. He took the phone out quickly and answered. “Hell-”
“Oh thank god you’re alive!” Maggie’s voice yelled.
“Lower your voice!” Ianto hissed as he rubbed his eyes with his free hand.
“I’m so sorry about last night! I should have made sure you got inside before leaving!” Maggie was still talking too loudly. “I kept worrying that you passed out outside your door and somebody came and killed you!”
“Nobody killed me, Mags.” Ianto tried standing up and quickly became aware of his erection. “uh…I’ll call you back.” He quickly slammed his phone shut and tossed it on the couch. “Well this is different.”

-

“Jack where are you?” Gwen’s voice asked in his ear piece. “Tosh told me what happened. Come back to the hub and we can talk about this!”
“There’s nothing to talk about Gwen. I’m fine.” Jack lied.
“Then where are you?” She asked sternly. “Are you in Lond-”
“Can’t talk now Gwen. I’m busy.” Jack quickly turned off his ear piece and took it out. He didn’t have time for all these questions. He had to make sure Ianto only knew his name and nothing more. Jack didn’t want to have Ianto go through being retconned again. He seemed to have a good life with good friends and didn’t want to take that away from him. Plus...he just wanted to watch him for awhile. Was that so bad?

He had followed Ianto and his female companion to a pub and waited outside for what felt like forever. When they finally came out of the pub they both were completely drunk. Jack heard Ianto yelling about not remembering and then falling over a few times. He had never seen Ianto act like that before. It made Jack smile and his heart ache. He followed the taxi to Ianto’s house. Now he knew where he lived. Ianto fumbled to get inside and Jack drove off to find a place to watch and wait. He parked a few building back not too close, but still close enough to see the front door. He wanted to know if Ianto was okay…if he made the right decision.

-

After taking a cold shower and having a cup of coffee, Ianto thought it would be a good idea to take a walk to clear his head. He knew when he came back he’d have to call his parents and ask about Jack, but didn’t know how to ask it. “Hey mom and dad! Was I ever kidnapped by cannibals or had a boyfriend that liked to play with guns and called himself Captain?" That wouldn’t do. He put on his jeans, long sleeved shirt, and converse and left.

It had just finished storming again and there was little puddles all over the place. It had that nice after rain smell that Ianto loved. He was almost at the corner of the street when he noticed a big black SUV with a man asleep inside. Ianto was intrigued by the sight and started walking faster to get a better view of the man. He tried to keep himself from banging on the window when he realized who it was.

Knock…knock…knock!
Jack stirred when Ianto started gently knocking on the glass. He quickly sat up straight when he realized what was going on. Ianto gestured for him to roll down the window. Jack slowly obeyed.
“We need to talk.” Ianto said firmly. Jack nodded and stepped out. “My place is down here.”
“Okay…” Jack exhaled deeply and followed Ianto.

When Jack stepped inside Ianto’s apartment it was completely different than the apartment Jack pictured Ianto having. It wasn’t as neat and organized as he thought it would be…as he remembered it. There was actually dishes in the sink and magazines on the couch. This apartment also had decorations on the walls which seemed to be from all over the world.
“You like kabuki?” Jack asked nodding towards a mask on the wall.
“Yeah…I got that from Kyoto.” Ianto sat down on the arm of his couch studying Jack.
“You went to Japan?” Jack smiled brightly. “You went to all these places?” He gestured to all the other foreign items around him.
“Yeah.” Ianto nodded.
“I wanted to take you…” Jack said quietly wishing he had kept that comment to himself.
“I had this dream.” Ianto cleared his throat before going on. “You were in it.”
“Was I?” Jack smirked. “When did you have this dream?” Jack sat down in a chair across from him.
“Last night.” Ianto told Jack of his dream, but left out the part of them kissing.
“Is that why you think you know me? Because I was in a few of your dreams?” Jack stood up and put his hands in his coat pockets.
“I know I know you…” Ianto tried to find the right words. “I was in an accident…I can’t remember a few years of a my life, but...God, do you know how that feels?”
“Yes.” Jack said sternly. “I really do.”
“Were we together?” Ianto asked studying Jack’s face.
“Yes.” Jack nodded.
“In what way?” Ianto stood up.
“In every way.” They stood there staring at each other in silence. “I better go.” Jack finally said.

