Summary: Secrets at Torchwood something that the Captain and the Teaboy know and can never say.***
They knew, but never mentioned it. Silence defined their relationship.
When Ianto, exhausted and afraid, reached out, it was for Lisa. Jack knew and offered himself instead, allowing Ianto what comfort he could find in his presence.
When Jack, abandoned, hurting, made love to Ianto with brutal haste, it was the Doctor he needed. Ianto knew and suffered it; anything to ease Jack's loneliness.
Gratitude for the acting changed; became love, the center of their lives. That was never mentioned, either, but they knew. They were still second. And better second in the other's heart than love of another's life.
