Title: Watch Over You
Pairing: Jack and Ianto
Summary: Ianto's thoughts as he lay in Jack's arms in Day 4 of CoE
Rated: pg
Spoilers: Day 4 of CoE
Disclaimer: I really really wish that I owned Ianto or Jack. They belong to each other. and less importantly, to the BBC.
Note: ...My first attempt at Torchwood fanfiction. I have fallen in love with Jack and Ianto... And I heard this song, and it just fit too well... I don't usually listen to Alterbridge, but it works.
Right now, I'm living the life of the army wife... My boy is over in Afganistan and I'm alone... I've decided to live vicariously through Jack and Ianto. Their relationship is beautiful, and ended far too quickly. I'm a firm believer in the Save Ianto Jones plan... I think that it was pretty rediculous that he was killed so prematurely, and with so very very little closure in his relationship with Jack. I'm not gonna turn this into rant about that.
I'm not a writer, at all.. but sometimes, an idea just gets stuck in ones head.. and it must come out... Reviews and comments are so much love. Just be gentle..
Without further ado...
"Watch Over You"
Leaves are on the ground
Fall has come
Blue skies turning grey
Like my love
Jack... I never knew it would turn out this way... why me? I don't know why you chose me... You could have anyone. I'm just the Tea-boy. The one who betrayed and nearly killed you all...
I fell for you from the start, Jack... I shouldn't have, but I did. Something about you... the famed Jack Harkness 51st century pheromones, maybe. But regardless of why it happened, it did. And for that, I'm sorry.
I tried to carry you
And make you whole
But it was never enough
I must go
I did what I could, Jack. I cleaned the Hub. I watched over all of you. I knew everything that went on with all of you. Yes, even you, Jack. That was my job. To know everything and watch over my team. Especially you. Because someone has to. You may be immortal, but you still need someone. In fact, you need someone more then anyone, I think. You've lost so much in your long life. Someone needs to keep your nightmares away, someone needs to keep the demons from your mind. I would hold you forever if I could. Banish all of the hurt and death from your life. If only I could.
(chorus:)
Who is gonna save you
When I'm gone?
And who'll watch over you
When I'm gone?
Oh, Jack... I'm leaving you too now. I knew it would happen, but I didn't think it would be this soon. Torchwood takes all of us, in time. I just hoped it would be more time for us. It was good, yeah?
You say you care for me
But you hide it well
How can you love someone
And not yourself?
I never did find out what you dream about... And I never really told you about all of thsoe times that I would watch you sleep.. But there it is, Jack. Did you dream about me? Was I really anything ore then just the Tea-boy to you? I wante to believe that. I need to think that all of those nights together, all that time, that we meant something.
You said you hated the word "couple" I never found out why? Did you just hate the labels, like you always said? Or was it me? I wasn't just your shag on the side, like Owen thought... You never told me that you loved me... Am I more then just a blip in time for you?
(chorus)
And when I'm gone
Who will break your fall?
Who will you blame?
I can't go on
And let you lose it all
Its more then i can take
Who'll ease your pain?
Ease your pain
Jack... I can't stay with you... We made the most of it. But now who do you have? Who will stay with you? Who will hold you when the nightmares come, and tell you that its alright? I'm sorry Jack... Sorry for my mortality. I'm sorry that I can die. That I'm dying. I hope I left you with enough memories to last you a little while at least. I hope you find someone worthy of you.
(chorus:)
Who is gonna save you when I'm gone?
Who'll watch over you?
Who will give you strength when you're not strong?
Who'll watch over you when I'm gone away?
Don't forget me, Jack... You'll live forever, and in a thousand years time, will you still hurt from this? Will you still ache for me, as I would for you? I don't know what exists beyond life, but I will be waiting for you, should you ever be able to find your way here. I will always wait for you, Jack.
Snow is on the ground
Winter's come
You long to hear my voice
But I'm long gone
Ianto, if there was any sort of diety, I would pray for him to bring you back to me. But even the Doctor can't do that. You mean so much mor eto me then I ever told you... Now you're leaving me and I'll never get to tell you. Who's gonna save me now, Ianto? This is my fault, I should have cherished you more. I shouldn't have brought you here for my vengence. I need you here with me my beautiful Welshman. I love you, Ianto... please don't go... Don't make me so the words. If I don't say them, will you stay with me? Can I keep you here with the promise of those words?
I will remember you forever, I could never forget. My Ianto. You will never be just a blip in time. Not to me.
