Jack didn't know when he would be coming back. He assumed he would return when ianto had moved on but ... perhaps he would never return. "Can I check your ticket please sir?" A stern looking airport worker enquired. "Uhm yeah sure let me just.... as he handed over the tickets, his phone buzzed. He glanced down at the message in confusion.

It's Tosh, get yourself back here now. Ianto is distraught.

Jack huffed after the phone. What did tosh know? How had she even gotten his number?

Back at the school the sleepover party was beginning with a disco. Tosh clicked her phone off hitting it against her palm restlessly. She had taken ianto's phone and copied jack's number over to her own. She slipped Ianto's phone across the table to it's former position next to the Welshman before he could notice it was missing. Sighing, she looked back over at ianto. He was sat with his head on the table, not really noticing the world around him. She felt bad about what she was about to do without his consent but ... if they wanted jack back.... she snapped a picture of ianto and promptly sent it to jack.

Jack was standing in line to board the plane when his phone buzzed again. Tosh had sent him a picture? He opened it up and his heart sank. There was ianto, illuminated by the strobe lights of the disco, looking as miserable as jack felt. As the line surged forward a heavy feeling of dread settled in the bottom of his stomach. He couldn't do this. He turned on his heel and rushed out of the line. He pushed his way past people, ignoring their protests and rushed past the workers. "Excuse me sir..." one of them called. He spun round "I have to go ... I can't go on the flight I don't care about my bag" he babbled before continuing his mad dash out of the airport. He tapped his foot impatiently through the security procedures and was glad when he finally rushed across the car park to his car.

He was restless, even as he drove. He stopped at an off licence and picked up a rather expensive bottle of scotch. He also bought a gift bag, well they couldn't have the kids seeing the alcohol could they. Jack's heart fluttered nervously as he pulled up outside the school. What if ianto wasn't happy to see him? What if Ianto was angry? What if ianto kicked him out? What if.....

Ianto was sat staring down at the desk. Where was jack now? Was he on a plane? Maybe he had already left days ago. Ianto heard something being placed next to him, he glanced to the side. A gift bag. Probably another one of the students trying to cheer him up with gifts like tommy and joe had. "Hello stranger" came a voice from behind him. Ianto's stiffened, he knew that voice it was ... "Jack!" He stood hastily and turned to face jack "you didn't leave". Jack shook his head "well..." he admitted "I nearly did .... nearly boarded the plane but ... I came back... for you". Ianto frowned "when you say that you mean.... you came back for the school... your friends and for all of us?". Jack shook his head "no Ianto... I came back ... for you. Only you". Ianto blushed, looking down at the floor. Jack shifted his feet awkwardly "so you're not mad at me? Or..." he trailed off when ianto huffed a laugh "do I look mad?". Jack shrugged, momentarily forgetting how to breathe as ianto pulled him forward pressing a kiss to his lips. Eyes turned towards them, belonging to students and teachers alike. Jack chuckled and ianto groaned, dropping his head to jack's shoulder "I may have forgotten where we were" he admitted.

Ianto lifted his head after a moment, ignoring the stares and glanced at the bag "what's in there?" He questioned. Jack smiled "it's for you... have a look". Ianto peered into the bag, a smile spreading over his face "jaaack this one is expensive" he whined, still smiling. "Only the best for mr ianto jones.... right ... let's see if we can get through tonight" jack half joked. Ianto laughed "it's a school party ... not a haunted house". Jack nodded, "but we have to stay awake all night and you're already yawning" he pointed out. Ianto frowned for a second "unless..." he mumbled "jack. Would you say we're good influences?" He asked over the music. Jack shook his head. "Well then maybe we should ditch this party and head back to mine" the Welshman suggested. Jack hesitated "I don't know ianto .... I mean is there enough teachers here to-" jack was cut off by iantos tempting voice. "Well we can't drink the scotch here... and I've got some chocolates that won't eat themselves". Jack wavered "I don't know...." he muttered slowly. Ianto carried on, "well I've got movies and..." he lowered his voice and leant closer to jack "I got a new mattress the other day... I'm yet to ... test it out... perhaps you could give me a hand later on after a drink and maybe a movie". Jack bit his lip trying to decide, "that is very tempting" he mumbled. Ianto nodded, smirking "and it's not like we have a reputation to uphold" he reminded the american, who was beginning to blush slightly at ianto's boldness. Jack nodded, beginning to smirk "alright then ... I'm sure they'll be fine without us". Ianto nodded happily, "I just need to get my coat... I put it in my classroom.

They practically skipped up the stairs to the classroom as they chatted, both of their spirits having been magically lifted in the others presence. Ianto made his way across the classroom to retrieve his coat and paused to peer out the window at the night sky. He felt a presence behind him as jack wrapped his arms around Ianto's waist. Ianto gestured to the stars "pretty isn't it" he remarked. "Oh yeah" jack agreed, however ianto had a sneaking suspicion he wasn't really talking about the stars. His suspicion was confirmed when jack began nipping at his neck. Ianto giggled and swatted at jack "jack! Not now... when we get home". Jack raised an eyebrow "home?" He questioned. Ianto floundered "erm when we get to mine" he corrected as he rushed from the classroom. Jack smirked to himself before bounding off to join ianto.

They rushed back through the hall to get to the car park, jack tugging on Ianto's sleeve rather impatiently as the Welshman waved to tosh. Tosh smiled, nodding at ianto as she gave him a thumbs up sign. She watched as the two teachers rushed away to the car like two over eager teenagers. She knew it had been a good idea to call jack.

I'm so sorry I haven't uploaded a chapter in awhile ... I took a few days off to gain motivation and all that but I'm hoping to get back to my usual one chapter a day schedule. Fingers crossed.
