"Jack? Jack come on, please wake up...please? You promised..." Ianto said gently through hitched breaths as he cradled Jack in his arms. "Please come on..."
"Ianto..." Gwen started in her 'sympathetic' tone.
"No, don't you dare!" Ianto barked back viciously, "This is all your fault. You told me if I helped open the rift I’d get him back!" he snarled, his eyes stinging with angry tears.
"I couldn't have known..."
"You know why? Because you don't think you NEVER think on how your actions affect everyone else. So long as you get what you want!" he yelled, Owen and Tosh hung back
"That’s not true."
"Isn't it?! Rhys is alive, isn’t that what you wanted? Well congratulations Gwen you've got what you wanted as always! And I've lost everything...again"
"Ianto, Jack...this isn’t my fault."
"Just go...I'm done with you."
"But what about...?"
"Get out!" he cried, pulling Jack closer to him.
"Ianto...come on you have to move. Please?" Tosh said gently, placing a hand on his shoulder.
"NO, he promised me he'll come back. He promised Tosh..."
"Ianto...here" she said taking his hand to Jack's neck, "...no pulse...he's gone."
Ianto cried.

"Aren't you going to say goodbye?" Owen asked Ianto as he helped lay jack on the cold slab.
"No." he replied stoically

"Where are you going?" Owen asked Gwen as she sprung up to leave.
"I'm going to the morgue..." she replied, as if she has claimed it as her own.
"Ianto's still down there." Tosh mumbled.
"I'm still going"
"For fuck’s sake Gwen sit your arse back down now!" Owen ordered.
"You can't tell me what to do."
"Oh yes I can, I'm second in command and I am telling you to sit your backside on that chair." Owen ordered again.
"Why do you care if Ianto's in the morgue?"
"He's grieving you ignorant fuck, you're not the only one who lost Jack, we all lost him. But he was all Ianto had! So yeah I do mind if Ianto's down there. So you just sit down and shut up, or better yet get out of my sight! Rhys is still alive, you know Rhys don't you? Go and see him."
"But-"
"That’s an order!"

"Remember my first day?" Ianto asked Jack...no reply
"I was so scared...and not just about Lisa but I heard so many rumors about you and your Torchwood before I came. I was terrified you were going to jump me or something...strip me naked and kick me out into the street according to some. But you weren't like that; you were kind, you talked to me...and I think you actually asked me out if I remember right." Ianto laughed at the end talking away to Jack but just himself hearing.

"...Then there was Lisa...I loved her so much. And us? We were so angry at each other...you threatened to kill me, but you didn't- you couldn't- i saw that in your eyes...and you kissed me; what did you do to me then Jack? Why did you save me? I've changed because of it...I shouldn’t be here, now with you? You did something I can feel it; deep inside..."
~...~
"Then there was the Beacons; what a day that was. You just had to do your heroic smash through the wall at the 11th hour didn’t you? Guns blazing, coat billowing, you know i think you did it for the show...you saved me again. And that night, after you dropped everyone off you lay in bed with me and held me till i fell asleep and where there when I woke up. I couldn’t tell you how thankful i was back then..."
~...~
"And then Suzie came back, that must have been so hard on you...We both know what cured that; 4 hours...I think that was the longest I’ve had...then that night you wouldn’t let me go."
~...~
"Now you’re gone...I'm so sorry I betrayed you, you were right. And now...I hope you can hear this...I'm sorry Jack, I'm so sorry." Ianto said softly, brushing Jack's cheek with his thumb. "I just...I hope you're happy..." he said almost a whisper, and lent down and kiss jack softly on the lips, "I hope your happy." he repeated, as a tear fell onto Jack's colourless face.
Ianto wiped his eyes before turning and walking away.
He heard a small breath escape, “Thank you.”
