He didn't, but Jack could lie with the best of them. No one should be dropped off in a strange place like a puppy at the pound. Who did that? It was his mission not to let Ianto get lost and spend his time being alone. That was a word he hated. Alone. It even sounded ugly. Since Jack didn't sleep due to a medical condition unless heavily drugged, his bed was an easy thing to give up. Ianto could sleep there until the guests had to leave the school.
And he had popcorn that he was now willing to share.
"No, it's not! I bet you would like Ned. He makes some of the most delicious pies ever. Then there's Will. He's sort of odd and shy, but if you like dogs, he'll get along with you. Avoid the Lecter twins. They're weird. Oh, and Bruce! You have to meet him. I bet he could find Wales on the map."
Jack may not be the best student. Brilliant according to his teachers but too lazy to get much done. None of that changed the heartening grin he gave Ianto.
"You'll be fine. I promise! Crowley, Becky and all of the others will be around too."
If that look of near-despair on the stranger's face faded, that would be enough for Jack. No one should ever look that lost and alone. Not while he was around.
