A/N: good ol' high school au.
~~~~
JACKS POV:
I was looking around the school for my friends and boyfriend. I soon see them, hearing my friend Gwen's laugh. I make my way over to them and sit down.
"Jack, hi!!"
Gwen says as she spots me.
"he-"
I get cutoff by my boyfriend occupying my lips.
"john-"
he says, trying to break free. John chuckles.
"Sorry..I just can't help it." His eyes make there way from me to Ianto, who was sitting next to tosh.
"Oi, Jones! Get me some water will you."
Ianto nods quickly, getting up and going to get Johns water.
"Hey, you could at least call him by his first name."
I say to John, sitting back in my seat with my arms crossed.
"Why should I?" He replies. "All he does is get us stuff. He's like our butler." This causes Owen and Rhys to laugh. "He's more than just a butler." I say, adding quite an annoyed sigh. "Whatever you say, dear." John says. Ianto comes back with Johns water. As John goes to get it he knocks it out of Ianto's hand and it pours down his shirt. "oops..." John says, owen and rhys quite frankly dying of laughter. "John!" I shout, grabbing some tissue and handing it to Ianto. "oh come on, jack! It was funny!" Rhys says. "Oh you can shut up too." I spit back. I help Ianto dry off and sit next to him, leaving John with a confused look. The group falls silent for a few minutes until John gets up and very dramatically takes his leave.
IANTO'S POV:
After lunch, I walk to my maths class. I sigh, my classroom being on the other side of the school to where the canteen is. I'm halfway there when i get pushed into the wall. I frown, looking at who pushed me. "John?! What are you doing?.." John just pushes me more into the wall. "I don't want you near Jack. Or any of the group rather. Stay away." He punches me in the face as a warning and walked off. I stand there shocked. Did he just kick me out of the group?! What did I do..I shake my head, wiping the blood from my lip and continue walking to my class.

When I get to my classroom, i sit at the back in my normal seat. As I'm writing things down, someone sits down next to me. "Hey Ianto." uh oh. I recognise that accent. I don't look up as I don't want him to worry about my lip and the bruise forming around it. "Jack." I reply. "Are you okay?" ugh. he's going to be persistent, isn't he. I give in and look up at him. I open my mouth to speak but he gets there before me. "what happened to your lip?!" He almost shouts. "shh!!..don't yell!" I sit back in my seat, covering my mouth. "Yan, tell me what happened." I sigh, sitting back in my chair. "John doesn't want me near you or the group..he told me then punched me." Jack frowns, playing with his pen. "John did that to you?? why?!" I shrug, biting my nail. "I'm not sure. You shouldn't be with him, Jack. He'll end up hurting you." "Don't worry about me" he replies, focusing on his work. "I do worry about you. He's dangerous." He doesn't reply, just continues writing. I take the hint and stop talking, starting my own work.

The school day ends and I walk down the hall. I catch Johns eye and walks faster. "JONES." shit. "DON'T RUN AWAY FROM ME EYE CANDY!" I stop, looking at John. He makes his way to me. "I thought I told you to stay away from Jack" How did he know. "Jack told me." Oh. "If you talk to him or the group again I swear i'll kill you. I nod. John genuinely scared me sometimes. "Now get lost." I quickly make my way home. How can he do that? Once I get home I run up to my room and open my phone, messaging Jack.
Ianto:
Jack?? Why would you tell John I spoke to you after I told you what he said and did?!
Jack:
Ianto, I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to. I was telling him about my day, and I mentioned that I spoke to you. Did he do anything to you?
Ianto:
Well, he said he'd kill me if spoke to you or the group. He didn't hurt me again, though.
Jack:
Oh my. Ianto I really am sorry. I cant be with John if he said that! I'll be back, give me a second.
JACKS POV:
I put my phone down on my bed. Did John really say that to him? Well..I guess it's finally time to do what i've been so scared of. Breaking up with John Hart. I pick up my phone, messaging John to meet me outside my house. Half an hour later, we are standing outside.
