Ianto had thought he'd seen Jack at the ball, through the swirl crowds of laughing or angry or imperturbable costumed revellers. But he couldn't find him in the end, and he'd refrained from knocking on Jack's door. It was too late at night, and he didn't want to give the wrong impression.

Pfft. Impression. Ianto didn't have a clue what kind of impression he wanted to give. On the one hand, he wanted to grab Jack by his greatcoat lapels and snog him senseless. On the other.... well, dammit, he wanted to be courted. Or at least bought dinner. While he didn't disbelieve Jack's story that they came from different points in their timeline, he also didn't want to skip all the stuff that he had clearly missed, even if Jack had indeed lived through it. Ianto wanted more than that.

Some habits were hard to break, though, and so at 8 a.m. sharp he rapped upon Jack's dormitory door, steaming mug of coffee in hand to present to his captain.

And it was Jack who was wondering why Ianto was refusing that desire to shag. Jack blinked once, then twice at Ianto. "If I didn't know any better, I'd say you were speaking in tongues and an exorcism should be ordered," Jack replied, shaking his head. "Lost Osmond brother?" He asked with a raised eyebrow. "And why on earth would anyone want to sing about Puppy Love? The real thing is that much better."

Jack's own anger was beginning to get the best of him. "I came back for you," Jack replied, crossing his arms in front of his chest, eyes narrowed ever so slightly. "Because the Doctor did ask me to stay, and I turned him down because I wanted to come back to you. How many damn times do I have to tell you? Yes, I'll always run to the Doctor's aid, but I still, at the end of the day, come back to you lot." Jack gritted his jaw, hands clenching into fists, though hidden by his arms. "Stubborn because I won't stay dead? Do you really wish that I were dead, Ianto?" Jack asked, hands falling to his sides as he stepped towards Ianto. He reached up, cupping Ianto's chin in between his thumb and forefinger and looked down at him, as if daring Ianto to say 'yes'.

"You have to remember," Ianto said, proud that his deep voice was staying even even as Jack cupped his face, dare Ianto say it, lovingly. "You have to remember that... if what you say about our differing timelines is true-- Jack, you only just returned. I've barely seen you once in a year. You didn't so much as leave a note, for God's sake."

All right, so his arms were snaking around Jack's perfectly trim waist. What of it? Just because he was stepping closer to Jack did not mean all-- or anything-- was forgiven.

A simple fact that was frustrating Jack to no end. Why on earth were they from two different time periods, out side of some cruel joke? "I couldn't. There wasn't time, Ianto," Jack said, shaking his head ever so slightly. He didn't move his hand away, not when Ianto was stepping in closer and it took all of Jack's self-control to keep from smiling when those arms slid around his waist.

"I had been waiting over a hundred years for him to show up. And, knowing the Doctor as I do, they wouldn't have stayed long. The TARDIS refueled on the Rift and I had to. God knew how many more years I'd would have had to wait."
