Lonely Hearts
by daedreams
I can't imagine a time when this isn't everything.
A few days later, Ianto stood in the doorway to Jack's office. Jack wasn't there. No one was in the Hub. Most everyone had gone home, and Jack was out hunting a Weevil. So Ianto stood, looking at the empty room, wishing he could feel useful.
He could have gone on the Weevil hunt with Jack. But Jack hadn't thought to ask, and Ianto was in no position to request a field assignment. So he was left alone to feel his pain.
As he leaned on the door frame though, he began to think of the times when the pain wasn't there. When it wasn't everything. And all those times, every moment, was when he was with Jack. For just a moment. When their fingers brushed. When Jack's look lingered just a little too long. When he woke up in the water with the taste of Jack on his lips.
And then the real kiss. The one in this office that left his knees weak and his mind empty. It was enough to make his heart ache. But not in pain. He longed for more. Needed to feel useful. Needed to be needed.
He knew that Jack was lonely too. The Captain would never admit it, but he was clearly a man who had lost so much in his time. There had to be a way to mend their lonely hearts. To find a partnership of some kind that would allow them each to be whole in their own way.
For now, Ianto simply leaned in the doorway, waiting for that time when the pain wasn't so constant.
