Chapter Text
It's a little too late for you to come back
Say it's just a mistake
Think I'd forgive you like that
If you thought I would wait for you
You thought wrong
Ianto was sleeping peacefully in Jacks quarters, partly because he was comfortable and also due to the Retcon, he had no idea John was standing in the doorway, gazing upon him like a lioness stalks her prey. Pondering over and over what he was going to do. How to do it. He circled the Welshman, wondering if he would awaken. He rolled Ianto over and handcuffed him, Ianto didn't even stir.
Meanwhile, across the other side of town, in a small hotel. Panic began to sink in, John had disappeared at least twenty minutes ago and Jack was no closer to getting his wrists free. He squirmed roughly trying to break the bed, the cuffs anything that would budge. But nothing would. He was clearly stuck, his wrists were sore from tugging, his body exhausted from the assault and his mind clouded. Fear ran through his veins, his thoughts were of Ianto and the suffering John would deliver. Jack should have known better to get involved with John. He scolded himself.
Morning was approaching quickly, John made himself at home in the Torchwood hub. He'd made himself breakfast, enjoyed the comfort of Jacks office chair and even found Jacks computer password which was useful. John sent the team a message telling them rather professionally not to come to work. He had a sleeping Ianto downstairs, tied up and due to wake. Taking a teatowel from the kitchen John made his way to his victim.
Ianto had his back to the ceiling and John carefully tied the Welshmans arms behind his back. He couldn't help but comment to himself about Jacks bed, he recalled a time Jack had mentioned preferring a slightly smaller bed, more cuddle room, those were his words. John rolled the teatowel into a gag and climbed ontop of Ianto, he tried to be gentle. Like Jack. Ianto squeezed his eyes as he slowly came too.
It wasn't unusual for Jack to tie Ianto up while he was asleep, it wasn't unusual for Ianto to find Jack upon him when he woke up. But this still managed to feel different. It was too dark to see the figure clearly Ianto ignored his feelings but he wouldn't be able to for much longer. John offered Ianto the gag and he took it, he was unaware John was back in town. John fastened it, then ran his hand through Iantos hair, tugging lightly so he wouldn't give himself away just yet.
John leaned across Iantos body, pressing himself down on the younger man and Ianto responded with a soft groan. John gave the Welshman a soft kiss on the shoulder and brought his head to Iantos to whisper in his ear.
"Good morning Eye-Candy..." Ianto froze, his eyes shot open, widely. John planted a light kiss to Iantos cheek. "...It's nice to see you... In Jacks bed..." Ianto couldn't tell if it was goosebumps or fear he could feel overcoming his body. "Don't worry, we have all day. Jacks a little.... tied up and unable to join us. and as for the rest of Jacks little friends. I gave them the day off... I'm a generous person" John played with Iantos hair some more.
John got off of Ianto to roll him onto his back, he fought with the young Welshman to straddle his hips and sit back upon him once again. "I want to tell you a little story Eye-Candy.." John reached for his holster and retrieved his pistol. ".. and I want to make sure you are listening...Are you listening?" Ianto shifted his eyes between John and his weapon.
John loaded a single bullet into his gun then slowly drew the gun across the side of Iantos head "Once upon a time, There lived a man with God-like features... For discretion... we shall name the man... Captain Jack Harkness...Following me so far, Eye Candy?" Ianto nodded in absolute fear.
"Captain Jack Harkness, is Tall, dark hair, darker eyes, He's mysterious and clever... oh is he clever... But not in this story he isn't... You see Eye-Candy, Captain Jack, like all good men, makes mistakes. Jack works with a small group of people, they think their untouchable. Especially, Jack. You see, Jack is cursed with everlasting life!"
Ianto felt like his wrists were going to break, but he dare not take his eyes from John, not while John waved a gun in his face.
John ran the barrel along the side of Iantos face as if trying to soothe him.
"But what Jack doesn't realise is he can still be killed..." John pushed the barrel to Iantos temple, Ianto realised in any split second John could kill him. The terror began to show as a tear escaped and ran down Iantos cheek. Iantos heart stopped when he heard Johns gun click, John had pulled the trigger.
