Jack grabbed the hand that Ianto hadn’t been holding out. Ianto pulled it away and Jack sighed. He grabbed his hand one more time, firmly to show the Welsh boy he meant business. Ianto stared at Jack then glared. He tried pulling his hand away, but Jack held strong. Ianto gave him a glare, but he saw the blush in the other man’s cheeks.
They walked on like this, Ianto looking miserable and Jack looking proud of himself. Ianto kept trying to pull away, but Jack held him steady. It also looked like he was keeping the other man prisoner at this point.
“What are you scared of?” Jack asked not even looking at him.
“I’m not scared of anything. Why would you ask something stupid like that?” Ianto asked deflecting the question in a way that was so obvious it seemed unbecoming such a smart man. Jack had to roll his eyes and asked again.
“First of all, that’s not true. Off the top of my head I can name ten things you are scared of. None of which of them are spiders or heights, but no one said they had to be. Secondly, you’re horrible at evading. You’re scared of being seen with me in a romantic sense,” Jack said looking over at Ianto who was paying a lot of attention to the ground.
“I’m not the sort to be affectionate in public places,” Ianto said and Jack had to laugh. Ianto wasn’t a good lair, least not when lying to him.
“I’ve seen the pictures of you and Liza. Out in public kissing, cuddling, holding hands, everything,” Jack said and he got himself a more hurt glare from Ianto.
“You’ve got no right to bring her up,” Ianto snapped, “That was low.”
“It was true. Interracial not a problem but homosexual is?” Jack asked firmly.
“I’ve never called myself-”Ianto started.
“But that’s what we are right now,” Jack interrupted, “Ever time you let me kiss you, that’s what we are. Want to stop in the name of not challenging your sexuality?”
“Oh god,” Ianto said rolling his eyes and turning away.
“Jizo would be more forgiving of this,” Jack suggested and Ianto stared at him confused.
“What?” he demanded obviously getting irritated.
“And here I thought you were an educated man,” Jack said than sighed, “All I’m trying to say is I’m tired of getting treated like your secret when we go out. The fact you went out of your way to call me your boss in front of the waitress tonight had a little something to do with it.”
“Ah,” Ianto said his head going down again, “Well, it’s just…”
“It’s new,” Jack finished for him, “I know. It isn’t easy for every one. You are welcome to be as uncomfortable as you want to be, but give me a chance would you. Holding hands isn’t going to get us beat up and if it does, we’re both armed.”
“It’s not just that,” Ianto said and this time Jack waited for him to say what he was thinking, “I didn’t know if you’d want everyone else knowing you were shagging your teaboy in a more serious fashion.”
“What, that’s not,” Jack said and pushed Ianto against the nearest store window. He kissed him deeply and was surprised as Ianto kissed back instead of pulling away.