“I have more questions.” Ianto followed Jack to the door. “Wait!” Ianto ran over to his table and grabbed the book their picture was hiding in. “When was this taken?” Ianto asked showing Jack the picture.
“Where did you find this?!” Jack grabbed the picture from him.
“In this book.” Ianto showed him.
“Where did you find THAT?!” Jack grabbed the book from him as well.
“It was with my stuff at my parent’s house.” Ianto didn’t understand why Jack was getting so upset.
“That can’t be right.” Jack put both items in his pocket. “I really have to go now.”
“I’m coming with you!” Ianto followed him out the door.
“No.” Jack turned around to stop him. “You can’t.” He put his hands up inches away from Ianto’s chest.
“I want to know what happened to me those four years, and you seem to be a big part of that.” Ianto pushed past him. “I’m coming with you.” He snapped before Jack could argue and continued to walk towards the SUV.

-

“Tosh? Gwen? Owen?” Jack had his earpiece on and wanted answers.
“JACK!” Tosh’s voice answered. “Where have you been?”
“London.” Jack waited for Tosh to scold him.
“I told you Jack!” Tosh yelled. “You can really mess him up!”
“Too late for that. He has a picture.” Jack looked over at Ianto sitting in the passenger seat.
“What picture?” Tosh asked.
“Of me and him. He’s with me right now.” Jack tried to lower his voice.
“Does he remember?” Tosh’s voice sounded scared.
“Not real-”
“Wait! Where did he get a picture?” Tosh cut him off.
“Apparently at his parents house.”
“That’s not possible! We took everything that could remind him!”
“Then you tell me! How did this happen?” Tosh didn’t respond. “I’m bringing him with me.”
“Jack! NO!” Tosh protested.
“Not…there, but to Cardiff.” Jack’s eyes darted towards Ianto quickly.
“Is that wise?” Tosh asked trying to calm down.
“We’ll talk about it when I get there.” Jack growled.
“’Right Jack. I’ll see you then.”
“Bye.” Jack took out his earpiece and turned it off.
“That’s a tiny earpiece.” Ianto remarked. Jack smiled slightly and started up the car.

-

The whole three hour drive to Cardiff was filled with awkward silences and questions Jack was afraid to answer. He knew the answers, but didn’t want to risk him getting all his memories back. As he drove Jack started to question himself. If he doesn’t want Ianto to get his memories back then why is he bringing him to Cardiff? He didn’t know what he was planning on doing when he got there. Jack just couldn't bring himself to turn around and walk away from Ianto forever.

When they finally got to Cardiff Jack pulled into a hotel.
“What’s this?” Ianto asked looking around.
“I have to go somewhere…a place where you can’t go.” Jack looked over at him. “Stay here until I get back?” Ianto nodded.
“I’m not paying though.” Ianto shrugged. “No money.”
“I didn’t expect you to!” Jack smirked.

Jack got Ianto a room and walked him to his door.
“Here you are.” Jack opened the door for him. “Don’t go walking around too much. I need to find out what to do first.” Ianto nodded. “Wait for me…I’ll come back as soon as I can.”
“Alright.” Ianto smiled slightly. “I won’t go anywhere.”
“Do you trust me?” Jack asked suddenly. Ianto was caught off guard by the question.
“I don’t think I should, but I do…I trust you, sir.” Jack hearing those words come from those lips was almost too much for him. He pulled Ianto to him and hugged him tightly.
“I won’t let anything bad happen to you.” Jack whispered into his ear.
“Of course you won’t.” Ianto hugged him back. “You’re my captain!” Jack kissed his cheek.
“I’ll be back.” Jack suddenly knew what he had to do and nothing was going to stand in his way.

