Chapter 13: A Janto WeddingBella grinned as the music changed and she watched Jack pull Ianto out into the center of the dance floor. The two of them looked incredibly happy, as though nothing in the universe could possibly ruin the moment, as though there was nothing in the universe except the two of them.
The wedding had been beautiful, a blending of a modern-day traditional wedding, a standard wedding ceremony from Jack’s time (not that he actually told them exactly
when that was), and a few details that were purely Jack and Ianto. Jack has looked dashing, as always, in a sleek black tux, a pewter grey button-down shirt under his black jacket, and a black tie around his neck. Much to Jack’s disappointment, Ianto had adamantly refused to wear a wedding dress, though that didn’t stop him from looking gorgeous. Instead of the dress Jack had tried to talk him into, Ianto had opted for a pair of nice black slacks paired with a simple long sleeved, white button-down shirt made of a soft, light material. The shirt hung enticingly on Ianto’s form, loose enough that it was comfortable but still tight enough that gave delicious hints at what hid underneath everytime he moved. The two men had both decided to write their own vows, and while Bella had been slightly worried about what Jack might come up with, the vows had been beautiful. She hadn’t been able to keep from grinning as both men had opted to keep the traditional ‘til death do us part’ line in their vows, knowing that it meant that much more for the line to be included since neither of them
could die.
The ceremony had been beautiful and before anyone knew it, they were at the reception. Once everyone had arrived, Jack and Ianto had immediately cut the cake since Jack had claimed that “life is short, you should eat dessert first.” As everyone had sat down with their piece of cake, Owen, who was Jack’s Best Man, had stood up to make the first toast. Everyone had laughed as he told some of the tamer stories he knew of the two, Bella had been proud of him for not saying anything too inappropriate…up until he mentioned how the two had started out as nothing more than a part-time shag, at which point her head had dropped forward and she had smacked her palm against her forehead, muttering about how he was an idiot. The end of his speech had gotten him an amused laugh or grin from everyone as he toasted the couple, “To Jack and Ianto, may they have an eternity of happiness together! And to Ianto, may he survive eternity with Jack with his sanity intact…or at least what’s left of it. Let’s face it, Mate, willingly tying yourself to Jack for eternity? You
must be fucking insane!”
Bella had giggled and shook her head in fond amusement, throwing her napkin at Owen as she stood up to give her own toast as Ianto’s Maid of Honor. She had kept it short, mentioning how the two had ignored their feelings for one another until she had come along and forced them to acknowledge how they felt, talking about how the two were utterly perfect for each other. Saying that she knew they’d have their eternal happiness together, and ending with a simple “To Jack and Ianto.”
Once the speeches were all done, and once Jack had made sure everyone had finished their cake, dinner had been served and everyone had had a wonderful time talking and eating.
And now Jack was leading Ianto onto the dance floor for their first dance as a married couple. He took one of Ianto’s hands in his own, wrapping the other around his new husband’s waist and pulling him close as Ianto’s free hand came up to rest on his shoulder. The two grinned at each other as Jack led them around the dance floor, twirling Ianto under his arm every now and then. Jack paused lightly in the middle of the dance floor, grinding lightly against Ianto in time to the music, causing the Welshman to simply laugh and go along with it while Bella, Tosh and Gwen laughed softly at his antics and Owen simply rolled his eyes. The two continued dancing, Jack twirling Ianto under his arm in a complete circle before pulling him close again. Ianto’s hand slid down from Jack’s shoulder once he was steady once more and easily slipped the buttons from Jack’s jacket, running his hands up Jack’s chest, pushing the jacket off his husband’s shoulders and leaning close as though to kiss Jack, only to pull away as their breath mingled and sliding around behind Jack. He pulled the jacket down as he made his way behind Jack, using the jacket to pull Jack against him before pulling the jacket completely off and throwing it to Bella, who caught it with a laugh and a grin. Ianto returned to his place in front of Jack and they continued to dance once more. Jack twirled Ianto under his arm again, this time guiding him down the length of the dance floor before turning him in a circle again. As he pulled Ianto back into his arms, he tilted the younger man in a dip, grinning as he felt Ianto’s leg come up to wrap around his hip. The two straightened and Jack pulled Ianto close, lifting the Welshman off his feet as he spun the two of them in circles, holding Ianto close.
“Bloody show off,” Owen muttered before letting out a small ‘oof’ and rubbing his ribs where Bella had just elbowed him.
As Ianto’s feet touched the floor once more, Jack leaned in and pressed his lips to Ianto’s, kissing him soundly. Ianto returned the kiss and the two seemed to forget all about their dance. They grinned at one another for a moment after the kiss broke before Jack stepped back, taking both of Ianto’s hands in his as he tugged his husband toward the edge of the dance floor, turning them around once before dropping one of Ianto’s hands and leading him off through the crowd.
Owen snorted as the two disappeared while Bella, Gwen and Tosh just grinned.
“Three guesses where they’re going,” Tosh said with a giggle, “and the first two don’t count.”
