Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood or Doctor Who.
Summery: Ianto Jones isn’t an ordinary Human. He needs answers. Only the right kind of Doctor can give him those answers.
Authors Notes: This chapter will have Jack/Ianto with one-sided Tosh/Ianto, one-sided Gwen/Jack, Tommy/Tosh, Andy/Tosh, one-sided Owen/Tosh (On Owen’s side) Also skipping Sleeper mainly because I think the episode ran okay on its own. There will be little flashback scenes. But Tosh is the star in this episode.
“Hello, Tosh?” Ianto questioned into the phone. He had a sinking suspicion that he knew what she was doing but that was one of the reasons he was calling.
“Ianto! I’m coming just running a little late that’s all”
“I’m guessing you know what day it is then.” Ianto teased slightly as his suspicion where confirmed. I’m not jealous he told himself. I’m just concerned that’s all I lo-like Jack. She’s like a sister to me. His mind was chanting in his head.
“Why Ianto, is something out of the ordinary happening today that I don’t know about?”
“It’s Torchwood Tosh, of course something out of the ordinary is happening. It’s when nothing happens we should be worried” He joked, his voice turned serious, “what have you told Andy?”
“Nothing, Tommy and I are just friends that’s all, like I am with you and Owen.” Ianto bit his lip. That’s not good he thought to himself moving his phone to his ear, “right I’ll be in soon.” He nodded into the dial tone and sighed.
“What is it?” Jack questioned and he turned seeing Jack standing in the door way.
“It’s just…”
“She’ll be fine, Ianto.”
“It’s not Tosh I’m worried about.” He admitted honestly. He looked over at Jack, “when did she develop a crush on me?”
“Oh, I’d say about the time she found out about you.” Jack snaked his arm around Ianto’s waist and he leant back, “I knew you two where getting close and I could see a little hero worship in her eyes back then. Sort of like how Gwen has with me.”
“So you do know about it then.” Ianto said with a slight snort, “Was beginning to wonder,”
“How is it you notice someone else’s heroworshiper, but not your own?”
“Simple. I didn’t expect to have one.” Ianto admitted. He rubbed his arms slightly and Jack looked at him slightly concerned.
“How are you, Ianto?”
“I’m fine.”
“You haven’t been sleeping.” Jack pointed out.
“I don’t need to sleep.” He retorted. He didn’t want to get into this now.
“You might think you don’t, but what happens if your reflexes are off? What if you put one of the others in danger? You’ve died more often in the last month than for as long as I’ve hired you.”
“You don’t know that.”
“I do.” Jack said softly as he put his arms around Ianto, “If you don’t talk to me… why don’t you give Martha a call?”
“I’m fine, Jack.” Ianto was saved as the alarms sounded echoing Tosh’s arrival.
~*^*~
Jack looked over at Ianto something was clearly on his mind. Yet he wasn’t sure what. He knew he wasn’t coping. The team was starting to pick up on it as well. Tosh and Owen had both come up to him concerned about the Welsh man. (Though Owen would deny it if asked)
“This time tomorrow Tommy will be back in his own time.” Jack commented deciding to break the silence between them.
“If you were given the option by the doctor would you go back?” Ianto’s voice was so soft Jack nearly missed the question.
“Truthfully? No. The things I’ve seen, the people I’ve met-“ Jack trailed off unsure whether or not to say you or not then desiding against it. It wasn’t the time, “I wouldn’t change it for the world… what about you?” Ianto looked at him slightly surprised
“What do you mean?”
“I know you’re technically in your own time but would you go back? To before the Doctor, with Rose, Mickey Mouse and your Aunt?”
“No.” Jack knew he looked surprised, “I admit there’s been some bad, but the good out ways it and truthfully? Like you I wouldn’t have changed anything of the last couple of years.”
Jack couldn’t help but pull him into a kiss. Without realising it, it had been exactly what he had wanted- no needed to hear. Ianto wouldn’t be leaving any time soon. Leaving him anytime soon.
~*^*~
“Why do I have to go back?” Tommy inquired, “None of you know what it’s like. What they’re going to expect of me. I’m 24 years old.”
“I know Tommy,” Ianto spoke up, “and believe me if I could go back in your place I would. I’d switch with you in an instant” He ignored the looks of surprise that the team was giving him. He could deal with it later, “but I can’t, I’m so very sorry but you have to do it.” He stole a look at Tosh.
“Do it for Tosh,” He winced when he felt the punch come flying at him.
“You bastard. What do you know about this? How do you know anything about this?”
“Because I’ve lived through it.” His voice soft, a gasp was heard, though he wasn’t sure who it was. “Right through the war. I was there.” Both times left unsaid but he suspected the team knew what he meant, “and if I could I’d go through it again for you. But Tommy- you have to do this.”
~*^*~
Jack looked over the hub up in his office, Ianto was giving Tosh a hug while Gwen was talking to her. Jack knew that he needed to bring in reinforcements. Ianto’s self sacrificing was worrying him. Topped with his non-sleeping and the fact that he wasn’t talking to anyone about it. Jack sighed and looked at his cellphone Ianto was not going to like him for this but he knew he needed to do this. He dialled a number and waited patiently for an answer.
“Hello Nightingale? I need your help.”
To Be Continued.
