A/N: Final part of this. Jack's back, has Ianto moved on? I know this has probably been done to death but I hope I've done it a bit different and if not? Hope you enjoy it!

Ianto hates himself for what he’s just done and yet he knows, given the choice he’d do it again. After he leaves he goes home to the flat he shares with Catrin. She’s home, of course. As he comes in she’s getting ready to go to bed. “I was wondering when you’d be home.” She says smiling and kissing him on the cheek. Ianto merely smiles at her and nods when she asks if he’s coming to bed. He sorts himself out and eventually climbs into bed. She rolls over to him and starts to kiss him. He kisses her back but inside he knows it’s not her he’s kissing. Even when he’s not with Jack he’s in Ianto’s thoughts. It feels wrong to him. He imagines the soft stubble that should be rubbing against his by this time in the day. Catrin’s hands as they move over him are too small, too soft and Ianto longs to feel the large, warm hands belonging to Jack. As Catrin’s mouth wraps around him he wishes it was Jack’s. Jack who could take him all the way and knowing exactly what Ianto needs. Ianto falls asleep with Catrin in his arms, but his dreams are full of someone else.

He wakes up early and Catrin is still asleep. He gets up feeling guilty for the previous night and dresses. He kisses Catrin softly and heads to work. Jack isn’t up when Ianto arrives at 6 and Ianto gets on with some paperwork. When by 8:50 Jack still hasn’t appeared he puts on some coffee before heading up to Jack’s office. Jack is fast asleep at his desk and the empty bottle of sleeping tablets in front of him explains why. Ianto crosses over to Jack and shakes him. “Sir?” He shakes him a little harder and sees Jacks eyes stir beneath the lids. “Sir?” Jack’s eyes still again. He leans closer and speaks softer. “Jack, wake up.” The captain’s eyelids flicker open and he looks into Ianto’s eyes. Pain seems to flash across his face and he looks away. Ianto squats down beside Jack. “How many of these did you take?” he asks.
“Too many” Jack murmurs, rubbing his head.

“Why?”
“I needed to sleep.” He lifts his eyes back to the younger man’s. “I needed to forget, at least for one night.” Ianto nods and stands, enquiring whether Jack would like some coffee. Jack nods in response, “and some painkillers if we have any.” Ianto heads downstairs and sees Tosh at her desk. He greets her and she smiles, seeming genuinely happy for once. She accepts his offer of coffee and he pours her a mug as he pours one for Jack. After giving Tosh her drink he heads back up the stairs coffee and aspirin in hand. As he reaches the top he hears Owen and Gwen entering the hub.

He knocks on the office door and at no reply pushes the door open. He sets the mug and tablets on the desk and notes Jack must be downstairs. “I’ll leave the coffee on the desk Sir” He calls.
Jacks voice drifts up into the office. “Hang on Ianto.” He climbs the ladder emerging shirt and t-shirt in his hand. A lump forms in Ianto’s throat at the sight of Jack’s naked torso and he looks away. Jack pulls on the white t-shirt and sits on the edge of his desk.
“Ianto.” Ianto looks towards him but doesn’t quite make eye contact. “Look at me.” Jack instructs softly. Ianto does as he his asked and he looks at Jack, almost scared. “I’m sorry Ianto, about last night. It wasn’t fair on you or anyone.” Jack pulls on the shirt and starts to button it up. “I left you and I lost you and now you’re with someone else and I just have to accept that.” His hands pause halfway up his eyes lifting to Ianto’s once again, he sees the tears threatening the other man’s eyes and feels the intensity of his gaze, “However hard it is.”

Ianto doesn’t know what made him do it but he crossed over to where Jack sat and placed his hands on Jack’s knees. “I can’t escape you Jack.” He whispers. “You’re always here and when you’re not, you’re in my thoughts or in my dreams and I can’t get away.” Ianto leans forward and catches Jack’s lips in a chaste kiss. He looks at Jack who doesn’t move, just looks at Ianto.
“You’re so perfect” he breathes and Ianto takes this as permission and leans forwards again, this time kissing Jack fully and moving forward to stand between Jack’s legs. There is desperation in the kissing as Ianto pulls Jack’s half buttoned shirt over his head along with the t-shirt underneath. One hand wraps in the captains hair as the other explores the skin of Jack’s back. Ianto’s hands find the familiar scar running down his back, the only imperfection on Jack’s body yet Ianto finds it beautiful and his fingers trace its path. Jack doesn’t respond much, allowing Ianto to take control, to take this as far as he wants. He shivers when Ianto nips along his jaw line and kisses Jack’s neck.

Ianto has his back to the door and is so absorbed with Jack that he doesn’t hear the door open and doesn’t hear the gasp. Jack however opens his eyes at the sound of the opening door and sees Gwen’s jaw drop. He alerts Ianto to her presence who turns and immediately starts to blush. “Yes Gwen?” Asks Jack as if everything were normal.
“Erm, Ianto, erm the hospital called for you, erm,”
“Spit it out Gwen” Jack orders impatiently
“It’s Catrin, she’s been in an accident on the way to work. They said you should get over there as soon as possible, and asked if you could call her parents.”
“What?” asks Ianto in shock.
“Tosh said she’ll drive you, she bringing her car around now” Ianto nodded dumbly and just left leaving Jack alone again.

Jack busies himself in work all day. The atmosphere in the hub if off with just him, Gwen and Owen and Jack is conscious he is snapping at them. When Tosh finally returns it’s late and Owen and Gwen have gone home. He almost leaps on her. “Well?” Tosh shakes her head her expression telling all. “Where is he?”
Tosh shrugs, “He said he wanted to be alone.” Jack doesn’t wait for more details, instead he pushes past her to search for Ianto. Eventually he finds him, sat on the roof staring out into the city. Jack slowly walks up to him. “Yan?” Ianto doesn’t move. “You want me to go?” Again Ianto doesn’t show any sign he’s heard Jack. Jack turns to leave, he only makes a few steps.
“Stay.” He stops and turns. Ianto is looking at him tears streaming down his face. “Please?”
Without even considering it Jack moves back towards Ianto and folds him into his arms as Ianto starts to break down in his arms. Jack holds Ianto tight allowing him to crumble. He looks out over Ianto into the night, pressing a kiss in Ianto’s hair.
