I had to write this fic. I just watched Children Of Earth day 4 again and I couldn't stand it! So here is my version of events but this time Tosh and Owen are still alive and don't worry so will Ianto!
Stupid damn aliens! Gone and killed the bloody Teaboy. Gwen and Tosh are still crying and Jack won't come out of his office. He just sits there. Thinking about Ianto. Wow. Did I just say Ianto? Not many times I've called the man by his real name. But that's just me. Always hiding my feelings. Until now. I found this diary and knew it was Ianto's at once. I haven't read anything. It wouldn't feel right. If Ianto was alive I would read some then laugh at him later but this is different. I might as well go ahead and say it. Not like he's gunna know or anything, but........ I love him. Not in the way Jack does before anyone getss the wrong idea! He was like my little brother. I remember this one time we went to the rugby together. Just us two. It was a brilliant day. No Torchwood, no Jack no distractions. Just two mates having a laugh and then getting pissed after the game. I miss him. God... get a grip Harper! I gotta keep going even if Jack has given up. I know he loved Ianto too. He told me once. This must of crushed him. I dunno what else I can say. Jack's lost a friend, no, boyfriend. I've lost a brother and Tosh and Gwen have lost a best mate. This is shit. This whole world is shit. If Jack ever takes us to see another planet I am permanently eloping there.
Entry written by Dr Owen Harper, 18th December 2009
Owen put the diary back where he'd found it and went up to Jack's office.
"Alrite Jack." Owen said casually.
"Fine." Jack replied without any emotion.
"Thinking of doing anything today?" Owen asked.
"No nothing." Jack sighed.
"Well maybe..." Owen was cut off by Jack who said, "Why are you here, Owen?"
"I miss him!" Owen yelled.
"What?" Jack looked shocked.
"I miss him okay?" Owen sat down and put his head in his hands.
Jack went over and put an arm round him.
"It's okay, Owen."
"No it's not okay Jack. I want him back." Owen said hating how pathetic he sounded.
"Oh God. So do I." Jack sobbed. There was a few minutes silence whilst the two men thought of the quiet archivist.
Owen broke the silence as he lifted his head out of his hands. "Remember when I walked in on you two snogging each others faces off." Owen and Jack laughed through their tears.
"That was a good kiss." Jack laughed again as Owen punched him lightly on the arm.
There was another few minutes silence. "Can we go see him?" Owen suddenly asked.
"Owen believe me I've wanted to but..." Jack trailed off.
"But what? I wanna go see my bro..." Owen stopped realising what he'd said.
"Brother? You saw Ianto as a brother?" Jack asked.
"Well I might as well admit it now. Yeah I did."
"Oh. So that's what that little talk was about!" Jack exclaimed.
"Huh?"
"You said to me once, if I ever hurt Ianto I would be fed to Myfanwy and buried alive." Jack laughed at the memory.
"Oh yeah. He'd been through enough. He didn't need you crushing him." Owen said.
"That was never going to happen Owen. I fell in love with him." Jack said seriously.
"Jack I'm sorry." Owen put a hand on Jack's.
"Don't be. So you wanna go see Ianto?" Jack asked changing the subject.
"Sure."
The two men walked side by side down to the morgue. Tosh and Gwen watched them go.
"Where they off too?" Gwen whispered.
"Dunno. To see Ianto?" Tosh sniffed at Ianto's name.
"Did Owen really care that much?" Gwen asked.
"Gwen!" Tosh exclaimed shocked.
"What? I thought they hated each other."
"They were like brothers Gwen. You could tell they loved each other really." Tosh's voice began to break so she went back to work, as did Gwen.
Down in the morgue Owen and Jack were beside Ianto. Jack had hold of his hand. All of a sudden Jack began to cry. His tears fell onto Ianto's cold, white cheeks. Jack sunk down to his knees but kept holding onto Ianto's hand. Owen was rocking back and forth trying very hard not to cry.
"Jack?" A voice asked. A voice with a welsh accent.
Jack stopped crying. He froze. Owen looked shocked down at the now very much alive Welshman.
"Ianto?" Owen asked. "Ianto you're.... alive?"
"So it would seem." Ianto sounded confused. "Owen are you holding my hand?"
"No! It's Jack." Owen laughed.
"Jack!?" Ianto sat bolt upright and looked down to Jack.
"Ianto is it really you?" Jack asked standing up.
"Yes it's me Jack!"
"Oh my God I missed you so much." Jack leant down and kissed Ianto whilst tears spilled down his cheeks. Owen turned away so they wouldn't see his tears.
"But how?" Jack asked when they broke apart.
"Well first thing I felt something warm fall onto my cheeks and then I sort of felt an energy inside me. It made me feel so alive. The next thing I knew I really was alive." Ianto explained.
"My tears? My tears brought you back to life?" Jack asked astounded.
"Seems like it." Ianto shrugged.
Ianto got of of the table and stood up. "Good to see you Owen." The two men stood kind of awkwardly for a moment. Then they stepped forward into a massive hug.
"Come with me, I know two people who will be thrilled to see you." Jack took hold of Ianto's hand and led him back into the main Hub with Owen following behind.
"Guys!" Jack called. "I have someone you might wanna meet."
"God do you think he's replaced Ianto already?" Gwen asked.
"No, Jack wouldn't do that. Would he?" Tosh replied.
"Well let's go see."
Gwen and Tosh walked out from behind Tosh's desk. Their eyes practically popped out in surprise when they saw Ianto.
"Oh my God Ianto!" They squealed running over and giving him a bone crushing hug.
"Hey, hey leave some of him left for me." Jack laughed.
The girls moved off of Ianto so Jack could hold him. They realised what this meant for Jack having the person he loved brought back so they let them be together for a moment.
"I missed you." Jack whispered well aware Owen, Tosh and Gwen were watching.
"I'm back now though." Ianto whispered as well.
"This may embarrass you in front of the team but this is worth it believe me." Jack said.
"What...?" Ianto was cut of by Jack's lips gently kissing him. It turned into a rough, passionate snog but for once Ianto didn't care that the rest of the team were watching as this was his moment with Jack.
"Right." Jack said pulling away from Ianto but still not letting go of his hand. "It's been an eventful day so you can all go home early."
"Okay thanks Jack. Ianto you coming Pub with us?" Owen asked.
"No thanks. Me and Jack have some catching up to do." Ianto grinned playfully.
"See you think he's all innocent but he is just a kinky and playful as the rest of us." Jack smirked as the team laughed.
"Bye guys. Jack don't wear the poor man out tonight." Gwen laughed.
"Good to have you back Ianto and Jack, Ianto has permission for tops today okay?" Owen winked at Ianto.
"Bye!" Tosh called.
Once the team had left Ianto said, "I like coming back from the dead I get lot's of advantages. Such as I get tops, you cant be rough with me and I can be rough with you and if I pretend tomorrow you were rough with me then you will be told off by Gwen and Tosh, doubt Owen would really care to be honest." Ianto laughed.
"Oi! Cheeky! And Owen does care Cariad. He was crushed when you died." Jack stroked Ianto's cheek.
"Okay." Ianto didn't seem to believe him.
"Anyway enough of all this talk. Let's get screwing!" Jack grinned leading Ianto to his headquarters.
Like it? I may carry it on I'm not sure yet. Review please :D
