A bunch of Janto one shots

Dyin' aint so bad

Lyrics are in bold Italics. Song is Dyin' aint so bad from Bonnie and Clyde the musical. I DO NOT OWN THE CHARACTERS OR SONG

Dyin' aint so bad

Not if you both go together

Only when ones left behind does it get sad

But a short and lovin' life

That ain't so bad

Jack looked at the younger male at the mention of the gas and his eyes widened "Ianto. You need to get out" he ran to his side. In response the male shook his head "It's too late sir, i've breathed in the air" Jack wrapped his arms around Ianto ad held him "Ianto no please" he tightened his grip and started to feel the toxic air entering his lungs his smile weakening as Iantos legs buckled underneath him. He fell into Jack's embrace a little more, all his weight being transferred to the older male. Iantos legs felt like they weren't even there, then his vision blurred, before he knew it all he heard was a muffled voice to which sounded like my name? Then he felt something cold against my back, Jack's hand helping to the ground, the gas that filled his lungs made everything painless, but he was losing everything else.

I hope only to God that I go first

I couldn't live on memories

I'm sorry, but I'm not that strong

Ianto looked at Jack and blinked several times "Jack i mean this in the nicest way possible, i hope i go first because i can't watch you die and know you will just come back. It hurts to much knowing this won't affect you long term" Jack cupped Iantos cheek "You are stronger than you think, Jones, Ianto Jones" He stroked his thumb across Ianto's cheek

There are some things in life you can't replace

A love like ours don't happen twice

When all his days are through

Mine will be to

"I can't hold much longer, It's getting too much Jack" he winced in Jack's arms. Ianto never dreamed he would end like this, he thought it would be a natural death. A heart attack or something mundane not a poisonous gas released by an alien who uses children as a drug. Ianto gripped Jack's shirt to steady himself, his vision still blurry and voices muffled, Mica and David had to be saved, his niece and nephew couldn't die because he made a mistake. His sister wouldn't appreciate it if she had to attend 3 funerals in one day especially if all 3 were immediate family. He had failed Rhiannon and Jonny. "I felt a connection between us since day 1 of working in Torchwood. I know I was with Lisa but there has always been something about you Captain Jack Harkness," he said weakly as he breathed in more of the toxic gas. Jack hushed Ianto a little "You are going to get through this we both are" tears threatened to fall down the older mans face

Not if you both go together

Only when one's left behind does it get sad

But a short and lovin' life

That ain't so bad

Jack smiled and gently kissed Ianto's cheek refusing to let the male out of his arms. Iantos grip started to weaken on Jack's shirt and his eyes flickered the light slowly leaving his ocean blue eyes. He looked up and Jack and rest his head fully in the man's embrace "It was a good yeah?" Jack nodded as a tear slowly fell "Yeah" he kissed Ianto gently "Please don't leave me not yet".

I've met boys who talk 'about farms and horses

And they don't do much for me

I don't need to end up in a rockin' chair

Jack ran a hand through Ianto's dark brown hair and placed his coat over him "Ianto stay with me please, I haven't loved anyone like i love you. Please don't leave me, I had plans to grow old together. Maybe have kids you always were good with kids. I had a date planned" he started crying more now as he felt Ianto start to get cold "I wanted to grow old with you, well i wanted to, but i know i can't"

Seems you get to live your life just once

If that's how it's gotta be

Then I'd rather breathe in life than dusty air

Ianto looked at Jack and with his last breath he mumbled "I love you" his whole body went limp and tears fell from Jacks face onto Ianto reds shirt making it damp with his tears that seemed to flow constantly and never stop. The man he wanted to spend time with, the man he wanted to watch grow old. The man he wanted to maybe adopt children with? Dead because of an alien, dead because of toxic air. Now he was alone once more.

Dyin' ain't so bad

Not if you both go together

Only when you're left alone does it get sad

But a short and lovin' life

He became conscious of the man in his arms, conscious of the toxic air entering his lungs so suddenly. Now his focus was no longer on the male he could feel himself slowly dying, his body slowly deteriorated before he took his final breath holding Iantos hand in his as he lay down next to the suited male.

A short and lovin' life

A short and lovin' life

That ain't so bad

Both of them were gone. Their relationship was weird and formed in circumstances much beyond people's belief but it was just him. It was just Jack Harkness that Ianto Jones felt this way for. They weren't a couple they both didn't like that word but they were together...even when they died
