I Can't Remember To Forget You

(BACK INSIDE THE HUB)

Tosh and Owen both snap their heads up when Ianto storms off, a flustered Jack following behind. They share a knowing glance and both silently agree to give Gwen a stern talking to.

Owen stands from his desk and walks to where he can see Gwen walking back from Jack's office. He gives a low growl.

Tosh looks down at her hands and shakes her head. Something happened. Was it Gwen? Was it Jack? What did he do now?

"What the FUCK Gwen?!"

Gwen stopped in her tracks, how dare Owen talk to her that way! Appauled, she scowled at the doctor. "WHAT."

"Thats exactly what I'm asking! Ianto doesn't run off for just any reason does he? He's been back three days barely, and you've been treating him like trash."

"This isnt my fault! Jack can't seem to realise Ianto is all wrong for him!"

"Oh you bitch."

"EXCUSE ME."

"JACK DOESNT WANT YOU GWEN. YOU MARRIED SKANK."

Their tyrade was interrupted by Tosh, who couldn't stand any more of their bickering, "Stop! STOP." Of course, she was the only one who noticed Jack and Ianto's arrival.

"Gwen, my office now!" Jack all but growled. He squeezed Ianto's hand and headed to his office, Gwen in tow with her gloating aswell. But Ianto wasn't worried, he'd been more than reasurred just some minutes ago, and Gwen's shit eating smirk would be wiped off her face soon enough. He allowed himself a small smile at the thought.

Tosh gifted Ianto with a shy smile and went back to work. Owen glared but slouched back as well, giving Ianto a reasurring pat on the shoulder. Very unlike him.

Soon Gwen was on suspension for a week and had to apologize to the entire team, but specifically Ianto, all to go with her new cell cleaning duties. She no longer boasted about her being the heart of Torchwood. And Ianto and Jack were even all that much more unbearable during work, or so Owen complained.

"Oi! Run off to your office Harkness! I don't want to see you and tea-boy groping each other! For fucks sake..." But he still wore a slight playful grin.

The Doctor had come by to pay a visit, new Timelord around and all. Offered to take Ianto to see the worlds out there. But he politely refused. Perhaps another time, but for now, he was needed at Torchwood. And with Jack.

"Yes! Of course! Of course! Well, great to meet you all! Call any time, but places to go, things to see! Farewell Jack, until next time Torchwood!" The Doctor bounced about, and soon, left. Not without Iantos coffee (my was that heavenly he'd said) nor without apology to Jack, not wrong, no. He would visit every now and then.

Martha came over too. She overjoiced at Ianto's revival! And spent time with the team chatting with a now more understanding Gwen and happily correcting Owen's sloppy work. Much to his annoyance. Jack was pleased to see his team all closer, going out to the pub, nattering about lunch etc. Of course, there was always work too. The Rift seemed to never rest. But they were Torchwood. And they kept on.

"Jack?" Ianto mumbled into his Captain's chest. They were currently on the hub's couch, resting between weevil sightings.

"Mmm?"

"I love you."

Jack couldn't help the wide grin he felt growing. Ianto loved him. Him. "I love you Jones, Ianto Jones. So much." He messed with his engagement band around his finger and felt a spurge of warmth flicker and blossom in his chest. "I love you so much soon to be Harkness-Jones." And both men couldn't help but giggle. Giggle.
