Spoilers: End of Days
Summary: Jack is gone and Ianto is bitter.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters.
A/N: Song title = drabble title. It’s just easier that way.
Ianto stared at the CCTV footage; there was no escaping the truth. Jack had left of his own free will, haring off to be with his Doctor, not a thought for his team.
‘Not a thought for me either, I didn’t even rate a goodbye. Owen was right; I was just the part time shag, filling in until Jack’s Doctor showed up.’
He hadn’t expected commitment or monogamy, but still, seeing the joy on Jack’s face was like a knife to his heart.
Jack was gone and Ianto couldn’t think of a single reason for him to ever come back.
The End
That title just hit my angst button - not a common occurrence! I have smething more light-hearted for tomorrow, I'm trying to alternate those with the canon-based drabbles. I like multiple prompts, they inspire me!
Thank you!
Thank you.
Nicely done :-)
Thank you.
Yeah, Ianto is silly, but then again, he doesn't know how Jack feels about him yet and being abandoned like that. wihout even a goodbye, must really hurt.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Hang in there Ianto, he'll be back for you!
=(
Thank you.
Thank you
Ianto appreciates being looked after.
He'll make it up to Ianto when he gets back, he doesn't want Ianto to be unhappy.
Thank you.
He would have been hurt as well as angry (though he probably would have hidden the hurt well), but I also think he would have been the one to see that something was very different with Jack, that in some ways he wasn't the man who had left. I like to think that he would have been willing to listen to Jack's side of the story once the first flush of anger had passed, but he wouldn't push and demand answers, that's not who he is. He'd let Jack tell him in his own time, just make it clear that he was willing to listen. He'd still experct Jack to work for his forgiveness though, to prove he was really sincere and deserved a second chance. Well, that's what happens in my universe anyway, lol!
Thank you.
Though I love the characters I really have to wonder: would it KILL these guys to talk about things?! Men are so stupid sometimes... *facepalm*
Cheer up, Ianto. He will come back for you; things are more complex than you (can) know, is all.
Once Jack gets back Ianto will feel better.
Thank you.
