Author Notes: I've wanted to do an alternate for a while. I wasn't sure for a while on how I was going to do this so here I go attempting it. Review to tell me to continue or not because I suck at deciding whether or not to continue these. I am going to try to make this my longest story so far.

Chapter Fourteen/Epilogue – Explanations

Ianto watched Jack, waiting for him to make a move. Jack stood perfectly still, grinning over at the Welshman. They stayed where they were well after the Tardis had disappeared. Ianto wanted to run over to the captain but he couldn't work up the courage to move. He had been waiting for Jack for so long he was afraid that if he moved, the older man would disappear, it would all be a dream. Jack walked slowly towards the younger man. Ianto felt a smile grow on his face as he started to realise that it wasn't a dream, that Jack really was there. Jack stood in front of the Welshman, still grinning.

"How long was I gone?" Jack asked hesitantly.

"Three days." Ianto murmured.

"Oh thank god! He got me back closer this time."

"It wasn't easy, without you."

"Thank you for looking after my coat." Jack joked, gesturing to the coat still draped around the younger man.

Ianto blushed, forgetting that it was still wrapped around him. He reluctantly took off the coat, handing it to the captain. Jack put it on, feeling the warmth, breathing in the new Ianto smell that was laced on it.

"Did you…find out about me?" Ianto asked reluctantly.

"Yes."

"Will you tell me?"

"As much as I can." Jack promised.

"I missed you." Ianto sighed.

"I missed you too Yan."

Ianto's brow furrowed when he heard the new nickname.

"No good?"

"No, it just sounds familiar. I like it." Ianto smiled reassuringly.

Jack closed the gap between them, hugging Ianto, feeling the warmth of the younger man. Ianto nuzzled Jack's neck, breathing in the smell he had come to know was Jack. He sniffled, unable to hold in his tears anymore. Jack looked up at him quizzically.

"I missed you so much."

"Jack!" Gwen yelled when he walked through the cog door.

She ran to him and threw him into a strong hug.

"I missed you too." Jack laughed as the others crowded him. Owen nodded his thanks for the older man's return and Tosh moved in, next for a hug.

"Don't leave like that again Jack." Tosh murmured.

"I won't if I can help it." Jack promised, "I'm sorry guys, but it's over now."

Ianto sat in Jack's chair. The older man had been back for just over an hour and he didn't want to be with anyone. The door opened making him jump out of his thoughts.

"Are you okay?"

"Mmm." Ianto mumbled, looking down at the desk in front of him.

"Come out with us. I missed you while I was gone, you know?" Jack smiled.

"I'm okay here. You go and spend time with the others, have some fun."

"What's wrong?" Jack sighed.

"Nothing, I'm fine."

Jack looked over at the Welshman skeptically. Moving into the room, he sat down next to Ianto.

"Tell me what's wrong." Jack urged.

"Nothing." Ianto insisted.

"Tell me." Jack said sternly.

"I just…can you tell me what you know about me? Please?"

"It's complicated."

"I need to hear it."

"I can't tell you too much. What I can tell you is that this happened because you were willing to sacrifice yourself to save a galaxy and that it was either permanent death or me saving you, which meant that you were immortal like me."

Ianto paused, staring up at Jack, "Is that all you can tell me?"

"I'm sorry but if I tell you any more, it could hurt you."

"Well…what do I do now?" Ianto asked hesitantly.

"You come out there with me, and you talk to them, have some fun."

"Why do you want me to go out there so badly?"

"Because you're going to need to get to know them if you're going to work here." Jack smiled.

"What?" Ianto stared up at the older man, trying to comprehend what he had said.

"I want you to work here, with me."

"That'd make you my boss, right?"

"Yeah…" Jack murmured, trying to figure out where Ianto was going with this.

"That's an interesting relationship." Ianto laughed.

Jack grinned as he looked over at the Welshman, "God I missed you."

Ianto smiled, moving closer to Jack, kissing him tenderly. Jack pushed closer, deepening the kiss as Gwen walked into the room.

"What's taking – Oh! Uh…sorry guys." She giggled, rushing out of the room.

"Shit." Ianto murmured, "Now they all know."

"Not to upset you too much Yan but, I'm pretty sure they already knew." Jack chuckled before bringing his hands around the younger man and pulling him into another kiss.

THE END!! Wow…that's sad, I really liked writing this and I can't believe it's ended so soon. Don't worry guys, I'm not about to leave you high and dry. I came up with a new idea literally, on the way to school this morning haha. It's probably ridiculous though…hmm, well Review this for now and when I write the first Chapter of that one, review to tell me to continue or not…please? And About the Alphabet Challenge…I will write some of those soon, however while I have the time to write big stories, I like to use it.

Cheers,
Gabz