"I guess you lived to hear chapter two..." John smiled, Ianto sobbed quietly "Captain Jack Harkness... For such a long time now has enjoyed the best of both worlds.." John paused to collect Iantos tear with his tongue and plant a small kiss on the young man. "Most of the time Jack spends his time in a little underground hideout with his faithful companions... Especially a cute, little Welshman... We will call him... Eye-Candy..." John winked, Ianto didn't notice, he was breathing heavily and had his eyes closed, he felt useless, unable to move or defend himself.
"Eye-Candy is a very trusting..." John caressed Ianto and kissed him again "... and an atrractive young man.. It's obvious he is very loyal to Captain Jack Harkness, Eye Candy knows Captain Jack would never do anything to hurt him, he knows Captain Jack loves him... very much... But..." John pushed his gun into Iantos shoulder, Ianto shook with fear, gritted his teeth and held his breath, Click. Ianto cried out in fear, both eyes streamed with tears.
"But occasionally...Jack did stray..." Ianto squeezed his eyes closed, turned his head and sobbed. "Of course... Captain Jack Harkness, the clever man he was...he never had the heart to tell Eye-Candy.. It was always late at night, The Handsome Jack would meet an attractive man from his past...at a cute hotel across town.. We'll call this man, John, Shall we? for good measure.."
"Jack and John, Partners in crime... or they were" John leaned over Iantos body once more, grinding his cock into Ianto who tried to roll away from the touch. John whispered to Ianto "They fucked at the hotel... regularly, in every position, every role play and sometimes added a third person..." John wrapped his arms around Ianto, he planted his lips on Iantos, kissing him softly. "I'd say Jack had it quite good...until" John sighed, he pushed himself away from Iantos face and poked his gun to Iantos lips and rested the barrel of the gun on Iantos gag.
Click. John smiled, as if glad Ianto didn't get a bullet. Iantos hands were completely numb. "Until Jack grew a heart.. He came to the hotel and told John that he was no longer interested in a relationship with him... John was pretty fucking pissed off... As I'm sure you can imagine.." John reached behind Iantos head to remove the gag ".. now why, Eye-candy... why would Jack do that..?"
Ianto spat the gag out, he was too frightened to speak. John pushed the gun into Iantos shoulder roughly making Ianto cry out. "Why.. after all these years, we've been fucking for a long time.. Why would Captain Jack want to put his cute little Eye-Candy at risk now?" Ianto cried.
"Answer... the question, Eye-Candy"
"I don't know..." Ianto whispered "...What have you done to him"
"What have I done to him?" John put the gun to Iantos forehead and pulled the trigger. Ianto flinched when the gun clicked for the fourth time. "hmm... two more shots left..." John whispered to himself. he smiled at Ianto. "Chapter 3?"
"Where is-" Ianto was cut off when John patted him with the gun again. John shushed Ianto.
"Shhh.. Just listen to the story... Jack came to the hotel, the day after having sex with John...amazing sex, I saw him the night before... then last night he comes to me with this amazing idea to break things off..." John tilted his head "... I'm not very happy... John shot Jack, because he figured Jack needed to learn a lesson... Don't worry, I'm sure you're aware.. jack never stays dead" John lifted the gun to his lips and licked the barrel, giving his gun a quick kiss.
"When Jack woke up from his extended sleep... He was locked up and John told him he wanted to play one last game... only one rule... He just had to not cum. not hard is it? Maybe we should play" Iantos eyes widened, if john wanted to rape Ianto, there wasn't much stopping him at the moment. "... but he did.. because he's addicted to the climax, addicted to the game... and addicted to me.. so I gave him a quick kiss and well, here we are now..."
"And what are you're plans now?" Ianto said with a shaky voice.
"Shhh..." John said as he forced his gun into Iantos mouth. Ianto choked as the gun moved across his tongue, his jaw was stretched painfully. "...I haven't really thought that far ahead.. How about if the gun decides you don't die.. I'll fuck you..." John leaned on the gun forcing it into Iantos mouth a small bit further, he gave Ianto another quick kiss "... but.. I'll fuck you softly so it doesn't hurt you anymore than Jack does...." John moved the gun in and out of Iantos mouth. "or would you rather I just fuck you without the gun?" John removed the gun. He awaited Iantos answer.
"...yes..." Ianto had run out of options, John only had six spots in his pistol.. and four had gone by. John smiled. he put the gun back in his holster. "Yes what?"