"Why did you want me here baby?..Did you want some fun?" I gag in my head. "No, John. The opposite." He steps closer to me. "What do you mean?" I look down but quickly looking back up. I don't want to seem scared. "We're breaking up, John." "What." His face looks murderous. "We're breaking up. Do you need me to say it in German? Wir trennen uns." He pushes me against my door. "Don't do this to me, Jack. Are you going to run off with eye candy or something?!" I roll my eyes, laughing in disbelief. "I know what you did and what you said to him, John! You can't just say that to people..Please, leave. I don't want anything to do with you." I put my hand on my door handle. "You're pathetic. I thought you loved me." He spits. "I did. But not anymore. I thought I told you to leave." John makes a sound scarily similar to a growl, and turns around, walking off. I do a relived sigh, going back into my house. I run back up to my room, grabbing my phone and messaging Ianto.
Jack:
Ianto! I have news.
Ianto:
What? Is John on his way to kill me?
Jack:
No, Ianto. I broke up with him. I've been wanting to do that for ages.
Ianto:
No way, really? How is he going to act at school..
Jack:
I don't mind, yan. If he tries anything, I'll be sure to stop him.
Ianto:
Thank you, Jack.
After that, I put my phone down again. Ianto was right, though. John could come for me. But I don't think i'm scared anymore. I guess we'll find out..
IANTO POV:
Jack broke up with John..for me?..no. He said he wanted to do it for ages. But he did it after I was threatened..no Ianto, stop it. I push myself off my bed and go to brush my teeth. It was only like 6pm but I could feel my eyes closing. I end up falling asleep to a random show playing on my phone.
~~
The next day, it's the weekend. Jack had asked if i wanted to hang out. I said yes. of course. I like Jack, he's nice..funny. and really attractive. See, I used to get bullied for being bisexual, but when almost the whole school saw John and Jack snog, they've laid off. Mainly because everyone is terrified of them. Jack said he wanted to go into town, so thats what we did. We walk around shops and cafes until settling on a place to eat.
"What do you want?" Jack asks me, his head tilted ever so slightly.
"um.." I look around at all the people. "i'll just have a salad." I shrug, my leg bouncing. "Oh come on, you have to eat more than that..I'll get a pizza to share." He dismisses my reply with his hand. I sit back, sighing. I didn't like eating..everyone else looked so thin. I wanted to be like them. Like he was reading my mind, jack talks. "you need to eat, Yan." I love when he calls me Yan. "nobody cares about what you look like..okay?" He places his hand over mine on the table. "alright.." I give him a weak smile, then look down, trying to cover my red cheeks. Why am I blushing.. After a while, our pizza comes and we start eating, talking about anything and everything. A few hours later, we're walking home. "Did you enjoy today?" Jack asks me. I nod "of course!..it was amazing." Jack smiles. "can we do it again tomorrow?.." "yeah..I'm not doing anything." I smile, stopping outside my house. "great! I'll pick you up at 10." I nod. "See you then, Jack." "Bye Ianto!" I walk into my house and I immediately blush. Do i..like Jack..probably. I mean, I know I like guys..but Jack? I guess I need to accept it. He's so beautiful..his hair..his eyes, his smile..I sigh and smile, going up to my room and waiting for tomorrow.
~~A Few Weeks Later~~
JACKS POV:
I'm with Ianto in a park, eating pizza. It's the same pizza we had a few weeks back. I really like him. He's so cute..I'm going to tell him today. Or..like right now. I get pulled out of my thoughts by Ianto. "Are you alright, Jack?" He says, his adorable smile tugging on his lips. "Yeah..hey, I wanted to ask you something." I turn to him. "go ahead!" his smile now fully visible. "I was wondering if you wanted to go out with me. Like a proper date.." Ianto falls silent. Fuck. What if he doesn't like me like that??... "of course I will!" I stare at Ianto, smiling. I pull him into a big hug. I feel him hug back. "What about John?" he asks, I sigh, pulling away from the hug. "He can't say anything, okay?..you matter more." I see him blush, which makes me smile. "tomorrow?.." He nods "yeah..tomorrow." We get up at the same time and I look into his eyes. God they're beautiful..I blink and notice he's staring at me too. I didn't notice we had gotten closer to each other until our lips were seconds away. I slowly move my hand to Ianto's cheek, inching closer. Our lips meet and my eyes flutter closed. His lips are soft, and taste like his chapstick. I feel Ianto's hand in my hair, I smile into the slow, sweet kiss.
We pull apart very slowly, our eyes opening. "I've wanted to do that for ages.." I confess, my thumb gently rubbing his cheek. "me too.." he says.