-

“We’re bringing him back.” Jack said loudly as he entered the hub. “I’m telling him everything.”
“Jack. You’re being selfish! Think about what he wants!” Gwen immediately said standing straight up.
“That’s right Jack. He wanted this!” Tosh added.
“Stop saying that!” Jack tried to keep himself from yelling.
“Then listen to us! It’s true. He wanted to leave.” Gwen started to raise her voice.
“NO HE DIDN’T!” Jack yelled back.
“Jack…” Gwen walked towards him.
“I know you think this is selfish, but I have to do it. I made a mistake.” Jack stopped to make sure they both were listening. “He didn’t want it…he changed his mind at the last minute. He didn’t want to leave.” Jack said quietly.
“What?” Gwen sat down. She was completely stunned.
“I have to go. He’s waiting for me.” Jack turned around to leave not waiting for their reply. “And Gwen what did I tell you? Go home. You’re eight months pregnant. You should be resting.” and with that Jack left.

“Truth or dare!” Ianto said gleefully as he walked into Jack’s office.
“Dare.” Jack quickly replied.
“You always choose dare!” Ianto whined. Jack just shrugged in response. “I’m all out of dares!” Ianto sat down on the edge of Jack’s desk.
“I can think of a few.” Jack smiled.
“I’m not surprised.” Ianto smiled back. “It’s frightening just thinking about what goes on in that head.” Ianto ran his fingers through Jack’s hair.
“You should be very afraid.” Jack rose up from his chair and leaned over Ianto. “How about some hide-and-seek?”
“What?” Ianto couldn’t help, but laugh slightly.
“Without a few pieces of clothing…” Jack whispered in Ianto’s ear.
“What pieces?” He whispered back.
“All of them.”

- Part One -
"I've Waited For You"

It had been three years since Jack last saw Ianto. Even though it’s been so long not a moment went by that Jack didn’t think about him. Not a moment that he stopped hoping they would see each other again. And now here they are.
"Do I know you?" Ianto asked again.
The words cut into Jack and he found it hard to find words. People were pushing past him trying to exit the coffee shop he was standing in. "Uh…"
"You look familiar." Ianto squinted as he tried to place where he knew him from.
"Yan!" A woman sitting at a table close by yelled.
"Hold on." Ianto said to Jack and walked over to the woman holding two cups of coffee. "I’m pretty sure I know you fro…" Ianto turned around and the mysterious man was gone.
"Who were you talking to?" The woman asked. The question was left unanswered as her phone rang. Ianto stood there looking around trying to find the familiar man as his companion talked quickly on her phone. "C’mon! We have to go. They are starting the meeting early!" As they quickly left the coffee shop and walked down the street Ianto was still looking around desperately for the man he had lost. Jack on the other hand watched the man he had found.

-

"Why doesn’t he remember?!" Jack asked himself as he quickly got inside the SUV.
"WHO?" Tosh asked startled. "What happened?" She could tell Jack was deeply troubled. "Where’s the coffee?"
"I ran into Ianto." Jack said quietly.
"WHAT?" Tosh practically yelled at him. "What do you mean you ran into Ianto?"
"At the coffee shop. I didn’t think he’d be in London." Jack started the car making sure not to look over at Tosh. He didn’t know what to do with himself.
"And he didn’t remember?" She calmed down trying to think. "Usually people who come across something that played such a big part of…the pill can be tripped by…" She got quiet.
"WHAT?" It was his turn to yell. "They usually remember don’t they? They come across something and it triggers their memory."
"Yeah…" Tosh got quiet again. "Sometimes…"
"Do you think he was acting like he didn’t know me?" Jack asked dreading the answer.
"Well…perhaps. But that doesn’t sound like him. Maybe…he doesn’t want to remember, Jack. Or maybe you weren’t enough to trigger it?" Tosh continued rambling, but Jack didn’t hear any of it. Something had to be wrong with Ianto. "Jack? Jack? Jack are you okay?" Tosh was looking at him closely.
"Yeah I’m fine…" Jack stared at the steering wheel.
"You’re acting like it’s a bad thing." He looked over at her. Tosh could immediately read how he was feeling. "He wanted this to happen. It’s a good thing he doesn’t remember." Tosh tried to be sympathetic, but couldn’t lie to him.
"I should get you back." Jack quickly said.
"Get me back? You’re coming back with me!" Tosh said firmly. "We got what we needed here in London. We go back now. Both of us."
"Yeah…of course." He lied.

