Rating: NC17 for series
“The very first time I went back past I found a pub I liked the look of,” Ianto began to explain. “the landlady is great – red-headed and fiery – and she made me feel really welcome.”
“And she's taken you say?” Rhys asked, wriggling an eyebrow.
“Very, to a local copper,” Ianto answered. “anyway, I asked for a drink before realising that I didn't have any money to pay for it and this bloke at the bar offered to pay for it for me.”
“And so you felt you had to take him outside and shag him as a thank you?” Rhys laughed.
“Don't be daft!” Ianto retorted, unable not to laugh himself at his friends question. “No, I've not … shagged him as you so eloquently put it, or him me before you ask but ...”
“But what?” Rhys urged. “Come on, talk to me!”
“We've kissed,” Ianto admitted, flushing pink at the memory of the reaction it caused to his body.
“So, are you trying to tell me that you've just discovered your bisexual?” Rhys asked. “Or have you thought you might have been for years and have ignored the feeling? Fuck, all those times we shared a bed as kids, teenagers … we're you wondering if you should jump me?”
“Nope, I can't really explain it,” Ianto sighed. “until I met Jack I had never found myself interested in men, it's just him.”
“Bloody hell!” Rhys exclaimed. “I can see why you're all at sea about this. So,tell me more about him, you say he's a Captain?”
“In the RAF yes, he's American too,” Ianto answered.
“Over sexed and over here,” Rhys chuckled, remembering the words his grandmother used to say when she spoke about the war.
“He's slightly taller than me but by barely an inch,” Ianto continued, ignoring his mates comment. “brown hair and his eyes, they are the kind of blue you could drown in.”
“Good looking bloke then?” Rhys asked.
“Like a film star,” Ianto answered with a small smile.
“And you're really willing to continue this … affair with him?” Rhys asked, becoming serious. “Risking what you have with Lisa? What about the baby?”
“I've been thinking about that,” Ianto replied. “there is no way they could ever meet, they live – lived in Jack's case – in completely different eras, neither of them would have to know.”
“Are you telling me that you're considering forging a life back in the 1940's with this Jack while staying married to Lisa?” Rhys asked his friend, not sure he could believe what the other man was saying. “That you will be effectively be living to separate lives?”
“Yep,” Ianto replied. “I love Lisa, despite our fights and I don't want to leave her or our baby.”
“But you also want to be with Jack?” Rhys asked him. “A man who you barely know and is, well a man?”
“I know, I know, it all sounds so stupid,” Ianto groaned in reply. “I really like him Rhys, but I don't want to fuck up my life here.”
“So, you want you cake and be able to eat it?” Rhys asked. “As my mother is fond of saying?”
“If you put it like that, then yes,” Ianto admitted.
“Bloody hell mate, rather you than me,” Rhys grinned. “I have enough trouble with keeping up with Gwen, let alone an affair with another woman.”
“This is Gwen you're talking about though,” Ianto chuckled.
“True,” Rhys agreed. “Have you checked him out?”
“Checked him out? In what way?” Ianto asked with a small frown.
“It's the second world war Ianto, he's in the Air Force,” Rhys replied. “do I need to spell it out?”
“You mean have I checked to find out if he survives the war?” Ianto asked in reply.
“Exactly, I'm not trying to me nasty but he could die in battle at any time,” Rhys said quietly. “if I was you I'd check it out before committing yourself to anything, getting in deeper than you already are.”
“I've thought about it, but I'm scared at what I might find,” Ianto told him.
“Hey, he could still be alive and well,” Rhys grinned.
“And very old!” Ianto exclaimed. “He's got to be in his mid thirties at the time I know him, he'd be over a hundred if he was still around.”
“That's no unknown,” Rhys grinned. “maybe you should see if he is, look him up and see if he remembers you.”
“No, I think that would be a very bad idea,” Ianto said, shaking his head negatively. “but I do think you're right, I should check out his history, as you say, he could be killed in action before we've really got to know each other properly.”
“And by that you mean shagged him?” Rhys asked, bursting out into loud laughter at the look on his friends face. “Look Ianto, if you really are serious about this thing continuing with Jack you're going to have to get past the kissing stage, I get the feeling this bloke is the typical kind of yank my grandmother used to tell me about, will shag anyone – well, normally women but you know what I mean?”
Ianto nodded. “From what Donna's told me, yeah.”
“Look, all I can say is that it's your life,” Rhys replied. “if you think you can handle all the deceit that's going to come with this then good luck to you and I promise I won't say a word to Gwen but please be careful, yeah? And check out this bloke before you let yourself get in any deeper?”
“I will,” Ianto agreed, finishing the last of his pint. “I should get home, back to Lisa.”
“Good,” Rhys told him. “she doesn't deserve to be hurt no matter what happens.”
“I'd never hurt her, I can promise you that,” Ianto said, pulling on his coat.
“Can you really promise that?” Rhys asked him.
“I hope so,” Ianto replied. “I'll call you soon.”
“Sure, night,” Rhys answered, watching his mate leave the pub before pulling out his mobile to let Gwen know he'd be home soon.

Thank you :D

I'm not sure it's in the character of Ianto.
Although, given what he did in the series ....
Anyway, Rhys gives good advice
