Stag or bachelor

Ianto paced the room worriedly, twisting his engagement ring on his finger. The wedding was drawing closer and ianto was about to embark on his stag night but With the wedding so close the welshman was beginning to worry. What if jack didn't want to marry him? What if he bailed last minute what if- "hey handsome" came the distinct American voice from the doorway "not having second thoughts about the wedding I hope?". Jack appeared behind him, wrapping his arms around Ianto's waist and kissing him lightly on the temple. Ianto shook his head, "definitely not.... do I look okay?" He fussed, glancing in the mirror. Jack spun ianto around and looked him up and down appreciatively. Ianto was wearing tight black jeans and a short sleeved dark blue shirt (actually belonging to jack). Jack chuckled lightly as he spoke "stop fussing... unless you're planning on picking up a tall dark handsome stranger on your .... what do you call it? Stag night? Stag do?". Ianto laughed and prodded jack in the chest "you know that you're the tall dark handsome stranger... wait what do you call a stag do?" Ianto paused for a second before exclaiming "OH THATS RIGHT ITS A 'Bachelors party' right?" He emphasised the words 'bachelors party' with a terrible American accent. Jack shoved his fiancé "oi... don't diss my american ways my bachelor's party was great I'll have you know". Ianto frowned "Yeah... why did you have it a week before mine?". Jack shrugged looking sheepish "I ... wanted grey to be there ... so he could see I was genuinely happy with you ... and I .... checked when he was free". Ianto smirked "awh" he teased "you're just a softie really". "AM NOT" jack protested as Ianto leant into him "are too" Ianto's argues before pressing a soft kiss on jack's lips. "So grey's over here now?" Ianto's questioned as he decided last minute to change his shoes. Jack nodded "yeah he came down to spend some time getting to know wales before the wedding" he told Ianto as the Welshman struggled with a knot in his shoe laces. Ianto nodded distractedly as he finally pulled the knot loose and changed his shoes. He gave jack one last kiss before he was rushing out the door and rolling his eyes at jack comment about how he wouldn't look so smart when jack was finished with him.

Ianto made it to the bar that Owen and a few other of his friends had told him to meet them at. He fidgeted nervously. They hadn't actually told him what they would be doing and was rather concerned that he wouldn't enjoy it.

To Ianto's delight it was rather enjoyable. They went to every bar and club then had ever been to as a group. They opted for just one or two drinks in each bar but somehow still managed to get drunker than they probably had ever been. Half way through ianto felt the need to call jack. They only spoke for around five minutes but Owen was still making comments for the rest of the night how ianto had needed to 'check in on the wife'.

By the end of the night ianto was shattered and his feet hurt but he was still blissfully happy. He was going to marry jack and be the happiest man on the planet. Well, he hoped so anyway. They all piled drunkenly into a cab, attempting to remember where they all lived. Somehow they all made it home with little issue and ianto found himself tumbling through the door way. Funny, it felt like he'd only left the last bar five minutes ago. "Jack!" He called as he fumbled with shoelaces. Jack appeared in the hallway sipping a cup of tea, "you're home!" He exclaimed as he approached ianto and helped him with his shoelaces. He placed his tea on the floor as he did so and hoped it wouldn't get knocked over. Ianto slipped his feet out of his shoes and stood, wobbling slightly. Jack joined him in standing and soon found himself pushed up against the wall. "Woah!" He exclaimed, half laughing as he looked into Ianto's eyes. "You said earlier ... that you wanted to make me look less smart" Ianto's tone was suggestive and slurred, jack was surprised ianto even remembered his earlier comment given the state he was in. "Ianto... I wasn't planning on you being this drunk..." he explained gently as he pushed ianto away. Ianto pouted "still want you" he protested as jack continued to bat his hands away. Jack nodded "I know sweetheart... but I can't... not when you're like this... maybe tomorrow? But right now I think you need some food and a glass of water" he began to lead the way, picking up his forgotten tea and placing it on the kitchen counter. Behind him, ianto trailed miserably. "Come on ianto... tomorrow I promise" jack reasoned again. Tears shone in ianto's eyes "you don't want me!" The welshman accused, "you don't love me you don't really want to marry me do you?!". Jack sighed affectionately as he made his way across the kitchen to his drink husband to be. "Of course I do..." jack told him truthfully "I love you and I want to marry you more than anything ... I love you so much I don't want to have you when you're like this. I want you when you're sober okay? I love you ianto don't ever say I don't because I do". Ianto nodded tearfully as jack departed momentarily to pour a glass of water. The american handed it to the Welshman who sipped slowly and soon began to munch on the slice of toast jack had given him shortly after.

Finally, after ianto had eaten, had some water and cleaned his teeth, they were on their way to bed. Jack helped ianto out of his clothes, smiling affectionately when ianto clung to him sleepily. Soon the american was slipping into bed with ianto, who wrapped himself around jack happily. Jack smiled. He had his old job back and had done for about two months now thanks to ianto, he had a wonderful fiancé and a bright future. How could his life possible get any better?
