Jack was the first to wake and he turned to look at the gorgeous Welshman next to him in his bed. No, what did Ianto say last night? Their bed! Oh Yan you don’t know how happy I was when I heard you say that. He continued to watch his lover as the sun began to shine through the window. He couldn’t bring himself to wake him, not just yet. The events of the previous day still fresh in his mind. He knew they’d have to give statements but that could wait a couple of hours. Jack’s priority was Ianto and making sure he was alright.
The young man stirred and Jack looked down at him as an arm reached across his stomach and a leg entangled itself with Jack’s. Jack smiled again, just as Ianto opened his eyes and looked up. Jack was still taken aback by the intensity of love in the blue eyes of his Ianto.
“Morning my love. How are you feeling this beautiful day?”
“Mmmm morning cariad, I feel wonderful. You are gorgeous Captain Harkness. I love you so very much and want to show you how much, if you’ll let me.”
“I would love you to, and I’m sorry to put a damper on things but we have to go to the police station. I know it’s spoiling our time but....”
“I know, it has to be done.”
“There’ll be plenty of time later, we have to make sure Hart is where he belongs and you have your physio to go to.”
“I know, but I prefer the exercise we had last night to what Jacqui will make me do today.”
“Just remember my love, only three more sessions with Jacqui then it’s all down to us. I’m sure we could think of some exercises to make sure everything is in good working order.”
Ianto smiled and his hand reached down underneath the bed covers and sought out Jack, whose blood supply suddenly rushed southwards. Finding the now hard length of Jack, Ianto encircled his hand around it causing Jack to moan. Reaching up and taking Jack’s mouth in his, Ianto began kissing and teasing with his tongue, all the while his hand was moving up and down the length of his Jack. Kisses wet and hot, hand movements faster and harder, it wasn’t long before they were moaning and having to break away to breathe.
Ianto continued moving his hand as he noticed Jack’s head tip back into the pillow. Ianto had noticed that when Jack was close to the edge his eyes scrunched up, looking up at him now this was how Jack was looking. Ianto smiled as his movements got faster and harder. Then with a scream of Ianto’s name Jack came, spraying his stomach and Ianto’s hand with the warm liquid. Ianto slowed down, he knew this was right, he had never felt like this when he’d been with Lisa. Jack had shown him wonderful things and he still had things to learn. He wanted to be able to make love to Jack as he’d been loved the night before.
Finally stopping when their breathing had returned to near normal, Jack looked at Ianto and smiled. Reaching to kiss him “thank you”
“What for cariad?”
“For loving me the way you do. I’ve never been happier than when I’m with you. You’ve taught me to really love again after....”
He couldn’t say anymore as Ianto had crushed his mouth to Jacks. “No it should be me thanking you. I never knew I could be so happy. I want to show you how much I love you, and I will later. That was just my first attempt.”
“And wonderful it was too. Now we had better go and get cleaned up and get to the police station.”
They showered and dressed. Ianto deciding on his charcoal grey jeans and a tight Blue Gillespie t-shirt. Jack had a sharp intake of breath when he saw how his lover was dressed. The jeans fitting in all the right places, tight around his arse revealing enough of what was waiting for him without being indiscreet.
Jack chose black jeans and a Captain America t-shirt. Ianto looked at his lover and smiled. “You, look, gorgeous. Why Captain America?”
“I love superhero’s and he’s my favourite.” They both laughed.
Ianto couldn’t believe how lucky he was. Jack pulled him in for a kiss, holding on tight, Ianto could feel their mirrored reactions below the waist again. He pulled slightly away “if we don’t go now Jack, I’m going to rip those clothes off you and we’ll never get to the police station or my physio and I’d rather not upset Jacqui, you know what a tyrant she can be if I don’t work hard enough.”
They laughed because they both knew Jacqui was a push-over. Yes she worked Ianto hard, but she always had his best interest at heart only because she wanted to see him well.
“How’s your leg this morning Yan?”
“It’s not too bad, it lets me know when it’s doing too much, but I can cope with that. I know I was stupid doing what I did, and I’ll have to live with that, but it brought me to you and for that I’m eternally grateful.”
Jack kissed him again. Breaking apart “I’m pleased you were in that ward that night. Not how you ended up there, but now you’re with me.”
“Come on Jack let’s get this over with then maybe that’ll put an end to Hart. I’m sorry if I sound harsh, I know you’ve known him and been friends for a long time, and yes I’m including the lovers’ in that also, but it must be difficult for you seeing what’s happened to him.?”
“Oh Yan, he’s been a hot head for years, even when we were at Uni. When we were together as....lovers” he grabbed Ianto’s hand and squeezed “sorry....he was obsessed with us and jealous if I spoke to anyone, male or female when we were out together. I always thought it was because he was insecure about his sexuality, he only came out when he got to Uni, but I can see now that it probably went deeper than that. I should have made sure he got help before....before I booked him into that clinic. I suppose also that his time with Cameron was to get at me. He didn’t really want him, I think he just did it to try and make me jealous. In the end it didn’t and I moved on. And....well he can’t accept that. I just hope he gets help before he does serious harm to himself or someone else. The police hopefully will know who to send him to. If they put him in prison, well that’s not going to help him. I just....”
“Jack, he’s not your problem anymore. Come on let’s get to the station and see what’s going on. We can deal with everything else this throws up later.”
Ianto held on to Jack’s hand and led him down to the SUV. Jack noticed the slight limp in Ianto’s walking but thought it gave him more character. He loved him no matter what.
They arrived at Cardiff Central Police Station on King Edward VII Avenue and remained in the SUV, not talking, just holding tightly to each others’ hand, not moving.
It was Jack who broke the silence “we’d better go in. I don’t want to do this but we have to make sure he’s out of our lives and can do no more harm to us.”
