Torchwood:The Early Years

Okay, so it's been a while but here's the next chapter. Just to let you know, Jack's dad is dead, I know I mentioned him in chapter one: Ianto Jones, and then he disappeared in chapter three and was replaced by Harry, the step-dad, but it will all be explained in this chapter so please bear with : ) thanks xxxx

Ianto And Jack

"Put it down already." The teenager moaned, getting restless.

"Jack, I can't, it's homework." Ianto replied, looking up into the other teenager's eyes as he placed the two coffees down.

"Yeah, but I want to cuddle my boyfriend." Jack replied, sitting down behind Ianto on the bed and wrapping his arms around his waist.

"Jack, we've just met again after years apart and you're calling us a couple?"

"And? You love me, don't you? And I love you, therefor we're a couple." Jack reasoned.

"Yes, I love you, Jack. But, you said we shouldn't rush this. I wanna make this work for us, so let's just take it day by day, okay?" Ianto replied, turning to look at Jack.

"You got it, handsome." Jack smiled, before kissing Ianto and pulling him down on top of him.

"Jack, homework." Ianto whispered into Jack's lips.

"A week, Ianto." Jack murmured in reply, still not letting Ianto move.

"Fine." Ianto replied defeated, bringing his hand up to Jack's hair.

….

"Ianto, would you and Jack like anything to eat. Ianto?"

Ianto's mum knocked on the door softly, only walking in when there was no reply.

"Jack," She gently shook the teenager.

"Mm, oh, hi. Erm." Jack stumbled over his words, looking from Ianto's mum to the teenager curled up in his arms.

"It's okay, I thought I recognised you, it's been a while, hasn't it."

"Yeah, eight years. Erm, we haven't done anything, I swear, it was just a kiss and a cuddle."

"It's okay, well, I'll leave you two, oh, are you staying?"

"Well, if that's okay with you."

"That's fine, I'll ring your mum for you, if you want."

"Well, this is my mum's number. Thanks for this."

"Don't worry about it, night, Jack."

"Night, Mrs Jones."

….

"Morning, Jack." Ianto smiled, looking at his now awake bed partner.

"Morning, you. How'd you sleep?"

"Really well actually, better than usual."

"Your mum came in last night, she knows that we didn't do anything, she seemed happy actually."

"Good, saves me having to introduce you as my boyfriend." Ianto grinned.

"Oi, I'd introduce you to my mum."

"And dad?"

"Oh. That's the tricky part, well, I would but, my dad's dead."

"What? But you told me your dad got transferred. So what the hell's going on, Jack?"

"Whoa, boys, what's happened?"

"I just found out that I really know nothing about Jack."

"What?"

"Ianto, I'm sorry."

"Forget it, here's some clothes and I think when we get to school, we should just stay away from each other."

"But, Ianto …"

"Jack."

"There's a story me and mum have, that my dad got transferred to America for his business. When really, my dad died eight years ago and we've been running from my mum's ex-boyfriend since about six years ago."

"I remember your dad dying actually, in fact me, Ianto and Rhiannon went to the funeral. Mr Jones was away on business."

"So how come Ianto doesn't remember?"

"It was eight years ago, Jack, he was just a little boy. Did you remember Ianto straight away?"

"Guess not."

"So?"

"I need to tell him, but he hates me now."

"No he doesn't, he loves you, he's just upset. You didn't tell him the truth and now he's struggling to trust you."

"Okay, if it's okay, I'll skip breakfast and go home to pick Gray up."

"I'll talk to him, don't worry."

"Thanks, Mrs Jones."

"Hi." A teenage girl smiled, as she walked past Ianto's room.

"Jack, hi." Jack smiled unsurely.

"Oh my gosh, it's been ages, nice to see you again, Jack. Rhiannon, you probably don't remember me."

"Yeah, Rhiannon, of course."

"Rhiannon."

"Bye, mum. Bye, Jack."

"I'll see you downstairs, Jack."

"Thanks."

…..

"Jack! Jack!" The young teenager shouted, running at full sprint to catch up.

"Ianto?" Jack asked, stopping and turning to see the other teenager.

"I'm going, ciya later, Jack."

"Yeah, bye Gray. Careful."

"I will."

"Ianto, what's going on?"

"Mum told me, why didn't you tell me though, Jack?"

"I'm sorry, babe. I just, I was scared, I didn't want you getting hurt."

"What do you mean?"

"Harry, my step-dad, he used to hit my mum, and then he started on me, for thinking I was gay."

"No, oh, Jack, I'm so sorry. If I' have known …"

"It's fine, don't worry about it."

"I love you, Jack. Please, don't ever feel you can't talk to me, okay."

"Promise, come on. Let's go inside, okay." Jack replied, grabbing Ianto's hand and pulling him into the school's grounds.

"But, Jack."

"Hey, Owen told me not to hurt you and pretending there's nothing going on, is kinda hiding you so …"

"I know, you'd end up hurting me. I got it."

"Love you."

"Love you too, Jack."

"Face this together, right."

"Together. We're gonna be okay."

"I know."

….

"Oi, Jones."

"Aughton, back off!"

"Harkness!"

"James Aughton, my office now!"

"But, sir."

"Now!"

"Fine."

"Hey, boys. I see you're an, item now."

"Yeah, Gwen, what about you and, Rhys, is it?"

"Yeah, he's so cool." Gwen giggled.

"Hey, Rhys."

"Yo, Jack, right?"

"Yeah, er, this is Gwen. Ianto, we've gotta go, remember."

"Oh, yeah, bye Gwen, Rhys."

"Bye, guys."

…

Two Weeks Later

"Still can't believe that Aughton had to transfer schools."

"He got what was coming to him, Yan. Don't worry."

"Two weeks, two weeks and nobody is hiding or crying."

"I know, Gwen. It's great isn't it?" Tosh smiled.

"Wow, you and Owen. Jack and Ianto …"

"You and Rhys." Tosh grinned.

"Well, you know."

"Come on, guys."

….

"Hey, guys. You all look very happy." Miss Melbrooke smiled.

"Yeah, obviously, Aughton is gone."

"That's true. So two weeks, guys."

"Yeah, and I don't think any of us have any intentions on splitting up, any time soon."

"Definitely not." Jack smiled, before kissing Ianto on the forehead.

"This is all so nice and lovely, six teenagers finding each other."

"I know, I mean, I don't think any of us really took notice of each other until the new guy came." Owen grinned.

"Watch it." Jack smirked.

"Now, now boys." Miss Melbrooke laughed.

"Yes, boys, behave." Gwen smirked.

…..

"Ah, Mr Jones. Nice to see you again, how long has it been? Three months?"

"Yes, Mr Rogers, it has."

"Oh and I see you've finally brought Mr Harkness with you too. Nice to finally meet you, Jack."

"Mr Rogers, nice to meet you too." Jack replied unsurely.

"Yes, well, let's get started shall we."

"He's a bit sarky." Jack whispered to Ianto.

"What do ya expect, you heard him, haven't been in his class I three months."

So why now?"

"He's gotten used to me skipping it, but you're new so he'll really kick your ass."

"Thanks."

"You're welcome."

Okay, I'll end that there. Will update as regular as I can. Enjoy and review please xxxx
