_____________________________________
As Ianto takes Jack’s hand and moves into his arms, it becomes quite obvious Jack’s mind – and heart – aren’t really into it. Were he anyone else he probably wouldn’t have noticed in the first place, but he’s danced with Jack before and this right here isn’t dancing *with* Jack. Because Jack has a way of making you feel special, cherished, like you’re the only one that matters when you’re in his arms – or at least that’s how it felt to Ianto last time – and at this very moment Ianto feels anything but.

It doesn’t take a genius to figure out what – and who – Jack is thinking about. That, in turn, makes Ianto dwell on a subject he usually avoids contemplating, because he may have come into this relationship with his eyes wide open he hadn’t quite thought he would up against *this*.