"yes... Sir..."
"Good boy" John ran his hand along Iantos face. He leaned into Ianto for another kiss, sticking his tongue inside Ianto. John felt excited that Ianto didn't bite or fight back, he pulled back and his head met the barrel of another gun.
"Get off him now" Jacks stern and angry voice.
"Jack... I'm a little surprised.." John raised his hands
"Surprised I haven't pulled the trigger? Get off of him. Now." Jack took a step back to give John room. John moved slowly.
"How did you get out?"
"I found a way...What did you do to him?"
"More than you ever did.. I told him the truth...about us.. About you." Jack felt ashamed he looked at Ianto.
"Ianto... I- .. I'm so sorry I didn't tell you" But Jack had made a mistake, he took his eyes off John. John siezed the opportunity and tackled Jack. The two men rolled about the floor, each of them trying to get the upper hand on the other.
John got hold of the gun first raising it to Jack. It didn't stop him. Jack knocked Johns hand, successfully tossing the gun across the room, Jack dived for it, knowing the person to get the gun first, won. Jack got the gun in his hand, smiling inside to himself, finally beginning to feel like he'd won when the bullet ripped through his chest. Jacks vision slowly started to blur 'Turned my back on him... ' Jack thought as he dropped his favourite pistol. He could hear Ianto screaming in the background.
"JACK!!" Ianto had seen Jack die too many times, but each time felt like the first, Iantos heart broke as Jacks body slummed over and he faded into the darkness. "No!" Ianto pulled at his bindings, wanting to hold the captain.
"Shut up.." Johns vision shifted between Captain Jack and Ianto. It finally dawned on the young Welshman that John had shot Jack. He had shot Jack with the same gun he had pointed at his head. Ianto gagged at the thought. Would John have shot him? "Shut... up..." John repeated slowly even though Ianto hadn't said anything. Jack wasn't meant to turn up. How did he get out?
John ignored Iantos frantic questions and screams of protest as he dragged Jacks body to the head of the bed. He placed Jack in a sitting position and handcuffed Jacks hands to the head of the bed giving him a little bit of room to move. Mostly, he would be able to turn his body around and see his two lovers. John checked his watch, it usually took Jack on average to come back after fifteen minutes of being shot. Jack had been out for seven minutes now.
"Waiting... It's the hardest part isn't it Eye-Candy?"
"W-Why are you doing this?" Ianto was still stopping himself from throwing up all over himself.
"Weren't you listening? I'm pretty annoyed..."
"... I- Ah-...Be-Because... He doesn't want to continue fucking you? because he grew a conscious?"
"I'm petty..." John collected the gag off the bed and forced it into Jacks mouth. "Oh, I nearly forgot, we were in the middle of something..." John climbed on the bed over a frightened Jones. Ianto tried to pull back but the bedding would only allow him to go so far. "I have wondered if you're sensitive..."
Ianto froze as John unbuttoned his shirt. What could he do? Protest? John lightly grazed over Iantos chest with a finger which sent shivers through Ianto once John met a nipple. John brushed the finger over the hardening nipple back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. Ianto tried to focus on Jack he would wake soon.
John caught Iantos eyes shifting back to Jack so he lowered his head and bit into Iantos nipple and Ianto gasped in response. He couldn't take his eyes off John as his nipple was sucked and tormented. He had his teeth locked together to prevent any extra noises that might encourage Johns behaviour.
A muffled scream eventually came from the captain and Jack took a moment to get a handle on his barrings with only Ianto on his mind. He shook his hands hoping they were loose, even though he knew they wouldn't be.
"Jack.. Nice of you to join us..." Johns calm voice sent fire through Jack as anger built up inside him. He twisted his body around to see John on top of his coworker. What had he done to Ianto? Sweat started to form on Jacks forehead. John was such an unpredictable soul. He had proven this many times on jobs the that two had preformed together. The way Jack glared at John as if silently warning him away. Not that John would listen even if he were in his right mind.
Ianto looked too fearful to speak out, he mouthed Jacks name to him in a small plea for help, help that wouldn't come so long as John had them both in chains. It would have been a sweet moment, except that John had seen him. John moved his hand through Iantos hair, almost petting him before gripping tightly yanking his head to look at him. Ianto yelped softly trying not to respond as best as he could.
