Ianto felt nervous as he walked into Jack’s office. Jack had arrived back a few hours before from helping the Doctor with the Daleks. They had all shared a hug and a chat over pizza in the boardroom before Jack persuaded Gwen to go home to Rhys. Ianto had stayed behind to clean up the mess before doing some filing in the archives.
Jack was hunched over his desk looking at some paperwork that weren’t really due but he wanted a distraction from the boredom that he was now experiencing. Ianto quietly slipped in and walked over to the desk.
“Do you want a coffee sir?” Ianto asked with a big smile.
Jack looked up from his desk and a huge grin spread over his face. “Yes I would love a coffee, Ianto Jones but first can we have a talk?”
“Of course.” Ianto said and sat down on the chair, which sat on the opposite side of the desk.
“How are you Ianto?” Jack asked looking at the calm Welshman.
“I’m alright; just glad you came back sir.” Ianto replied, looking at him with a smile.
Jack nodded. “Well I told you I would, didn’t I?”
Ianto laughed. “Well yes sir, but a feeling crossed my mind that you would stay with the Doctor.” He confessed putting his head down.
Jack got up from his chair and walked around before sitting down on the desk. He put a hand on Ianto’s chin putting it up so he could look into Ianto’s eyes.
“Hey, last time there was a reason why I left with the Doctor. This time I have no reason whatsoever, I’ve come to realise that my place is here with you and Gwen at Torchwood.” Jack assured him with a smile. “And as I said last time, I came back for you.”
Ianto nodded and got up from the chair. “I’ll just get you, your coffee now sir.”
Ianto walked to the entrance of Jack’s office but was stopped by arms swarming around his waist and a soft kiss on his neck.
“I want you to that I will never leave you again.” Jack whispered into his neck.
“I believe you sir and I’m glad you’re here.” Ianto whispered back.
