A/N Not sure if there will be an xmas fic today, am very very tired after being out last night ... and out again this evening!

It took all Jack's restraint to not break the speed limits as he drove the short distance to Gwen and Rhys' flat, managing to find a parking spot nearby he locked the car and ran the short to the front door, his finger ringing impatiently on the bell.

“Hello.” Rhys' voice came over the intercom.

“It's Jack.”

Rhys pressed the button that allowed Jack to let himself in and opened the door to the flat, waiting by it for Jack to appear which he did a few minutes later.

“He still asleep?” Jack asked quietly as he walked into the flat.

“Yes, absolutely sparko he must have been shattered.”

“He's barely slept for days, it'll do him good. Where is he?”

“Sofa in the living room, coffee?”

“Thanks.”

Rhys headed off to the kitchen and Jack to the living room, seeing Ianto lying there Jack just wanted to pull him into his arms and hold him tight. He knew Rhys had been telling him what his head knew and his heart was trying to deny, that Ianto was heading into depression and needed help.

Jack took his coat off and lay it over the back of the armchair, then placed a soft kiss to the top of Ianto's head and pulled the blanket Rhys had covered him with back straight and then went to find Rhys in the kitchen, Rhys handed him as mug of coffee as he entered the room.

Jack took a sip. “Not bad.”

“I'll take that as a great compliment, as I've tasted Ianto's coffee.” Rhys smiled.

“I'm going to make him see Chloe in the morning, you're right Rhys, we can't let him go on like this.”

“It's a hard thing to admit, that you're feeling depressed but once Ianto sees that it's for his own good it will be a good start. I meant what I said, he can talk to me anytime and it will help, maybe even more than drugs. But I still they have their place, we need to nip this in the bud.”

“I've been thinking and I know what you say is right, I just didn't want to believe it.”

“Jack?” Ianto's voice called out a little unsurely from the living room, having seen what looked like Jack's coat resting over the back of the armchair.

Rhys stayed in the kitchen as Jack rushed off to the living room, smiling softly to himself at the half awake look on Ianto's face and his sleep tussled hair. He was still lying on the soft, looking towards the door as Jack entered.

Jack moved to his side and knelt on the floor, kissing him gently on the lips.

“You okay?” He asked brushing his fingers through Ianto's hair.

“I think so, I can't believe I fell asleep.”

“Talking helped you release some pent up tension I think, made you relax a little.”

“Maybe, but I still feel the same about what happened, what I did.”

“I've been talking to Rhys and we've both come the the same conclusion, we both think that maybe you are becoming a bit depressed.”

“Oh no, I'm sure its nothing like that, I'm just upset with myself over it.”

“Exactly and it will drag you down, I want you to talk to Chloe tomorrow. I'll see her with you, see what she recommends.”

“You mean drugs, aren't the addictive?”

“Not always, and I think it wouldn't probably be a short term thing.”

“I'll talk to Chloe, but I'm not sure about the drug side of it.”

“Hey, I might be completely wrong, we'll do whatever Chloe suggests okay?”

“If I say yes, will you take me home?”

Jack smiled. “Of course, up you get sleepyhead.”

They left a few minutes later after thanking Rhys and headed back to their house, Claire now gone to bed and the house was quiet. After a quick check on the twins they got themselves ready for bed, Jack spooning against Ianto's back and held him tight till he fell asleep.

Ianto lay wrapped in Jack's arms desperately trying to get back to sleep, he just wished he could get him mind to switch off and stop thinking about what had happened. Talking to Rhys had helped, maybe they were right about taking antidepressants?

He was getting to a point where he thought if he didn't try something else he would go mad, yes, he would talk to Chloe and do whatever she thought was best. He closed his eyes and focused on Jack's breathing, trying to block out any thoughts and hoped sleep would come.