-

The clock on Ianto’s bedside table said 11:45. He’d just gotten home from work. He knew he should take a quick shower and get to bed because of all the things he had to get done at work the next morning, but he couldn’t. He had to figure out where he’d seen that man before. It had been bothering him all day. He could barely pay attention at work. He knew he saw him before. He knew it. Did they used to be friends? Did he see him in a newspaper or magazine? Something. He knew him. He knew his face and his voice. He began searching his apartment. He didn’t know what he was looking for since all the things that could help him was destroyed in the fire.

He went to his closet and stared blankly into it. Something suddenly hit Ianto. He went into his living room to his bookshelf and grabbed a random book off the shelf. He stared at the cover. He realized it was one that was at his parent’s house, though he didn’t remember reading it. He forgot he even had it. He flipped through it until something caught his eye. It was a picture.

The picture was stuffed between two pages of the book tightly. He only saw the back of it at first. Which had "Jack and Me" written in his own handwriting. He flipped it over quickly and was startled at what it shown. It was that man. Ianto walked backwards until he found his couch and sat down. It was that man and him. Together. That man had his arm around Ianto and their heads were pressed together. They looked…happy.

He studied the picture and found that he was holding the man’s other hand which was resting on his leg. "Jack." Ianto said to himself trying to remember when the picture was taken. "Jack." He repeated. He couldn’t believe what he was seeing. Why hasn’t any of his family members told him about a Jack? Had he kept him a secret from them? And if so why didn’t he say who he was earlier? Who was this man? He looked at the pages the picture was hiding between and began to read.

"Maybe a runaway boy will return this very day to his home, as the fog rises to cover the river. Maybe he'll forget his whole life, the hard times, the hunger, the betrayals of trust, as he stops on a corner, to drink in the morning. It's worth going home maybe everything's different."

-

Almost three years ago Ianto was in a terrible car accident which resulted in major memory loss. More than four years of his life was gone. He had been in a coma for almost a month. When he was in a coma his apartment caught fire destroying everything he owned. The only things that survived were a few items that he had at his parent’s house. He had nothing to define who he was. He didn’t know what sort of man he was. So when he was released from the hospital he had to get away. He decided to go everywhere he ever dreamed of going. He went to India, Japan, New Zealand, Brazil, New York, and other stops along the way. It was a perfect chance for him to start over…not like he had a choice. So he decided to find himself a small flat in London and start living life again.

Perhaps this Jack was one of the many people he knew in those missing four years. Maybe they dated briefly. He had to find out. He wrote down a note to call his parents in the morning to see if they knew anything about it and decided it was time to get to sleep. It was now past two in the morning. He stripped down to his underwear and took his usual sleeping pill. It would take a miracle to get him up and to work on time in the morning.

Ianto works for ATAT marketing in London. He is the assistant to Samantha Laurie. Though he’s only been working there for one and a half years, Samantha has put a lot of responsibility on his shoulders. Like making her coffee…which apparently was a big deal. Before Ianto she had a strict order from the gourmet coffee shop which took twenty minutes to get to. Since Ianto had come into her life she won’t drink anything but his special blend he made for her. With great coffee comes great responsibility!

