Nightmare start, Dream end (Part 1)

Jack was terrified.

He was reliving moments from his life and he couldn’t escape them.

First to terrorise him was the image of himself, towering over a kneeling Ianto, his gun pressed against Ianto’s forehead as he forced the young man to explain how a cyber women was in his basement. Even though Jack knew deep down he hadn’t pulled the trigger, in scene playing before him, he could only watch as Ianto fall back, eyes wide open in fear as Jack’s gun explode.

The image flickered, and suddenly he saw a beaten and bruised Ianto being killed by the cannibals on the Brecon’s. Jack’s nightmare forcing him to watch as Ianto was murdered and he could do nothing.

He couldn’t move.

His body wouldn’t respond. He could feel his heart hammering in his chest but nothing else seemed to work. Even his voice was dead.

Jack was numb with terror as the scene shifted again. This time he saw Captain John caressing Ianto’s face with the side of his gun, Jack flinched as he watched John tormented Ianto. As Ianto fell back into the elevator, Jack felt sick with fear.

The images kept replaying before him. Each time, Ianto’s death caused Jack die inside. He felt his body shudder as each bullets hit Ianto and yet he was trapped, unable to help.

Unable to escape.

He had never felt so useless.

Jack woke gasping for air. He was drenched in sweat. His body felt as if he’d been ten rounds with a weevil. He closed his eyes, clenching his fists trying desperately to get control of both his fear and his emotions. Slowly his breathing returned to normal. Sitting up he let out a long sigh. Running a hand through his hair, he knew what he needed to do. Knew what would erase those haunting images from him waking mind.

Ianto was shocked as he saw Jack striding towards him. He’d never seen Jack look so determined outside a mission. He was about to speak when Jack simply grabbed his face and gave him the most demanding kiss Ianto had ever experienced. He was stunned at first but as Jack’s tongue forced its way into his mouth, he simply melted into Jack's embrace, giving him full, uninhibited access. Ianto wrapped his arms around Jack’s neck, clinging on, as Jack continued to assault his mouth with the aggressive kiss.

Jack backed Ianto against the wall, crushing him between his body and the hard stone wall. He felt Ianto buck as he ground his hips against Ianto’s, making his intent very clear. Jack, his kiss still locked onto Ianto’s mouth, let one hand slide down Ianto's body, pausing to rest on his waist band. He could feel the younger man squirming under his touch, could feel him reacting to his assault. And Jack loved it.

Ianto gasping in growing delight, finally managed to get his hands onto Jack’s shoulders and push him away slightly, ”Jack, please….” he spoke breathlessly, arching as Jack moved his kisses to his throat, "God, Jack while I’m all for being ravaged early in the morning could we perhaps not….”

Again Jack took his breath away as he kissed the side of his neck but Ianto forced himself to concentrate, "Not quite so public!” he exclaimed.

Jack paused to look at Ianto. The younger man was flushed, his lips red and swollen from the assault of Jack’s mouth, his chest heaving with desire. He’d never looked so alive to Jack. He’d never looked so hot. Jack could feel Ianto’s breathing, his chest rising and falling against his. Jack shifted his hips, rubbing against Ianto, drawing a soft moan from the younger man, a sound that caused Jack’s pulse to race even more. Jack grabbed Ianto’s arm, turned and stalked away from the very public landing.

Ianto chuckled as Jack closed the door to his office. He sank down onto the edge of Jack’s desk, his hands resting on his hips as he watched Jack lean back against the closed door. He noticed the strained look on Jack’s face, the tightness that showed round Jacks’ eyes. And it worried him. Something was wrong. He’d known that as soon as Jack had assault him with that demanding kiss. Something was clearly wrong. Tilting his head to the side, Ianto asked softly, “Not that I mind being ravished by you but can I ask why this morning?”

Jack’s head shot up. He searched Ianto’s face then pushing away from the door replied slowly, “I just needed…needed to know that…” he was stumbling over his words and that was not like Jack. Ianto gave that small supportive shrug, a movement which always made Jack’s blood hot asking ”Needed what?”

“I needed to know you were alive” confessed Jack.

“Alive?”

Jack nodded. He hesitated then explained, “I spent the night watching you die over and over again” his words tumbled out, “I watched you get shot and butchered and I could do nothing. I couldn’t save you” Jack described each scene in detail describing what he saw. As he finished, he looked at Ianto and found the younger man simply staring at him in wide eyes amazement.

Ianto had felt the raw pain in Jack’s words, he could see what the images had done to his captain and part of him was deliriously happy. His death caused so much pain. He quickly hid a happy smile, instead replying, “And I though getting up early was a bitch. Jack,” he smiled at Jack,” I don’t know what to say except - I’m not dead. I’m alive.” His smile morphed into a very sexy grin, “Very alive.”

Jack looked at him and slowly smiled. Yes, he was alive. His Ianto was alive and well. He moved closer, closer enough that he could see the pulse in Ianto’s neck could smell the lingering armour of coffee on Ianto’s suit. He reached out and caught hold of Ianto’s shoulders, pulling the younger man into an embrace that said more than a thousand words.

Ianto placed a chaste kiss on Jack's lips murmuring, ”In fact” he let his lips brush Jack’s as he spoke, ”I’m sure I can show you just how alive I feel right now” He was rewarded with Jack’s gasp as he pressed his hips against Jack’s, knowing it would leave his Capitan in no doubt of his offer.

Jack laughed, a low deep growl of a laugh that caused Ianto to shiver. Ianto grinned and pushed Jack away. Quickly he undid his tie and within seconds he was stripped to the waist. Jack was grinning as he watched Ianto strip, letting out a disappointed whimper when Ianto stopped short of a full strip. About to complain Jack fell silent as Ianto caught hold of his hand and carefully placed it on his chest.

Pressing Jack’s hand flat against his chest, Ianto growled, "See, that’s what you do to my heart when you just touch me…”

He lent forward and kissed Jack on the lips. As he broke the kiss, he grinned saying, "and that is what you do just with your kiss…” he brushed Jack’s lips with small kisses, murmuring, “imagine how fast it would beat if you fuck me…” his voice trailed away as Jack stared at him.

Jack grinned slowly and stepping back to look at the half stripped Ianto, he sighed, "Oh, yeah…”
