,It was dark enough that he couldnt see. Maybe that was a godsend if he couldn't see then he'd get through this. Stepping forward, the harsh light blazes down on him and he brings the microphone towards his mouth, he takes a deep breath he begins.
"Comparisons are easily done
Once you've had a taste of perfection
Like an apple hanging from a tree
I picked the ripest one, I still got the seed"
He remembers when it first started, the reason for him being there, for this song in particular. He saw the signs, the little nudges and the garganuan shoves.
He finally gave in, gave up and put those stupid thought of him and Jack in a real relationship away; he finally believed Owen in that he was just a shag.
He didn't want to believe it at first, but after the numurous time of Jack leaving straight after he came. Ianto finally admitted the truth and to save his heart broke off any kind of sexual relationship with Jack. Now he was only the tea boy, archive matainer, the reseptionist and he alaways managed to keep a clear distance from Jack at all times as not to be tempted.
After a few months he found himself feeling really lonely, he would spend his friday and saturday nights going to Exit nightclub and hanging around Pulse bar. That's where he met Shane Muller, a cute paramedic, some might say that he looks like Jack but if mentioned to Ianto he will deny it.
Most of the time he's with Shane he has to shake himself and concentrate on who he's with and not let his thoughts drift off to thinking of Jack.
"You said move on, where do I go?
I guess second best is all I will know
Cause when I'm with him, I am thinking of you
Thinking of you, what would you do
If you were the one who was spending the night
Oh I wish I was looking into your eyes"
Being with Jack wasnt like being with anybody else, there was always something new, exciting and different to try. Sometimes when the crapness of Torchwood and the rift came bearing down Jack always had a new way to distract Ianto from his maudlin thoughts.
"You're like an Indian summer in the middle of winter
Like a hard candy with a surprise centre
How do I get better once I've had the best?
You said there's tons of fish in the water
So the water's I will test"
No matter what Shane did or tried to spice up or romance Ianto and his life, nothing really seemed to penetrate the young man.
Everytime Ianto was with Shane, he felt the guilt build up inside of him, he knew that Jack knew about them and Jack seemed fine with it but Ianto couldnt help but feel guilty.
"He kissed my lips
I taste your mouth
He pulled me in
I was disgusted with myself
Cause when I'm with him, I'm thinking of you
Thinking of you, What would you do
If you were the one spending the night
Oh I wish that I was looking into..."
He moved around the stage he could see into the audience, Gwen was there with Rhys, bothing moving to the music. His gaze moved as he did and he saw Owen and Tosh together. He knew that it took a lot of badgering by Tosh to get Owen to come he he seemed be enjoying himself.
"You're the best and yes I do regret
How I could let myself let you go
Now, Now the lessons learned
I touched it, I was burned
Oh, I think you should know
Cause when I'm with him I am thinking of you
Thinking of you, what would you do
If you were the one who was spending the night
Oh I wish that I was looking into your eyes
Looking into your eyes, looking into your eyes"
His gaze lingered on his collegues, the swept around the rest of the room, finally settling to the back of the room. He saw a familar figure standing off to the side of the bar.
JACK
Ianto locked eyes with him and the continued to stare at one another through the rest of the song.
"Oh won't you walk through?
And bust in the door and take me away
Oh no more mistakes
Cause in your eyes I'd like to stay, stay....."
He bowed to the audience and moved off stage. Standing behind the stage he takes a few deep calming breaths before turning towards Jack who he felt come up behind him.
'was that about me?' Jack moves forward and tilts up Ianto chin as he asks the question.
Ianto shrugs and tries to move away but Jack holds him still, 'Did you mean it?'
Ianto has trouble looking into Jack's eyes but he nods his head cause suddenly he couldn't find his voice.
Suddenly Jack's lips are pressed against his own, in the most gentle kisses he has ever felt. Pulling back Jack gives Ianto a strange look'Are you still with Shane?' Jack holds Ianto at arms length.
'No, we broke up two weeks ago' Ianto feels sad, he knew he broke the other man's heart but he knew that his heart wasnt in his relationship with Shane.
Jack smiles his crooked smile that shows he's realy happy and crushes Ianto's mouth to his, 'wait wait!!' Ianto pulls back ' I cant go back to the way it was'
'It wont be' Jack vows 'I feel something real with you Ianto and I want us to start dating properly!' Jack brushes Ianto's cheek with his fingers.
Ianto smiles and kisses Jack gently, he knows that things will be up and down between them neither are perfect but now they were on equal footing.
Ianto realises that with Jack there is no comparisons.
