Save him

Jack was teaching a class when he got the text. His phone pinged and his hand shot to his pocket "sorry that's mine" he told the giggling class. "You're not supposed to have your phone on in class sir!" Carys shouted out. "I know i know" jack laughed as he clicked the phone on. He froze at the name and the text on the screen.

I'm fine x ~ ianto

He allowed himself to smile slightly at the small kiss, before he frowned. Something seemed off he had no reply for ages and then also he got was this? He wanted to call ianto straight away, he wanted to rush to his house. Instead he sent a text.

I'm coming over straight after school... make sure you're home x ~ jack

He slipped his phone into his pocket and continued teaching.

Instead of sitting in his classroom marking or playing the piano like he usually would, at three o'clock, Jack drove to Ianto's flat in the small car he was renting. Jack hesitated before knocking on Ianto's door. Ianto answered it straight away, he was wearing a T-shirt and jeans and looked rather like any other normal human. "Hi..." jack said from the doorway "are you.... okay?". Ianto gave him a stiff smile and a nod "I'm fine jack I told you. I've just been reflecting on some things... I went to a club that's why my car was there... I Uh met this guy we were drunk you can guess what.... what happened so uh... y-yeah I-I'm fine" Ianto's voice shuddered and broke as tears welled up in his eyes "oh god.... I'm sorry". He turned away from the door in shame his shoulders shaking slightly as he tried to suppress his sobs. Jack stepped through the front door "ianto ... what happened?" He asked, though judging by iantos previous words he had a horrible niggling suspicion that he knew. Ianto allowed himself to be led over to his sofa "I-it was .... n-normal at first yanno... d-drunk sex how it normally goes ... I mean the place was dingy but I was drunk so... I don't think I cared. So the next morning I - I woke up and ... well there was this woman apparently she had j-joined us b-but I couldn't remember... they ... they didn't use protection ... a-and I was tied up.... that's sort of okay for me ... it wasn't the first time.... b-but then they wouldn't untie me... I said I needed to go but ... they wouldn't let me ... said the fun didn't need to be over... I said no jack... I really did ... I screamed it in fact but he..... he .... and they... but I didn't want it... not that time... it hurt.... took ages to heal... it's still healing... I ... it was horrible." Ianto sobbed into his hands. Jack swiped away a tear that was trailing down his own cheek as he reached out to touch ianto. Ianto froze and shook slightly "ianto" jack began hoarsely but still soothingly "it's only me... look at me... see it's me jack ... you know I would never hurt you ... look at you... you don't deserve this" he soothed until ianto finally relaxed allowing himself to lean against jack. "That's right" jack smoothed a hand over iantos hand "breathe ... okay ...  now I want you to tell me what happened... properly... and anything I should avoid..." he murmured. "W-what do you mean... are you planning on... I don't want to..." ianto looked down at himself worriedly biting his lip. Jack's eyes widened "no ... god no I would never... I just mean what did they call you?... any names I should avoid?". Ianto took a breathe "right Uhm yeah sorry I um... I don't know why I thought that .... but I don't think you'd call me any of the things they called me anyway cause it's not true". Jack gave ianto a small squeeze "better to be safe than sorry" he told him. Ianto smiled weakly "y-yeah well.... he called me gorgeous and ... and pretty but ... as I said you'd never say that... he also called me pumpkin ... but not in an endearing way." Jack smiled at ianto encouragingly "well done" he praised though he couldn't help but feel a little upset... did ianto really think he wasn't beautiful and gorgeous? "Anything else I should know?" Jack questioned. Ianto hesitated "well I... I don't much like my hair being pulled anymore... but you don't need to know that". They sat still and silent for a while before jack spoke again "do you think you'll be able to tell me what happened ... kind of walk me through the night?" He murmured. Ianto nodded. "So... I was sat in the corner of the room I'd been drinking for a while so I was pretty drunk... and this guy came up to me and he just called me pretty and gorgeous and told me not to be shy.... before I knew it we were in a taxi and he... was like yanno kinda not kissing my neck just sucking .... it was rough I guess and then he took me into a dingy house and he threw me into the bed... I vaguely remember being tied up but ... not much else and then ... you know what happened after I woke up... and he.... forced my legs apart.... at that point I just gave up screaming..." he trailed off, sobs wracking his body again. "Hey hey.... it's okay ianto look I'm here shhh I'm here it's okay I'm proud of you ... you'll get through this... I'll help you ... shhh little one" he soothed, rubbing small calming circles on Ianto's back. He hadn't even meant to call ianto 'little one' but it seemed to help the Welshman relax. Jack leant back on the sofa as ianto slumped against him, still snivelling but seeming very tired. Jack continued to shift until they were practically laying down. Ianto curled his fist into jack's shirt "jack" he mumbled. "Yeah?" Jack replied. Ianto looked up in surprise "sorry didn't mean to say that out loud" he muttered "jus' glad you're here... knew you would come save me..." ianto paused "is it okay if I sleep?... haven't slept much since ... yanno". Jack smiled softly, "go to sleep yan... you don't need to ask" he murmured as ianto snuffled sleepily into his chest. Jack was determined to help his friend... he hated seeing ianto like this. He felt his own eyes drifting closed as his breathing evened out. He hadn't realised how tired he was, after not sleeping and worrying about ianto. But ianto was here now... ianto might not be okay... but he was here and safe.
