In truth, this was a vacation compared to what Ianto was ripped out of. In fact this little town reminded him of the type of place in the UK that people went for a weekend to 'get away' from the city. He was getting away from the government's vicious battle with the 456, or rather them deciding to give up on it, and Torchwood stepping in to try and stop it. 10% of the children in the world given to the aliens on a platter, just like that. Ianto was holding a personal grudge against the government on top of that considering they blew up his boyfriend and took his bits afterward. His boyfriend, now there was a problem. They didn't put a label on their relationship. They were shagging on the side for awhile, after that stopwatch come on that turned out better than he could have hoped. Ianto never wanted a man before, and he didn't particularly want men now. He told his sister the truth. Just one. After Jack came back from his trip with the Doctor, they started dating. Ianto was shocked Jack seemed willing to step up what was happening with them, he assumed their casual fling was exactly what he wanted. Slowly but surely their relationship grew and as far as he knew, they'd been monogamous for months. There was still no label. Sometimes that bothered him, other times he thought it was the best, because in this situation someone always got hurt. And it was pretty clear that someone was going to be him. Here Jack was hurting him, and it was in no way his fault. He was from earlier. They only just began. Ianto didn't know yet how he was going to approach this situation and what he thought about it. There was too much whirling around his head. But he was from Torchwood; he had a natural talent for adapting to any situation gracefully. He knew that Jack would be off to find the Doctor and Rose as soon as he mentioned their names. He felt a weary acceptance about that. They did have him first, after all. He took the time to tidy up their flat. That was largely unnecessary since Ianto wasn't there long and he was impeccably neat to begin with. He put a kettle on the stove and didn't heat it. That would be switched on if they did choose to make any. As promised, he went and got them liquor too. The Welsh were known for whiskey, and he didn't expect any of their brands to be in this town, so he made do with what they had. He also had beer if that was preferred. He went right for the whiskey. Ianto needed it. He was nursing a single glass until Jack got there, focusing instead of looking at the town map and making notes on it. He liked to know where everything was and keep it organized in his head. Who knew what would come in handy while they were stuck there? |
