Ok. Here is my first ever fic.

Italics are Ianto's thoughts
On with the fic....
‘To Captain Jack’
Ianto could hear Tosh and Jack in Jack’s office. He could get why Tosh was toasting him - he had kept her safe in 1941, not the best year to be of Japanese descent - but why was Jack toasting himself?
Then he looked at the pictures from the dancehall again - the other soldier. Who was this person? The pictures had no names underneath for some reason and it was the only person he had been unable to name.
He knew Jack, Tosh and Bilis, but who was this other man?
Mmm…Good looking, American by the looks of him - no Brit has such good teeth - and it looks like Jack knows him. But that’s not always a good thing. Ianto thought to himself. The look on Jack’s face in the first picture meant that asking him was a bad idea, regardless of their relationship - six months in each other’s beds and still kept private for now.
So there was only one thing for it. Ask Tosh.
Walking towards her desk, carrying two mugs of coffee. He sat down beside her “Tosh, can I ask you a quick question?” he asked handing her a mug.
“Sure Ianto. What’s the problem?”
“No problem as such. Just wondering about this guy with you and Jack.” He handed Tosh the picture of the three of them. “He seems to know him from somewhere and I thought you might be able to shed some light on it. How does Jack know him?”
“He was another American volunteer. He and Jack became quite close”
Oh. At least I got the American thing right. Close?
Wanting not to arouse suspicion, Ianto calmly asked “You didn’t happen to get his name did you?”
“Well his name was….”
“Ianto?” Jack said from behind them, standing in the doorway to his office “Can you come in here a minute? I promise it won’t take long”
Looking a bit annoyed at him for interrupting, Ianto took the picture back from Tosh (knowing that was what Jack probably wanted to talk to him about) made his way into Jack’s office.
“Close the door.”
“What did you…?” Ianto didn’t have the opportunity to finish his question as Jack grabbed him and kissed him.
Both moaned at that blissful first contact and it was over before Ianto could really kiss him back.
“What…?” Ianto asked, still a bit dazed from the kiss.
Jack started to walk away to Ianto before starting to talk “I wanted to do that before I told you because I don’t know what you’re going to be like once I tell you. You have to know that I do care about you, a lot more than I ever thought I would, and…and I…” He couldn’t look at his lover’s face anymore - he would break down if he did and an over-emotional leader is no good to anyone.
“Jack.” Ianto said his name softly. He could see that something was wrong. “You don’t have to be afraid in front of me.” Jack stilled at his words. “Look, let’s just sit down and we can talk about this. What did you want to see me about?”
“This” Jack said, holding the pictures in his hand. “You wanted to know the name of this other soldier with me and Tosh”
Yes? he thought it was best to just let Jack talk.
“His name is Captain Jack Harkness.”
Ok. Not prepared for him to say that.
“I took his name. He died the day after these were taken.”
A small smile spread across Jack’s face as he continued to look at the grainy images in his hand.
“God, Ianto, he was…. he was beautiful. The second we met I could sense there was something between us.” He locked eyes with Ianto “Just like when I first met you.”
Looking back at the photos “All I knew about him was that he died in an ambush after a training exercise. He saved his men at the cost of his own life. When I first arrived I needed a name so I took his. I changed the records so it looked like he disappeared. I never thought I would ever meet him”
Ianto chose this moment to break his silence “The look on your face…”
“The only time I was happy to see Bilis. The first picture was taken just after he told me his name.”
Right. Not a good thing then.
“Tosh said the two of you became close.” Great Ianto. Now you sound like a jealous idiot
“We did. We were. I suppose you could say there was a mutual attraction, though we both denied it at first”
At first?
Jack continued “I kissed him, Ianto.”
Before Ianto had a chance to react, Jack’s phone rang. “What? Okay, we’ll be there in a sec.”
Jack looked towards Ianto “Ianto, I…”
His words hung in the air as Ianto was already out the door and heading upstairs to meet the rest of the team, with a small tear in his eye.
Later that day, Jack was lying in the mortuary and Ianto was standing in Jack’s office with his coat in his arms, shedding tears only he could hear.
