So where am I you’re probably asking? Well. I’m on the top of his favourite tower building. Right at the edge. Swaying a little, whenever we walked up here, the wind would push me. He’d grab hold of me by the waist, and tell me not to worry. It was the greatest time of my life. I will join him. I don’t believe in life after death, but then again. The ghosts? What about them? Did they get trapped? It’s about a ninety foot drop. Something like that. If I don’t die, in the very very very unlikely case, then I will be in a whole lot of pain. For a whole long time. Or a whole little time.
“Don’t do it!” My mind’s playing tricks on me. Must be. I darenot turn around. I’m too scared to look. “Ianto. Listen to me. Please. If you die. You won’t come back. And I’ll be alone. You are meant for so much. Please Ianto it is me. I swear. I need you. I’ve never known someone like you. You. You are my everything. Please. Ianto. Turn around. I’m here. I swear. It is me.” Ianto turned ever so slightly so he could see Jack standing there in his white ‘death’ gown.
“Go away. You’re just an…an… an apparition.”
“Touch me then. Feel the skin you have felt for years. Feel me. Feel your boss. Feel the one you make love to.” Ianto shook his head. He reluctantly moved off of the side. Jack had his arms wide open for him to climb into. However he couldn’t let himself do it. “Ianto. Please. Don’t go back into your shell. Please.” Jack slowly walked towards Ianto. Trying to calm him. Touching his arm. Ianto flinched. “Ianto. Please. It is me. I swear. I would never lie to you. I promise.”
“Jack?”
“Yes. Ianto.”
“What did we do with the stopwatch that night then?” Jack leaned in and whispered in Ianto’s ear. Ianto’s frown ruptured into the biggest smile ever, then a smutty laugh. “It is you.” The smile turned into weeps, and eventually a wash of tears. “I thought you had gone for good.”
“Nah. I’d never leave you. Well. Without saying goodbye of course.” Jack’s toothpaste-ad grin grew on his face.
“Don’t joke about that. You’re never ever leaving my side. Ever. I swear. Please don’t leave me.” Jack pulled Ianto in to a hug. A massive bear hug.
“Don’t worry. I’m not going anywhere. Promise.” Jack knew he couldn’t keep that promise. Maybe he could take Ianto with him.
“Come on. Lets go back inside. You are shivering.” They walked back to the hub hand-in-hand. I would say that it is going to be happily ever after, but it won’t be.