Ianto leant over and kissed him “I’m with you all the way Cariad.”
They went into the reception, Jack asking to speak to DS Broadbury.
“Good morning Mr Harkness, Mr....”
“Jones, Ianto Jones, my partner.”
“Ah yes, sorry, Mr Jones. I gather it was yourself that all the hate was directed at?”
“Yeah it began after I met Jack in the hospital. I’d never seen Hart before then.”
“Ok, let’s get a statement from both of you and we can decide then what to do with Mr Hart.”
“But aren’t you going to charge him?”
“He’s saying he didn’t realise what he was doing and that he is sorry for any problems he’s caused.”
“Now look here Detective Sergeant Broadbury, he nearly had Ianto killed. I dread to think what would have happened if I hadn’t gone back in the room when I did. He’s proved he sent that photo frame, you got the recording from the radio last night, and he’s admitted he hired Barnes to cause Ianto to have an accident. Surely you’ve got enough to charge him. Besides even before the accident he was up to his tricks, playing mind games with me.”
“Mr Harkness, we really need to get both your statements, as such we only have his explanations, so until we’ve officially got your side of things we can’t do anything. Now, if you’ll come with me, Mr Jones if you’ll go with Sergeant Peck here, we’ll get your statements and then I’ll be able to say what happens next.”
Jack and Ianto stood, Jack leant in and kissed Ianto tenderly “you going to be ok walking my love?”
“Yes Jack, if Sergeant Peck can just make sure I’m not going to fall or trip over anything I’ll be fine. I’ll see you back out here soon Cariad.”
DS Broadbury noticed the terms of affection between the two men and smiled.
An hour later they both emerged from their interviews. Ianto telling about his first meeting of Hart, to the incident at the radio, and Jack explaining how he met Hart and his constant jealous behaviour. They were told to wait in reception until DS Broadbury had had a chance to read Ianto’s statement. All the time they were waiting Ianto had tight hold of Jack’s hand.
“Hey, come on sweetheart, everything is going to be fine, you’ll see.”
DS Broadbury came back to them thirty minutes later “ok, I’ve got enough evidence here to get Hart before a Magistrate. I’ll call you later to let you know the outcome. I will tell you this, he won’t be bothering you again, I can’t say too much but....”
“Look, don’t try and guess what the Magistrate will do. I don’t want our hopes building up only to be dashed again.”
“Ok Mr Harkness. I have your mobile number. If I can I’ll get him before the Magistrate this afternoon and I should know something early evening.”
“That’s fine, we’ll be at the hospital for the rest of the day, Ianto’s got physio to go to then we’ll be at the radio.”
“I’ll speak to you soon....and thank you.”
“Just get him out of our lives and we’ll be happy.” Jack and Ianto turned to leave.
“Oh, one more thing Mr Harkness, he’s saying that his solicitor will be in touch about the business.”
Ianto squeezed Jack’s hand harder when he felt him tense. He knew that was going to be the next difficult thing he’d have to sort out, but he was going to be with Jack every step of the way. When he’d been talking to Doctor Harper yesterday he’d told Ianto that there was going to be no chance of him going back into a classroom before the October half term. His leg wouldn’t be strong enough. Ianto hadn’t told Jack, they had more important things to think about. At any other time Ianto would have been disappointed about not being in front of his students, but he was pleased that he’d been forced into more time off, he’d be able to help Jack.
They reached the SUV “Jack you ok?”
“Yeah Yan, I’ll be fine.” He leant into Ianto and kissed him, “but I think we should get into the vehicle, I’d hate to be arrested for showing my love for you out here!”
They both smiled and got in.
“Jack, I....I”
“What’s the matter my love?”
“I had some news from Doc Harper yesterday.”
“What....what’s wrong? What did he say? Has something happened, is your leg alright?”
“Jack, slow down, sshh let me tell you before you start jumping to conclusions.”
“Ok, sorry, go on, what did he have to say?”
“My leg is healing, as he thought I’m going to be limping for the rest of my life, it damaged the muscles pretty badly and although I’ll get stronger it’s not going to be perfect.”
“You are perfect in other ways” and he reached a hand across and placed it on Ianto’s thigh causing the young man to shudder.
“Let me finish Jack, please.” Jack went to move his hand, but Ianto stopped him, “no Jack that feels good. What the Doctor did say was I need to build the strength up in my leg and it will be after the October half term before I can even think about getting back in front of a class again.”
“Oh Yan, I’m sorry. I know how much you’re missing it.”
“Yeah, well that can’t be helped. I’ll go in and see the Head next week, if you’ll come with me, and explain to him what’s going on. He’s been really good to me so deserves a proper explanation.”
“Of course I’ll go with you my love. But there’s something else isn’t there?”
“Yes, but before you jump to further conclusions, just listen. You are going to have to sort out your business and with Hart out of the picture there’s no-one running it. So instead of you taking next week off to look after me, we....and I do mean we can go into your offices and begin sorting things out. That’s if you want my help?”
“Oh Yan, you don’t know how much that means to me. I was worried about what was going to happen, but it’ll get sorted. Thank you. Now, let’s get this week over with, I’ll go into the office in the morning just to make sure things are ok. I’ve got a good team working for me and I’m sure my accountant can hold the fort till Monday.” He leant across and kissed Ianto, pulling him closer and kissing him harder and deeper.
When they broke for air they smiled. “Now Jack, let’s go to the hospital and see Jacqui before she gets mad and sends out a search party. Then we can concentrate on us for the rest of the day.”
“Ok, I’m glad you’re here Ianto Jones. It’s my turn to be grateful for your help.”
Ianto squeezed Jack’s thigh as they drove back to the hospital and Jacqui.