Bella just laughed in reply as she pulled Owen on to the dance floor, ignoring the put-upon sigh he let out, knowing it was all for show and that he didn’t really mind dancing. She smiled happily as Owen twirled her quickly before pulling her into his arms, the trumpet skirt of her strapless pewter grey dress, selected to match Jack’s shirt, swirling around her knees where it ended for a moment from the momentum before settling once more as the two started to dance.
Glancing over Owen’s shoulder, Bella smiled as she saw Tosh joining them on the dance floor with her partner. The older woman looked absolutely gorgeous in her dark purple dress. It was a beautiful A-line dress with capped off-the-shoulder sleeves and, like Bella’s, it ended just above her knees.
Gwen looked beautiful in her dress as well. Hers was a bit longer than Bella and Tosh’s, ending just below her knees instead of above. It was a dark wine color and had an empire waistline that flowed into an A-line skirt and was held up by a braided halter strap. Gwen smiled and laughed as Rhys spun her out onto the dance floor and pulled her into his arms.
A few songs later, Jack and Ianto finally rejoined everyone, both looking a bit disheveled, Jack even more-so than Ianto as he had never retrieved his jacket and his button-down shirt was left completely undone revealing the plain white wife beater tank top he was wearing underneath and his tie was draped loosely around his neck. Ianto didn’t have much to muss up and as a result his hair was the only thing that was really in disarray.
“Have fun?” Bella asked in amusement as she made her way over to the newlyweds, Owen right behind her.
Ianto laughed as he leaned into Jack’s side. “Of course,” he replied.
“You’re still wearing the tie?” Owen asked, looking at Jack in surprise, “I would have figured that would be long gone by now, most likely lost in a broom closet somewhere.”
Jack just grinned at him as he replied, “Yeah, well, Ianto liked it, so I figured I’d keep it.”
Ianto tilted his head up to smile at Jack and used said tie to pull him down for a kiss. “Mmm, yes,” he murmured in agreement as they broke apart, “very sexy.”
Bella giggled and shook her head before reaching out and grabbing Ianto’s hand and tugging him away from Jack. “Come on, I want at least one dance with each of you before the night is through,” she said as she headed for the dance floor, Ianto trailing behind her with a smile.
“Hey, what about me?” Owen asked with a pout.
Bella turned, walking backwards to the dance floor as she replied, laughter in her eyes and a grin on her face. “Dance with Jack!”
Owen turned to look at Jack and shook his head. “I don’t bloody think so.”
Jack laughed. “Fine,” he replied, “if you won’t dance with me, then why don’t you go rescue Tosh? Her date keeps stomping on her toes; at this rate she won’t be able to walk much longer.”
Owen glanced over his shoulder to see that Jack was right and winced in sympathy as the guy Tosh was dancing with stepped on her toes once more. Making his way over, he lightly tapped her partner on the shoulder, asking politely if he could cut in and stifling a laugh as he heard Tosh’s audible sigh of relief. As the other man stepped back and walked away, presumably to try and find some other poor woman to abuse with his atrocious dancing skills, Owen stepped forward and wrapped his arms around Tosh, pulling the tiny woman close as a slow song started. Tosh sighed softly as she wrapped her arms around Owen’s neck and laid her head on his shoulder, feeling his cheek come to rest on top of her head, the two of them slowly swaying in time to the music.
A couple songs later and Jack had cut in on Ianto and Bella, making sure Bella got her dance with him before the night was over.
“It was a beautiful wedding,” Bella said as she smiled up at Jack as the revolved slowly on the dance floor.
Jack nodded. “It was,” he agreed. “Would have been better if Ianto had agreed to wear a wedding dress, though.”
Bella laughed at the Captain and shook her head. “There was never any chance of that happening. He knew if he did it once, you’d try to talk him into it again.”
Jack grinned down at her. “Of course, why wouldn’t I?”
Bella just smiled at him and leaned up to kiss him on the cheek. “You two have fun on your honeymoon,” she said. “Don’t do anything I wouldn’t do.”
Jack arched an eyebrow at her, an amused smile on his face, “Well, considering you’re shagging Owen, I’m pretty sure that’s a fairly short list.”
Bella snorted with laughter but didn’t say anything in reply.
“I only have one request while I’m gone,” Jack said and Bella looked up at him questioningly. “Don’t blow up the Hub, please?”
“I make no promises,” Bella replied.
“Well, I can hope, right? So, Izzie, what are you going to do while I’m gone?”
Bella looked up at Jack with a smirk as she replied. “Oh, you know, the usual. Pizza…Owen…Save the world a couple times.”
Jack blinked down at Bella for a few seconds as he recalled saying almost the exact same words to Gwen at her wedding just over a year and a half earlier. A second later, he burst out laughing, pulling Bella into a hug as she started laughing as well.
A few minutes after they had calmed down once more, Bella felt a soft tap on her shoulder and looked up to see Ianto standing there. Leaning up, she pressed a quick kiss to Jack’s cheek once more before turning and doing the same to Ianto.
“He’s all yours,” she said to Ianto as she stepped back, smiling at the two happy men who meant so much to her. Wandering off to track down Owen or Tosh, she left the newlyweds to get lost in each other once more on the dance floor.
