Ianto sighed in contentment as he rested his head on Jack's chest. Feeling comforted by the rise and fall of Jack's breathing he couldn't believe how amasing being back in control was. He didn't feel pain in his head anymore, it was natural again. They had gone back to the hub and told the others to go home. Ianto got a kiss on the cheek from Gwen, a strong hug from Tosh and a smile and nod from Owen. They were back at his flat now, staying as close to each other as possible.

"The colour is back in your cheeks." Jack noted, smiling.

"About time." Ianto mumbled, nuzzling into Jack's warm embrace.

Jack chuckled and rested his head on the younger man's. "Ianto?"

"Hmm?"

"Did you ever find out what that thing was?" Jack asked curiously.

"No. I never got that much control. It was too strong."

Nodding, Jack understood. But then a thought skittered across his brain, "Did it find out things about you?"

"I blocked out stuff about Torchwood Jack, don't worry." Ianto reassured.

"No, it was something it said."

"I'm sure it was lying. What did it say?" Ianto muttered, unable to hide the unease in his voice. He didn't like the idea of the entity rummaging through his thoughts and telling Jack. It probably would have twisted them, making them hurt Jack.

"It said that you felt like I didn't love you." Jack felt Ianto stiffen in his arms, "Tell me that's not true, Yan."

Ianto paused, trying to find his words. Jack looked over at him, waiting for him to speak. The silence dragged on until Jack couldn't take it anymore. "Come on, you know it's true." Jack looked up at him, clearly worried. "Don't you?"

"I guess I never really trusted it." Ianto mumbled, eyes looking away from Jack, wishing he could change the subject.

"How can I make you believe it?" Jack needed the Welshman to know that it was true. It was fact and real.

Ianto looked up to him, searching his facial expression. He could see the fear in the immortal's eyes. "There are times when I believe it." Ianto said, trying to comfort the older man.

"Really?" Jack asked, "Tell me when."

"When I look in your eyes I see it. When you hug me, when you kiss me and moments like these." Ianto sighed.

"Then I guess I'll have to give you more of these moments." Jack's face was overtaken by a grin. Jack pulled Ianto into a soft kiss. The kiss slowly deepened as they moved closer.

"I do love you." Jack mumbled into Ianto's lips.

"I love you too."

"Yan?" Jack mumbled as they parted.

"Hmm?"

"I'm sorry I didn't make it more obvious."

"Get back here." Ianto growled, pulling Jack back to him.

They kissed more passionately and Jack chuckled as Ianto pulled him closer. "You're meant to be resting." Jack sighed.

"I'll blame you in the morning." Ianto smirked into Jack's lips.

"That's not exactly fair." Ianto could hear the pout sounding in the elder's voice.

"Stop talking." Ianto mumbled.

"But Owen told you to get some rest." Jack insisted. Ianto nibbled at Jack's ear. "That's not going to work." Jack informed his lover. The Welshman chuckled and bit Jack's shoulder lightly. The older man gasped in shock, causing another chuckle from Ianto. "Why are you being so stubborn?" Jack muttered.

"Why are you being so stubborn?" Ianto retorted with a slight eye roll.

"You need rest." Jack protested. Ianto had died and lost a lot of blood. His chest had a few stitches in it. He'd thought that Ianto would agree that he needed rest.

"I think I'd know how much rest I need better than anyone. I've been stuck in my subconscious for what feels like weeks. I am trying to make the most of things." Ianto explained. He then scraped his teeth along Jack's neck.

"God Ianto!" Jack moaned.

Ianto grinned and moved so there lips were just touching, not quite kissing.

"Unless you're too tired?" Ianto mumbled.

Jack pushed forward to meet Ianto's lips, earning a chuckle from the younger man.

Oh My Gosh! It's the end! It came so quickly! That was a bit of a shock haha.

I hope you enjoyed it as much as we enjoyed writing it.