Samantha was in Paris for her friend’s wedding which meant that Ianto had to sit in on all the meetings and then update her via email and/or phone. However she is due back the very day that Ianto is late for work for the first time. Not only did he wake up late, but he got stuck in traffic and had a fight with the taxi driver. When he finally made it to Samantha’s office there was already signs of her being there. He went to the coffee marker in the small kitchen by her office and hurriedly began getting things ready for her.
"Shit!" Ianto swore as he spilled coffee across the counter. The coffee was twenty minutes late to Samantha’s desk. He poured it into her favorite mug and quickly carried it into her office. He jumped almost spilling it all over himself when he saw her already sitting at her desk typing away.

"It’s late." She said not looking up from the monitor.
"I…I’m very sorry." He quickly put it down in front of her.
"You have the next two weeks off." She stopped typing and stared down at the liquid inside her mug.
"What?" Ianto asked confused and shocked.
"I’m back." She looked up at him. "You were probably very busy when I was away. You get two weeks off." She expected him to smile and thank her.
"I don’t want it!" Ianto cried out as if he was physically hurt him.
"You look like shit! Do you even sleep?" Samantha brushed her black hair out of her face. "Take the two weeks off and come back refreshed!" She noticed Ianto about to protest again. "I don’t want to see you for two weeks!" She said sternly. "Maggie will fill in for you while you’re away." Ianto nodded and started to walk out of her office. "Wait!" Samantha stood up and walked to the other side of her desk. "Come here!" She held out her arms and Ianto walked over slowly and hugged her. "I’m doing this because I care about you!" She squeezed him. "Go get some sleep!…and do the Welsh not know how to say thank you?"
"Okay…" He broke away from her hug. "Thank you." He left her office defeated.

Ianto took his time collecting all the things he would need from his desk and left the building. As he made his way outside he heard his name being called. It was his companion from yesterday.
"Ianto!" The little redhead came running towards him tripping over a crack in the sidewalk.
"Hey Maggie." Ianto quickly caught her from falling.
"Samantha just called me and told me you were taking a few weeks off." Maggie looked worried. "Are you okay?"
"She’s making me take two weeks off…but I’ll be fine." Ianto frowned. "Extremely bored and lonely, but I’ll be fine."
"You can always call me and we can meet up at our coffee shop!" She smiled brightly as she bounced. "We could rent movies and -"
"Aren’t you late?" Ianto interrupted. Maggie’s eyes got big.
"Bollocks!" She ran past him towards the building. "Bye Yannie!" Ianto smiled to himself as he watched her run inside. He liked Maggie. She was like a little sister to him and she was always bright and cheerful. As he stood there thinking his eyes wondered to the other side of the street.
"That’s a nice coat." Ianto thought. His eyes traveled upward to the face of the greatcoat’s owner. "Jack?"

-

Jack stood across the street from the building that Ianto had rushed into. He knew he wasn’t supposed to be there, but he didn’t care. He wanted to make sure Ianto was alright. Jack wanted to know Ianto was happy. He stood there and wondered what Ianto did in that big building. His mind wondered off to seeing Ianto sitting behind a desk with various people coming to ask for his opinions on important matters.
"Yes…this is the better life for him." Jack thought. He lost track of the time just day dreaming about Ianto, which is no different than any other day. He could almost hear Ianto’s voice calling his name…wait. Ianto’s voice is calling his name.
"Jack!" His eyes went straight to where the calls were coming from.
"Ianto." Jack said out loud. He almost ran towards, but then stopped himself. "Oh god." He thought. "What have I done?"

He turned quickly and began walking as fast as he could down the street away from Ianto. He knew Ianto couldn’t cross because of the traffic, but it couldn’t hold him off very long.
"What do I do?" Jack thought. "His memories are back. Should we retcon him again?" He pulled his coat shut and continued walking quickly.
"Jack!" Ianto yelled. He was now behind him and closing in. Jack had to find out how much he remembered so he turned down an alley and waited for him.
"Jack?" Ianto said again out of breath as he rounded the corner into the alley. It was dark and he couldn’t see where he had went.
"I’m here." Jack stepped into the light. "How much do you know?" He immediately asked. The question caught Ianto off guard and Jack noticed it.
"How much do I know?" Ianto out loud to himself. "I know your face. I know your voice…I know how you like your coffee." He arched his eyebrow at the last one.
"Do you know why?" Jack asked stepping towards him.
"No." Ianto shook his head. Jack turned as if to walk away. "Who are you?" Jack stopped walking. "How do I know you?"
"It doesn’t matter." Jack said sternly with his back still to him.
"I want to know who you are!" Ianto cried out walking around him to look him in the eyes.
"Just forget about me." Jack shook his head.
"I can’t." Ianto pleaded.
Jack lowered his voice to a whisper. "You already have."

