Chapter 6 – I'm leaving.
Jack frowned at me and Ianto looked like I had just slapped him. That sort of shocked look, with his mouth hanging open like a fish.
I couldn't say anything either. I was rigid in shock. Tom was my best friend, yes but I still had no clue what happened. Once I knew, he would know too. I have to get out of here was all I could think.
"Gentlemen" I said with a nod of my head ad then promptly walked out of door and back to my bedroom. I moved the chest of drawers in front of the door so they couldn't get in. I needed room to think. I sat crossed legged on the floor. Hands either side of my body, palms down, resting lightly on the floor. I took deep breaths and tried to calm down, this way my brain could work almost logically and not be overcome by worry or panic.
It could be worse you could have had a threesome with your boss and the guy who really likes you and who you really like too... Oh no wait! That's what did happen! Even my thoughts are sarcastic, wonderful.
I could hear Jack and Ianto knocking on the door, trying to talk to me but I ignored it. I was too deep in my thoughts to be disturbed.
Then a little niggling voice in the back of my head spoke.
You know you don't really mind it. Why are you fighting so hard to deny it? Let it be.
I knew the voice was right but to be honest the reason I fought against it was because…well…I knew to Jack it didn't mean anything, which was sad. Ianto knew what it was like to be with Jack and for it not to mean anything. I didn't want it to happen to him again or to me either. Ianto had his own life to live and I knew one day he would make some lucky girl very happy. I can't get in the way of that. I have to leave Torchwood Cardiff and go back to Glasgow. Either get another job hunting aliens or get ret conned and forget Ianto and Jack ever existed?
I opened my eyes and stood up. Ianto and Jack were now hammering at the door, shouting. The chest of drawers was wobbling dangerously.
"Cool it! I'm fine!" I had to shout at the top of my lungs for them to hear me. The hammering stopped.
"Will you please let us in? Ianto was on the verge of climbing up the drainpipe and in the window" Jack sounded serious.
"Thanks Jack" Ianto's sarcastic reply floated through the door. It made me laugh. I knew I had to face them sometimes and talk about the situation we were in. I moved the chest of drawers, took a deep breath and opened the door. I looked right at them, their eyes were huge. Ianto stepped forward, his face still looked worried. He wrapped his arms around me and I locked me arms around his waist. I felt his lips press lightly against my hair. Jack smiled at us. Looking at no one in particular I asked the question that I knew I couldn't put off any longer.
"What…where…where do we go now?" My voice was quiet and I could feel sadness ready to overwhelm me. Jack thought for a minute and then an idea seemed to hit him.
"We all know what happened last night. Sadly no details, but that can't be helped." I could almost hear Ianto rolling his eyes. Jack continued regardless.
"I however have the answer"
"Of course you do" I tried hard not to laugh but it was funny. Jack pouted at us so I let go of Ianto and hugged Jack.
"You were saying Jack" I mumbled into his chest.
"Hmmm, yes. You and Ianto are obviously good together, even if it hurts to say it. I love you Ianto but you need to move on to…someone else"
"I love you too Jack" Ianto's voice had gone thick with emotion. I quickly let go of Jack and jumped out the way. Jack and Ianto kissed, it was really sweet and yet pierced me at the same time. The broke apart and Jack held Ianto in his arms.
"I know what I need to do" Again I was talking quietly.
"What?" They both said in unison.
"Well first I need to leave Torchwood. Then I need to be ret-conned and forget everything. Can I be in Glasgow when it happens?"
"You're not leaving!" Ianto's voice pierced the silence that had fallen between the three of us.
"I have to. You need to forget I ever came here. You two belong together, I messed things up. It's better if I go" I turned around. I needed to make plans to leave; getting dressed would be a start. Jack caught my wrist and turned me back around to face them.
"You are not leaving; you're staying here with…us"
"And what are we going to do. All three of us be together and fall into each others bed whenever it takes our fancy!" I could tell Ianto was trying to figure it out. A solution to suit us all but there isn't one to be found.
"Yes" Jack said carefully, looking at my face and Ianto's, judging our reactions. Ianto again was looking like a goldfish and I suppose so did I.
"You're…mad" It was the only way to describe his plan. The corner of Ianto's lips twitched and I knew he was fighting a smile.
"Will it work?" If I hadn't seen Ianto's lips move, I'd never have known he had said it.
"I think so…I know of another situation like this, it was years ago, different species. It worked. They had to be careful though. Know one else knew. I guess that's why it worked." I mulled over what I had heard carefully. It was a this point Jack realised he was still holding me wrist and quickly let go.
"Ianto?" I said. "What do you think?" Ianto had been very quiet for all of this.
"I think…it could work but won't it be weird?"
"Probably" I agreed.
"To begin with but couldn't we at least try it, for a month and if it doesn't work then at least we tried" I nodded, Jack grinned at us both, evidently very happy we agreed with his month trial.
"What do we do first?" Jack looked at Ianto and to which he gave a quick nod. Next thing I knew my legs were knocked from under me and Jack caught me inches before I hit the ground. I growled at him.
"So not cool" Jack laughed at my reply still holding my up, Ianto lifted my legs so I was suspended between them. They carried me over to the bed and Ianto shut the door behind him with a swift kick.

A/N: That's the end. I know it's sort of crap but I had no idea how to finish it. It seemed the best way of the several endings I thought of. Please read and review, especially cause it's the last chapter. :(