The two locked eyes for an eternity while John considered what he would do, it was a card game between the three men and it was Johns turn to deal. Ianto felt Johns breath on his face and Ianto watched helplessly as Johns face became slowly closer to his own forcing Ianto into a kiss as Jack watched on in disgust. John bit into Iantos bottom lip pulling it as he withdrew from the forced encounter.
"Mmmm.... You're so delicious..."
"Get away from me.." Ianto whispered in a weak, beaten tone, his lips were shaking and left feeling sore. His tone was so soft. So quiet and weak John barely comprehended that he'd said anything at all.
"Aww... Now where's the fun in that?" John pressed his lips momentarily to Iantos again. And again. Ianto turned his head lightly each time in a vain attempt to pull away. He could hear Jacks grunts and groans of protest and eventually John leaned back into Iantos hips.
"Don't take it personally... You're just not my type.." Ianto wished he'd sounded tougher he was sadly met with a smile from John. He pulled out a small blue pill and Ianto knew what it was.
"I don't take it personally.. Sometimes we all need help"
Ianto felt like his heart was trying to pull itself right out of his chest, his eyes couldn't pull away from the pill, Viagra. John put the pill in his mouth for storage and lunged at Iantos head prying his mouth open, he'd pulled a bottle of water out and forced it into Iantos mouth.
Ianto shook and struggled against the former time agent and John retrieved the pill and once he'd forced it into Iantos mouth he held the coffee boys jaw ensuring Ianto wouldn't spit it out. His fingers closed around Iantos nose and Iantos body began to swallow in a desperate attempt for air. The little blue pill slowly made its way through Iantos body.
Ianto coughed and held back vomit when John let him breathe. While he waited for the pill to kick in he gave Jack some attention.
"You know, I'm glad you're here... We can do this together... How we should have, from the start... Now, I'm going to kill you again..." John paused to look at Ianto who had choked at the thought "Not because I want to.. but because I need to move you.." He pulled his gun out and reloaded the pistol. Jack stared long and hard at John, he refused to let Johns words get to him. Jack wasn't scared of death, he was scared of what death caused- the hurt and heartbreak of those around him. Ianto would have to watch him die, again. John cocked the gun and pointed it at Jack. Ianto didn't even have time to plead for Jacks life as the bullet cleared straight through Jacks skull.
Iantos soul hide itself away, his subconscious crawlled into a small space deep inside. Noone would find him here. Noone. Part of his conscious watch John pull and manouver Jacks limp body across the bed. But his mind still hide away. It didn't matter what John did to him in this state because he ran on auto, whatever happened to him right now- right at this very point- would be forgotten. It would be as if it never really happened. The space Ianto was in, it was surrounded by the fragments of his broken heart as his mind relived Jack being shot. Over and over and over again. The sound just as loud as when John pulled the trigger.
John said something. Ianto didn't hear what, nor could he comprehend any words that were said. He felt dizzy, like wanting to pass out. Iantos eyes were heavy and his stomach felt cruel and twisted. Ianto's conscious eventually watched Jack wake up. He could see Jack asking him if he were okay. He was unable to respond. Just blink slowly and wait for the shock to settle. Jacks body was tied across the bed, crossing over Iantos. John had used rope around Jacks legs to hold them to the side of the bed and chains around Jacks wrists to lock him down.
Jack called out to Ianto in an attempt to bring him back to the room. Slowly Ianto began to hear his lover call for him.
"Ianto? Ianto? What did you do to him!? Ianto- Please!" Iantos eyes shifted and finally made eye contact with the captain.
"J.. Jack?"
"Ianto! Are you okay? Are you hurt?" Jack spoke so quickly it took Ianto a moment to work out what questions had been asked. Instead of replying he looked to John. Pure fear ran through his veins. What was John going to do now?
"Welcome back Eye-Candy" Johns low voice purred.
"John..." Jack pleaded "Don't... Don't hurt him..." He pulled at his restraints wishing them to give way. "..Please.."
"Hm... Can't promise that..." John eyed Ianto as if steadily stalking prey in the wild. "Right!" Johns eyes quietly trailed to Iantos lap "You look ready.." the gin was unwelcomed on Johns face.