“Ianto.” Jack repeated growing agitated. “Ianto!”
“Shhh.” Ianto replied from behind his desk. He was leaned back with his feet up reading a book.
“Could you get me some coffee please?” Jack asked politely. Ianto cleared his throat and pointed to the sign sitting on his desk. Jack growled as he read, “Out to lunch.”
“Be back in ten minutes, sir.” Ianto said turning a page quickly.
“You aren’t out to lunch!…this is ridiculous!” Jack pouted putting his hands on his hips. “Can’t you just -”
“Sir, you’re being extremely rude!” He shut his book and set it down in his lap. “Can’t you do it yourself?”
“but…you make it better.” Jack said innocently.
“Better?” Ianto smiled slightly wanting Jack to say more.
“I need you to make my coffee. I can’t do it right.” Jack mumbled under his breath.
“What?” Ianto asked loudly. Jack was forced to repeat what he said louder. “Okay! I’ll get your coffee!” He quickly stood up. Jack smiled and grabbed Ianto’s arm.
“Thank you.” He pulled Ianto to him and kissed him gently. Ianto grabbed his “out to lunch” sign.
“Worked perfectly.” Ianto said to himself as he walked away to make Jack’s coffee.

“We are crossing the street!” Jack yelled over the noise of traffic. “Take my hand!”
“Oh.” Ianto smiled and as Jack put his hand out for him to grab. “Okay.” He took Jack‘s hand.
“C’mon.” Jack carefully lead him across the busy street, hands clasped tightly together. Ianto couldn’t help, but smile the whole way. As they got to the other side their hands stayed entwined as Jack lead them down the busy sidewalk to the waiting SUV.

“Both of you…just calm down!” Gwen shouted trying to take control of the situation. “What exactly happened here?” She looked from Ianto to Jack trying to find an answer. She walked in on them arguing with papers thrown everywhere.
“He….” Ianto began.
“DID NOTHING WRONG.” Jack quickly said cutting him off. He watched as Ianto rolled his eyes with his hands on his hips.
“Let him finish, Jack.” Gwen said stepping towards Ianto.
“He…threw the papers all over the place…” He motioned around to the mess of papers everywhere. Gwen looked at him confused. “Mess!” He said with more arm movements. “They were in order.” Ianto said quietly feeling stupid.
“He was taking too long.” Jack said innocently folding his arms.
“Now it’s going to take twice as long!” Ianto snapped.
“I’ll help!” Gwen smiled at Ianto trying to calm him down. “Jack will too!”
“Here.” Jack gathered a small pile of papers off the floor and threw them at Ianto.
“That’s it!” Ianto yelled throwing his arms up in defeat and walking away.
“He’s so cute angry!” Jack said loudly, following him.
“I’ll leave this here!” Gwen yelled after him. She looked around the room and smiled. “Silly boys.”

“You can’t out run me.” Jack was barely visible standing on the other side of his desk.
“I never said I could, sir.” Ianto smirked as he straightened up, fixing his jacket.
“You thought it.” Jack mimicked Ianto‘s movements. “Ready?”
“Always.” Ianto whispered.

They both shot for the door. Ianto’s hand was on the doorknob, but Jack was too quick. He was standing in front of him with his back against the door keeping Ianto inside.
“Damn.” Ianto stood back defeated.
“I win!” Jack said playfully. “It’s MY turn.” Jack smiled brightly and pulled Ianto to him by his cuffs.
